IMPORTANT DECISION.

When the delinquent railroads were sold
10y the State, an effort was made to have
the Chancery Court at Nashville, in which
the proceedings for sale were instituted,
incorporate in the decree of sale, a clause
saving to the railroad companies right of
action against defaulting officers for such
sums as they might be hereafter shown to
have misapplied. The. reserving clause
was not made as broad as it might have
been and eminent lawyers, differed as to it's
legal effect. Its Importance to the roads
was great. If the funds of the company
were stolen, Squandered or misused the
offending officer deserved punishment.
The interest of stockholders and of good
morals demanded it.
The Supreme Court yesterday decid-
ed in a case against an officer of
the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston road, charged.with Delinquent
cies that the right of the company to hold
him to account.for this did not pass from
it, by the sale made by the State. This is
an important point decided and worthy of
notice.

ADvICEs from Cheathamites in Cooke
county, representative Democrats as being
largely for the nominee. Leading Demo
cats there concede that the county will go
for Maynard by three. hundred votes, and
claim that Cheatham will votes ID
JohnsOn's one.
In Sullivan county, leading Democrats
have rolled up their sleeves and are going
in for Frank Cheatham. Cheatham's
friends claim that they will carry MAORI
ty Of the Democratic votes Of Hawkins
and Hamblen. They set up the
same claims for Monroe and
McMinn. 1t is very probable that their
calculations in some of these counties will
prove erroneous, and that on election day
Andy will loom up some thousands behind
Maynard.

WHILE johnson and Cheatham's friends
have made incendiary speeches to stir up
the worst passions of the war, Maynard
has talked good sense to the people and be-
yond doubt has made morescharacter in
the canvass than either of them. Through
the press and by word of mouth from
bitterest opponents in Middle and West
Tennessee we have heard the highest
praise of his calm, able and conciliatory
appeals to the people. His election would
be a credit to the State.

SAVING IN THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

During the session of the last Legisla-
ture the people heard great deal about
the "Public Printing" but, as discussion
Oh the subject has ceased, many persons
have been disposed to conclude that the
fraud complained of still continues. AL
though Senator Gibson's bill, to have all
the public printing let out to the lowest
bidder, failed to.becomea law, still through
his unceasing efforts, an act was finally
passed ito regulate, the public printing
and to prevent over-charging for compost
ton, tokens and paper" Under this act
many of the old 'printing frauds are pre-
vented, and thousands of dollars saved to
the tax payers.
But the matter to which we more par
ticularly desire to call attention is the
practical operation of Senator Gibson's
amendment to the law in reference to
publishing the Supreme Court reports. AT
the close of the last session he succeeded in
lacking on an amendment appointing the
Comptroller, Secretary of State, and Treas
urer, a board to let out the Supreme Court
reports to the lowest bidder Under this
law the board has recently let out the pub
LEGATION of these reports (4th HeiskelD to
Wheeler, Marshall & Bruce, at $40 per
volume When it is recollected that the
publication of these reports has heretofore
cost the State about $500 per volume, the
enormous profits heretofore made by the
Iublic Printers, becomes glaringly appa-
rent. If the Democratic Legislature had
passed the original bill as introduced, a
similar reduction could be made in all the
public printing, and at least ten thousand
dollars saved to the taxpayers annually.
As it is, the saving to the lawyers is very
considerable.
The Nashville papers (who do the pub
lie printing! have not ..deigned to notice
the contract made with Wheeler, Marshall
& Bruce, not being willing to let their
readers know to what extent they, the
public printers, have been overcharging
the burdened taxpayers. This great saw
ing is one of the results of Col. John BaX-
ter's ventilatlon--of the printing frauds;
and to him is due the credit Of discover
ing the fraud; and to Senator Gibson is
due the credit of devising the remedy.

THE advices from Middle and West
Tennessee seems to be favorable enough to
Cheathah, to decide several doubtful gen.
tlemen to go for Crank" who have been
waiting to see who was the strong man.
While the johnson and Cheatham men
are fighting each other bitterly, the friends
of Maynard are active and hopeful. Brown
low in 1867 polled 1000 Republican votes.
We see no reason why Maynard should
not now do better. His election is assured if
his friends will do their duty next week.

