Public Schools.

There seems to be growing
sentiment throughout the State in
behalf of Public Schools. An
exchange says:
"TLe people demand an eff.
cient school system. They will
be satisfied with nothing else.
The tide of public opiaion Is rls-
ing. The sober second thought
OF the people, that, a few years
ago clamored tor the repeal of the
school law, now calls for some
thing to be done that will blot
out the disgrace which has fallen
upon the State in consequence of
the number of il iterates within
her burders. Something will be
done, for there is general up
rising of the people on the SUBJ
ject of Tree schools. Experience
Is a dear school and tennessee
has learned lesson that she will
not soon forget, from the ex-
perience of the past.
"The State will start on a
new career OF prosperity from the
day that the Legislature gives the
p -ople good, simple, practical
and comprehensive school sys-
tenn"

Sensible Words.

The following is from a finan-
cial article of the New York
Journal of Commerce:
people who sit nervously in
counting houses or behind their
goods, waiting for customers to
take them by storm, and ma
king no effort to let the world
know the bargains they have to
offer, will find the season very
unpropitious. Many of those
who have spent large sums in
hiring drummers and paying
for other well-known appli-
ances of trade have effected
large sales, but swallowed up
too large a share of the receipts
in such enormous attendant ex-
ipenses. The best remuneration
has been found by those who
have returned to the more legit-
innate, old-fashioned methods of
pushing their business. We
say it, not simply because we
are interested in this line of ex-
penditure, but as our best adj
vice to all who wish to be enter
prising, or to secure a large Gus
tom, there is nothing now so
effective to this end as judicious
advertising. We do not believe
that any man who has valuable
service or desirable property to
offer, can fail of rich harvest
by continuous advertising on a
large scale"

Louisiana.

The following extracts from
a private letter recently written
By one of the most distinguished
gentlemen of the South, will
give the reader some idea Of the
situation in Louisiana as viewed
by citizens Of that unfortunate
State:
mo language can convey a
distinct and complete idea of
the condition in which we are in
this State. / hardly know five
men out of hundred who are
not verging on bankruptcy.
Our courts Of justice are sinks
of corruption; our Governor is a
young mulatto who lately was a
barber on a steamboat. The
mojority Of our Legislature is
composed of ignorant planta-
ton negroes, who do not know
even how to read and write, and
the minority is made up of white
carpet-baggers, who are infn-
itely more despicable and more
mischievous than their black
associates. When witnessing
such a parody of republican
institutions, such an exhibition
of balloons aping the proceed
ings of a Legislative assembly,
such profane caricature of the
human race, one is tempted to
believe in the reality of the va
hoos of Swift. Such a farce, if
1T affords merriment to the
North, is death to U.S."

The Legislature.

This body though in session
every day, has thus far done but
little of a public character
The committees are at work,
however, and the result of their
deliberations will shortly, we
presume, make its appearance.
The Finance and School COM
mittees are, we understand, faith
fully occupied in the discussion
Of the important subjects re-
ferred to them for their action.
We are told that there is con-
siderable difference Of opinion
amongst Legislators upon the
question of funding the public
debt, as we'll as other details in
regard to finance. There also
seems to be some variety of ex-
preston in reference to the de-
tails of a School Law, though
upon its general features, there
is apparently much unanimity.
We earnestly hope that differ
ence Of opinion in regard to de-
tails will not be allowed to jeop-
ardizc the important measures
expected of this Legislature.

Bs S, c. Pomeroy, United
States Senator from Kansas, has
recently been detected in rascali-
ties and corruptions that will prob
ably conSign him to the peniten-
tiary. His guilt is SO palpable,
that his Radical brethren, brazen
as they are, cant deny it. Du-
ring the war this same Pomeroy
was in the habit of denouncing
Democrats as traitors, and he made
long and boisterous prayers in the
Northern Methodist conventicles
beseeching the Almighty to ami
hilate them from the face of the
earth. As between him and the
millions that he delighted to re-
vile, let the world decide. While
the Democratic party is growing
in public esteem, his name will 90

~ Senator Pomeroy, from
Kansas, was a candidate before
the Legislature of that State for
reelection. He practiced bri-
berry with an msparing hand
until he presented one member
with $1,000. The member ex-
posed the bribery in caucus, and
Pomeroy was beaten, not getting
a vote. He was Immediately
arrested, and viii be tried for
bribery, and ought to be sent to
the Penitentiary. Heis now suf-
fering from a sudden attack of
brain fever. Thus this old
psalm-singing, corrupt Radical
blatherskite has come to grief.
And from present indications, a
similar fate seems about descend
ing upon the unholy heads of a
large number of the Radical

~ A memorial has been adj
dressed to Congress asking for
the refmding to the people of
the South of the tax on raw cot
ton collected from them during
the four years Immediately sub
sequent to the war. The amount
of this tax aggregates nearly
$70,000,000. The funding move
ment was commenced nearly two
years ago. The grounds upon
which the movement is based are
indicated in the following para
graph from one of the documents
presented to Congress;
"Your memorialists honestly
believe, and we hazard nothing
in saying that the conviction
.pervades the entire people of the
cotton-growing States that the
law imposing a tax on raw cotton
was partial and unequal in its
operations, and violative of the
Constitution of the United
