Judge HOUk.

Friend WINS, of the Athens Post,
in his issue Of last week, repOrteth
thusly:
"Our old friend. Judge Houk,
spreads himself over a good deal OF
space in the Knoxville Chronicle of
Tuesday. Subject: Mainly, the
Assessment Law. With the excep-
ton of a little sprinkle of dema-
goguery about the poor mans poll,
the effort is in the Judges ablest
style. We have filed it away on the
top shelf, with other important pa
pers, for future reference.
"SOme wise people think Judge
Houl is training for the next guber-
material race. They are mistaken.
Hon. Horace Maynard, if he lives
and keeps his health, will be the
Republican candidate for Governor
of Tennessee in 1874. This may
be news even to many members of
that party, but our information is
direct and positive. 1t is not only
settled that he is to be the candi-
date, but, what is still more strange,
those most prominently connected
with the movement assume that he
will be elected. Judge Houk ex.
poets to 60 to Congress, and will be
a lively contestant for the next race
in the Second District He will find
right smart brush in his when the
time comes, but, as he possesses the
two great elements of popular sue
cess-cheek and gable may win.
We wish him well-as we do all our
friends who have the misfortune to
be on the wicked and more vicious
side Of politics.

Normal Instruction,

1t is stated that the Trustees o.
East Tennessee University are ma
king arrangements to establish 9
Normal Department.. This is emf
nently proper, provided men be put
in charge Of the Normal School who
are in sympathy with common schools
and the great mass of the people OF
Tennessee, and, provided further,
the means of living can be cheap
enough not to burden those who
wish to become teachers. The Uni
versity ought to be Normal School.
If the free tuition to the three stu
dents from each county would be
confined to those who will become
teachers, the institution would in
deed be great advantage.
We frankly confess that we have
never seen the point in making the
school military, and molding the
minds and hearts of so many young
men by the stern discipline of the
army. We need more heart culture.
We need teachers who are in deep
sympathy with the moral and reli-
gious sentiment of the State. We
would not cast any refutation upon
the Professors of the University,
for we believe they are generally re-
ligious men; but we do object in
these piping times of peace to all
the students who enter the Universe
ty becoming cadets. 1t would be
better for the country, if they were
trained to teach. We need men
who are willing to labor to bring up
the mass of children in our great
to the clear sunlight
of a liberal education.
Then we say, let us have the Nor
NAL Department; yea, rather, let the
University become a great Normal
School, from which annually hun
dreds of teachers will go out into
the valleys and plains of the State
and labor to instruct the thousands
Of children who are living in igno-
rance.

Fire al Jackson. tennessee.


A fire occurred at jackson on Mon
day. of last week, which destroyed,
among other buildings, the post
Office and the Office of the Wing and
Tribune. Total loss stated at from
$4,000 to 100000, with but little
insurance.
The Wig and Tribune lost heavi-
~, (s7,OoO.) by the jackson fire. I'M
dismayed, however. its publishers
issued an extra on the 21st. and
said:
I'm this conHeetion we desire to
state that, although the principal
sufferer by the destructive fire of
Saturday night, we feel undismayed
at our losses, and are consoled with
the thought that "our misfortune
may be blessing in disguise at
any rate, we have not stopped either
to cavil with fortune or to carp at
the way Of Providence.
''In less than one hour after we
knew of the fire, we bought out the
Plqindealer Office, and under the
old colors of the Wing and Tribune,
without a stripe erased or star OBJ
scured, we propose to minister to
the intellectual wants of our readers,
and to Issue to our patrons weekly a
live, healthy and progressive paper.
Not a single issue will be either lost
or delayed, every contract will be
faithfully carried out, and every just
obligation discharged to the utmost
farthing"

Boat Racing VS.. Horse Racing.

The papers come to us filed with
glowing descriptions of most ex-
citing boat race between clubs of
students from eleven New England
colleges, which came off last week,
on the Connecticut river. and was
witnessed by many thousands of
ladies and gentlemen from all parts
Of the land of steady habits. and on
the result Of which many thousands
of dollars were lost and won. Row
ing a boat is excellent exercise for
young gentlemen of sedentary
habits; and skill in it, an elegant as
well as useful accomplishment. But
how boat racing and betting on it is
any less demoralizing than horse
racing and betting on it, is what we
have not been able to perceive. If
the Professors of these eleven col
leges had attended a horse race, we
would not have heard the last of it
for months. Shall we not have col
lege boxing matches and prize rings
next? This is a progressive age.

community, informs us that out of

bers of st. Joseph's Total Abstinen-

that of q policeman, exposed to the
night air and malaria of the Sulphur
Springs district. The Senior Branch
of ST. Aloysius Society, composed of
young gentlemen between the ages
of IA and n years, numbering about
30 members, failed to hear Of a single
member being sick; while the Junior

The Railroads.

Mr.. Amasa Walker has come out
in favor of the purchase of all the
railroads of the country by the Gen
eral Government. He says this is
the only effective way to prevent
extortion, oppression, and other
abuses. The New York Evening
Post thinks such a step will open a
wide field for corruption, and that
the Tweeds and Pomeroys, and all
the crowd to lobbyists who believe
that the obligations assumed for Gov
eminent speculations are not debts,
and that every object that the ruling
rings can lay their hand upon is
legitimate political plumber, will be
its best friends.

Assessment of Taxes.

The total assessment for this
year shows q considerable increase
throughout the State over the assess
ment of last year. The increase is
especially noticeable in the cities and
towns. The collection ofthe taxes
for this year will commence October
l, but little of it will hardly reach the
State Treasury before the latter part
of December and January 1, 1874, at
which time Collectors will make their
quarterly returns. Settlements are
now being made for the quarter end
ing June so. but very little money is
derived therefrom, the collections for
1872 having been mostly completed.

The arrest of the woman who slew
Mr.. Goodrich in his own house in
Brooklyn, in March last, discloses a
fearful mystery, and breaches an
other lesson that men are slow to
learn. Mr. Goodrich had the repu-
tation of being a good man, and his
pastor delivered touching eulogy
at his funeral. 1t was then sup
posed he was murdered for money.
1t now appears that the woman who
slew him, alleges that he had deceiv-
ed her by a false marriage, then cast
her off, and in revenge she killed
him. The way of the transgressor
is hard. Bees your sin will find
YOU out.

There can be no sort of doubt that
the hired labor i'll the South, especial
ly in the agricultural districts-out
in the country-is very unreliable.
The successful farmers are those who
work themselves. But it cannot be
denied that hired labor is very
unreliable, uncertain and expensive.
And yet there is an unreasonable
prejudice against the introduction of
free labor from Europe and Asia.
A half million of Chinese would
make vast difference in the crop
profits of the rice, cotton, sugar and
other plantations. But, in the all
sence of these, the best defense
against uncertain hired labor is ma
tive white labor, making itself in
dependent, respectable and pros
porous. Work. work. work is the
only salvation for the South.

Money was tight in New York
last winter form October to May,
the price for call loans averaging 40
per cent. per annum during seven
months. It is now easy at four per
cent. per annum, and will likely re-
main so until there is demand from
the South to move the cotton crop,
when it is likely it will be even more
stringent than last winter.
