Exit Andrew johnson,

ANDREW JOHNSON, the great dis
turber of the political peace and
tranquility of Tennessee, has at last
found his Waterloo. The 9Th of No
vember, 1872, is TO him what the 18th
of June, 1915, was to the "chiid of
destiny" This NAPoLEoN of politi-
clans must retire to the st. Helena CT
disappointed hopes, perhaps never
again to listen to the uproar of bat
tie.
We can but admire fallen great
ness. And he has fallen. But
like his great military prototype, his
last days were his most heroic.
Since that Saturday night at Nash
vile, when he threw down the gaunt-
let of the conflict, declaring that
EARNED with truth, and fortified
with the Constitution of his country,
he feared no man, though his assail-
ants be all Goliaths," until the war
fare terminated on Tuesday last, no
more gallant or heroic combat of a
similar character, was ever fought
by one single msn-though it was
selfish warfare, waged against the
good of the State. But, like the he
no of a hundred battles, he sunk
beneath the weight of numbers. he
struggled valiantly against destiny ;
like Ajax, he defied the lightning of
heaven. In vain did he say, "fOr
four years l stood solitary and alone
upon the ramparts of the Constitu-
ton, battling for the rights of the
people, under the flag of the Union. F"
Destiny had decreed his downfall.
Well may he exclaim, 81 have fought
a good fight!" but he cannot add
those other grand words of the
great Apostle, 81 have kept the
| faith"

els America to be Horseless ?" is
the startling question propountled by
the New York World in view of the
amazing rapidly with which the
horse disease is spreading. An &C
tive horse could not travel as last as
this strange malady. I he seeds of the
disease seem to be in the air. and
spreads with facility that any Ordinary
measure Of inspection or quarantine
would be useless. The World thinks
at the rate the disease is spreading the
novel spectacle may be presented in
that city of the busiest streets there
being utterly hOrseless, and minus
their thrOng of carts, carriages, ON
nibuses, and street-cars. We NAV
look then TO see Broadway i'm
its narrowest portion as easy to
cross as country road. 1t would be
odd, indeed, to see that horsey CITY
so changed, and its citizens all in as
desperate want of the equine animal
as King Richard in the play.

GEN. GEORGE NANCY, of Nashville,
wrote letter in favor of GRANT for
the Presidency, during the late can
vass. He was the gallant Colonel OF
the First Tennessee Regiment in
1861, at which time he was made
Brigadier General. His conduct has
been severely criticized by his old
companions-in-arms. &. While we
think he was unwise in preferring
GRANT. truculent, uncompromising
enemy of the South, to GREELEY, .
generous and warm-bearted friend,
yet we will not question the homes
ty of his intentions, nor accuse him
of being traitor to his friends. 1t
takes a high order of courage for a
favored son Of the South to espouse
Radicalism, which is so justly detest-
able to Southerners. We will gladly
welcome the day when Radicalism
shall have thrown off its malignan-
cy and meanness, and have become
SO far respectable as to receive into
its folds such of the Democrats as are
always fomen;ing discord in the
ranks of the party, and yet are not
bold enough to leave it. Let them
be brave like Gen. NANCY, and 60
boldly over 10 RadicalisD, or cease
fighting Radical battles under Dem
ocratic banners.

JUDGE PETER TURNEY, one of the
Supreme Judges of Tennessee, made
o political speech at Winchester, last
Tuesday, in which he is reported to
have abused ANDREW JOHNSON to
his hearts content. We were equal
ly mortified and astonished at this.
We could scarcely believe that q
man holding his pure and exalted
position, could SO far forget the Dig
pity of his Office, as to sdraggle the
sacred ermine of justice, which lie
wore, in the muddy pool of politics.
At the North, where it is customary
for ministers Of the gospel to dabble
in politics, this would not have much
surprised us, but occurring as it did
in our own Southern. State, it aston
fishes US. Whoever desires to keep
the fountain of justice pure, must
condemn this proceeding on the part
of one of our Supreme Judges.

For several years past we have
warned our people against the dam
gerous political teachings of the
Nashville Banner. While the Radi-
cal party in Tennessee, was in state of
perfect organization, the Banner kept
up an unrelenting warfare against
Democratic organization. Although
the Democracy had made no laws
that were not for the welfare of the
people, and had done nothing that
any reasonable man could object to,
yet it must be destroyed. Ofcourse
the result of all this could be nothing
but benefit TO the Radical party.
The Banner poisoned the public
mind against Democratic Conven-
tons, and in this way brought about
the late disastrous division in our
ranks. Having succeeded in tenn.
porarily, at least, disruptirg the De-
mocratic party of Tennessee, the
Banner comes out boldly now, and
endorses GRANT in the following
words:
cit is the part of wisdom not only
gracefully to acquiesce in the re-
election of Gen. Grant, but to give
to his second administration the
heartiest and most cordial support,
until it shall have proven itself I'M
worthy of it."
After denouncing the South for
bringing on the late war, in the most
most bitter language, and the Demo-
cracy as still for rebellion, it follows,
just as naturally as effect follows
cause, that the Banner should come
out boldly for GRANT. AS if GRANT
had not already proven himself I'M
worthy of our support! Henceforth
let the Nashville Banner be known
Of ali men IS the Radical organ in
Tennessee. To it belongs the shame
Of having defeated the Democratic
party in Tennessee. Let the dirty
thing remain forever in the Radical
fold, ard then no one will be deceiv-
ed by its treachery.

