The BOARD az EpuCATIoN.-1he Ecery

As proof of this the condition Of our schools
/. gradually improving, ihere Il advancement
and not relrugression in their conduct, and we
believe that they will tavorably compare with
those OF the same grade Ia any other city. The
editor of the Erery Erenin0 knows the above
to be true and yet he does not hesitate to utter
his libels upon the Board and the citizens at
large. His reasoning is as puerile as his con
clusions are unjust. At the recent election
twelve members were elected, a sufficient num-
Der to control the Board In most meetings, and
In another year perhaps an equal or greater mum
Der will have to be chosen. The idea of redu.

ted few aud not the ignorant many should
rule The numbers of nenbersdo not make
the Board unwieldy or unmanageable, aud

fereut schools.
Any attempt 10 reduce the number would be
as unwis as the attack on the Board In unwar-
ranted and unjust. 1t Is easy to find fault, and
We cannot envy tn, disposition that can see
nothing but evil in everything.

POETIC msTICE.

Curses ike chickens come home to
roost. 1t was the rich men of the East
who forced the Acknowledgement of the
freedmen and took the autonomyof the
Southern States out Of the hands and
control Of the white race. Thenegroes
were loyal, while the whites were sus-
piciously Rebel" 1t was New Eng
land ideas, backed by New England
money, used in various sinuous ways
ike the historic British gold," that
influenced continental politics, which
has both inaugurated the ex-
listing widespread corruption in
high places, and has filled
Congress with the present mixed
delegation of Southern misrepsenta-
tives. 1t is therefore refreshing to
hear these rich men of the East, In
their dismay at the initiation tendencies
of Congress, actually bewailing the
absence from its halls of the old
time talent and conservatism of the
South. Some of our exchanges from
that section seem to be looking to the
South as the only possible arbiter be-
tween them and what they consider
the unreasonable demands of the pow
erful West. Already the fact begins
TO dawn on them that they have been
playing dangerous game in destroy
ing the once dreaded Southern power,
and giving over these States wholesale
to irresponsible adventures. Let the
South take the lesson to heart, and in
the day of its coming redemption be-
ware of any measures toward New
England sayoring of its revenge and
hate. We are, for veal or woe, one
people, East, West and South. The
East can no more suffer without speedy
injury TO the others, than can the West
or the South. Monopolies and despot-
isms have temporarily benefited the
East at the expense of the West and
South. In shaking of these evils, we
should not seek to punish the East, but
merely restore the permanent eGullib-
rum of justice. Any readjustment
short of full equity to all sections, will
not be permanent.

CHEAP OFFICIALS.

Many citizens of Davidson county
have probably seen the little circular
issued few days ago over the rather
gloomy nom de plume of AN Old Tax
payer" 1t presents the following plan
to secure the best and cheapest men"
for the county Offices: Let the can
didates make propositions in writ
ing, naming their securities, and
stating what they viii give
the county for the Offices sought;
then let the bids be examined by tax
paying commissioners who shall, by
vote. agree as to the best and cheapest
men. This circular was obviously
written by one who had the best Of in
tentions and felt strongly the neces-
sity of cheaper government; but his
scheme mas the misfortune of not being
practicable. The cheapest aspiranU for
Office is never the best, unless In excep.
tlonal cases. The lowest bidder
would, Inevitably be the man of
most doubtful qualifications. lntelL-
gent commissioners, when they should
come to investigate the bids, would
hardly find better ground to reject a
nam %, than that of being the lowest
bidder. Under une Proposed plan, the
highest bidder would, other things being
equal, be the man of least doubtful
qualifications.
The Legislature itself is largely re-
sponsible for the efficiency and economy
of county government. Wemustlook to
that IN part for reform, though we
must still depend largely upon the Eir.
tue of the people who WELD the ballot,
If we lose confidence 10 them, we lose
confidence in republican government.
If it be their will to elect bad men or
TO suffer bad men to be elected, there
seems to be no republican remedy, ex-
cept TO let the evil cQlminate and create
a reaction.

All existing wealth in whatever shape
would become as eyanescent and IN
stable as the baseless fabric of vision,
so long as patriotism" and loyalty
insist on tie absurd doctrine that Gov
eminent paper shall be legal tender.
In such a chaos, the only means by
which any man, rich or poor, could hold
his own-by which the providentfatner
could hold together his LIES savings
for wife and little ones-by which the
merchant could preserve his capital, the
farmer get the value of his produce, or
the laborer of his wages-would be to
abolish this inherent fraud of illegal
tender" and let all contracts be made
ON a gold basis, even though hquidated
on maturity in paper at its value for
the day.

WHAT THE VETO HAS DONE.

The Chicago Tribune insists that
Grants veto of the Senate currency
bill "has broken the Republican party
and killed both ends" 1t says "the
voice of the party press has become a
second Babel of tongues" and here is
the proof of this assertion:
"Of the Republican party newspapers
In Illinois, so far as heard from, twelve
sustain the veto and ten oppose it. In
Indiana, however, only three sustain it,
while seven oppose it with more or less
heat and virulence. The Terre Haute
Express calls on Morton to make direct
issue with the President, and to appeal
TO the country for support, 1t points
the way TO the Presidency for the Indi-
ana Senator over the road of currency
imitation. The Evansville Journal calls
for Indignation meetings TO overawe
the President. The Illinois State Jour
nal believes that the Republican party
of Illinois will side with Logan
and Oglesby on this issue. The
MiIlcaukee Sentinel opines that the
great West is aroused to the vindica-
ton of its understanding its right to
have a deprecated currency. The
JanesUille Gazette, ON the other han d,
cautions the Washington politicians to
consult the people before they rashly
make war on the President. The Bur
EagtOR Hai0keye welcomes the issue,
and invites the inAationists to make it
without delay if they think it will pay
dividends. The Quincy Wing saga
ciously observes that whatever party
shall build its house on the sandy foun-
dations of irredeemable currency viii
be brought 10 irretrievabIe ruin IN the
end. The DesMoines Register hopes the
Western and Southern members of
Congress will have the courage 10 fight
it out on as obstinate and courageous
a line as the President himself has laid
down. The Rockford Register saysthat
the President has proved again that he
is as formidable 10 the bluaderers who
threaten the credit of the country from
within as he is to the enemies who
would assail it from without. Alto
gether, there has been no such party
gaagoa siIce tie days of the Nebraska
bill"
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-04-29

THE New York Sua, which d hay be
styled the foremost leader of thu politi,
cal independents" thinks the Presi-
Dental campaign OF 1876 will be fought
on the financial issue and forecasts its
effect GA existing parties. Already it
sees indications that among the parties
to be disrupted the Democracy cannot
be counted. 1t says:
To all human appearances there
must be an imitation candidate for the
next Presidency on the part of the
Western and Southeastern Republi-
cans and an anti initiation candidateput
up by the Republicans of the Middle
and Eastern States.
'0f course the Democrats will have
Wit enough to. preserve their own or
gaBizatiOn and run candidate of their
own, and thus a triangular contest will
spring up all over the country, compli'
Gated by the Granger movement; and
he is foolish man who will now under
take to forecast the result. All we
can see plainly is that the currency
question is going to dominate in the
general melee. The Republicans have
raised the ghost, but they will be pow
erless to exercise it, however their
hopes and fears may press them to
make the effort. They have opened
the lid of the box; the giant is out, and
he must be encountered.
