Commissioner make themselves perfectly

1t We can have the law properly admins

FRANCE.

The resignation Of Theirs, President
OF the French Republic, and the election
of Marshall Mcmahon to that position are
'events that have transpired whiting the
last week. This is by far the most im>
portant change that has taken place in
France since the downfall of Napoleon
III. The election of Napolcon's ia.
vorits General to the Chief Magistracy Of
the nation that so lately repudiated him
is a strange and startling circumstance in
the history Of that country. Doubtless
since the resignation Of Theirs, Mcmahon
rs about the only one fit to rule, but the
change from a man like NJ. Theirs whose
whole life has been that of a political
leader to n who has always been ideu.
tilted with the military history of Frances
soldier in every sense of the term, is signi.
6cant. McMAon is popular with the
army aud better fitted to act as a military
dictator than as a civil magistrate. He
as looked upon as a B~onapartist, and his
accession to the Presidency may DO only
the stepping stone to the re-establishment
Of the Napoleonic dynasty.

MEXICO,

The late action Of General Mckenzie,
commanding United States troops on the
Mexican border has produced a profound
sensation throughout the country. Our
Government has waited long and patient.
ly for some decisive measure on tho part
of Mexico looking to the suppression Of
the numerous marauding bands of .Indi,
ans and Mexicans who have been commit
ting depredations on the border counties
of Texas, until patience has ceased to be
any longer q virtus. Our Government
has therefore taken it upon herself 10
punish these socundrels, and has at one
blow broken up one band which will serve
as a warning to others by pointing out in
the strongest possible manner what they
may expect if their outragcs are contin-
aed. II the action Of Gen. Mckenzie, in
crossing the Rio Grande and making q
forced march Of eighty miles into Mexico
and killing aud capturing a band of Indi.
an outlaws, should result in a war with
Mexico it cannot DO helped. Every Gov,
eminent should furnish protection to it,
citizens, aud the Mexican Government
having failed to act in the premises, al,
though strongly urged to do so. could ex.
poet nothing less than what has occurred.
We however, have no apprehensions Of
serious trouble with that country. The
character Of this Government is we'll
known, aud Mexico has o sad and humil.
iatiDg remembrance of what we are capa.
bic Of doing If aroused.

FREE SCHOOLS.

tennessee is waking up to the impor,
lance Of a school system. While this il
true in the main. there is much opposi-
ton to be overcome, 1t seems strange
that any n should oppose a system Of
free schools. Public opinion is not e4aot,
" what it ought to DO on this subject.
We are glad to see the happy change that
has taken place. aud wish our people
could adopt tho language and septiuen,
OF Governor Perham, of Maine, when be
says Our normal schools are doing we'll
cut the demand for thoroughly trained
teachers is greater than they can supply,
The wages o. teachers are less in this than
In any other State in the country. Hence
many Of our best teachers leave the State
or engage in'ether pursuits. we cannot
expect good sch0als without good teach,
ers, and but few good teachers can be had
WITHOUT good pay, Our public schools
should be the pest schools in the State
aud shoald furnish opportunities, net only
for primary and intermediate stud;cs, but
to prepare for college, or the practical du.
ties Of life. These advantages should be
as free to the children as the water thew
drink or the air they breathe"
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1873-05-29
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.

Under the new school law these officers
hold responsible positions. 1t will be
necessary for them to become perfectly
familiar with the law in nllits provisions.
A little time and attention given to the
subject will add greatly to the successful
working of the school law. The County
Superintendent and County Trustee find
no difficulty when the commissioners dir.
charge their duties carefully. We know
that the commissioners have a great deal
Of work to do without compensation, but
they must not think that their labors on
that account are lightly valued. No Of
ticers created by the school law have more
important duties to perform, or Fill more
important places than school commits.