The Tennessee immigration, La

makes the following liberal PROPOSE
ton to Maury and other counties,

will accept. We think a few hun.
bred dollars thus spent would be

trious immigrants coming annually
into our county, in ten years lis
wealth would be enhanced millions
of dollars. Maury possesses a soil
capable Of being cultivated with
profit like garden. All we lack is
labor. Let the world know the ma
ny advantages of our soil, climate
and social condition, and laborers
will come TO us. Fer further infOr-
nation in regard to The proposition

The chief of the educational bu-
reau of Franco has recommended or
ordered that the dead languages be
no longer taught in the public schools
ofthe Republic. There is certainly 8
great deal of humbuggcry in filing
every boys mind with Greek, and
cause him to lose half Of the best OF
his youth in noring over the rubbish
OF the dead past, which can but re-
motely benefit him. professional
men should possess knowledge OF
the dead languages, but it is folly TO
spend five hundred dollars in giving
every boy classical education; just
as il is to spend q thousand dollars
in giving music lessons to every girl,
no matter whether she have any tall
ent for music or not. Nine times
out of ten she will not know how to
play five years after her marriage.
And the worst of it is, the thum-
ming and drumming on the piano,
required in prac;icing, has taken up
SO much of her time, that she has
scarcely learned anything else. 1t is
a waste of money and of precious
time. Better learn her how to keep
house; how to furnish good dinner
for a family with a small sum T; how
to have comfortable home on small
capital, etc. Better teach boys 10

how TO improve farms, recuperate

fit themselves and the country.

riages.
This is q matter so delicate, and of
such high social and moral dignity,
that l approach any allusion to il
with much embarrassment. And
yet it is question that should and
must be met. 1t is question that
pertains to the social vitality of eve.
ry community; it entwipes itself
along with one of the chief safe
guards OF society, Parental Author
ity. and cannot be ignored. There
fore, will speak of it. But in do
ing 50, it pains me to allude, even
by Implication, to those who are
now living lovingly and happily to-
gether, and who owe this wealth of
happiness-.not TO due process of
parental sanction, but to what is gen.
orally termed "secret marriages"
They are safe, and are happy; and as
1 do moi propose an ex post facto
law, l an sure they will pardon their
good friend, for what he is now
about to propose and urge.
1 call the attention of our newly
elected State legislators to the most
serious consideration of the necessi-
ty Of enacting laws to prevent, in the
most complete manner possible, the
marriage of mere female children,
twelve years old, undeveloped in
mind, heart or body, and in opposi-
ton to their parents or guardians.
Tennessee requires such law; her
parents, her guardians, her teachers,
demand it, and it is the imperative
duty of the Legislature of our State
| to enact it.
1t is needless 10 recount the fea-
sons why infantile marriages should
have legal, as well as moral prohibi-
ton. The mere suggestion opens
out q mine of reasons in the heart
and head of every father, brother,
sister, relation and friend. Then, it
is to be hoped, now that a ces sstion
of political strife happily has been
reached, and reason can again re-
sumo her sway, that our lawmakers
soon to assemble at the capitol, will
look to.this, among other things, OF
public good.
This much in favor of parents,
guardians, and teachers. Do not the
soft beatings of the youthful maid
ems heart need sympathy and apollo
gy? Certainly. Youthful marri-
ages are caused, as often as other
wise, by the imprudence of parents,
or the unsympathetic conduct and
words of teachers. They should re-
member and appreciate the divine
truth that the normal condition and
requirement of the female heart is
love, love to man as well as love to
God. Whoever attempts to wiring
these heaven-given longings from
the glrlish bosom, commits an out
rage against Gods goodness; for
woman, "the last best gift to man,"
would be valueless without the
great attribute of love, which so ma.
ny teachers and parents utterly dis
regard. Parents should remem-
Der that they are simply authors of
the body, and not ofthe soul of their
child. The heart and soul are of
God. Love is of the soul; therefore
the law of affection and love is a
"higher law" than the parental law.
The duty of parent and teacher is to
watch and guard the child, but not
the woman. Therefore, let us assist
teachers and parents by passing a
law to prevent -.ildren from marry
ne secretly. MAURY.
