APOLOGIES.

The Knoxville Chronicle says 'there
are very few newspapers that try to
apologize for the outrageous district
mapped out to beat Maynard" We
see no necessity for anything apollo
getic about it. There has never been
any apology necessary for sending
Belzebub to hell. Jno. Brown to the
gallows.. for turning Brownlow over to
Beck, nor leaving the nemesis of pub
lie execratiOn to overtake and deal
with Holden, Read, Bullock, or May
nard. lie who sows the wind reaps
whirlwind untempered by apologies,
The radicals who set Tennessee on
fire object to smoke Just because the
wind has changed. Take comfort in
YOUR Ku Klux bills, in Kinks black
guard, and in Brownlow's colored
militia. Take the annulled registra-
ton of nine counties at one time, as
a slight apology. Take martial law
in time Of peace as an apology.
Take the enfranchisement of slave
and the Acknowledgement of master as
an apology. Take the school fund
returned by Gov. Harris as an apollo
gy. Take The iron yoke now on the
neck OF South Carolina as an apology.
Take the swollen Indebtedness of the
cotton States; take the present as
pect of general amnesty; take Gus
tom house frauds the French arms,
lob and smoke them for season and
if more be needed they can be fur
nished to order.

what if some person had come in and
found you sitting here, and Joe Mason
dead IN the house, you would have
been in "hell of fix,n that after get
ting what goods they wanted they
came out, George said there is good
saddle will need it to night" that
he intended stealing horse from Mrs.
Brown, or Neal Harden, and ride all
night tying in the woods in day light
until he got to the Lodge in Jcfer-
son County," After she had got home
George tapped on her window telling
her to give him drink of water, she
told him to go round to the tub and
get him a drink, he then told her that
he was going away and stay until
every thing blowed over" for her to
keep her lips sealed'' and not to dis
turb the goods, (he having buried them
in her lot that when he came back
they would take them up and divide
them, she says she did not see George
after this-upOn being questioned
about the Lodge" above referred to;
she says George called it the "black
lodge" she knows nothing about it; she
most positively declares that Joe Car
ter, knew nothing of the murder. Mr..
Kerbaugh, who was robbed last sum-
mer, visited her cell this week, she
talked very freely to him telling him
where his property was as far as she
could remember. The unfortunate
woman seems to realize her awful con-
ditiOn having little or no hope of "the
life that now is, or that which is to
come" Rev. Mr.. Holtsinger, by re-
quest visited her in her cell. 1.-THE
way of the transgression is indeed
hard. "-GreencUiIe Sentinel.

1he Land Scrip-The Question
Finally Disposed OF.

The House of Delegates yesterday
adopted the bill, as it passed the Sen
ate, appropriating the Congressional
land scrip -one-third to the Hampton
Normal School and two-thirds to the
Preston and Olin Institute. The last
named school which, after long con-
test, is the recipient of this bounty,
amounting to q yearly stipend ofnear-
" twenty thousand dollars. is situated
at Blacksburg, in the county of Mont
gomery. 1t was incorporated under
the guardianship of the Baltimore
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church i'm 1854; was maintained and
kept in tiourishing condition until
the breaking out of the war. After
peace was restored, its financial condi-
ton, like most of the other instita-
tiOns of the State, was much embar-
raised, and for several years it re-
manned closed. The building was fl
nally sold under degree of the Circuit
court of Montgomery, and purchased
by private citizens in that county, by
whose energy and liberality il is again
opened, and is now in successful Oper-
alton, with corps of professors and
about one hundred students. The
buildings are of,brick, and AS we are in
formed, arc ample for the accommoda-
ton of one hundred and fifty students.
By the conditions of the bill which
has passed the General Assembly,
Montgomery county is required to
vote twenty thousand dollars for AN in
crease of the buildings. The name of
the school is to be changed to the Virl
ginia Agricultural and Mechanical
College, and as many students are TO
be admitted without charge for tuition,
use of public rooms or laboratories, as
there are members of the House of Del
egates, To be apportioned among the
counties in the same manner.
Blacksburg is some seven miles
from the Christiansburg depot, on the
Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio road and
in close proximity to the richest coal
mines in Southwestern Virginia. In
no portion of the State are the nee
essaries Of life more abundant or cheap
err.
Hampton Normal and Agricultural
Institute is located at Hampton, and
was built, we believe, by the Freed
mems Bureau, and endowed by
number of northern philanthrophists.
1t has been in successful operation for
three years past, and is considered one
of the very best colored high schools
in the United States. 1t gets one
third of the fund. -RichmoRd En-

Noble Language Of the ResoIu
liens,
Meeting of iise Democratic Mem
berS of the Legislature.
NASHVILLE, March .,


