State and such assistants Offices as may
be strictly necessary.
CIVIL RIGHTS.
The Judge here read the following re,
solution adopted by the Colored Convcn>
ton at Bulls Gap, on the subject Of
schools. which he said was, under the cir.
cumstances one of the most sensible things
which had been done since the war. The
resolution reads as follows:
Earnestly desiring the elevation OF
our race morally, socially and religious
ly, and deeming the education Of our
children essential to the attainment OF
these ends, we favor the present liberal
system OF free public schools In the State
and express our gratitude for the liberal
provisions made for the education of our
children"
He fully endorsed the resolution, BUT
DID NOT ENDORSE THE CIVIL RIGHTS
BILL, and had never been requested to
do so by any colored man IN the district
He thought the colored race should be
educated yea they must have a
full share Of the public funds, an equal
chance with others to share the benefits of
the same, but under their 10 and scpa.
rate control. The colored men as we'll as
all other races should be ambitious to
maintain and perpetuate the identity of
their race and blood. Not to have this
instructive ambition is to be untrue to
themselves and the history of races. As
there are peculiar traits characteristic Of
the individual in every man, so there are
Distinguishing characteristics in every
race. This is Cor a wise purpose and not
by accident. In view Of the multiplied
millions of ends and purposes to be &C.
complished in the great future Of man.
kind it is just as important to- maintain
the identity of races as it is to preserve
the characteristics Of the individual. As
every individual, so every race has q mis-
sion to accomplish peculiar to itself.
The colored race has a great mission to
accomplish in the world which no other
race can accomplish. Africa is to be re
deemed, and their brethren in all parts of
the world are to be gathered, instructed,
christianized and brought up to a noble
manhood. YLe colored people of America
will eventually in the Providence of God
accomplish this great redemption. Then
let the ind nifty of their race be mantain>
ed that manhood in IT as in others may
be developed.

A man possessing the merest in
)~stincts of gentleman will resent the
slightest impatation rejecting on hi;
honor. We are led to make this re-
mark after reading the following which
appeared in the Echo of last week:
''The Flag Pond district, one of the
strongest Republican precincts in this
county, conceded with Judge Buffers
views and repudiated those Republic
a candidates who were supporting q
Civil Rights man for Congress. These
people understand the situation, and
will govern themselves accordingly"
If the author of the above had any
allusion to us as being the "re~pudiated'
we can only say that his low, mean and
contemplate act, in reporting what he
knew to be false is only equaled by
his ~niggardly and jealous disposition.
We are satisfied that Mr.. Bowel did
not write the above, as We believe he
has too much editorial courtesy to
stoop so low.

KNOXVILLE

1t is acknowledged on all hands that
this Institute was a grand success. Over
one hundred teachers enrolled. A nuns
Der Of counties were represented. The
private schools were also fully represen>
ted, Of this feature we are right glad, be-
cause the idea prevails in.some quarters
that there is of necessity a conflict be-
tween the public and private school in>
terest.
The sessions Of the Institute were ex,
eeedingly pleasant. The teachers were
remarkably attentive during the entire
session. We judge they. were greatly
benefited, snd feel sure that new zeal
viii manifest itself in all their schools
A new impulse will also be given to the
public school interest in East Tennessee
Prof. r. l.. Kirkpatrick, of the East
Tennessee University, was President; ]
A. Rayl, Chairman Of the City Board
Vice. President 7. G. Harms. Co. Supt.
Secretary; W. Nv. Bishop, Assistant
Secretary; A. Baird, City Supt., S. A
Craig and t. C. Harms, Executive Com
mittec. These officers were prompt, oh
Lying and kind. The Institute wa
fortunate in securing the services of such
able and accomplished gentlemen to pre-
side over its meetings.
The citizens Of Knoxville were very
kind 20 the teachers and extended t.
them uubOundcd hospitality. Their stay
10 tie city, was very pleasant indeed, and
they viii long remember tho pleasant
associations connected with the Knoxville
Institute.

