March 25, 1873.

EDI7oRs HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
We left your pleasant and cheerful vii
lage on the 2lst inst, for this, and arrived
at Union Depot u little after 2 o'clock
Here we found ourselves a.foot, with 81,
miles of mud and cold between us ant
our place of destination. After consider
able delay and much effort to procur,
conveyance a very large boy with a very
small mule rode up to the Wyatt House
and called for "that man what wanted tc
go to Blountville." We presented our,
solf and learned that the only chance to
get to Blountville that evening was to
ride this mule and carry said boy behind
me. Nothing daunted we mounted land
not much mounting either and reached
our destination in safety before night. A
few yearshave not produced many changes
in BJountville and its surroundings. This
is one of the oldest towns in Tennessee.
and its citizens have long been noted for
their intelligence and morality. 1t is a
notorious truth, that a liquor shop or ga
loon never fourished here. Three good
churches with an intelligent, working
membership exists here. A large mum.
Der of citizens attended the burial of Mrs.
Geo. L. Cannon, at the cemetery at this
place, on the 22d.
Court is now in session and a large nun.
Der OF tho citizens are in att enhance. Ten
persons are held in Jail to await the action
OF the court in their several cases. One
OF them is charged with murder. Four
with Larceny. One for carrying conceal
ed weapons. One for countcrfeiting.
one tor leHdness mud adultery, and a me-
gro man and white woma for MARRYING
in violation Of the laws Of this Stute. It
is but due to Sullivan ccuhty to say that
the man indicted for murder is here from
Carter county by change of venue, and
of the others are recently from Vir-
glnia, Some of them caught in this side
the line trying to evade the law. There
are but thirty-three cases on the criminal
docket most ofwhich are important cases.
If Judge Gillenwaters pushes matters
as he has at the other Courts on this
and gets the cooperation of the
Bar, he will reduce the dockets very much
N the two weeks allowed him at this
place. A large number of Attorneys are
''gotng around like a roarinq lion
'cho1n they might devour some>
The counties of johnson; Car.
er, Washington; Hawkins and Sullivan
re we'll represented. A few State cases
ave bcen disposed of and some doubts
re expressed about the trial of the muir
Ter case. Parties having suits in Wash
ngton county may prepare to try at the
ext term, as it is almost impossible to
ct a continuance under the present rules
f the Court. Yours truly.

TO WORK.

Now that We have a school law which
if properly managed, will secure an eff,
clent school system to the people of Ten.
nessce, we must go right to work to de.
velop the system. After all, a school
law can do little more than suggest, while
the people themselves must carry into eff,
feet the suggestions. We need a State
Superintendent to supervise the oduca,
tional interest Of the State. This is an
important Office, ard will be- a difficult one
to fill. A man of creative genius, indom.
table energy, and in full sympathy with
tho free school movement can succeed as
State Superintendent. A county Super.
intcndent is needed in each county to
work up the school interest. Much de-
ponds upon the county Superintcndents.
IL is through them that the minutiae of
the school system are carried out. They
are the sentinels guarding the outposts,
and gathering information respecting the
working of the school law for the State
Superintendent. The success of the
school system in a great measure depends
upon the wo,k of these officers. Practi.
cal and wide awake men are needed as
county Superintendent. We are salts
fed that the present law is the best that
could be obtained under the circum-
We can make a grand success
out of it, if VIC 60 to work with a hearty
good will to build up the free school in
terest of the State. The foundation has
been laid, but the superstructure must be
work Of the people themselves. Let
us try to make everybody interested in
this important matter.

DEFEAT OF THE REVENUE
BILL.
An Outrag. upon the People.

An Outrage upon the People.
When the present General Assembl,
met at Nashville, on the 9th day of Jan.
uary last, we had great hopes of a proita
bic session. One that would reflect homo,
upon the State Government and result in
great good to. the people. We had
every reason to expect this from the tone
of the public press throughout the State
and the sentiments that seemed to inspire
each individual member whsn the session
commenced. But alas ! for human weak
ness, we fear the whole session has prov
eda failure and it would have been far
better for the whole State if the member,
had re ained at horne. They passed a
School Bill it is true, not what VIC desired.
but better than the former one, and now
in order to impair its usefulness the oppo.
nents Of the measure seem determined to
defeat the Revenue Bill without which
the State will be without funds to carry
on the School system. On Monday last,
whenever the Revenue Bill was called up
q sufficient number bolted from the Hall
IN order to prevent a quorum. The reg
ulnr session having expired on Saturday
the Speaker was unable to enforce their
attendance, and we presume the measure
is lost. A more attreeious and shameful
proceeding on the part of the members
Of n Legislative body never occurred in
the history of our State. 1t is safe to
presume that a majority os the members
of the Legislature reflect the will of a
majority of the people, their constituents,
and it is the duty Of every member to be
present when a vote is r&Ap, instead of
trying to accomplish AyNt ratiem and
chlcanery what can not be,ionc opehly and
fairly. ~ q
Many OF these member brS young men
just commencing a poliiA casekwhich
might have been as brillky as it was hon
Orable and ssatesmaulikc, but thS have
made a false step in the beginning tina. it
will take years to rectify. ~Theyslould be

