Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1872-07-04

For the last sixteen years, we have had
but two parties, and the mere title of the
opposition amounts to nothing. The style
or name Of the party opposed to Repuli-
cauism and the advancement of the coun-
try, disguised under whatever name you
please, amounts to the same. Its leaders
and their principles are too well known
to mis-lead the honest masses. Greeley,
Trumbull, and some other politicians have
left the old camp, but intelligent people
can easily detect their motive in deserving.
They hope to gain in the Democratic
party what they failed to extort by
threats from the present administration.
This is plain to be seen from the fact that
their first move in the enemies camp, was
to claim, and demand leading and prom
inent positions.
They charmed the Democracy into the
belief that they would havo many followers
and led them to surrender their ancient
policy, and to place these deserters at the
head of their ranks for the campaign.
Knowing very well that the defeat of the
Republican party places the administra-
ton of the Government, in Democratic
bands.
1t is true by these deserters. the Re
publican party will lose a few from 1t;
ranks, but the honest men who have here
tofore been prejudiced against our party
and who have become satisfied that 1t Il
to the best interest of the ~naticn, to con
tinue the same party in power that hai
already done SO much towards the devel
opement of our resources, the payment Of
the public debt, the reduction ~oftaxation
and establishment Of prosperity through
ont the nation, will flock to, and swell th'
ranks far beyond its former force. Their
il not a day that we do not receive tn
welcome news of some honest Democra
recruit. They object to being bough
or sold, and are the advance guard o
thousands of. pure-hearted men who ar
anxious to leave the party that has op
posed in almost every manageable wa
the elements of progress and reform. L
the renewal of the old fight, we shall no
miss Horace Greeley, as his influence am
power was only felt when he was for RICH
and justice.

TnE NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

The 4th, of July, the anniversary of
American Independence with all its
noise and confusion, its merry making,
and rejoicing, its memories and associa-
tions is upon us. Ninety six years ago to-
day the declaration of American Indepen-
dence was published to the world, and
the old bell Oh independence Hall, Phila-
delphia rang out the glad tidings which
proclaimed a nations birth. This act while
it was received with rejoicing and patri-
otto enthusiasm by the many, was not
entered upon by the Immediate p%artici-
pants without a due appreciation of the
dangers attendant shereon. The siencrs
of the Declaration of Independence were
all men of acknowledged ability and
many of them of profound learning and
experience. They were not the style of
men who embark in. an undertaking SO
fraught with peril without first weighing
the chances of success or failure and
giving to each its full share of thoughtful
aud anxious consideration. No one
knew better than themselves the fatal
result Of a failure to tecure by force Of
arms the independence they sought
They knew but too we'll that they risked
not only life and fortune but that a fail
ure would doubly increase a nations
burthens which had already been found
too great to bear
With these facts before US, there cal
be no more sublime picture tEan that o
these men in that dark hour of persona
danger and national dependency ant
distress, pledging their every interest o
..life, fortune and sacred honor. to tn
cause of liberty and Independence
Then Why should we not in these day
Of national glory and prosperity devote on
day in each year to the sacred duty q
keeping green the memory of those grea
and good men and of con.memorating tn
glorious achievements that characterize
their lives? Let us then as a people fol
get for one day atlcast the unhappy issue
That a less wise generation of statesme
have forced US to meet, and resolve anc
that this nation shall ever a stand livin
monument to their glorious memory.

POLITICS AND EDUCATION.

Our readers need not be startled at the
heading of this article. We have no
inclination or desire to enter the political
arena, neither do we intend to eulogize
or defame those who aspire to political
honors.
We believe that the wisest and best
men of our country differ asst the meth
DDS best adopted to secure the welfare of
the people. Men may honestly differ.
Political excitements often do good. A
free and open discussion of the various
modes suggested for the accomplishment
of a given purpose pre2ares.the people to
exercise their own judgment more under
standingly. The difficulty is, however,
in men not thinking and reading for
themselves. The educated are not likely
to become the subjects of the scheming
politician.
"The hope for the future of our coun-
try is not in the Republican nor In the
Democratic party, simply as a political
organization but it is in an educated and
an enlightened constituency: Educated
to read, think, and act for themselves
educated in the principles Of morality
and sterling integrity ; educated In ali
that is essential to constitute a true and
intelligent citizen of the best government
the sun ever shone upon. The theory Of
our government should be, as Horace
Mann so forcibly expresses it, mot that
all men, however, unfit, shall be voters,
but that every man. by the power of rea-
son and the sense of duty. shall become
fit to be a voter. Education must bring
the practice as near as possible to the
theory. As the children now are, SO will
the s9vereigns soon pc. How can we ex'
pect the fabrick of the government tc
stand, if vicious materials are daily
wrought into its framework? Education
must prepare our citizens to become NUM-
cipal officers, intelligent jurors, homes
witnesses, legislators, or competent judges
of legislation-in fine, to fill all the mani
fold relations of life. For this end. il
must be universal. The whole land must
be watered with the streams of knowledge

