Can he leave Ial his wrongs to the future,
and carry his heart in his cheek? Can he do

an equal, and brow-beat an impudent Ounce?
Can he keep things in apple-pie order, and do

Roscoe COnkling.

Mr.. Conkling always speaks in 'day of
judgment" tone. If he rises to ask that a
letter should be read, it is as if he had already
heard Gabrieps trumpet, and was impressing
upon those who were deaf the awful solemni-
ty of the occasion. Always great in vituper'
alton, opposition to Sumner gives double zest.
A man of opinions rather than of principles,
what he thinks is valuable to him chiefly be-
cause he thinks it, not because it is right or
true, though it may happen to be both. He
is a man of intense personal animosities, of
bitter prejudices, and of monstrous arrogance
He who dares to cross his path he wipes out
like fly. The man running the same race
he hates if he ouGstrips him; he alone can
command his affections who in no wise inter-
feres with his ambitions. All these mental
and personal qualities came into full play in
his mastery speech of Thursday, for in some
phases mastery it was. His vocabulary of
words is choice, copious, apparently illimita-
Bile; and their speaker is so impressed with
their power and Importance that it is very
difficult for his hearers not to be also. He IL

PLAIN TALK TO IsMAM G. HARRIS.
what Became OF the school Fund.


Democratic politicians in Tennessee have
been engaged in circulating the blistering,
unmitigated falsehood that the Radicals"
stole the school fund in this State. "When
thieves and rogues fall out, honest men
get their dues" But for the Chatham
Johnson unpleasantness,n no Democrat, per-
haps, would have ever been frank enough
to admit the truth. King Isham G.. Harris
had discussion at Murfreesboro' the other
day and among other plain spoken words,
we find the following in the Banner, a.
having been addressed by Col, Colyar to
Isham G. Harris charged that the levying
of a tax on the people of Nashville during
the war without due process of law was
great crime and "cught to damn Mr.. John
son forever" Col. Colyar said
Mr. Johnson was Military Governor
not civil Governor under the oath of of
fice-that right, or wrong, such contribu-
ton had been collected among all people
in time of war, while the war was actually
going on, and all the books on war justified
it, that as war meant to conquer by eX-
haustion, it was worse than nonsense to
deny the right as war measure, but that
Governor Harris was the last man in the
world to make this question, and that he
proposed to take him rs a subject and illus
trate what he meant, though the points
were not ut all parallel, that Governor
Harris himself in 1861 while Governor, UNI
der an oath to support the Constitution,
and only in anticipation of war, caused
what was called II Military Board to take,
and which was taken by his orders, with
out due process of law, in the month of
May, 1861, while the State was still in the
Union, from the Bank of Tennessee and
out of the sacred school fund, secured by
the Constitution To the children of the
State forever, $685., 9l3 that without due
process of law. he took in June of this fund

taken without due process of law, 81 800,

Governor Harris, not only for war pur
poses and without nue PROCESS of law, took
this large sum from the children of the
State, but he went to the Planters Bank