OUR STATE ~SUPERINTEN-

Hon. John M. Fleming, of Knox, lille,
has been appointed State Superintendent
BY Governor Brown, and confirmed by the
Senate. This may strike many with sur.
prise, as it was not generally known that
Mr.. Fleming has been an outspoken ad,o.
cate Of free schools in TENNESSEE. We
trust, however, that Gov. Brown has made
a Judicious selection, for upon the State
Superintendent, hangs the destiny of the
school law. Every friend of free schools
in the State should feel himself called
upon to assist the Superintendent in de-
7s'Cping the common school interests of
Tennessee. The magnitude of the un.
dertaking demands united effort.

THE l.

The Comptroller and Treasurer of the
State have each informed the Governor
that it will exhaust the resources of the
State under existing laws to meet the in
tsrest on the bonded debt and leave
nothing to defray the current expenses Of
the State. 1t will also defeat other im-
portant measures requiring extraordinary
appropriations, such as the erection of
buildings for the blind school and hospi.
tails fos the insane in East and West Ten
nessec, and also prevent the extraordinary
appropriations voted TO the Deaf and Dumb
School, the Hospital for the Insane, the
Agricultural Bureau and other meritori-
GUS institutions. The Governor has sent
a message to the Legislature setting forth
these facts, but it has probably come too
late to effect anything. .,r

FORBID THEM NOT.

Good schools are the seed-plot of The
nations leaders. They are the safeguard
OF Its wealth, liberty and religion tn,
security of its growth in holy power, prac.
Teal wisdom and piety. They lay the
foundation Of individual enterprise and
national PROPERTY. Children rightly ed,
ucatec are the glory of any government,
ana it may justly covet the best means for
the spread of i~ntelligeEee. From the
children of the present will be chosen our
rulers in the future. They will carry into
Office many results of their former educa,
ton. As they are educated now. so in q
great measure will be the character of
their official influence. If they are brought
up in ignorance, or trained on the street
and at places of public and evil amuse.
ments the nation has a poor guarantee to
Advancement, or long duration. If they
are well taught and disciplined in good
schools it is phrophetic of good. Give
all the'children practical and sancti6ed
learning and the nation has hope of a
more lasting fame. Let them 90 forth
into active life exhibiting this power and
1t has an anchor to its character and exis-
tcncc both sure and steadfast.
Although good schools are of Untold ad,
vantages, yet in some localities they arc
really forbidden. The people are not
awakened on the subject of education.
They take little or no interest in its ad.
vancement. Many argue by their actions
that they are as we'll satisfied, and think
it as profitable for their children to be
brought up in ignorance, IS to have them
enlightened and disciplined in the school,
room for honorable and useful members of
society. With such a people there is no
demand for qualified teachers, and the re-
suit is they have no first class schools. In
a few neighborEoods good schools are pros
hibited by the choice Of teachers. Some
persons in buying goods are already to
take an inferior quality because it costs
less money, when by paying d little more
they would get something more sefsicea-
BILE and in the end cheaper. Just so it is
with some fathers and mothers. They
prefer to send their children to inferior
teachers because the tuition is not 50 high.
Prejudice also forbids good schools in some
communities. Some are in favor of ons
person as teacher, others Of another
both may be equally fitted for the
responsible position. Hence a division
and the result is often no school 1T
Ill, or if any, n very much below what
night have been had the people discard
ID their petty differences and worked to.
for the common interest. 1t is
line for such small difficulties to be cast
side and for the people to build up good
for they will certainly exercise a
beneficial and telling influence upon the
uture rulers and homes of our nation,
let us have schools-goo schools for all
he children Of the State.

ROMANS SCHOOL HOUSE

The school at this place closed a few
days ago. W, II. Wills, the teacher, ha,
given general satisfaction. He is striving
to improve himself by reading educational
works and periodicals. The school house
is very much out Of repair. 1t is not at
all fit to teach in. The citizens are, how
ever, preparing to build a good comfOita,