of the new order OK things by the Gree
ley party, they should upon the very first
occasion give the lie direct, as Greeley
himself would say, to their professions
If force is to be used in this campaign to
resist Republican speakers, the sooner we
know it the better. Force must be re-
sisted By force.
Hero is a gentleman. who is a native

honorcd time and again by his State and
Nation, with positions of high trust a
gentleman an honor to any country; one
who but a few weeks ago was selected as
the presiding officer of the most distin-
guished National Political Convention,
that ever met upon American soil, and
who was selected for his great qualities

of his COUNT Is Flags insulted threatened

of the American people. We blush for
our institutions, when a mob will and can
suppress the freedom of speech, the proud
prerogative of American citizenship.
Will these outrages never cease? Will
mob law become a synonym with Southern
politics? AS sure as justice prevades the
American people, SO sure will they vindl'
cate Republic,n principles. of which free
speech forms a cardinal point. We hold
the Greeley party North and South res

LOCKWOOD COAL BANK On
FIRE. ~ s3
Nearly -Four Days Fighting will
the Flames.

The Chattanooga Herald of Monday
states that the yentilating iue of the Rock
wood Coal Bank caught fire last Tuesday
night and burned most furiously until
Saturday. when. by the most determined
efforts, it was extinguished- The few
goes up from the rooms below through
over one hundred feet of solid coal "a fire
is kept at the bottom of this shaft to stim-
ulate the draft, and, it is supposed, COM
municated to the surrounding coal. Tbe
rooms below being SO large, it was found
impossible to shut off the supply OF ar
from below, and the white blaze shot up
over one hundred feet into the air. The
plan used to ~extinguish the fire was to dig
out the burning coal from below and put
it out with water brought in buckets from
the drain in the interior of the mine, some
three hundred feet distant. Fifty men
were kept at this day and night, from
Wednesday until Saturday at noon.
The FIRE had penetrated over thirty feet
into the solid coal on onc side, and only
Eve or six feet on the other, and to dig
out this mass of red hot coal was terrible
work. Water had no effect on it until il
was dug loose. and the heat and steam
was suffocating; but the men, led by
! Capt. Harris, the coal boss, worked with 3
will. and succeeded in saving the grea'
coal property. the heat was SO great a.

Teachers Institute.

EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
What is a teachers Institute? This is
something we wish to know. and some>
thing the teachers of the county should
know.
Those teachers who are enlisted in the
profession and desire to elevate its STAN
dard, and are interested In the cause of
education in the county, have already
gained some ideas on the subject from
the educational reports and periodicals of
other States, and they are impressed that
such an institute properly established and
conducted would be invaluable.
Organization on the part of teachers
is necessary ; and since our State has no
such a thing as a normal school, the ne
cessity is made more Imperative.
We can think of many things that would
come before an organized body of teachers
for consideration. No man, with an ex-
perience of even a score of years in teach
ing. would be SO presumptuous as to sup
pose that he was perfect, and while the
less experienced would learn much by
conference and contact with the better
disciplined, the latter would not fail to
share the advantages and they might pos.
| sibly learn wisdom from the tyro of the
| school-room.
For our schools to be successful, they
must be grade6-we must have a uniform
itv of text-books-many teachers need t.
know much about discipline, &c., &c. We
have looked in vain to pro,niscuOas source
for efficient and applicable assistance TO-
the adjustment Of difficulties, then lie
there be a cooperation of those concerned
and a ixity developed which will at leas
facilitate their regulations.
Do those who have been engaged ii
teaching intend to continue ? Or are the,
merely serving an apprenticeship, using
i as a stepping stone to something higher
If the latter, their accommodations will b
small. and while they are making bu
little, the people Of the country are losinI
much. The teacher, hitherto. has hal
nothing to prompt him to work. and not
he has but little /; but let him show tina
he apuraciates that little-the step th
country has taken to educate its children
Let those who expect to teach school
come out and unite themselves together
and do something that will prove then
selves more worthy the name of instruc'
ors. aud as the educational officials Of th
county-board, commissioners, &c. wi
cooperate, we may hope for somethinl
better in the future: 49,

has the following in regard to this impor-
tant road.
1.-The Louisville Common Council has
refused to subscribe $1,000, 900 to enable
the Louisville and Nashville Road to meet
Gen. Malone at the Gap; at the same
time they offer to pay a former subserip-
ton of 81, OeO, 900. This being so, we
think arrangements can be made to push
the enterprise forward, provided the Louis
Vile and Nashville Road really desires to
make connection. A short time will de,
velop matters.

from this point to the Gap. we are inform

is nearly through. He informs us thai
he does not think that the damages on the
entire line will amount to more then $l5,.

The line strikes some twenty-five houses
the most of them, however, of small
