nent member Of the House or from dis
eliminating judgment and quick percep-
ton, he has certainly few peers on the roll
of the next Congress. Through long
public life. by uprightness, integrity and
faithful services he has gained the conf
dence of the people of the whole nation.
Throughout the late bitter canvass, when
SANDER and invective was hurled at most
of our prominent leaders,l not word
affecting his honesty or the purity of his
private or public life was heard. Hestands
, among the best, ablest and purest of oul
public men, and his elevation to any high
er sphere of duty would be honorable alike
to the nation and its servant.
He represents the best elements of the
Republican party of the South-the mel
who have been always true to the Govern
ment and consistently, honestly and ably
the champions of Republican principles
Why, then, if fitted for this position, if de
serving it upon his merits, and if having
additional claims upon it, because of hi
geographical position, should he not b.

SEND FORWARD PETITIONS.

We are glad to notice the increasing in.
terest manifested throughout the State in
the public school question. In connection
with the gratifying results Of the late cleo
ton it is a most suspicious beginning for
the new era now opening before our peo-
pie. We believe our next Legislature will
assemble fnlly conscious Of the advanced
step public sentiment demands in sill legis-
lation affecting the vital interests Of Ten
nessee. We have never been so hopeful Of
our future for we have never seen such a
healthful public opinion on Education.
Immigration, Manufacturing and better
Public Roads. And now while our
people are fully aroused on these great
questions, we suggest to the friends of these
reforms the plan of preparing and forward
ing to the Legislature to assemble, petitions
asking for liberal legislation on such SUBJ
jects as the petitioners deem most pressing,
but especially upon those We have named.
Let our legislators be made to understand
that the people will sanction all reasona-
bic progress on these subjects and they will
be more prompt to act.
The Nashville Banner has an article on
the school question worthy of attention.
1t suggests that the balance of our school
fund, which is justly due the State and
which amounts to a million and a-half
dollars, should be made available by
proper legislation. The annual interes
on this san is sso, 900. This interest is dat
for some years. 1t should be paid and the
sum appropriated to establish as soon az
practicable thorough public school sys-
tenn. But we shall have more to say here
after Oh this subject. For the present, we
wish again to urge upon the friends Of our
needed reforms the necessity Of full and
pointed petitions to the Legislature, de-
manding prompt action in their favor.
Now is the time for Tennessee to put her
self right before..the country. Now Is the
time for work. Friends, let MS put our
shoulders to the wheel once more and we
will surely come off successful and do a
glorious work for the commonwealth.
