Reading for Onr City Fathers,
axt 1.-The lahnrar Is worthy of ID

| Text.-"The laborer is worthy of his
| hire"
This scriptural truth is generally
acknowledged, but there is in almost every
| occupation a sad difference Of opinion b.
tween employer and employee, as to what
the proper amount to be paid as hire should
be. Corporations, as general thing, are
notedly less liberal in dealing with their
employees than private parties. Why this
the fact, as witness the salaries of our city
school teachers. No class of laborers have
greaterstrain or tax upon the intellect, the
patience and the body; none require more
time and labor to qualify them for their
work, aud no work (outside the Gospel
Ministry of such value aud responsibility
AZ the school teachers. And yet no class
Of laborels receive salaries SO inadequate
to their wants and SO little remunerative
for the honest service rendered. And what
is most remarkable, when an honest effort
is made to increase these starvation salaries
a majority of the City Council meet and
defeat the movement, not on the principle
that supply and demand regulate these
matters" but on the score of economy"
he'majority Of our city teachers receive
an annual stip nd of only $500, less than
one-half the amount received by teachers
in any other city in the South. What an
extraordinary inducement for a young
man or woman to prepare him or herself
as an instructor of the youths of our city
A boy who goes to learn his trade in our
machine shops or elsewhere, gets the first
year of his apprentice ship $3.50 to
$3.50 /; the second year $3.50 to $3.50
and the 3D. from $3.50 to $500, and then
he become $ journeyman, from 81 90 to
Sl200
Now, these laborers (teachers) spend
from three to Sax years close application
learning their trade; with this difference
the boy is being paid during his appren-
ticeship, while the teacher not only re-
ceives no pay, but is actually at large ex-
pense for books and tuition.
When their trade is learned and they are
provided with places as journeymen, if we
may be allowed the expression, what do
We find? Not that they get 500 nor $500,
nor even S409, but the paltry sum of $500,
which amount, they are dependent upon
their own resources, will barely keep soul
and body together. What a glorious pros
pect they have before them! What a mag
nificent incentive to use their every eXer-
ton to reach the highest position Of fame
as teacher in our city schools.
To think of all intelligent business man
asking any one thus qualified to work for
such a miserable pittance, would be mon
strous. But when we read in our public
prints that majority of the City Board
have actually advocated and voted to con-
tinue these niggardly salaries, our very
feelings are outraged. People of Knoxville,
is not this state of affairs u disgrace to our
city? Shall it C ntinue longer without
remedy? Let the Board, or Committee of
Education render their proposition for an
increase of salaries, and if opposed by any
Alderman let the intelligent citizens of the
Ward he represents petition him to resign
at once. CAM.

Monument to General Thomas.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 20, Is

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. ~, 1873.
Mr.. EDITOR: Yesterday the House of
Representatives passed the bill introduced
by Hon. Horace Maynard, appropriating
eS brass cannon for the erection of mon
ument to the memory Of that brave, noble
man, Maj Gen. Geo. H. Thomas.
The time is coming, yea already come,
when the South will rise up in her might
and show her appreciation Of Southern
men who upheld he flag of the Union in
that trying conflict through which the
country was called to pass.
Not that they did more than Northern
or Western men, but that they sacrificed
more, they bled deeper at every pore. They
took arms to resist their own offspring,
they went to the conflict to wrest from the
domination of their native soil and 1nstl-
tutions of their fathers and brothers, 10
save and cement the union of States.
Thus it was with this gallant son OF
Virginia. born on the soil of the old COM
monwealth. Yet he Obeyed his country's
call and sped to the rescue, leading on
through Kentucky and Tennessee the
victorious hosts under the flag of the
Union. His memory will outlive in story
and song the monument of enduring brass
that will now be erected to his memory,
and as generation after generation shall
file away and march from the stage OF
time, the memory of Major General G. H.
Thomas will live in the hearts of the
American people.
must beg your indulgence for this little
effusion. [ never write or speak of this
great man without sort of fnspiration-I

