TfiOS TAX SALES.
Erroneous Statement Nailed
to the Wall.

We republish the following article rs we
did not receive the Sentinel last week
until a large portion of our edition was
worked of. and we were unable to notice
it in all our issue.
The Greeneville Sentinel of last week
contains an editorial article rejecting
upon the Revenue Collector and Circuit
Court Clerk of this county, which does
those officials great injustice. In this
article the Sentinel charges that the Rev.
enue Collector in reporting land to be
condemned and sold for arrears of taxes
reported the taxes for each year separate
and that the Clerk contrary to the usual
custom, advertised it in the same manner,
thus increasing the cost, and onerating
the tax payer in some instances with three
or four times as much cost as he would
have had to pay if the land had been
advertised and sold in the usual manner.
The facts of the case are as follows.
The Revenue Collector did report the land
in the usual manner, putting the amount due
for several years in one order and only charg
ing one fee and the Clerk was proceeding
to enter them in that way when the Court
ordered that a separate judgment should
be entered for each year and that the land
should be advertised and sold accordingly.
This order vas given in the presence of
Col. Jas. G. Deaderick. who at the request
of the clerk attempted to argus the case

Education for the People.

There is one remark, however. that
will make, which has reference more t,
the effects of ignorance and learning upor
each other, than to the Importance of ed
u~cation or the evil effects of ignorance
They act upon each other and each i
damaged by the other.
In a State or government, where there
is a large proportion of ignorant persons
those ignorant persons do nearly all the
manual labor, and the educated and the
half educated men and women, conclude
very naturally, that the divine command
''by the sweat of thy brow, thou shall earn
thy bread" was intended only for the ig
norant.
The result Of this is that the professions
are crowded with men who ought to be
producers instead of consumers-men
hunting a precarious existence by their
intellect and dependent for success on the
necessities, misfortunes and ignorance OF
their fellow man. Young men of intel
ligeuce instead of engaging in productive
pursuits, marrying and elevating and i'm
proving the social circles in which they
move, spend their income like the prodigal
son, IN riotous living, because it will not
maintain a wife in Incidence and pay the
wages of hired servants.
The inclination to shun manual labor
is natural. but the inclination is strength
ened by the fact that the greater part of
it is performed by the poorer and more
ignorant classes and labor in itself hon.
orable is thereby degraded. Even the
prosperous farmer is often guilty of incnl-
eating or permitting the idea that his
children are reared and educated for the
bench, the bar, the forum or the pulpit.
and that his successor need know only
when the seasons return in their course,
and when the harvest will be ripe for the
sickle.
Such false notions as these are engen-
dered by the contact of the intelligent
with the absolutely ignorant.
The poor and ignorant sees that his
more educated employer or neighbor lives
in ease if not luxury, without the drudgery
which he undergoes, and he desires to be-
come educated, not for itself. but in order
that he may avoid labor-on the other
hand the educated classes observe that all
the hewers of wood and drawers of water
arc not only poor, but oftentimes ignor-
ant and wretched. and it avoids labor as
far as possible,a as the high road to penury,
if not to temptation and crime.
Crime is the child of ignorance, not of
necessity. The thief and burglar are
seldom impelled by sense of hunger or
nakcdness. In the productive and genial
climate of Tennessee the number of
wholly uneducated white convicts in the
State prison, exceeds the number of ed
ucated by twenty-nine, and that too, not
withstanding the illiterates over ten years
of age are not only one-ffth of the educa-
ted, or these who can read and write.

with the Judge and if possible save the
tax payers this extra cost, but the Judge
informed him that. such was the law and
that the entries could not be made other
wise. That this statement is correct the
following Certificate will show.
JoNESBoRo', TENN.,}
May 30. 1S72.}
This is to certify that during the last
term of the Circuit Court. at this place,
my attention was called by &. Wheeler,
the Clerk, to the am i'm which the
Court had ordered h judgments of con-
demnation of lands reported for arrears
of taxes to be entered, making a separate
Judgment for each year. And at the re-
q uest of the Clerk, L went to Judge Gil
lenwaters and attempted to argue the
question with him, but he peremptorially
ordered a h entries be made as above
designated. / have examined all the pro-
ceedings in connection with the sale of
lands for arrears of faxes and am salts
fled that the Clerk has only complied with
the order of the Court in every particular.
Aud upon reflection | am further satisfied
that the Court was correct and that every
thing has been done according to law, at
all events no blame can possibly attach
to either the Clerk or Revenue Collector.
JAS. q. DEADERICK,
Atty, at Law.
This shows conclusively that the clerk,
although controlling a newspaper in which
he could advertise, which, together with
his fees, as clerk gave him three dollars
additional in each case, was willing to
sacrifice this in order to relieve the tax
payer Of this additional cost.
With this plain statement of facts we
rest the case for the present, believing as
we do that the Sentinel will not hesitate
to correct the false impression it has per-
haps unintentionally created and place
the responsibility of this additional cost
where it properly belongs.

EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
On the 3Oth inst, a man, by the name
of Charles W. Miller, while passing
through the upper end of this County,
| stole several articles from the citizens
along his route and as good luck would
have it. was pursued and captured a few
miles this side of johnson City, with the
articles in his possession but before sur
rendering the parties who pursued him
was forced to the necessity of administer
ing unto him the contents of a shot gun
which had a most salutatory effect in
bringing him to a halt. He was brought
to this place yesterday, a preliminary in
vestigation had, and committed to Jail,
where he will be most likely to remain
until transferred to Nashville. He says
that he has been to North Carolina pros
p~ecting for minerals, and that his home is
Haggerstown, Maryland, he is about so
years of age, four. feet six inches high,
complexion dark; and general exterior
that of a thief. -
The political excitement among our
people grows higher daily. All other
questions of a political character are ig
nored except the Congressional election
The communication from Russollville
which appeared in your last issue, endors-
ing Judge Gillenwaters, for Congress. has
induced the thinking part of our commu-
nifty to consider his claims upon the party
and his fitness for the position. Fawning
sycophants, and interested demagogue,
may form themselves iato cliques and
blow loud for this candidate and that
candidate, but I tell you now hat the
genuine element, of the party has no pets
or choice in the premises. but viii act as
they have already acted-support the
regular nominee of our party. and this
County will send to the Congressional
Convention delegates selected from the
people. and if the other Counties compos-
ing the district will do the same, and act
in harmony with each other, we can select
a standard bearer that viii insure a glo-
rious triumph in November next. We
have but one battle ground in this State,
and If we will ignore c.iques and come up
as a whole people we Will be successful
Otherwise We loose all.

EDITORS HERALD I'M TRIBUNE:
Allow me through the columns of youl
most excellent paper to say a few word.
in regard to the Institute that has beer
mentioned in your paper. W. heartily
agree with the gentleman who have writ
ten upon this subject. The teachers Of
Washington county ought to have an In.
stitutc in order that they might adopt a
more practical method of teaching through
out the county; and understand each
other, whereby the children might be
the recipients of better teaching by the
most salutary and improved systems of
instruction. L feel confident that a teach.
er's Institute would do much toifacilitate
the progress of education in this county,
insomuch that the teachers themselves,
would be greatly astonished at the result
of the experiment. Under the present
peculiar disadvantage of teaching, we need
never expect any great advancement in
our literary career. For there is at least
one-third of the teachers time devoted to
the clearing up, the gross kerrors Of
those who have preceded. Much time
is spent in trying to infuse into the
minds of the scholars, the proper mode of
instruction. So it does not only trouble
tho pupil to know which of his preceptersI
has taught him Alright, but it involves al
loss of one-third of the time that the pa
have set apart for their children's|
education. Every teacher must have the|
best books. Every teacher thinks that
his catalogue contains the best books
And the result of this is, that there isl
an unnecessary expense put upon parents
of children. In consequence of there|
being so many different kinds of books inI
the country, the teachers meet with great
embarrasments in classifying the pupils.
Now 1 argue, that if the teacbersE
of this county would meet and ORGANIZED
Institute, and hold consultations With
each other, as to the best mode of teach!
ing and best books for instruction, wei
would obviate the foregoing difficulties.

Fearful SIaughter2o of the Innocents,
THE IRREPRESSIBLE FINE ON

The Wand OF thc Clique. Fro.
ken at Last

The caucus machinery of the Demo
cratic party was we'll oiled for last Mon
day. The skillful drivers were on hand
ready for the branching, crushing blood,
business. The countenances of the in
Vulnerable candidates over which wa
spread the ghostly pallor of dismay ant
anxiety, excited our fearful and profound
sympathies, on leaving their peaceful ant
happy homes on the morning of the fata
day they had forgotten to embrace theil
affectionate help meats and to imprint the
kiss of a fathers love upon the sunny
brows of their innocent prattlers. But
they must brave that terrible engine Of
death. They must die, all save one, fol-
the good of the party. Hemmed in will
the bayonets of party discipline and des
potism there is no avenue of escape. All
that can be done, in this trying ju~ncture,
is a patriotic recline upon that sweet con-
ISOLATION. at is noble to die in q good
cause.
When spring Sith dcwy fingers cold,
Returns to deck our hallowed mold,
She there shall dress Il Sweetcr sod,
Than tancy's feet have eve trod.
But all these heart-touching scenes and
incidents moved not the remorseless ex-
e%cutioners. In goes the fuel, round goes
the needle, stronger and stronger the
pressure, until the fiery engine of destruc-
ton blows, snorts and Kisses like some
huge monster from the workshops Belize
bub. Now the time for the BLOODY
action. A dozen candidates, moro or less,
for Trustee and RcTenue Collector were
thrown amid the complicated maze of fly
ing wheels. First o leather-lunged yell
of excruciating pain, then q low-toned
scream of agony and lastly a smothered
whisper of death, when suddenly comes
forth a sickening pulp of blood, bone,
muscle and flesh but strange to say Mr..
Samuel Crookshanks and Mr.. w. r.
Rhea came forth unscathed amid the
bruised and mangled mass.
We have no intelligent theory as to the
escape of Mr.. Crookshanks, but have
every reason to believe flat it was the
loss of a limb that saved Mr. Rhea from
the terrible e1perimcntxm crasis.
Just as this sanguinary immolation was
completed and the grinding wheels were
spinning at the rate of ten million revolu-
tions to the second for another gorge of
humanity, the irrepressible and courage
