KNOXVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA.

A communication in our issue Of yester-
day, from Chattanooga, contains some
hints that might be of service to Knox
vile, if acted upon. There is certainly
enough capital in and around Knoxville,
| if properly used, to make the community
much more prosperous than it is. Our
capitalists are sometimes, as we think, a
little over-cautious. They do not seem to
have the same Observation-Disclosures that
characterizes our sister city, Chattanooga.
But our object now is to speak of the
rivalry between the two cities. Much has
been said in semi-jocular manner by
the partizans of each city about the other
until really it is understood there is an I'M
friendly rivalry between the places. This
proud of Knoxville. We feel proud of the
grand achievements of Chattanooga. We
want to see Knoxville with population
of fifty thousand, but that need not pre-
vent Chattanooga from aspiring to and
reaching one hundred thousand. A space
of one hundred and twelve miles inter-
venes between the cities, and they may grow
and spread great deal yet without dam
ger of conflicting boundary lines. Both
ought to be large cities. Knoxville is sit
uated in the midst of rich agricultural
and mineral region. Chattanooga has
been furnished by nature with the ele-
ments of power and strength, and it is just
as impossible to keep her from becoming
one of the largest and most prosper
GUS cities in the South, as it is to stop
the Tennessee River from flowing to
the Gulf of Mexico. In addition
to her great natural advantages, Chat
tanooga is blessed with enterprising men
who know how to act and are not afraid.
Her great want now is capital. This will
be had eventually, and then the mountain
city will grow and her population and bust
ness will increase, until she may laugh at
rivalry.
We think the same of Knoxville. Chat
tanooaga has some advantages that we have
not, and we have some that Chattanooga
never can have, but we can not see why
there should be any unfriendly rivalry be-
tween us. We can and will sincerely re-
joice at the prosperity of either or both.
We, if our lives are spared to the three.
score-and-ten allotted to men, expect to see
both cities occupying a position in the
front rank of Southern American cities.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

The attention of every patriot and phi
lanthropist from Maine to California is di-
rected to the cause of education in the
South. Especially does every person in
the South, who feels an interest in the
welfare of his section of the Union, feel
profound interest in the condition of our
youth, appertainiag to educational facili-
ties. In Republican government this
matter underlies every other element of the
public welfare, notonly for the reason that
it shall increase the skill of the industries
of the country, but also that it is absolute
ly essential to a correct knowledge of the
duties of a citizen. The published Stats
tics show fearful neglect of education as
applied to the masses in the South and
state of facts that should be notifying to
the sectional pride of the people. If the
people of the South negle6 to provide for
educating the young, the growing senti-
ment of the country in favor of a national
system of education will ripen into posi-
tive results, and the Federal Government
will take the matter into hand.
The action of State Legislatures may re-
tard and delay the establishment of free
schools, but can not long prevent them.
The question is one of high and national
Importance, and unless the States act in
the matter, sooner or later national sys-
tenn is inevitable. Some of the best men
in the country now favor such system
and believe it the best that can be adopted,
but how much better would it be for the
States to act in the matter without SEEM
ing to be driven into the adoption of proper
measures
We rejoice at every movement, whether
State or national, that looks to the inn
provement of our section of the Union i'm
this respect. We look upon men who are
leaders, and who take an active interest in
aiding our people, as their true friends.
The name of Sears and Peabody will long
be remembered with gratitude by the
Southern people. But, unless the States
take action in the matter, it must be
a long time before any thorough aud eff
cient system can be adopted.
We commend to our own State Legisla-
ture consideration of this question We
ask members to consider, whether it is
better for us to adopt a system framed with
. ference to the peculiar condition of

