The Methodists had q "Church
Meeting" last Sunday night, and many
names were stricken from the roll
which were improperly on it. No in
formation was gained in regard to
some names. The pastor stated that
the church was in a f1ourishing con-
ditiOn, and that the Sunday-school
was growing. A report was read Civ
ing the financial condition of the
church; two thousand, ninety-three
dollars and twenty-five cents had been
subscribed for the support of the
church this Conference year besides
the weekly collection, which would
prooaoIy increase the entire amount
raised 10 about twenty-three hundred
dollars. Add to this $500 dollars for
the parsonage. aud the station will
have raised $500 for all nurnosas
The report showed, however that tho
had not come up pr0mntIv
with their first quarterage, and lhey
were admOnished to do So. The Ie- |
part of Parsonage Committee showed |
that nearly or quite thousand dollars
is yet unprovided for, and that S30Ois |

| To Hugh 7. Gordon, So Dear Sir:
As IA citizen Of Maury county, I adj
dress you on the Free School question
/ assume that as County Superintend-
ent, you have given this subject a Close
and critical investigation, and are pre-
pared to explain the system and pr4c-
tice OF the State or Government in the
establishment and support of schools at
the public expense. And to give you or
any other advocate and friend oil
the system some clue 20 the notions and
influences by which am prompted in
this communication, 1 state here, that
| am not a school teacher, nor have
been; have no personal pecuniary inter~
est in the success or failure of any school
whatever, either public or private, paw
or free; have been and still am an advo>
cate for education; have expended much
money, labor and thought on the cues
tion, and earnestly desire the best in>
struction for the young if possible, on
proper end equitable principles. No
argument have seen, however, has re-
moved difficulties that have occurred to
me on the subject of the establishment
and support of any system of free shoots
by the civil authorities. One of these
difficulties is to find correct principle
for the establishment of schools at the
public expense. AS many ofour best
men and citizens both North and South
have hseI lite long friends of the sys
tenn, l assume there is to their minds
some clear and we'll established princi-
pies in Government that makes it nec~
eSsarY, or at least justifies this exercise
OF power. 1t would be unjust to sup
pose that it was a mere arbitrary exer-
else If authority to levy tax for this
purpose 1t would be ungenerous to
think it WAS done merely to put some>
thing like one hundred mer and women
over the county into positions where
they could draw upon the treasury tor
support at the public expense. The
friends of free schools have some reason
which they hold to be necessary, or at
least advantageous to the public wel~
fare that justities them in their views
and practices. Please tell us what that
reason is In another form, what is the
principle that justifes a Government in
schools st the public ex-
pense? The writer trusts that YOU or
any other friend of State education will
through the press give clear, distinct |
and full answer TO this question.

GOvERNOn BROWNS PROTEST..

The protest of Gov. Brown, sent yes
terday to the President of the United
States, must necessarily attract great
attention, not only in our own State,
but throughout the country. Although
our State authorities, and especially
the Executive, are making most
earnest and successful efforts to
arrest and bring to punishment the Of
tenders against the laws, yet the United
States Marshal is, we learn, arresting
men who have been indicted in the
State courts and apprehended by the
State authorities, and taking them in
chains to Memphis. What is to be the
result of all this? Is constitutional
rule at an end9 Are there no rem
nants left of the doctrine so dear to
the founders of the republic-the doc
trine of sef-government? What is
now happening in the South may,
in a few years, happen in some
Northern State. When the bull
warks of liberty are gone, where
is the safety for personal or po-
litical rights, either in the North or in
the South? If oar liberties are to be
destroyed by the bayonet, may they not
lose theirs In the same manner? May
not the poisoned chalice be returned to
their own lips?
Let all lovers of constitutional liber-
ty be aroused to a sense of the danger.
In the name of the people of Tennes-
see, both white and black, Republican
and Democrat. we thank Gov. Brown
for his manly and noble protest.
We earnestly trast that Gen.
Grant, as President of the
whole people, and not of a mere par
ty, will look at this question in its true
light, and viii not trample the laws and
constitution under foot at the bidding
of corrupt partisan officials. He now
has it in his power to show that he has
a regard for the rights of the people,
n0d for the constitution of his country
Union and ATnericdaU.

BRAVE MEN WEAR NO MASKS.


The following is a literal copy of the
resolution in regard TO outrages, offer
ed by Gen. W. B. Bate at the reunion
last Thursday of the Second tennessee
regiment, amended by G. B. Rogan
and unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, we are informed through the
newspapers of the country of various acts
of Outlawry in this State; and, whereas, a
portion of our Northern press are improp-
erly seeking to throw suspicion upon the
late Confederate soldiers as being the in
stigatOrs or perpetrators of such crimes; be
lieving that there is no class of ciIizens in
the United States who are more orderly and
law-abiding than the late Confederate
soldiers, we take this occasion to express
our unqualified dsapprObatiOn of any out
rage or personal violence perpetrated
against any citizen of whatever race, color,
or calling; and we believe that there is no
class of citizens IN the South who yield
more ready obedience 10 the laws or who
would go farther to support them and to
suppress outrage. In our opinion, no man,
or set of men, who would go masked and
murder prisoners already in the custody of
the law, ever stood forth unmasked before
the enemies of his country"
Such Is the spirit and manner in
which -Confederates hurl back the
imputations cast upon them by reck-
less public speakers and writers that
they have been reduced by defeat to
the level of crime and outlawry. Ger
tainly no such charge has ever been
made by conscientious and well-in-
formed men, but it has been made by
parties who enjoy the confidence of
many Northern people. 1t was highly
proper that an honorable body of ex-
soldiers, like the Second Tennessee,
should rebuke the offensive Islander on
the occasion and in the manner they
did.
We are sure that the resolution will
command respect with all who are
aware of the gallant and manly record
of the regiment from 1861 to the pres
eft ii ae.-UniOn and american,

