Montgomery Resolutions En-
dOrsed.
To the Editors of the Columbia Herald:

To the Editors of the Columbia Herald:
The Montgomery resolutions, as publish
ed in the HERALD of the 29th of May,
will no doubt meet with hearty response
from the people, for they embody the
true spirit. They say that it is the duty
of all good citizens to make a united ef-
fort to secure the most competent and
reliable men for Office, and further, OPP
pose reputation, yet making taxation
equal and uniform, and opposing the
array of one race against another. 1t is
the sixth and last resolution that meets
our hearty and earnest commentator,
for it recognizes truth, often overlook
ed and discarded by politicians. 1t reads
as follows: THAT the agricultural and
mechanical interests of our country are
the foundation of its prosperity, and that
wisdom and justice demand that these
interests shall be protected against the
exactions Of monopolies, and should be
fOstered by judiciOus legislation
If these sentiments were carried out
by legislators, the farmer and mechanic
would have no right to complain, but our
legislatures do not legislate for this class
of our community; their time is taken
up in matters of more Importance TO the
mOnied men of our country, the ShylOcks
of the community. The 10 per cent law
IS the most ruinOus measure and works
more harm against the prosperity of our
State. than any financial measure that
was ever placed upon oqr statute books.
The last legislature would not repeal 1t,
thereby placing themselves on record as
opposed to the interest OF the farmers
and mechanics, against whom 1t mostly
operates and in favor Of the Honied
rings and monopolies that generally con-
troll these legislative bodies.
The people in voting for their candl-
dates for the legislature, should know
well the men an whom they are putting so
important trust. They should inquire,
is he capable, is he honest, will he repre-
sent the farmer and tee mechanic, does
he know their wants, has he the nerve,
knowing the right, to dare maintain 1t?
In the person of F. A. BURKE, candidate
for the lower house, the people have man
in whom there is no guile. He is one
of natures nohlemen, lone of the people
an honest man, q Christian man.
known for his unwaveTIng integrity, and
ability TO comprehend the issues of the

MARTIN FEMALE COLLEGE.
OutcrOpPinGs OF "a Brilliant
Future.
From the Pulaski Citizen.


The first annual examination of the
pupils OF Martin Female College com
nienced at the College in Pulaski on Mon
day Of last geek and concluded in the VI.
Z. Church on Friday night, an approprI-
ate and scholarly cOmmes cement sermon
having been preached on Sabbath by Rev.
+. G. Wilkes, of Maury county. The Tras-
tees and patrons of the school were great
~ gratiied with the results of the first
term Of the Institution. The pupils ex-
hi5!tcd thOrOughuesE Of training that
reflects great credit upon the Iac4lty Of
the College. Indeed too much could not
be ssid in praise Of the course of study
and manner Of traiG;ag adopted by the
faculty of the College, and O. the So Il
and talent of the Principa! and assistants
themselves in utilizing the means a. 'Gs'E
command, The exercises throughout
gave evidence that the pupils had not
been drilled upon few lessons and promo
sItlons just for the occasion, but the ex-
animation extended into all the details
and embraced all the text books that had
been used during the term.
The exercises of the week give IN
II IStakahle evidence of the prosperity of
the College, and the expression of salts
faction is general among all who witness
ed and heard them. They served to
place the institution upon a surer basis.
giving evidence as they did of faultless
management on the part of the Principal
and assistants, and developing an inter
est among the people by awakening them
more thoroughly to the merits of the in
stitutou. We congratulate the faculty
upon the very able showing they have
made we congratulate the Trustees upon |
their good fortune in securing the ser
vices of so able a faculty, and we con-
graduate the people upon the indubitable |
evidence just given that we have in our |
midst an Institution second to none |
abroad. We agree with Dr. Young in his
opinion that we have now no occasion to |
send our daughters abroad to give them a /
thorough education.

REMARKS So.

