For the Chronicle
LETTER FROM ASHLAND CITY.

MEssRs. EDITORS: At the February
term of the County Court of this
county the Sheriff was ordered to sub
NIT to the voters of the county, on the
first Saturday in March, the question
whether they would vote tax on them
selves of forty cents on the hundred
dollars of all taxable property in the
county, for the purpose of raising a
fund for common school purposes
Accordingly, last Saturday, the people
voted thereon, and the result is that
the proposition is successful. IF the
present Legislature does not change
the law, We may expect the Inaugural
ton of system of common school ed
ucation that will ultimate in great
good. 1t is to be hoped that this may
be the beginning of better days. If
the people themselves see proper to tax
themselves, who shall say them nay.
If the Legislature does nothing more,
the poll tax ought to be increased so
as to make the tax little more uni
form. And then if the County Court
will tax every worthless eur, and eve
ry other dog except one in the hands
of the heads of families. there will be
greater revenue for school purposes,
or fewer raids on sheepfolds at night,
and consequently material addition
to the productive industry of the
county, by an increase of the annual
clip of wool.
Disguise the fact as we may, good
system of public instruction is the
sine qua ron to build up any country.
We may talk of our genial cline, pro-
duetive soil. beautiful streams, unsur-
passed water power, inexhaustible
mines of iron, copper, and coal, un-
subdued forests of building and other
timber, and the hospitality of our cit
liens, but until We offer the mind that
pabulum upon which it feeds and
grows, and raises man second only in the
order of creation to his Maker in point
Of intelligence. which can alone be
found in o we'll regulated system of
public instruction, in vain may we ex-
tend invitations to immigration, so
long as they can find this great adyan-
tage in other and more favored locali-
ties. 1t is to be hoped that ere long
Tennessee will change nnef relative po-
sition in point of general intelligence,
and instead of being the thirdin point
of ignorance, may she become at least
third in point of intelligence.

LEGISLATION.

Ii frets rs to hear men grumbling
about defective laws and unwise con-
stitutional provisions. Under despot-
ic governments such complaints would
be legitimate and are, as regards the
vile laws enacted by despotic federal
government; but in Tennessee they
are ont of place because the people
are yet free to choose their own
representatives, and if they select fools
or knaves to make laws, they must ex-
poet foolish or knavish enactments
and their own guilty eOnsciences ought
TO shame them into silence. As gen.
eral rule, those who rail loudest
against unwise legislation were active
partizans of some incompetent candl-
date whose vote may have defeated the
enactment of more wholesome laws.
The truth is that the people give them
selves every little concern about mat
tiers of highest interest to themselves
and are too generally Indifferent to the
qualifications of those for whom they
vote, and as long as they act upon tie
idea, " that what is everybodys bust
ness. is nObody's business" they will
find their laws and constitutions defec-
tive. the State in debt, commerce and
agriculture languishing and themselves
sinking lower and lower in the scale
of prosperity, intel!igence-in short,
in capacity for self-government. Whilst
we have no word of apology for the
stupidity of legislators none but the
voters of the State arc responsible for
their blunders.
Instead, then, of clamoring for con-
stitutional convention, the people would
do well to consider whether the present
Constitution does not allow ample
scope for wise legislation, and whether
itwould not be wise to save the heavy
expense ofsuch Convention. Wheth-
cr it would be safe, in view of the last
election. to rely upon the deliberations
of bedy composed, as that would be
in great part, of an element hostile to
liberty and to the material welfare of
every southern State. The spirit of
rule or ruin-the demon Of discord in
vaded the State last year and not a
few Conservatives and Democrats, be-
guiled by its Syren tongue, fell from
grace. deserted their standard and sent
to the legislature much of that mate
rial so unavailable for good to the
State. Would it be different in a
Conyention2 Let us not risk it just
now, nor until Decentralization has
given place to some settled policy and
the people are inspired with a fixed
purpose to make principles their guide
instead of following, like sheep, the
lead of arch demagogues.