The Democratic State Executive
! Committee met at the Capitol to-day.
There was full attendance of the
members from each Division of the
State and the greatest harmony pre-
vailed.
After full and free discussion, the
following preamable and resolutions
were adopted:
Believing that the time has come
when the welfare, not only of the
State, but the nation, demand that the
Democracy of Tennessee should take
counsel together and prepare for har-
monious action and an Intelligent and
patriotic discharge Of their duty in the
approaching contests, both State and
National, the Democratic Executive
State Committee of Tennessee do
therefore resolve
1st That Democratic State Con-
ventiOn is hereby called, to assemble
at the Capitol, in Nashville, on Thurs
day, 9th day of May, next, to nomi-
nate candidate for Governor and to
take such steps in view of the APP
preaching State and Presidential cleo
tons, as the condition of the country
and the circumstances then existing
may suggest and that, to this end, we
urge upon the people in the different
counties, to assemble at as early a time
as practicable, IN primary meetings
and select suitable delegates to repre-
sent them in said Convention.
I'd. That recognizing the fact that
the people of Tennessee have a COM
mon interest in resisting the encroach-
mentS of Capitalization and preserving
republican government, as well as in
correcting the corruptions and abuses
which have become so wide spread
and alarming, and believing that upon
these great questions there is but lit
tie or no material diversity of opinion
among them, we invite the cO-opera-
ton of all conservative patriots by
whatever party name they may have
heretofore been called.
In accordance with the foregoing
resolutions a convention of the Demo-
cratic party of Tennessee is called to
meet at the Capitol in Nashville, at
II H., huisday, 9th of May. 1872.
BY order of the Executive COM
mittee.
DORSEY B. THOMAS, Chairman.
F. G. DUNNINGToN, Secretary.
A public meeting of the Democratic
members OF the Legislature last night,
adopted resolutions affirming the
necessity of maintaining the Demo-
cratic organization in the State and ex-
pressing the duty and desire of the
Democracy to cooperate with the OPP
position to the Radical administra-
ton, in the Presidential election, and
that this can best be done by a rigid
adherence to party organization. The
meeting also unanimously endorsed
Governor Brown and declared in favor
of his reelection next fall.

We have nothing definite regarding
the action Of Louisville in reference
70 the overtures made by the a. NJ.
30. Il. r. Co. That city has refused
10 cxteud aid to the Elizabethton and
Paducah K. r., and that refusal is
quite favorable to the result of the
pending application for aid to the L.
i n. Company for the purpose of ma
king the Cumberland Gap connection.
Certain it is that the city of Louis.
vile was not likely to grant the aid
asked for by both parties. and as
the Paducah road has been refused,
it is all the more likely that the move
ment to meet Gen. Malone at the
Gap viii be made. In the mean
tine Gen. Malone does not intend to
hold lis westward movements from
Bristol, at all dependent upon the ac-
ton of Louisville. II Louisville re
fuse he viii seei, Nashville and thence
connect with Memphis, and in this
case will have the great west the
cheapest and most direct line on the
continent. The prospects of the line
westward from Bristol are urimpaired,
and there are no indications unfavora-
bic to the desired meeting of Va.
& Kentucky at Cumberland Gap.
Gen. Malone has not made the
slightest change of schedule, and we
believe contempiates none and deems
that none will be rendered necessary.

TENDER AND TRUE.

lie stole from its nest in my golden hair
A knot Of riband blue
He placed on my hand jewel rare,
and whispered soft. as he held it there
Tender and true-adieu, adiue!
The almond was bending with blossoms white,
The roses blushed through the dew;
The violet smiled in the glowing light,
And life was happy, and hope was bright,
Tender and true-adieu, adieu!
They brought my soldier home TO me.
And my knot Of riband blue;
But the cruel wound on the brow was hid
By the flag dropped over the coffin lid.
Tender and true-adieu, adieu!
The almond flowers in the breezes shake,
The roses still blush through the dew,
But the spring time of hope will never awake
And the lone, lone heart wall till it break.
Tender and true-adieu, adicu!

Gen. Humphrey Marshall of Ken
lucky died in Louisville on Friday of
last week. He was aged sixty years.
The military career of Gen. Marshall
in this county will not soon be for
gotten by the readers of the Ne,rS,
for Notwithstanding his great abilities
as an orator, lawyer and politician,
he was little less than a huge satire
upon military matters.

mend the Courier Journal.
Col. Boyers, of the Gallatin Exami-
ner, copies the above, and gives the
following reasons for so doing:
We do so because the Courier-Jour-
nal deserves the notice, while it so well
expresses our own opinion of that pa
per. We regard it, altogether, the
most complete newspaper In the coun-
try; for every department is managed
with consummate thoroughness and
ability. And we make no exception
in favor OF the great Northern dailies,
for critical examination will show
that, with inferior facilities for the col
lection of news, and located in q tenth
rate city in point of population, it is
more completely map of " this busy
world and its vast concerns than any
other journal on the continent. We
will risk our printers's judgment upon
this assertion. And we may add that
in literary ability its editorial articles
are always scholarly and elegant in
style.
So it will be seen that we are not
alone in the opinion expressed last
week that the COurier-JOurnal is " the
best newspaper i'll America" Speci-
mems may be seen at this office.

1t will be seen that the Tennessee
Legislature refuse TO admit that the
boundary line between Tennessee and
Virginia is subject for settlement.
We presume the matter will yet 60 to
the Supreme Court and the sooner
the matter is definitely decided the
better it must be for all concerned.
