DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Greeneville papers are urging the
Democratic Convention which meets there
On the FIRST day Of October next to make
q nomination for Congress from this Dis,
trict. There is 4 great deal of opposition
throughout the District to this move, and
it is as yet uncertain what the result will
be. So far as The Republican party is
concerned, it can as matter of course
take no part in the management of the
concern. If the Democracy can find a
man who is willing to make the canvass
at his own expense, with a certainty of
defeat before him, they are welcome to
put him on the track. The Republicans
OF this District have a decided majority
which the Democracy very we'll know.
They do not propose to throw away that
advantage for the purpose of electing a
Democrat. At the same time if any
Democrat is anxious to obtain the honOrs(Y)
of o defeat, we shall welcome him to q
hospital political grave. So in this view
Of the case all we have to say is: LET
: slip you dogs Of war; if nothing else will
do you let them howl until they are
hoarse, and we will show you on election
day that those canine warriors are "dead
dogs" not only for the present but for
NIL future time.

Mo LECTED BRANCHEs.-Out of
ninety-seven candidates for admission to
West Point this year, all of them nomi-
mated by Congressman, thirty.two were
rejected because they could not write,
spell and cipher, and because they were
not familiar with grammar and geogra,
ply. A little less attention to snowy
branches in common schools, and more
attention to these humblo but essential
rudiments, would be we'll bestowed.

COUNTY, SUPERINTENDENT,

County Supervision is one of the
strongest features of the present school
law. Deprive the law of this feature
and you rob it Of its power. Take away
the State Superintendent, Ard the law is
deprived Of every particle Of its vitality.
1t is then a dead letter on the Statute.
and consequently worthless. 1t is really
amusing to hear some men talk about a
school system. We can not conceive of
a system that would be able to propel it.
self. Such a thing would be an anomaly
in nature. The whole science of govern.
ment fails to produce a single instance of
such a thing.
A few thousand dollars judicously ex-
pended in the interest of the children of
the State for efficient supervision would
be money well spent. We favor econo-
my, and that too of the most rigid kind.
But is it economy to suffer the school law
to run to ruin. Point to IAN instance
where public schools have succeeded with,
out supervision. The truth is, nothing
less than efficient supervision will ever
bring the school up to the desired stand.
ard. How can the people be cdrceted {?
Some men seem to think that a school
system can be carried on without ex-
pense. 1t is expensive to educate, but
still more not to educate, ignorance costs
the State millions of dollars annually.
Those who oppose supervision oppose free
schools, for State Supt Fleming has de-
clared on several occasions that the Coun-
ty Supelintendency is a strong arm of the
school law. Nothing has done 50 much
to vitalizo the school interest of the State.
Agood County Superintendent is indis-
pensable, he is everything to the schools
of his county.
