1t is not the approval or condemnation
of those who are not judges of such mat
tiers, that have weight with editors. But
when one of large experience and means
of judging passes an opinion, it is worth
something.
w. H. P. Denny, editor of the VIII
mington Journal, has been in the news
paper business for forty years. Therefore
we appreciate the following taken from
his paper:
The proprietor of the JACKSON STANDARD
has recently purchased an improved
Fairhaven Power Press. The STANDARD
Is one of the most ably edited and hand
sonely printed papers in Ohio. Brother
MAcELEY wields trenchant pen, which
sometimes cuts with the keenness OF a
Damascus blade.

The Democratic papers seem to be
utterly unable to comprehend why
it is that the Republican press SO univer-
sally. condemns the back pay swindle of
the late Congress, in which SO many Re-
publicans participated, This is the main
cause of the. vitality of the Republican
party. OF course, bad men will get into
the party, just the same as bad men will
get into the most orthodox churches.
But the only way to keep a party or a
church pure, is to casteVer guilty Jonah
overheard. If the Democracy had real
lied this truth years ago, they would not
have been all this time in the minority.

yes, incouboyertihlc. But to de-
velope as a people and draw an indus
trious and thrifty population into
our State, We mnst not only have
good public roads. but a thorough
system Of public schools. 1t is not
necessary now to stop to discuss the
question whether public schools are
suited to the eenius Of our people.
This IS mere nonsense, We must
have a State system of Common
Schools before we advance in mate
rial prosperity.
The whole subject may be stated
briefly: The county system is an
entire failure in many counties. It
is rot an entire success in a single
county in East Tennessee. Hence,
upon the whole it IS a failure.
We need q State law with As little
complication about it as possible,

teachers in every school, and that
will dcvclope the hearty cooperation
Of the people Anything short Of
this will lee q failure.
Notwithstanding the crippled con
dition Of our finances, this can be
done without undue pressure upon
the people or a depreciation of our

large to start with. Then, require

The Peabody Fund.

No modern benificence has been
greater than the Peabody School
Fund for the South The design Of
Mr.. Peabody was to do good. The
intention of the Trustees is to do
right. Much good has been done
much is now being accomplished,
and much more will yet be the re-
suit. Experience will teach the
Trustees the best way possible to
apply the proceeds Of the Fund to
accomplish what Mr.. Peabody de-
sired.
We have heard it suggested that
so far as money would be appropri-
ated from the Fund in Tennessee, 1t
would hereafter be directed to the
establishment and support of Nor
nal Schools. instead of being une-
qually distributed rs now. We
know not how true this is; but it
strikes us as being cminently wise.
We need educated teachers worse
than anything else. In fact, we can
not have successful schools until we
have trained teachers. Let the
amount of money distributed in
Tennessee be concentrated on two
or three well ordered Normal Schools.

Tennessee Tax on Merchants.

/ From the Chicago Times, Of November 22.
Perhaps it is not necessary to gc
so far from home as Tennessee tc
find examples of barharous taxes
but certain it is that at least one
rather striking example may be
found by going there, in the tax on
merchants. The person who follows
merchandising in that State pays
taxes on his capital at the same rate
as persons engaged in other pursuits,
and q heavy tax besides for the
blessed privilege of buying and sell
ing goods and taking the risk of bad
debts. Attempts have been made
at different times to secure the repeal
Of this absurd and odious bit of class
legislation. but they have invariably
failed. for the alleged reason that
the abolition of the tax would be I'M
popular with the farmers and plant
ers. This reason however. has
every appearance of being sheer bun
colnbe. It looks as though the move
meuts for repeal had failed not so
much because the people are oppos-
ell to it, as because the politicians in
the Legislature have thought it the
popular thing to sustain the iqiqui-
tous tax. The farmers and planters
Of Tennessee might not average
very high if subjected to competitive
examination under the civil service
rules. but they can hardy be 50
stupid as to suppose that they can
tighten their own load by putting an
extra burden on the backs Of the
merchants. After their experience
OF the tariff and different kinds Of
United States taxes. during the past
seven or eight years. they can hardly
help knowing that taxes Of this kind
are Invariably added to tie prices Of
merchandise. and eventually fall upon
consumers, together with an alIi-
tional sum charged by merchants rs
interest on She money advanced by
them to tie State. In only one way
can the merchants lie made to bear
even a portion of the extra burden.
and that IS by 4 falling off il the de
manj for their goods in coa-equesce
Of increased prices. If they adj

ny way Of interest. 70 the prices Of
their goods. they may lose par, Of

add something less than The whole
or the tax for the time being.
in order to get rid Of their stocks on
hand. After accomplishing that
they will regulate their purchases 50
as 70 protect themselves. and charge
over tie tax to consumers. L is an
dcrstooI that another attempt to re
peal this tax viii soon he ma lo. and.
it is to he hoped a successful one.
The tax Is ojion5ly unjust. it is Diet
rimautal To the interests Of consum- .
crz, and its tendency is to rePel both .
capital and immigration from tie
State.

MkLANcHoLY COINCIDENCE Some
thing like fortnight ago we were called
upon to chronicle the death by accident
OF Edwin Odds. not far from this city.
His death was caused by his falling from
his wagon and being run over. This was
sad event, but, singular to relate. q
short time after news was receiver here
that his former partner, James Logan. OF
Treasure City, met with an accident
which. though not resulting fatally.
leaves him in most deplorable condition.
Hewas engaged in blasting with giant
powder, when the blast went off unex-
pectedly, destroying his eye-sight and
blowing one arm from his body. This is
quite singular and at the same time
most melancholy coincidence. Mr..
Logan has many warm friends here, all
OF whom feel the deepest sympathy for
him in view of his great misfortune.
A SMALL FIRE.-Between 2 and 8
O'Clock yesterday morning a fire broke
out in small house on a street back of
Meadow Valley street, occupied by J. G..
Alexander. 1t created great blaze and
caused considerable connection, arousipg
many Of our people from their slumbers.
How the fire originated the occupant of
the building is unable to say. II came
upon him SO Unexpectedly that his hair
and moustache were singed before he
awoke. Seeing the fire all around and
above him, he grabbed his pants and es-
capped. All his bedding, clothing, pro-
visions, ETC., were consumed by the fire.
There were no building near by; SO the
fire had nothing else to feed upon, and
no other damage was done.
Disturbing THE PEAcE.-The woman
who was arrested day before yesterday
on charge of shooting at a man was
brought before Justice Stoutenburph
yesterday evening for examination.
After hearing the testimony in the case,
and nothing of fragrant nature appearing
she was allowed to plead guilty to a
charge of disturbing the peace. Nominal
fine and costs assessed.
PIocHE PUBLIC SCHOOL. - Mr.. Will
marth, the principal, informs us that
there are 100 pupils enrolled, but from
some cause the average attendance does
not exceed SO. Three separate rooms
are appropriated to school purposes. We
are assured that the general progress is
good among those pupils who are regular
in their attendance.
Coon DRINKERs.-At the San Fran
cisco Brewery, Meadow Valley street,
few evenings since, there was some extra
lager beer drinking. Ten men, from 8
O'Clock p. m. to midnight, drank As gal
Ions of lager beer-in the neighborhood
OF 80 glasses each. We challenge any
town in the State to beat that.
FIRE IN WooD PLE.- Yesterday
afternoon, by some means not yet def
nitely known, fire caughtin pile of wood
near the Bowery hosting works, and
about 100 cords were consumed.
The drawing o. the Nevada State
Lottery takes place to-day at Virginia.
