THE ToRBETT ISSUE.

- Judge Houk's constituents will endorse
the position he has taken In reference to
the Torbett ISSUE The people of the State
will endorse hiHl. The Legislature should
DO everything necessary in its power, to
cave the State from the overwhelming bur-
den which would inevitably follow the
payment Of these notes. 1t should be
fought to the bitter end. No one knows
anything Of the amount of the issues. Mr.
7Pennebaker, late Comptroller of the Treas
ury, has repeatedly declared that no one
could tell the amount, as the plates were
kept in New York, and no record kept of
numbers or amounts. The Memphis Aua-
Ianche takes strong ground against its pay
ment and says:
But there is powerful agency at work
TO have the new issue paid. If it is part
OF the. war debt, then it is clear that under
the Fourteenth Amendment no part of it
can be recognized by the General Assem-
bly, or by the Courts. This amendment
declares that neither the United States
nor any State shall assume or pay any debt
or obligation incurred in aid of insurrec-
ton or rebellion against the United
States" The whole new issue of the Bank
of Tennessee was incurred in aid of the
rebellion" II the General Assembly
will permit the new issue to be paid by
the State, then we shall urge it, as a logi-
cal result as well as an act of common
right to pay for the destruction of the cot
ton that was turned over to the torch. We
shall go one step further and demand that
the Confederate soldiers who were soldiers
at the surrender be paid pensions by the |
6tate, and the widows and children of |
tnese VINO died shall receive pensions and |
bountles. If the cotton spectators and |
blood speculators are to be enriched in 1873, |
because OF the madness and folly of 1861 |
and 1867, then let the General Assembly |
See TO IL that equal Justice be done to all I
parties. Let the Bank of Tennessee, or its
agent, collect what is due the hank in its
own paper; let the bank do lust whatever
it pleases to do, but treat it as defunct in
stitution with which the Stare of Tennes.
see has no connection whatever. And If
seems to Us that joint resolution of the
Legislature f0rbidding any revenue officer
Of Tennessee from receiving the new issue
would give 1t quietus forever, The hold
ers of the new issue notes cannot sue the
State, because the Federal Constitution for
bids 1t, and hence the General Assembly
have ID in their power to help the people
and overthrow the SPECTATORS, by declar-
ing 1t misdemeanor or felony for any
revenue or other officer of the State to re-
eeive the new issue in payment of debts or
taxes due the State.

SCHOOL HOUSES.

Petition after petition from every sec
q ton has been sent forward, and they are
still being sent forward to the Legislature,
asking'tha body to enact q common school
law, that will meet the imperative de-
nands now being made upon our State in
! behalfof the cause ofeducation. The time
has arrived when no thinking man, who
cares anything for the welfare and good
name of Tennessee, can recur te our de-
plorable condition in this State, without
feeling the crimson tinge of shame come
upon his cheek. The people are aroused
on this all important question and Will not
be satisfied, with any non-committal, half
way measure.
We publish in this issue memorial
on the subject, which is being signed
by the people of Sullivan county.
The friend who sends us this petition
expresses the matter strongly, when he
says: 4" We atsst educate or perish" 1t is
true. 1t is question that so directly in
wolves our prosperity, and almost our e1-
! istence as State in this enlightened coun:
try, that we can not afford to ignore it on
account OF the pecuniary cost.
But we wish in this article more partIe-
ularly to call attention to another feature
ofthememoriaI alluded to. The memorial
sets forth: "We should have good schools
in we'll constructed school houses. The
school house should be the pride of the
neighborhood. 1t is the index of the edu-
eational standing Of the community"
How true! We have often felt sad at the
fate of our youth, when we have beheld
the miserable huts in which they attend
school. How much more comfortable the
children could be made while in the pur-
cult of knowledge, if we had plenty Of
nwell constructed school houses?" How
little in the character of the houses to i'm
press them with the feeling that parents
and friends are interested in the cause of
- education? How many school houses all
ever the land, are built with as little
view to comfort and convenience, as the
81 barns in which horses and cattle are shell
.knxed? ?, IF the school houses are to be taken
81 an index of our educational standing,
how must the stranger be impressed with
-our condition, If the school house is to
be taken as symbol of our culture, what
sIueratIoH III the preparation or every school
law. Something practicable should eincor-
porated, that would insure the erection of a
handsome, comfortable, convenient school
house in each school district, that should be
"the pride of the neighborhood." Such a
measure would have most healthy, ele-
vatinp Influence and wouId do mUch fo>
wards inspiring in the minds of the
young profound sense of the interest felt
by the public in their welfare. Without
this, any law passed will be insufficient,
to some extent imperative and unsuccess-
ful, and it cannot accomplish the great end
sought by its enactment.

ton of a new party, or the nomination of
an Independent ticket. When new parties
are formcd-as they must ere many years

terests of any one class, industry, labor,
profession or trade. The interests of every
trace, industry and profession are indsso-
lubly connected, and no effort of dcma-
gogucs or politicians can sever them There
must, necessarily, be two sides to every
question, and men cannot always think
alike. 1t is well that it is so. The securi-
ty of the community and the putting down
of corruption is dependant thereon. Men
will not range themselves in political par
ties by their occupations, but. on the con-
trary, all occupations will be represented
IN every party. Class legislation, or class
parties, can never obtain foothold in this
country.

Address OF WELCOME.

Mr.. Prssident, Ladies and Gentlemen =.
1t may be proper in opening the exercises
of the occasion to state briefly how it
came to pass that we were invited to come
together to-day. Some few years ago the
subject of getting up history of this
town was in contemplation by Doctor
Caverly and several others, which resulted
in authorizing the Doctor by the town, at
the March meeting in 1870 TO look up the
materials, write and cause to be printed
such history.
The Doctor having completed the work,
said history Is now in the hands of COM
mittee of the town and for sale, (Which Is
already KNOWN and which is considered
TO be q very interesting work and highly
valued.

Something About the New Postal

On and after the LIST proximo the common
query, "Have You postage stamp about you?''

gentleman writes to the Post Office department
saying that he would like as many as 100000 Of
the 5000, 900 instalment to be issued on the drst

the country have been pouring into the Post

ally expressed that they win not, but that such
cards win be treated as printed matter, { e.,

therefore, be a total loss to the government.