EDITORS CHRONICLE In contemplating
the RAPID march of Improvement in the
agricultural, mechanical and scientifical
pursuits of East Tennessee, we take pleas.
ure in giving you brief narration Of the
educational works and the literary zeal
manifested in this part of her enterprising
domain:
This College is located at Blue Springs.
Greene county, East Tennessee, on the
line of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad, two miles west of Mid
way and sixty miles west of Bristol. This
part of the country is justly celebrated for
the fertility of its soil, the salubrity of it's
climate and the morality Of it's people. A
long and beautiful view of the East Ten

conspicuous from the site of the College

premises, and, after casting angles of Wis
finely decorated by the hand of nature, can
scan about thirty miles of the beautiful
range of the Allegheny Mountains.
This institution, being as yet in Its in
fancy, can not be said to be copiously and
elegantly equipped with fine furniture nor
embellished with the pencils of art, but it
can boast of far more Opulent resources,
viz: Professors of distinguished talent and
unrivaled ability, who are perpetually
electrified with the fond desires of expi;-
eating to the minds of their pupils all the
abstruse and inherent beauties of science,
and especially to enstamp their minds with
the immortal principles of truth.
Two literary societies are in connection
with the College, denominated the Philo-
Iethian and Ciceronian. 4 theological so.
ciety was also organized short time since,
which appears to attract universal admi-
ration and exhibits flattering prospects of
much good.
A few weeks since the members of the
Philolethian Society met in public-discus-
sion and investigated the question, Has
religion exercised greater influence over
the minds of men than politics?'' The
hall was crowded with pupils, who main
tanned profound order and sat elated ut the
and zeal manifested in the dis
cussion. The discussion being ended, the
committee awarded decision in behalf
of the negative.
Mosheim, being under the fostering care
of the Lutheran Church, appears to be
stranger to decline, and bids fair for future
eminence and prosperity. DELTA.

Facts.

EDITORS CHRONICLE In communi-
cation published by you on last Saturday
it Is stated as ''factn that if Professor
Bradley had been authorized to offer sum
approaching what Mr.. Dunning offered,
those interesting specimens, from the
mound at the fork of French Broad and
Holston "would have been in the posses
sion of the East Tennessee University
This means that the Trustees are to blame
for not having given Prof. Bradley the
necessary authority. I wish simply to say
that, whether there is any blame in the
matter or not, or whether, if there Is any
blame, it is of little or much importance,
one thing is certain, that Prof. Bradley
never communicated at all with the Trus-
tees OH that subject of the "interestiDg
specimen" They only could give him au
thority 10 offer u sum for them, but he
never asked for such authority. He knew
they were then to be had. They did not.
1t was in the line Of his business to know
of it. Had he asked for an appropriation
in the case. it would have been for them to
grant or refuse it. Probably he thought
he was certain of getting 1.-The interesting
specimens" by the agreement made with
him by the owner and could not interpOse
in time 20 prevent their passing into other
hands. How that is he is, no doubt, able
10 say. But 1t is an injustice to charge the
Trustees with q "Sln OF OmlSl0n" IN the
affair. Suppose, though, they had refused
to authorize an expenditure of money for
a number of skeletons and shells andso to
prevent their being carried out of East
Tennessee, when there are ten or twenty
times as many left to supply applicants!
They had right to do so under the circum-
stances. At that very, time, 1s69-7O, the
University was struggling to keep its feet.
and almost, for its existence. It had ex-
pended largely of its limited means to COM
ply with the conditions of the State law
for the establishment of the Agricultural
College. The then Legislature had order
ed the Comptroller not to pay to the Uni
versity the interest on the College endow-
ment. The Trustees were, therefore, oblg-
ed to borrow money to run the College
with that, at large rate of interest. They
did not know when this condition of
things would improve or when it would
grow worse. Suppose they had then de-
cded it was imprudent in them to spend
money, which they did not have, in buy
ing "the interesting specimens" Who
could have blamed them But they did
not do so. Why blame them still

Proceedings OF the Second Session Of the

WASHINGTON, March 3.
SENATE,

The Vice President laid before the Sen
ate dispatch addressed to him from John
McEnery, claiming to be Governor of Lou
isiana, announcing the election Of VIM.
l.. Mcmillan as Senator from Louisiana,
and that his credentials have been for
warded. ts'23.a
West said that, while he would not OBJ
jeet to the receipt of the credentials, if reg
ularly presented, he must object to the re-
eeipt of this irregular notification.
Edmunds said it was in the nature of a
petition and might be received as such.
Trumbull said he did not attach much
importance to the matter, bat thought it
ought to be received.
Morton said the dispatch was merely an
announcement that Mcmillan had been
elected by mob Legislature, and he did
not think the information important. If
it was so regarded it might have been sent
to the Evening Star, for it certainly had no
business in Congress.
Sherman moved to lay the eommunica-
ton on the table. Agreed to.
