The School question.


In asking the attention of oul
readers, in this community. to the
communication. published in this pa
per, from "One of the Fraternity
in regard to our Female Academy
we feel that our correspondent has
not said enough and we propose tc
add few thoughts for the consider
alton of our people.
During the past year, we find thai
more than one hundred young ladies
and gentlemen, from a distance, have
been brought to Morristown by the
male and female schools that have
been established here. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose that. upon an
average, each one Of these young
ladies and gentlemen have expended
among our people for board, clothing,
tuition and hernecessary expenses,
not less than three hundred dollars
during the year; making an aggre-
gate Of thirty thousand dollars add
ed to the trade and business OF
our town, which we would not get
were it not for our schools. Then,
not to speak OF the educational adj
vantages that these schools give to
orr OzCu children, and to only consider
them in a business, nooney-0aobing
p int of view, is it not clearly the
duty, a1,d to the interest Of erery ana1a
in our community to aid, by every
honorable means in his power, the
Principals of the schools, in their
efforts to sustain first-class educa-
tional institutions in our midst. We
dare say that no one will disagree
with us upon this point. Then we
should, as a community, unite in the
work and concentrate our efforts to
help our teachers. Divisions on this
question should not be allowed to
spring up. Our schools should be,

say that they hare been, conducted
with a view to accomplish the great

while, perhaps, some mistakes of a
trifing nature have been made in
their management; yet. in the main,
we cannot call to mind any school
the conduct of which has been more
regular and consistent than
has been that of our Morristown
Indeed, we have been for
tunate in having gentlemen at the

The Oranges.

The Oranges, or farmers in Ten
nessee, will hold a State convention
at Humboldt on the ID of July. AS
their proceedings are conducted Sc
cretly the public will know only so
much Of them as may be selected for
publication after the manner of the
Know-Nothing lodges Of 1866.
Commenting on this latter fact. the
Memphis AUaIanche remarks with
some force:
Secret political societies are so
obviously Objectionable, that we
trust the good sense Of the farmers
will at once remove the badge of Sc
cresy. and every other thing in con-
nection with their lodges that has
any appearance in reality or other
wise to the Loyal Leagues or Ku-
Klux conclaves. The Oranges will
be, if not already, political machines,
and the merit of political machines
is open doors with clean ropes and
pulley, worked by hands whose bod
les to which they belong may be seen
of all men,
So far the Oranges have not been,
to an alarming extent, the prey OF
the onice-seeber. but we take it for
granted that. whenever the day for
naming candidates arrives. the roll
Of every lodge will be crowded with
ofice-seekers ready to sacrifice them
selves in public places at a sound
price, with the usual perquisites
thrown in.

The CHOLERA.

Dispatches from Nashville to Sat
urday morning, report the cholera
as on the increase in that city. On
last Wednesday the Banner reports
fifty-two deaths in the city. on the
preceding day, Of which forty were
from cholera. A special dispatch
from Nashville to Saturday morn
ing's Chronicle is as follows:
THE total number of deaths to-
day are seventy-nine, of which sew
enty were from cholera. The re-
port was made up to P. NJ, from
the several undertakers. The dis
ease is alarmingly on the increase"
The Union and american publishes
a table giving the number of deaths
from cholera in the eleven days end
ing with the 18th inst, at POS other
diseases 81; total 262.
A private dispatch, received in
Knoxville, on Friday, from Mem
phis, from reliable authority, an
nounces that the cholera was yester-
day declared epidemic and the NOR
tality was on the increase. In the
shops of the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad some twenty men had
quit work on account Of sickness in
their families. 1t is not probable
that the exact number of deaths can
be ascertained.
In GreeneviIIe, there have been
sixteen deaths from the prevailing
disease. Our latest advices from
that point are to the effect that the
disease is abating, and hopes are en-
tertained of its disappearance.
The cholera has made it's appear
ance in Gallatin, and mp to Friday
last there had been lifty-fve deaths,
mostly from cholera, in that town,
since the 1st of June.
There were several cases of chol-
era, and several deaths therefrom,
at Lebanon, during last
week.
Dispatches from Nashville to the
Knoxville papers, Of Sunday morn
ing, gave the number of deaths on
Saturday, in the first named city, at
mostly negroes.

Wheat Items.

The Knoxville Chronicle, Of Tues
day morning, says: a letter receiv-
ed by one of our produce merchants
from a milling establishment in
Rome, Ga. says that there will be
only a half crop Of wheat harvested
in North Georgia.
Another letter from q milling
establishment in Atlanta, Ga. re-
ceived by the same parties, states,
III answer to o proposition to engage
wheat for them, that their agents in
Middle Tennessee write them that
they can engage new white and
prime amber at S1,25 with 4 cents
difference in the freight in their
favor, and were Of the opinion that
East Tennessee wheat would be quo
ted too high.
From different parts Of the coun-
try we learn that the wheat crop
will turn out by far better than has
been expected. Although thin and
scattering on the ground, yet the
wheat is Of very fine quality.