Gathering Ram district are more apparent
than ever, now that the canvass progress

port the debates or to communicate with

long delays. Why was such a district

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The following is
the additional article to the treaty of Wash
ingtOn, as agreed to by the Senate-yeas
43, nays lS
WHEREAS The government of her Brit
tanic majesty has commended, in recent cor
respondenee with the government Of the
United States, that such indirect claims as
those for national losses stated in the case
presented on the part of the government Of
the United States in regard to the tribunal
of arbitration at Geneva--that the loss sus-
tanned in the transfer of the American COM
merce and marine to the British flag, the
enhanced payments of insurance, the
proIongation of the war, and the addition of
a large sum to the cost of the war and the
suppression of the rebellion, firstly were
not included in the treaty of Washing
ton, and furtherly and secondly, should not
be admitted in principle as growing out Of
the acts committed by the particular YES
sells alleged TO have been enabled to COM
init depredatiOns on the shipping Of a bel
licerent by reason of such want of due dill
gence in the performance of her neutral OBJ
legations as that which is imputed by the
United States TO Great Britain; whereas,
both governments adopt for the future the
principle that claims for remote or indirect
losses should not be admitted as a result of
failure TO observe neutral obligation, so far
as to declare that it will hereafter guide
the conduct of both governments in their
relations with each other; now, therefore,
in consideration thereof, the President of
the United States, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate thereof, consents
that he viii make no claims on the part OF
the United States in respect of indirect
losses as aforesaid before the tribunal OF
arbitration at Geneva.

The Laharpe Street ISchOol, OF which
Miss S. A. Smith is principal, gave an ex
hibition in the Roman Street Baptist
church last Wednesday, commencing at 10
Am. The building was tastefully decor
ated. just above the platform waga large
harp made Of evergreens, over which, IN
circular form, were the words, welcome
to Laharpep To the right Of the platform,
in large letters, were the names, Conway
-BoOthby; while on the left was the
motto, Excelsior The pulpit was orna-
mepted with flowers The house was
crowded, many parents of the scholars who
participated being present. The exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev. J. c.
HartzeH. After singing by the school,
Master B. Aguillard' delivered the salu-
tatary.
Then followed the following exercises in
terspersed with music: Dialogue, The
Childs Inquiry;" f'The Little Girls Good
Morning. by A. Devellier; Lawsuit of the
Cats Before the Monkey" by P. Antoine;
dialogue, 1.-THE Wonderful Scholar" "The
Fox and the Cheese" by Laura Trevigne;

lOgue. ''Children's Wishes" "The Cottage

Rhine" by H. Whalen; I'm Never Use
Tobacco, - @The Would-be School Teacher"
"Kind Invitation by George Mitchell;
"The Bevy Of the Eyes," ValedictOry.
The music was good. Several pieces were
very creditably performed, The charade
deserves special mention. Two of the
scenes we're capital. One represented a
visit Of "Mr Carter, as division superinten-
dent. Another represented meeting of
the school board, where, after many at
tempts Captain c. w. BootAby" succeeded
in getting the floor. He then proceeded to
give a history of the Lahsrpe School, and
closed with an eloquent appeal IN its
behalf
The entertainment reflected great credit
upon the accomplished principal, and her
able corps Of assistants. Miss Smith re-
marked, THAT great praise is due the
teachers for the self-denying spirit mani
tested during the term, remaining night
after night, after school, to train the chill
dren and teach them to sing"
Altogether, Laharpe Street School Ia an
honor to the ward, and of which Captain
Boothby is director. At the conclusion of
the exercises addresses were made by Major
j. g. Badenhausen and others.
The following are the names Of the teach
ers: Miss S. A. Smith, principal; Miss
A. FAR, first assistant; Miss A. Meyers,
second assistant, and Misses R. Fortune, c. 1