JUDGE HoUK, Joint Representative from
Knox and Anderson, arrived at home yes
terday from Nashville. The Judge is
shaking us very efficient Representative.
The very honorable race he made for
Speaker is still fresh in the memory of our
readers. Failing in that, he was appoint
ed to the craftsmanship of the most i'm
portant committee of the House, that of
Finance, Ways and Means, and, SO far, he
has discharged the high and response
BILE duties of his position with credit
to himself and with satisfaction to
his friends. His course on the school
question, the celebrated "Torbett issue"
question, and all other leading issues be-
fore that body, is worthy of the highest
commentator. AT his instance, resolu-
tions were passed in the House providin g
for thorough investigation of the status
Of the "new issue" cases before the SUI
rreme Court, and his speech delivered on
the occasion of the passage of this resolu-
tion was one of the ablest delivered before
the Legislature on any question. He is
attentive and industrious, and while
others are asleep or enjoying" themselves
]ie is laboriously engaged at his official du-
ties. His popularity with his follow Rep
resentatives gives him great influence,
which, coupled with his decided ability,
enables him to secure the passage of any
reasonable measure affecting his immed-
ate constituents

THE STATE DEBT.

While we have refrained from any die
tation to our Republican friends in the
Legislature, it is nevertheless our purpose
to stand by them in whatever course may
be deemed necessary to the maintenance
of the credit of the State. Rather, we
should have said any course the Republic
cans may take looking to the restoration
of the States financial standing in the
money markets of the world.
And, after mature reflection, and some
r. what thorough study of the various theo-
ries proposed, we are of opinion that about
the best thing that can be done is we'll
guarded law funding the past due bonds
and coupons up to the first day of Janu-
airy, 1874, and providing to pay interest
from and after the first day of July, 1874,
on the debt thus funded. These are our
No atured convictions on this subject, and
shall stand by our party friends in the
Legislature who shall take this high
ground to protect the honor of the State.
But mark the fact that we do not, nor will
the people encourage the funding of dol
lar more than what we have stated. Fund
the past due, and no more of the debt as a
compromise.

ONE of the most heartless, soulless pro-
visions proposed by any member OF the
present Legislature to any law, is that pro-
viding that no child shall be allowed to
attend school until its father has paid his
poll tax. We believe it the duty of every
citizen to promptly pay his taxes, but if a
man fails to do SO, who that has any soul
at all would think of depriving his limo
cent child of the privilege of free school
education as punishment TO the father
It is a monstrous proposition, unworthy
of this civilized age. twill not become
law, to the credit of the Legislature be ii

MEssRs. EDTToRs 81 now give a few
objections against building railroads by
taxation. One of the strongest induce
ments laid before our people to vote for
new roads is, cit viii increase our facil-
tiles for the expectation OF cotton" We
have one road running through the CEN
tire of the county that can carry off one
hundred times as much cotton as Giles
county ought to raise. ARythiBg that
lgi5I induce The people Of GILES county TO
produce cotton is a curse to tie cO1tJtg. l
will defend the above proposition
against any odds whateYer-eXcept the
MOdOcs. But some are made to say,
owe do not need new roads, and there
fore we viii not vote for them" Here
the objection is made not against rail-
roads built by taxation, but against the
existence of new road. This is very
unfair. Give a man the management
of both sides Of proposition, and where
is the wonder if he is victorious ? 1t is
assumed that our County Courts have
as good a right to tax the people
to build railroads as they have to build
bridges. This proposition is suicidal,
for if it be true why call upon the peO-
pie TO do that which the Courts have.a
right to do? When did the Legislature
confer this right upon the Courts ? If
the roads are to be of such immense
value to every man in the county, why
does not our rich company of taxation
gentlemen, representing capital Of ten
millions of dollaas, build the roads and
pocket all the profits? When and
where, since the world was made, did
any rich man going into speculation,
invite every>poOr man to share his prof
its? This is a little too sweet for Us.
We cannot swallow the sugar-cOated
pill. But another very strong objection
against the proposed taxation is our in
debtedness, which is bordering on fifty
millions of dollars. Now, if it is dis
honest i'm an individual to con tract new
debts when he already owes more than
he can pay, will not the same rule APP
ply TO a State or a county? But the
taxation gentlemen tell us that the
profits will soon be sufficient to enable
ms to pay our debts. l consider this
plan of getting out of debt of very
doubtful availability; besides, we have
no Tennessee statistics that will justify
such a hope. b. W. WHITE.
