A CERTAIN Democratic sheet not a
thousand miles away copies approvingly,
an attack on Hon. Horace Maynard and
his Ignorant and peculiar mOuntaineer"
constituents and alludes to that gentle
mans career in Washington as ''dreary
and proftless" one, barren of good to the
people he represents. Well, it can be said
for Mr.. Maynard that he has never dis
graced his constituents by getting in a
state of beastly intoxication incapacitating
him for discharging his public duties. He
has never been guilty of appropriating
funds not his own, to his own private use.
His ability is not questioned, by even his
enemies in Congress. His moral charac-
ter has never been, nor never will be Sue
cassful1y attacked.

THE State of Tennessee possesses unsur-
passed resources. She has the climate and
every natural advantage required for
prosperous and influential State. But
these are not all the elements required to
make thriving Commonwealth. A de-
termined, godly and intelligent colony,
reared on the bleak coasts Of New Eng
land. community in every respect
model for such civil organizations. The
great essentials to good government and a
prosperous people are education, religion
and labor. With these agencies, States
may be made powerful and prosperous
even with natural obstacles of the most
serious character to overcome. Without
these we can not grow as State, no mat
ter by how many attractions nature aids us.
The work before US as people is to pro-
mote the great agencies we have named,
for they are the very foundations without
which our civil structure can never attain
strength.
Though our Legislature falling entirely
to comprehend the duties and opportuni-
ties before them, has failed to give us one
single line of legislation to give encourage
ment to the friends of progress and
reform, we have yet hope that the
people will be prompted to prose-
cute in their behalf the great work
before them. We ought not perhaps to
expect much encouragement for reform
and enlightened progress from delibera-
tive body, the highest branch of which is
led by professional duellist and both
branches of which have no higher ambi-
ton than to carry out partisan schemes
and promote legislation providing place
and emoluments for professional politi-
clans and public stipendiaries. The fact
that such men are chosen to enact laws
and provide for their administration is one
of the drawbacks against which the people
must contend and one which even genial
climate and unrivalle1 natural resources
can overcome only by patient and intelli-
gent effort. These are obstacles far more
disheartening than sterile rocks and bar
rem soils, for labor can overcome the lat
ter. whereas time and education must as
sist labor in battling down the preiudices
and errors engendered by the class of men
referred to.
But the work must proceed and in good
time the harvest will come. There are
brave and energetic men enlisted in the
great work of building up our State, and
they will carry it through. Schools and
churches and associations of every kind
must lend helping hand. The politi-
clans must not be allowed to make every
interest of the State subservient to their
purposes and secondary to partisan success.
1t will be so, however, until We can get
better men to discharge public duties, and
we will not secure this result until school
houses aud churches outnumber dram
shops and political club rooms.

"A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Herald furnishes half column of abuse
and Islander, directed at Hon. Horace
Maynard. One of the points made is that
that gentleman owes his position in Con-
gress to the fact that his constituentsare' zig
norant and peculiar mountaineers.p A
local paper dependent upon these 'ignO-
rant and peculiar noun taineers" for sup
port, copies the SANDER in question and
thinks it is very smart. Ignorant and

If it should turn out as has been inti-
mated in our dispatches, that the Prince
Of Wales has been feigning sickness in
order to get up sympathy for himself, it is
not likely to do him much good in the
end. A Prince that is forced to resort to
such a subterfuge to bolster himself up
with his people, would not be likely to
prove very popular on the throne.

WEEDs.-I was once walking
with a farmer through a beautiful
field, when he chanced to see tall
thistle OH the other side of the
fence. In an instant he sprang over
the fence and cut it Off close to the
ground.
'eIs that your field 20 | asked.
"Oh, no." said the farmer, s'but
bad weeds don't care for small
fences, and if | should leave that
thistle to blossom i'll my neighbor's
field, I should soon have plenty IN
my own.
[ wish all fathers and mothers
would think of that. The evil
weeds in your neighbor's field will
scatter seeds into your own. 80 1T
is worth while to pull them up in
selfdefence. Every weed pulled
up in your neighbor's field is a dam
gerous enemy driven away from
your own.