The Franking Privilege.

A Washington dispatch says, from
the tone of the letters sent here by
members eff Congress in reference to
their public documents, which they
will loose the benefit of if not sent
off before the 3Oth of June, it may
be very safely concluded that the
franking privilege will be re-enacted
in some form or other probably be-
fore the end of the next session.
Members write that their constituents
will not be satisfied to dispense with
the public documents, and that they
are not willing to pay postage on
them. A plan is proposed limiting
the ranking privilege to public
documents. the name of the work to
be stamped on the wrapper. This
will exclude correspondence, quack
advertisements, and private ward
robes

20 the Point.

The Memphis AraIanche says,
and says truly, that-"Journals
friendly to Congressman, who after
denouneiBg the back salary bill as
a robbery. pocketed their share of
the plumber. cannot do their pets
a poorer service than by attempting
n defense. 1t is a good rule for q
man to keep his mouth shut when he
has nothing so say, and the Congress
man, who, with a grand flourish,
seeks to lay pipes for the future by
donating his share of the swag to
some public charity or religious or
educational corporation, confessed
by the act that he is trying to bene-
fit himself by the use Of money his
conscience or his fear of public opin-
ion does not permit him to keep for
his own purposes"

BADLY Hurt.

A man by the name of Sinor-a
section boss on the Railroad four
miles below this place, on the Chat
tanooga road, was badly. if not Sc
riousiy hurt on Monday morning last,
by a man named George Harvey,
who hit him upon the head with a
heavy bludgeon, some three times,
fracturing his skull in one or two
places. On Monday evening Sinor
was lying speechless and his life was
despaired Of Harvey had not been
arrested up to our latest adviees.-

Ex-Presidcnt Johnson.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton City, to the Louisville Courier
Journal, says:
GA prominent Tennessee Republi-
can politician reports ex-President
johnson slashing around. with an eye
on the United States Senatorship,
and having poor prospect for that
position. unless he can make an alli-
ance with the Republicans, which
the same gentleman says the ex-
President is now trying to arrange.
A special friend of Mr.. johnson says
the plan is to make him Governor
first, and then Senator, both of
which he regards as quite easy to be
fixed"

Our Female School.


1t is gratifying to the friends of
education in our midst to know that
the Female Academy, under the care
of Prof. Summers, has just closed
one of the most successful years in
its history.
We feel it due to the interests of
/ education, as well as to the untiring
1 Iabors of Mr.. Summers, to state
some facts in reference to the past
history of the Academy, and deduce
what seems to US to be the duty of
every one in this community in the
premises.
Six. years ago, Mr.. S. took charge
of the school. The patronage from
the first was good. A number of
young ladies from other communities,
which had no local schools, were in
attendance. As those localities estab-
lished schools of their own, cur school
has still been full. At no time, du-
ring the past six years, has there been
room in the school building for many
more pupils than were in attendance.
All this has been done without any
additional expense to the citizens Of
M0rristown. We assert that no town
in the State has been so blessed with
/ a good patronage for its schools with
as little expenditure of money by its
citizens, as Morristown. In all 9TH
er tewns, where the schools have
been at all respectable, the teachers
have received a bonus from the
County Academy Fund, and the citi-
zens have paid annually from five
hundred to two thousand dollars from
their own pockets for repairs and
improvements in school buildings.
Facts will establish the truth of this
statement. All know this has not
been the case here. The teachers
have depended alone upon tuition
fees for a living, and have from their
own private means made all the re-
pairs and improvements on school
property, except the fence and
shrubbery around the Female Acad-
envy. Now, what have we? A con-
slant school in which our daughters
can receive a thorough education,
and be under our control; none of
the harrassing anxiety about them in
boarding schools. And more So
ciety has constantly improved; the
moral tone of our people has been
elevated every year.
But our school facilities must be
enlarged, or our educational interests
will lag. We must have more room
in the Female Academy, with regu-
lar boarding privileges near at hand,
or private enterprise will be COMPEL
ed to develope means whereby room
and accommodations may be had to
meet home wants and the boarding
patronage naturally belonging to
this place.
The Masonic Lodge possesses the |
ability to meet this want. Masonic |
charity could not be better exempli-
fed than by establishing and perpet-
uating a school for girls at Morris
town. Already having the nucleus
of a good school, and having in its
a majority of the good |
men Of all parties and denominations,
it can successfully carry on great |
educational work here.
All good men will rally to the sup
port of the Lodge, if the proper
steps be taken in the proper spirit.
let US be up, and come to
the work in earnest.