IAUsaentabIe Condition Of Her EeOPle
Under KeIlOgE's Ruie.
Throughout the country districts of Lou
isiana, the curse of Keilogg's rule bears
even more heavily upon the people, if pos
sible, than in New Orleans. We are per
mitted 20 make the following extract from
a letter addressed to a gentleman of this
CITY by nlautar living in one ofthe richest
parishes of that State:
..Our State Is really poverty-strickeD.
The charity of the world and Government
has been feeding the people for three
months since the terrible overflow. The
worms ate up our young crops after the
water subsidized, so you may know in what
condition the country is. Many are leav-
ing for Texas and other States, and the
negroes are stealing everything that can be
eaten.
=, do think that the white people of the
Union ought to see that we have an equal
showing with negroes and Scallawags,
which Is all we ask. 1t is acting in bad
faith, it is a violation of all the pledges OF
our oT.sinal compact, it is rank cOwardice
for other States 20 stand of and see our
property, our rights of suffrage, ali the
rights of freemen taken from us ana utter
not a word in our behalf. If Grant has a
right TO force a Governor upon us in time
OF peace and rule as with ignorant negroes,
he has the same right in Tennessee or any
where else. There are none of us who are
not apprehensive as TO the consequences OF
a war of rates, but it is inevitable, so let 1t
come.
"That you may know something OF the
condition Of affairs here, viii mention
that, though l ann Offering my property for
one-fourth of what l was offered for II one
wear AGO. 1 cannot sell it. If l could do so,
/ would leave the State at once"

ATTY. GEN. WILLIAMS has received
a large number of letters from United
States marshals, attorneys and others,
representing terrible state of affairs
in some portions Of Alabama, Tennes-
see. Arkansas. Mississippi and LOuisi-
ana. There is not so much disturbance
as heretofore in South Carolina. Cor
respondents say there is no safety for
colored people. There are no COM
plants from Texas, North Carolina
and Virginia. 1t is supposed in official
quarters that the white mems leagues
for aggressive purposes are widespread
in the South, and therefore matters are
more serious than many suppose, and
require prompt attention. Washington
correspondent the Chicago Times.
No such peculiar institution as a
white mans league exists in any part
of Tennessee. Whatever deeds of viO-
ence may have been committed in GER
tain counties by bands of masked men,
it has yet to be shown that the perpe-
traitors belonged to organizations either
formed for such lawless purposes, or
which extended beyond the immediate
vicinity Of where the crimes occurred.

ALL the leading Northern journals
have had their say concerning the over
throw of the Kellogg usurpation in
Louisiana. Those of an independent
turn agree that, while the complaints
of the McEnery party are all founded
on truth, yet the revolution they have
resorted to is unjustifable and unwise,
since the only logical course for the
Government to pursue is to reinstate
Kellogg. The less partisan of the Re-
publican journals blame Congress for
the whole trouble, and say the Presi-
dent must sustain Kellogg; but the
greater portion of the party press con-
denim the uprising as an indication Of
the old "rebellious spirit" and hence
as proof of the necessity of keeping
the party in power till the war is COM
pletely ended. Very naturally. the
Democratic press charges the whole
trouble to the Administration, and de-
nounces the support Of the Kellogg
usurpatiOn as an outrage upon repub-
lican institutions.

THE recent experiments in the use Of
steam as a propelling power on the Erie
Canal seem to have been satisfactory, and
it is expected that next season there will
be at least twenty steamboats, on that cana.
This will effect practically revolution in
heavy freight transportation, and be of vast
advantage to the producing interests of the
county.

In his haste to exculpate Grant, Attor-
ney General Williams confesses more
than he intended. The Washington
Republican reports him as saying:
''The President has not been governed
by party considerations in these mat
ters, and has oftener decided for Dem
oerats than Republicans in respect to
Southern difficulties" This amounts
to a confession that the Republicans
have oftener been guilty of bringing
on difficulties" than the Democrats.
No Southern man will dispute the point.

THE recent legislation in Northern In
dia for the suppression of female infanti-
eide appears to have been decidedly sue
cessful. The Calcutta correspondent OF
the London Times states the effect in less
than two years: ''The result Of the special
police agency has been this: that in pop
ulatIon of nearly 100000 no fewer than
Il, S54 lives have been saved. You NAV i'm
agine the frighttul dispropOrtiOn Of Il e

there are still in the guilty population only
54,TI2 girls to 10l,OT2 boys"
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1874-09-24

IT is thus put in nutshell by the
Chicago Tribune: "There has been a
good deal of nonsense written on the
Republican side about the reasons
which induced the Federal government
to install Kellogg as Governor of Lou
isiana. The manner ofitwas very simple.
The managers of the party, taking a
hint from olden times, advised Judge
Durell: If Kellogg is Governor, sup
port him; if he is not Governor sup
port him for the party's sake; however,
be sure and support him"
