OUR FREE SCHOOLS.

The great interest being felt in the sub
ject of free schools must be very crafty
ing to all well wishers Of the community.
The work is a great one, and one Oh which
the prosperity, material and moral, of the
present and succeeding generations largely
depends.
But it is not q work TO be accomplished
without labor, and it is one which will be
materially accomplished by the helps, sup
port, and even the good will Of citizens
generally, even those not officially con-
nected with the system.
Teachers and superintendent are work
ing faithfully for small wages, and other
officers giving time and labor without pay,
will feel much encouraged if they know
that their labors are not overlooked nor
unappreciated.
Let each one give at least a kind and en-
couraging word if he can do no more.

1--WE take it that the majority of our tax
payers need no further experience to prove
that Republicanism is a far more costly
affair than our present State Government.
We are sorry to see some so very "inde-
pendent" that they place John G. Browns
administration on a level with VIM. G.
Brownlow's.
We would be very "sorry" ourselves, to
see any one who has any respect for him.
self, and whose opinion we would regard
as worth anything placing John G..
Browns administration on level with
VIM. q. Brownlow's.n % 1t cannot be done.
The administration of John G. Brown is
entirely too low to place any preceding
one on level with it. What has it done
for the State? How much of permanent
good? Has our credit improved more
than it would have done under the natural
growth of the State?
And then on the other hand, the little,
mean, petty, partisan intrigues of selfish
cliques for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which
have marked it! With John g. Browns
administration, the public printing swim

host of smaller matters of the same char

THE CHRONICLE is evidently unpopu-
lar with the Nashville Banner. We are
not surprised at this, neither are our read
ers, The Banner men, in connection with
others, stole several thousand dollars from
the people of Tennessee, by way of fraudu-
lent charges for public printing, and then
tried to cover up their theft by lying. They
were exposed through the columns of the
CHRONICLE and shown up in their true
character. AS a general rule, thieves and
liars do not wish their deeds made public.
The Banner fellows are no exception.

THE ,Greeene county fair, report of
which appeared in our issue of yesterday
morning, was success. Under all the cir
cumstances, it was grand success. After
the prevalence of the scourge which af-
Jiicted that community during the summer
it would not have been surprising if it had
failed. 1t did not, and is all the more
creditable to the people of Greene county.
This result should prove an incentive to
our people to work constantly for the sue
cess of the Eastern Division Fair.

THE CAMP MEETING.

The National Camp Meeting has proved
vesy interesting and successful occasion.
The grounds are beautiful, the manage
ment of affairs seems to have been unu-
sually good, the attendance has been very
large and much interest has marked the
exercises. We trust that the gentlemen
who came so far to participate in the occa-
sion may not find this their last visit to
our city. We are gratified to know that
they have been so much pleased with the
fraternal welcome they received, not only
from their own but other denominations

THE result of the municipal election in
Nashville shows gratifying signs Of the
decay of old bunker, stand still, non-pro-
gressive bourbon Democracy. EX-Mayor
Morris is O clever man and has managed
his own private business very well, but he
is understood as q representative Of the
"dog-in- the-manger' policy, which will
not win. 1t is getting so now that man
is not considered at the State Capital as
having disgraced himself by having ad-
hered to the Union side during the late
war. We take it, also as rebuke from
the workingmen OF that: policy which
places them in competition with convict
labor. Norman or set of men who will adj
vocate such policy can stand long.

KENTUCKY sticks to her old customs with
a tenacity which is wonderful. From the

Certainly, the soul Of Petroleum V. Nasty

dence in Hopkinsville. There his Demo-

his kind.

some years ago, during the war, when
the Presbyterian General Assembly mel
stPittsburgh, Pa a series Of resolutions
was adopted, to which many Southern
Churches took exceptions, and the result
was the formation Of q Presbyterian
Church South. On Wednesday last the
following action was taken by the Assem-
bly, now in session in Baltimore. II will
doubtless be the means Of re-uniting the
Church, as It removes all points of differ
ruce. The following is the report, as we
dad it in the Baltimore Sun Of Thursday Z:
DR.. Nicolls, as chairman Oi the Com.
mittee on bills and overtures, presented
the following paper, which was unani'
mOusly approved by the Assembly:
Res0lued, That the General Assembly
DO solemnly declare that, In accordance
with q resolution unanimously adopted
by each ofthe two bodies now constituting
The reunited Assembly, all action tOuchA
Ing the brethren RdhGring TO the body
snowu as the Southern General Assembly,
together with all action touching the
body known rs the Old School Synod OF
Missouri, has been, since the reunion,
null and void, and therefore Of no binding
effect, and not TO be pleaded as prece-
dent in the future.
ReSo!red, That the Assembly express
confidence in the sOundness OF doctrine
and Christian character oil these brethren,
and cannot doubt that q moro intimate
communion would lead TO speedy re-
moval Of the barriers that now separate
those Of like faith to increased mutual
liking and esteem and 10 practical mani
lesiuliOn OF our oneness In Christ. With
regard to the civil magistrates and tho re-
lali0ns of Church and State the Assembly
deem il sufficient 10 call attention TO tho
following principles and statements found
In these standards, 10 wit: Synods and
Councils are TO handle and conclude
nothing but that which is ecclesiastical,
and are not 10 intermeddle with civil
affairs which concern the Common
wealth, unless by way Of humble petition
in cases extraordinary. That all Church
power, whether exercised by the body in

will appoint two commissioners to confer

tions of the last two years was bringing
to maturity; and the Bank of Berlin,
raised II 10 the terms, the Banks OF
Frankfort and Holland following suit.
At Vienna, matters were much worse ior

followed. The banks could do no more
than they had already done, and failures
by the hundred took place.