A Ten Thousand Dollar Cow

1t has often been said that cows,
especially milch cows, never sell for
as much as they are really worth !;
but A. j. Alexander, Of Woodburn,
Woodford county, Ky, sold on
Thursday. the 10Th of May a two
year-old heifer, known as The
Duchess of .Airdrie Ky" to go to
England, for $4,000 which may be
regarded as a sum not very far be
low her real value. She is said to be
"a beautiful specimen of beauti-
full race and it appears that the
English breeders, having heretofore
parted with all their finest cattle,
are now determined to have some Of
them back at any price.

The Country Press.

Several years ago, we heard a
distinguished gentleman remark in
a lecture, that the appearance of the
churches, school-houses and grave
yards, were the signs of civilization
by which, in travelling, he estimated
the character of different neighbor-
hoods. We are inclined to think
that the reception given to the local
newspaper is a better index to the
degree Of intelligence than anything
else. The newspaper is the very
lungs Of a community purifying it's
life currents, and giving expression
to it's views 1t is therefore with
much interest that we every week
look over our country exchanges, for
in them we find the character of the
people faithfully photographed. In
examining our books. we generally
find that where the local paper pre-
sents a healthy. prosperous appear
ance, the RmuL San has a good circu-
lation and in our travels, we have
never failed to see in such places, DR..

name of King, wife of James King,
living near the banks of the river. at
the foot Of Gay street, was in dy-

Horrible Accident.

A terrible accident occurred near
Philadelphia, on the E. T.. Va. &
Ga. r. R., on Friday last. Two
young women were walking along
the track when the down train came
along; the whistle was sounded and
they stepped out of the way, but
one of them dropping something on
the track run back to get it, when
she was struck by tie train, the
wheels running over and mangling
her in a terrible manner. She was
still alive at last accounts, but little
hope of her recovery

The '-IDdia-rubber hustle is again
heard from. This time it was n
Brooklyn young lady who was thrown
from her carriage coming down the
hill from Prospect Park. She made
ninety-seven and half bounces in
all, and was finally rescued, by a
hook and ladder company, from the
top Of telegraph pole, where she
had stuck in attempting to com

A curious proposition has been
introduced into the Ohio Constitu-
tional Convention. It is to estab-
fish what is called the principle of
recall in base of members of the
Legislature that is, permitting the
majority Of any constituency to re-
call and dismiss their Representative
from the service whenever they get
tired of him, whether his term has
exDired or not.

We learn that gentleman near
Saltville. Va, recently lost in three
days time $500 worth of sheep killed
by the dogs. This is an old story,
but we confess. ourselves amazed
that any county should tolerate ours
that make war on focks. If the law
will not protect the farmers they
should try the wholesome. jurispru-
dence Of Judge Lynch, and put all
stray dogs to death without the bene-
fit of clergy. It is "a shame, however to
our Tennessee Legislature that we
should be constrained to make such q
suggestion, and we hope at the next
session some wholesome law will be
devised to protect our stock-raisers
against the ruinous losses to which
they are now subjected. What would
a cultivated English farmer say to
this story? How long would he
think Of settling in country where
bob-tailed possum dogs are more
esteemed than SouthGown sheep?

Examination.

The annual examination of the
Morristown Masonic Female Acade-
my began on Monday, the 10th inst,
and continued through the 18th.
The usual interest was manifested
by the patrons, citizens and friends
generally. All were highly pleased
with the thoroughness and skill of
the pupils. Both teachers and stu
dents have labored diligently, as was
evident from the unparalleled salts
faction given on examination. We
have attended several similar exer-
cises of this school, which have al
ways been entirely satisfactory, but
we must say that the last were the
best ever brought before the public
of Morristown. Wednesday night,
Thursday and Thursday night, were
occupied by the Primary, Interme-
diate and Senior classes, respectively.
These exercises consisted of original
compositions, essays, ETC., highly
creditable to the various depart
ments, being interspersed with ex-
cellent music, such as Miss Williams
is competent to get up. Upon the
whole, we were better entertained
by these exhibitions than we ever
were on any former occasion.
We are pleased to find the grade
of scholarship, in this institution,
still progreSsiUe, and to know that it
is noao superior to that of many
schools of a higher name and a
would-be better reputation. We
i. fully endorse the Principals ideas
of education, which are to educate
thoroughly and prepare young ladies
for the real practical duties Of life.
The next session will commence
the first Monday in September. We
hope all the students will return,
and that parents and guardians will
consult the best interests Of those
under their care, and give still
more liberal patronage to so worthy
an institution. PHILONIATH.
