Central University.

Many inquiries are being made as to the
modus operandi of the corporation that
shall control said University if established
at Knoxville. We understand the policy
of the NJ. Z. Church to be the establish
ment of this institution for the Anglo
Saxon race. The Church has already three
colleges established for the African race
one in Nashville, one in Atlanta, and one
in Charleston, S. G.. And we speak what
we know when we say the proposed Cen
trail University for the South is not intend
for mixed school.
We make this statement, Mr.. Editor,
not to enlighten the minds of the friends
of this institution Int to brush away the
dust that few of the "wool gathering
enemies of the movement are trying to
throw in our eyes. Any person doubling
this statement, we refer them to Rev. j. +.
Spence, chairman of the Locating Com
mittee, who can give them satisfactory
information.
We hope the proposition of our Board
of Trade will heartily be responded to by
all our business men.
The future success of Knoxville depends
largely upon the wise and liberal move
ments of the present. The next five years
will tell the story for Knoxville-a grand
and controlling city or dwarfed and FIN
| ished yillage.n
We have the elements of success within
our reach, shall we neglect or fail to use
| the appliances. Let the success of our city
be the focus that shall center every mans
| effort-the burning house that shall de-
stroy every prejudice and discord. The
| true "hobby" on which every business
man shall ride to wealth and honor.
| PROGRESS.

Death of John Duncan Swan.

For several weeks past, the friends and
acquaintance of our fellow citizen, Mr..
John Duncan Swan, have been aware that
his health had so far failed as to leave no
hope for recovery. His death occurred
yesterday afternoon at the residence of his
mother No. l39 Cedar street. The deceas-
ed was in the forty-third year of his age, a
native OF Knoxville, Tennessee, son of the
and family removed to Nashville in 1852.
He was an intelligent and affable gentle
man, earnestly attached to his friends, and
decided in his opinion as TO matters OF
public and political concern. His re-
mains will be inferred at Knoxville
Union nndAmCricua.

The Russian Surprise.

The new railway and telegraphic chart
Of the Russian Empire, just published,
seems to have taken the German general
staff by surprise. Russia is shown by this
chart to possess railways and telegraph
lines actually in operation, of which the
world outside had not the slightest notice
OF even suspicion. There is a complete
system Of strategical railways, radiating
from the principal lines uniting in ST. Pc
tersburg, Moscow and Kief, and extend
ing even TO abe Asiatic frontier in no less
thsn ten lines. All the military centers,
even Nova Tcherhask the headquarters OF
the Don COssacks, are accessible by rail ;
and in a short time, if not at this moment,
Russia can move large bodies of troops and
concentrate them within a few days at
any desired spot. In view of these facts
the German journals urged their Govern
ment to hasten forward the construction OF
railways on their own eastern frontier,
which they will need for their own safely
in case Of war.

ANYTHING to Hit Grant.

The Hartford Post thus refers to COM
ments OF a portion of the Democratic press
on the message of President Grant:
The New York World aud other Demo
cratic guardians of revealed truth are sneer-
ing at President Grants expression of be-
lief that "Our Great Maker is preparing the
world in His own good time to become
one nation, speaking one language, and
when armies and navies will no longer be
required Counting it their mission to
abuse some oppressed race all the time,
they insist that the picture of the General
Judgment in the book of Revelation, as
including all nations, and both bond and
free, shuts out the possibility that there
shall ever be time of universal brother
hood and peace on earth and they par
ticularly scout the idea of one language for
all. But President Grant Is on the side OF
inspired prophecy in his prediction, for the
declarations stand "And it shall come to
pass in the last days that the mountain of
the Lords house shall be established on the
tops Of the mountains, and shall be eXalt-
ed above the hills and all nations shall
flow unto it for out of Zion shall 20 forth
the law, and the word of the Lord from
jerusalem "For then will turn to the
people pure language, that they may al
call upon the name OF the Lord, to serve
him with one CONSENT Nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any mOre.n But even Bible
truth must be denied when quoted by {

The advantages to the city arising from
this are perhaps measured by dollars and

Which multiplied by $50, the whole num-

cal education alone. The influence of the
presence of these students is not to be
overlooked either, for many of them are
not only visited by friends and relatives
who expend money here and establish
business correspondence with the commu-
nifty, but they act as agents for various
business interests identical with their own