We have established 1rst-class school of
ten years standing, inferior to none in Ken
lucky, for the education of young ladies, on
plain, practical principles, devoid of unnec-
essary expense aud superficial display. l am
located in a healthy portion of the country, on
a large and fertile farm, and give my whole
attention to the supplying of the household
with every provision necessary for health and
comfort. raise large supplies OF corn, wheat.
hogs. cattle, vegetables and fruits; canned
fruits are always prepared for winter use.
Being thus situated. l am able to give
better salary to competent teachers, to fur
nish your daughters healthier food, and
charge you more moderate prices than you
can find IN any school of like advantage in
any State in the Union. Every years ex-
perience teaches the importance of having
girls removed from the many disturbing in
fuences incident to school in town or
city. Many thanks are due the public for
liberal patronage during the past years, and
by faithful discharge of our dnties through
out the coming ones, we hope to merit and re-
ceive renewed proofs of confidence and sP-
probation.

so paid into the treasury of the State
under legislation prior to 1873.
We quote from the Apqeak
There is not to-day in the State of Ten
nesssee any party, and, perhaps, but few
individuals, who are openly and avowedly
in favor of repudiating any portion of
the State debt. In 1870, when the State
had been but recently restored to the
keeping and care of the Democratic par
ty, and the food-gates had been closed
against the further issuance of State
bonds and the further extension of State
credit, the people of Tennessee, with
some show of financial honesty, might
have stricken from their list of indebted
ness thousands, yea, millions, IN bonds,
which the fraud and mismanagement of
their predecessors had scattered broad
cast throughout the money markets OF
the world, and in the act been cOunte-
nanced and commended by the financial
world But subsequent legislation,
whether wisely or unwisely wrether as
matter of good policy or in the absence
oft, has rendered legitimate the whole
of the Indebtedness, and our creditors
seizing the favorable opportunity, have
returned to the State large majority OF
the bonds issued to irresponsible, unsuc-
cessful and imaginary railroad corpora
tons, until the fact to-day is that the
bonds which Tennessee might IN 1870,
( in consistency and good faith have re-
| pudiated and compelled, have almost oil
| beer paid into her treasury, and her debt
! to-day is composed almost wholly OF
| bonds against which she has no defense
| to offer, and which she can refuse to pay
upon other ground than her own poverty.
| In order that we may be more explicit,
and present the matter in tie clear hight
| of facts and statistics, we hate taken the
| paints ascertain what proportion OF the
| bonds issued to irresponsible, and we
might say fraudulent, railroad corpora
| tons, have found their way into the State
treasury. The following table speaks
| for itself:
Received. in Treas'y.
railroad ............ysl, l65,OOO sl,089, 00G
| Southern railroad ......... $4,000 $4,000
r-e ern North Carolina. 100000 8OS,OOC
s2O88,OoO sl,sl9yOOO
These roads upon which money was
most profgately expended are given as
mere indications of the proportion IN
which the doubtful bonds of the State
| have been crowed into the treasury. The
| total of bonds issued TO these three roads
| amounts to g, 0S9, 900, of which the State
| has taken back into her treaury $l,9l9,
| 900, and there are now outstanding only
| $3.50, 900 The question as to whether
we should repudiate these bonds is prac-
/ tically settled, and so we find it in refer
/ ence to all the bonds issued by the State
since the war.

SESSIONS VACATIONS, &C.

The Fall session will open on the first Mon
day in September, 1873. The Distinguished
reputation of the teachers, and the superior
advantages of the institution are facts too
well established to require additional COM
ment.
The college is located on a large aud fer
tile farm. The abundant crops now on hand
enable the proprietor to offer rare induce
ments to all who desire to educate their
daughters st a home institution, which aft
fords superior facilities for physical. intel
lectual and moral culture and excellent OPP
pertunities for a complete English education,
Ancient and Modern Languages, Art, Music,
etc., thoroughly taught. All its pupils become
members of the family-none boarding else
where.
The College is situated in a remarkably
healthy portion OF the country, three miles
Southeast of WOODBURY., a village on the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, midway be
tween Bowling Green and Franklin, KY.
