4 CENSUS.

A Democratic census of the House
members on the Cincinnati question,
it is said, shows, of those whose
views are known, 81 straight ont
Democrats and 40 s~o-called pos
sums" If Judge Davis and Curtln,
or Charles Francis Adams and Groes-
beck are nominated, the 10 pos
sums will advocate acq~uiescence at
the Democratic Convention, and -
of the other 81 will also give assent,
while the other six will drop in line
as captives. This is claimed to be a
fair census In the United States
Senate nearly every Democrat stands
on the same footing as the 70 Rep
resentatives. A Republican of the
House says that it was a little re-
markable, ID his views, that every
prominent Republican who pro
posedtojointhe Cincinnati movement
ciyes excuse for his conduct. The
Liberal movement in Washington
seems to be fast gaining strength.
It's friends count in almost any
contingency the electoral votes OF
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
and Indiana in their favor, and have
strong homes of Ohio.

The witness replied;

they were worked mere in the inter

But my limited space will not per
nit a further review of this testimony
at present. The whole volume goes TO
show that under blighting influences
of the Bank ring. confidence in a pur-
suit which constitutes the basis of
Nevada's prosperity, is being rapidly
destroyed, and that the only way 10
defeat them is by means of the tuanel.

OUTLOOK.

The New Year has it's suggest, rs
pertinent suggestions present themselves.
When, in 1869, the school law was re-
pealed, We then ~prophesied that it would
be a long time before the Strte Of Tenues-
see enjoyed the benefits of an efficient
school system. The eventful years Of
20 anu I'll have passed away and moth
ing scarcely has been to build up common
schools or increase the intelligence of the
people. Free Schools rave been actually
legislateG out of the State. The school
houses have been virtually closed and the
children doomed to suffer all the ills that
ignorance is heir to.
We are now standing in the threshold
of the New Year, 1872. The education
al outlook is dark and unpropitious.-
Nothing inviting appears to gladden. the
hearts of the children or encourage the
friends of popular education. The desc
late school house casts its long and dole
ful shadow over the prospect before u.s.
The school book has been closed against
the children, and the teacher ordered
from the great State of Tennessee.
What does all this mean! There is a
grand lesson in it, if We can only read it
Alright. No school law! No school sys-
tenn No school books! What signs of
promise nave We for the future prosperity
OF tire State?
Public opinion is. apparently. fact set
Ting down against the establishments I'll
free schools in the State. There is but
little hope for young mci in this country.
Immigration. upon which VIC depend for
population and capital, will be driven to
other States. Young men of eucrgy and
enterprise will seek bou,es in the West.
where education Is free aud Intelligence,
the basis of all true prosperity, is encour-
aged by the State, and recognized by tae
people as the only sure foundation of re-
publican institutions.
Our people will see. when 1T is too
late, We fear, that the loss of a school sys-
is the worst calamity that could have
befallcn the State. Young men may as
we'll begin to cast about than for more
congenial homes. This country is not
the place ans longer for those who wish to
rise in the world. The inference W.
draw from there things is, our young men
must seek homes aud fields of labor else
where.

/ Many districts in the county have been
unable up to this time to open schools
The small amount Of public money due
each district is not sufficient to induce
the people to organize schools under the
present school law.
The Board of Education looking at the
d~estitution of the children in many locali-
ties, has been induced to memorable the
Worshipful County Court of Washington
County to levy a small tax for school pur-
poses. Unless this be done, the schools Of
this county will be compelled to suspend
indefinitely.
Papers will be circulated il each civil dis
trict for the parpose of obtaining signers to
the memorial. The friends of education
feel that the County Court will levy .
small tax, if the people approve of the
measure.
1t is now generally conceded that the
State has abandoned the idea Of establish
ing Free Schools, at least, the action of the
Legislature so indicates. The county
system, without a tax to support it, will
fall into ruin despite all that can be done
by the Board Of Education. Several
schools within our knowledge will be
compelled to close soon, unless something
be done. A few that draw aid from the
Peabody Educational Fund may be able
to continue through the year. but we
doubt the .propriety of drawing aid from
other sources when we ourselves show so
little interest in the cause of popular edu-
cltion. If We are unwilling to help our
selves We ought to feel Inundated in ask
ing others to help us.
There is some hope of a National system
of Education. We approve the measure
heartily. Until it does come, if it ever
does, We must do all we eau to
the people to establish schools for the ed
~ucation of their children.

We need in the ministry, now and in
all time, men of plain speech. The
preachers language must not be that of
the classroom, but of all classes not of
the university. but of the universe. Men
who have learned to speak from books

homely, plain, nervous, forcible, never

At the same time we do not desire a
race of coarse men who regard slang as
being plain speech. which it certainly is
not. Admitted that n coarse man may
hive his sphere. IT is equally certain that
he il united for many other spheres of
equal Importance. If it be granted that
a spice of vulgarity may adapt a man for
special service among navyles and coster-
mongers. We question whether, even with
then. there may not be . more excellent
way, and there are other people, in the
world to be considered beside these. We
are confident that ordinarily. coarseness is
weakness, and ought to be avoided ; and
we should no more think Of preaching the
Gospel in the slang of the thieves kitchen
than in the jarson of the Neologists.-

- country teacher, (J. H. K

elaborate paper on an important topic
