IL the statistics concerning Colleges, in
the report of the Commissioner of Educa-
ton ut Washington, we find facts which
ought to be of profit to us in Tennessee in
determining our permanent basis fora sys-
tenn of education. Massachusetts, that
has three illiterate adults to every one hun
dred inhabitants, has about six colleges,
while Tennessee, with twelve adult IL
literates to every one hundred, has Seren-
teen Colleges. Connecticut, with but four
adult illiterates to every one hundred per-
SONS, has but three Colleges. But i'll Con-
necticut we find Yale College, and i'll Mas
sachusetts Howard and Amherst. In
Tennessee our Colleges are almost as num-
erous as our preparatory schools. Perhaps
If we concentrated our funds and energy
upon one or two Colleges, and pal more
attention to the primary schools, we coul
prosper more.

The English IN london are rep
resented as being Intensely excited
over the claims Of the United States
in the .ildJd0a case. The Tory
party is trying to force the -Ala-
6ama question upon Parliament,
and obtain q vote that Would test
its want ofconidence in the Glad
stone Ministry. In consequence of
this the Gladstone party desire an
amendment to the .fldJama case so
as to parry the Tory attacks. With
this thought uppermost, the admin
istration at Washington was urged
to withdraw its claims for conse-
aaeatial damage but the Presi-
dent is firm in his conviction that
the case shall not be amended or
Withdrawn. lie regards the Ger
man commission asa court, and feels
that the United States has a right
to 90 before the court like any 9TH
erparty and submit its claims for
decision. The English Minister,
Mr.. hon'ton, opposes this view Of y
the President, and argnes that the
Geneva Commission should be
rated as a conference, and not as a
court. lie thought that there could
be no peace il our case were prescn-
ed in the form of a misconduct in-
dictmcnt. The Times declares that
England must give immediate no
tice to the. Geneva arbitrators, and
the American Government, that if
the American case is truly reported,
all efforts to arbitrate may as well
cease, The indirect damages de-
mand is the principal feature in the
claim Of the United States which
excites the English. John Bull is
just as overbearing and unrcason-
able in his disposition as ever. lie
agreed to a court of arbitration, but
now wants to dictate not only his
own case, but Uncle Sans case also,
or else consider the whole thing as
a mere conference. Who ever heard
ofthc defendant in suit determin-
ing the nature and character of the
charges brought before the court
against him ? Cupidity and love Of
gain prompted John bull to become
party to acts Of war against the
United States; and it is right and
Just that he should make restitu-
ton, 50 far as possible, for the dam
ages committed, either directly or
indirectly. and I've mead not expect
to force the Washington admins
tration hlto,a false position, simply
to defend the English Cabinet
against the Tories.

warm In winter as necessary. Then
there mast be, If fpossible, a stream of
living water run IN trouglls through It,
in which to set the milk pans with
milk. And then these pans, mostly
crooks that hold a halt gallon or more,
are kept sweet by hot water and o

ONE or THE FALSE STORIES AGAINST
GENERAL GRANT TAKEN BACK.

It Is one Of the most comnlon com
plants against journalists that, when
In error, they do not make proper re-
paration. Not designing to deserve
this criticism, 1 wish to correct a
statement III one Of my letters some
time since, respecting the alleged gift
Of Tom Murphy and others of a cot
tage at Long Branch to General Grant.
At the time had every reason to be-
lieve that the popular version of the
matter was tIIie, but later inquiry
has shown that | was in error, as the
following statement will demonstrate:
| lately had occasion to meet Judge
Edward Pierrepont respecting his re-
ported appointment as successor of
Hamilton Fish in Grants Cabinet, and
taking the advantage Of the opportt,-
nifty lasked Judge Pierepont respect
ing the gifts reported as having been
accepted by the President. Iii reply
he said that for himself he would say
positively that he had never given Il
single dollar either directly or iDdi-
rectly to Gen. Grant, Notwithstanding
all newspaper reports to the contrary.
lie had. as was generally known, sub
scribed $40, to aid the Republican
party to carry the Presidential cleo
ton, but he made no apology for that.
The money was mostly spent in this
city and State, a portion being spent
in other parts of tile country, but it
was used solely for election purposes
and not paid to General Grant. Re
specting the cottage at Long Branch
he said he had often heard General
Grant speak Of 1t Of the sum paid
for it. and of the difficulty he had In
raising SO large an amount. The Judge
was quite satisfied from all he had
heard In the matter that the story OF
the cottage having been given as a
present to Gen. Grant was wholly un-
true. In order to gain still further In
formation on this point | called on Mr.,
Howard Potter, Of the banking firm Of
Brown Brothers & Co, who said thai
4 he had been the owner of the Long
Branch cottage but owing to the III
health of one Of his family he had con
cluded to sell it.
This he did through Mr.. Lewis II
Brown. a real estate broker, who act
ed as Gen. Grants agent in the sale
The consideration was $4,000, an
Mr.. Potter himself made out the dee
in the Generals name. He though
the story that the cottage had bee
presented to Gen. Grant was rs absur
as the report that he had given 1t
the President himself.
