OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL system

Some months ago, in a series of cdito-
rails, we discussed tire necessity of a
public school system, and now it is APP
propr late to refertO It, rs the merits of the
system will enter largely into the pres
ent canvass. Wefavor uncquivocally the
continuation Of the public schools, and
whatever retrcnehments may be neces-
sary in other departments of St;ltc, we
can not afford to he so economical here
as to leave the rising generation in igno-
rance and crime. The system Of public
schools, inaugurated by the last Lcgfs-.
lature, has proved to be admiralty
adapted to the genius of our people, and
wherever it has had a fair trial, success
has been the result
Complaint has been made that the
State and county SUPPLEMENTARY has
been too expensive We admit the truth
of the argument as regards the county
superintendent, but insist that pay of
no State official has been better earned,
results as that received by our State Su-
perintendcnt The system of county
superintendency in theory is right; but
County Courts in most instances have
paid too high salaries for the work done
In almost every county, experienced cd
ucators can be procured who viii will
ingly examine the teachers for the fees
This would be great saving of the
school fund, and the work would be as
well done as now. Other features Of the
law viii be referred to hereafter, and
changes and improvements suggested.

THATE NDORSEMENE

Several Democratic papers in the State
as we'll as many OF, the East Tennessee
delegates, had succeeded in getting the
people impressed with the idea that they
could not endorse the course of Coy.
Brown. But such is life. viii the editor
of the MOrristOwn GAZETTE rise and ex-
plain? -z -. -..e 50.
The Heguld and Tribune asks us to rise
and explainthe resolution endorsing Gov
Brown. So faras the GAZETTE has sue
ceeded in getting. the people impressed
with the idea that they couldnot endorse
the present Executive, il was in no sense
for dereIictioH of duty or Abandonment
of any principle set forth in the plat
form on which he was elected We felt
deeply chagrined ard disappointed wien
Gov. Brown vetoed the option law; but
that, we are sorry to say, was not rs much
plank in thc platform as We could
have wished it had been for She advanc-
ed civilization of the party nominating
and eIecting him. Other than this, We
have no complaint TO make Of his official
acts, nor have we ever made any. We.
believe his veto was the great blunder
of his public life; but this is only our
opinion, and lie may be able to bear the
result. We do not yet feel satisfied about
The defeat of the option law, but we do
not expect any sympathy or consolation
in our sorrow at its death from the Her
T5d md Tribune or its party.

This number of the GAZETTE closes
the first year of our connection with its
publication. One year ago, yesterday,
we took charge Of the establishment and
started out-with Il determination to make
the paper as acceptable visitor to every
household il was invited to enter as some
experience and. ii large amount of obser-
walton would enable us to command. We
have heard of no serious complaint or
dissatisfaction from our patrons during
this time, of its conduct Hence we feel
chat we have discharged our duties, IF
not creditably, at least satisfactorily
True, We felt at first embarrassed, being
personally a stranger to our new readers
and unfamiliar with their tastes and APP
petites, but that embarrassment has long
since passed away, and we feel no longer
stranger, but recognized, domiciled
citizen-at home for the remainder of
she day. 1t las been, at all times, our
sole aim to promote, under all circtinI4
stances, SUCH interests as conserved most
our own people and section, ana devel-
Oped the most general good to ALL
The twelve months have been spent
most pleasantly by US, and business sue
cess has been ours beyond our most SAN
guine expectations The people of this
community have exhibited a noble, gen
erous and social friendship and encour-
Rgement to us for which we arc most
grateful and for which we now return
cur sincere thanks; only hoping we may
live long enough among them to accom-
plish the good results they deserve.
1t may not be out of place to say that
our subscription list has doubled since it
came into our hands Our advertising
patronage is unsurpassed by any county
paper in the State, and we are literally
patronized in our book and job depart
ment f'
Old friends viii see some improve
ments in this number Of the GAZETTE.
IF any new ones should have the curios-
Tty to sec how we treat affairs and dis
cuss matters the coming year-and the
coming year promises to he fruitful Of
important events-and should also feel
that good newspaper is of value to Il
fimily as well as a'community, and are
disposed to give-us the help Of their sub
scriptions, they may rest assured of get
fling full value for the consideration
We intend to print the neatest paper in
the State, and bring to its matter such
brains as the goods have given us.

LdWLE.ssTEss.