LOUISIANA is quiet, but it is the
quiet of the gagged and fettered
victim of the grossest tyranny the
world has witnessed in any Christian
country, since the days of the Spanish
Inquisition. Kellogg, vile usurper,
but dear to Grant and his horde of
banditti through sympathy and linden
tity of purpose, is sustained by Con-
gressional endorsement and the policy
of President paving his way to an
Imperial throne. Under this corrupt
combination, liberty and justice are
crushed, and deprived of their rights
and bayoneted into submission, it is
boastingly proclaimed that the PEG
pie are quiet. But, believing that the
deeds of the wicked will recoil upon
their own heads and that however
slowly retributive justice will surely
avenge the wrongs they have done, we
are forced to await with what patience
we may, the coming day of signal re-
tribution. Not Louisiana alone, but
every State in the Union, and every
man in each State is insulted by such
tyranny and prospectively enslaved by
the successful raid upon the rights OF
Louisiana and the rapid breaking
down of every barrier erected by the
Constitution for the protection of the
rights and liberties of the people.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The House
Committee on Appropriations this
morning considered the Senate amend
ments to the post-office appropriation
bill, and agreed to non-concur in the
amendment forbidding the transmits

same effects exchanges among news
papers.
If in the bill as passed, the exeep-
ton, indicated in the foregoing dis.
patch, is embodied, the Press will be
spared grevious wrong, intended by
the Senate more in a spirit of wanton
mischief than of enlightened public
spirit.

RADICAL MISTAKE.

RADlCAL MtSlAhE.
1t is singular that those Radicals
who are poisoned by their malignity
towards the South, should lose
sight of the fact that, after reading the
damning evidences of that party's
gross and almost universal corruption,
all Christendom will be tempted to
exclaim that the South was justifable
in the effort to dissolve its connection
with a people SO wholly unrestrained
by law, or constitution, justice or hon.
or. When impartial history shall re-
cord the conduct of the war and es-
pecially, the doings of the Radicals,
for years subsequent to it. the verdict
of mankind will be in full accord with
the opinionjust expressed. Ingenuity
and falsehood have been taxed to their
utmost capacity, to fix upon the South
the objectionable guiltof having tried
to overthrow the best government
the world ever saw" but all that inge-
nuity will recoil, with terrible force,
upon people who have, themselves,
overthrow the government. converted
it into den of thieves and made Off
cial station the reward of the grossest
corruption.
Look at the southern States over
whelmed with debt by the thieving
satraps commissioned by this pure
government, to rob and Cypress under
the sanction of the bayonet. Look at
Louisiana, eight years after the war,
shedding its blood for self-preserva-
ton against the usuned power of a
President who had no higher motive
for the exercise of lawless tyranny
than to sustain thexillainy of broth
er-in-law, commissioned without re-
gard to his unftness for Office and up
held in defiance of justice. Can it be
thatimpartial history of the misdeeds of
the Radical party will have any other
effect upon the honest Judgment of
mankind, than to force a verdict in ia
vor of the South and its g lost causes?"
As the tyranny of England justified, to
the world, the Revolution of 76, so
the tyranny of the North will justify
the attempted secession of the South
and every day is accumulating evil
dence to confirm that conviction in the
minds of after generations.
1t may be said, in reply, that this
wholesale corruption was one OF the
developments of the war and not an
innate principle of Radical nature.
This may satisfy green simplicity, but
the transition from uprightness of
character to its extreme opposite, was
too sudden to leave any other I'M
preston than that the war had moth
ing to do with it, farther than to fur
nish the opportunity, by removing
those restraints, the pressure of which
had prevented till then, the outbreak
of the evil passions which have gained
the mastery over the Radical party.
Those passions were boiling and seeth-
ing in the North long years before the
war in which they eliminated and
haveraged with undated force since the
proclamation of a nominal peace. The
world is not ignorant of the history OF
the Radical part, and finds upon every
page conclusive proof that the South
was juStifiable in seeking separation
from neighbor so intermeddling, so
overbearing, so lawless, SO puritanical-
ly corrupt Such must be the verdict
of mankind unless overwhelming proof
is without weight in the formation OF