OFFICE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
J%onesboro', Tenn, July goth, 1874. I
l deem it expedient to issue no Teach.
er's Certificates until after the Limestone
Institute. 1t is expected hat all the
teachers of the county, and all who anti>
pate teaching in the public schools will
attend this Institute.
In as much as the scholastic year closes
on the 31st, day of August, it is natural
to suppose that all certificates expire on
that day. In the absence of further in.
structions from the State superintendent,
| shall so order.
Teachers who have certificates ma y
consider them valid until after a re.
examination. l shall select such times
and places as will be mos. convenient to
the teachers of the several districts.
l wish the teachers to understand that
there is a pressing demand for better
teaching in the public schools. In the
examinations, therefore, I shall keep this
matter prominently before the applicants
for certificates.
Very Respectfully,

The little paper published ION the
hill" is becoming so notorious for dis
honesty that we are compelled to give
it a notice. The following We take
from its last issue:
"Since the result of the election is
known, the people are very anxious TO
know how Mr.. Gillenwaters will touch
on the Civil Rights bill should he
make o speech here next Monday, lie
expressed himself in favor of it in his
'card'' announcing himself a candi-
date for Congress. Will he tell the
people how he stands to-day
We are inclined to believe that the
editor of that paper did not write or
indite the above, but are surprised that
he should remain on the paper and be
compelled to father such statements.
Every man who has read the Judges
"Gard" announcing himself q candidate
knows we'll that the author of the above
has stated an untruth. The author
either has no regard for truth or know
ing the fact has wilfully perverted it.

We are informed that this gentleman
has been elected to the principalship Of
graded school in Knox County, at Powel's
Station. While we are glad to see merit
recognized, we feel at same time that the
county will sustain a heavy loss, in the
person Of Mr.. Perkins. The schools
officers of Knox County, may congratulate
themselves or the acquisition of the SER
vices Of such a teacher as Mr.. Perkins.
We lose one Of our best teachers, but we
feel assured that he will do efficient work

COUNTY FAIR.

The County election is now over and
we call upon everybody to commence
preparing for the Fair. For two years
We were actively engaged in this enter
prize and succeeded by the assistance
of other officers to get up an exhibit
ton equal to any in East Tennessee.
We are still willing to aid 10 this en-
terprise, but must expect those who
are more interested to take the lead.
We hope the proper officers will spare
neither pains or expense to make the
coming exhibition equal if not superior
to our FORMER Fairs. Go to work at

Major Edgar Selye, discoverer Of
oscitlotiaeg mail coaches, has returned
to Monroe, as postal agent, perchance
having heard that an opportunity is
offered for new discoveries in his spe-
cial line. AS a friend of new disco We
ries, we welcome the tsNIajor'' to Mon
roe but we cannot help noticing that
there is singular feature connected
with his appearances in our midst.
When he is really wanted here, he is
apt to be somewhere else; or, rather,
when he is not wanted, he is apt to be
about. 1t seems he ought to have been
here, or hereabouts, last winter and
spring, when postal affairs were excru-
ciatingiy out Of joint; but now, that ev-
erything is working smoothly-riders
all up, roads open and no complaints
the "Major" greets us with his innocent
smile again. We Indignantly scorn
the suggestion that he belongs to the
wood-pecker brigade, or has any inter-
meddling intentions regarding the
next election.

to the first day Of January, 1876, and
said instruments, documents and pa
pers, and any record thereof shall be as
valid to all intents and purposes as if
stamped when made, signed or issued :;
but no right acquired in good faith
shall in any manner be affected by

stamp was SO affixed, the name Of the
person presenting said writing or copy,
the fact that it was thus affixed, and
that the stamp was duly cancelled in
his presence.

From Gov. Hendricks recent speech
we get these eloquent words:
Organizations may be broken and
pass away, but Democracy cannot die.
1t is endowed with the Immortality OF
truth and right. Wherever in all lands
mon aspire to higher, freer, better gov
ernments and purer liberty; wherever
there is the sentiment that government
is made for man and not man for gov
eminent, there is the spirit of Democ-
racy that will endure and yet achieve
mans enfranchisement and elevation.