Every honest Tcnncsseeal1 sl1ohld blush
and feel ahashed in contemplating the
deep, damRins disgrace resting upon us
as people, on account of the late riots
and outrages upon the negroes. The
cowardly outrageous murder of the
.coIored school teacher in Trouslalc
county, and the numbering by masked
marauders of the sixteen negro men, who
were taken from the Jail in Gibson coun-
ty, are dark, objectionable blot upon
our. civilization. ,
The elections were over; the excite
mcht was passed, and, in the main, the
negroes were quiet and orderly. Ne
grocs, as well rs white men, commit
crime. But both should be punished by
the same law, and in the same way, for
the sslnlescrime.i The Governor did right
in acting promptly i'm Offering rewards
for the murderers7 but justice will not
be done till the officers of the law, aided
by the citizens, viii bring the guilty
parties to punishment. The negroes
must be protected in all their rights, or.
all our claims to civilization arc gone
Nothing can be more dastardly than
for the stronger to impose upon the weak
err. Nothing can be baser than for the
white race to permit the blacks to be
mistreated in the least.
The cause of humanity, justice, the
peace of society-all our interests, finan-
cially, socially and religiously, demand
that the hw be fully. vindicated. More
than this, if we maintain even a respect
able position in society, such senti-
ment must exist that ruffians will not
dare repeat these outrages

NO DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSION1L
CANDIDATE

We have received from Maj. W. n.
ClarEson, Chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee for this dis
trfct, call for q Convention at Greene
vile, the 1st of October next, with a re-
quest to publish the same. The object
of the call is to nominate a Democratic
candidate for Congress, if it be deemed
expedicnt at that time.
In regard to the propricty Of running
Democratic candidate for Congress in
this race we have not been silent. For
months our position in the matter has
been well known. We have been and
are still opposed to it. Our reasons have
been given; and the same reasons have
rs much force now as thcy had then.
For three successive campaigns the
Democratic party has had candidate
IN the field, and three times has the de-
feat been disastrous The result now
would be even more disastrous Nine
tcnths of the Conservative Democratic
party in Hamblen county, we believe,
oppose a Convention and would not sup
port the nominee OF one Not that they
prefer supporting GillenWatcrs or But
Ter, but because they know if the Dem
Ocratic party nominate man, there wjll
be but one Republican candidate, and
his election will be beyond a peradven-
ture. This has been the sentiment, not
only in uamblen county, but all over
the district. The Democratic party of
Hamblen, but few weeks ago, in con-
tention assembled, adopted a resolution
opposing Convention and opposing a
nomination. We have talked with rep
rcsentative men from almost every coun-.
Fy, and have not found man who ia
vorcd a Convention, except those rho haze
Congressional aspirations, and their special
friends. .E-a.
We blanc no man for wanting to go |
70 Congress- It IS. an honorable Rzpira- |
aion, But when we are fully Convinced,
in our own mind, that there is 10 hope,
VIC would not be as true friend to the |
aspirants by favoring a convention and
nomination as we arc, in opposing. ,.osl
No disrespcct is intended to any one,
End especially none to our excellent !
friend, Maj. Clarkson, IN declining to
give publicity to his call But in this
matter we shall take no step backwards
Our position was deliberately taken and
Enthusiastically proclaimed before any
Democrat announced bis intention or
desire to run. We do not believe ting
Democratic party Of this district desire
any member of lis organization TO make
a martyr of himself just at this time, and
consequently shall give no aid or en-
couragement to tflc proposed assemblage.
As Ne have heretofore remarked, the
race is assuredIy free TO all. Let as
many run Independent as wish. Il is
not your independent men that we are
talking to, for they have extra privileges
But we cannot he induced to favor, as
party measure that which viii inevitably
stir up political rancor and result in dis
astrous party damage.

ers composing the Convention Col.
Dorsey 3. Thomas, a worthy, clever
gentleman, an extensive tanner, and a
distinguished granger, was also before
the Convention, but not as farmer or
granger, rs we ever heard. The very
complimentary vote he received was
from all parts of the State, and repre-
scntcd, as well as we could judge, all
classes composing the Convention, and
about the least of his support was from
the farmers. Gen jackson, mot a. j.,
one of the greatest headlights of the
grangers, opposed Mr.. Thomas all the
time; and we have good reason to be-
lieve that many other grangers did the
same Thing Had the very worthy and
90 distinguished gentleman, to whom the
OttZo0E refers, received the solid support
of all the farmers of the Convention,
added to his vote from other classes, he
would, in all probability, have been our
standard bearer, and as such would have

The Rev Philip NJ Bewley, a local

fishes letter in the last Holston Method
ist, called out by some animadversiOns
of Rev. w. G. Graves, in. the Atlanta

does not ike brother Bewley's status on
the equality of races, and compliments
another ftinerant as doing better work
on the district To which brother Bew-
ley replies:
Well if he is, / say God pity the
District i'm which ne travels, and the
Lord save the NJ. f. Church; for if she
is to be sustained and built up by such
men she Church would go the way

effort to get Graves on consistent foot
