WOMEN AT THE ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES =
The problem OF the education OF women Is De-
ing grappled with vigorously. 1t seems tnat
the number OF professors at Cambridge VINO
have opened their lecture rooms and classes to
women has pow become so great that the ne"
female conege built near that place is ooslng
almost all fits students. Young ladies are
Fastening from all parts Of the country to Cam
bridge and taking lodgings. Miss Clough, a
sister of the late Arthur Hugh Clough, has set
,rp sort Of home at Cambridge for these te-
male students, aud her house having over
flowed, some wealthy gentlemen have come
forward with generous aid to build IN tna1
town large collegiate residence, which IS 10
be called Merton Hall, aud is to contain
rooms for very large rumter OF young lao'eS.
When il is completed one will be able 70 an
poupce,that Cambridge University has been
virtually opened to ''persous' of both sexes.
Even more significant in some respects is the
election Of wo.uan as one of the Governors
of University College, London. The election
has Just been held at a meeting OF the members
of the University College, the Earl of Kim,
berly, Vice President, in the chair, ADD result
ed 10 the selection Of ten persons as Governors
for life of the institution That the third UNI,
versity College of Great Britain in Importance
should have appointed lady among It's Lie
Governors is an event that Is calculated TO
produce an impression not limited to Europe.
LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. The Charlottes-
vile Jetfersonan says:
''Oae great evil attending the publication OF
legal advertisements is the uncertainty OF the
pay 10 other States the pay is sent with the
advertisement, or the lawyer conducting the
case assumes the responsibility. Let there be
some such system 10 Virginia, and publishers
will then get their honest dues.

AM ExcelIent Snggestion.

We have noticed in the Courier
Journal some important suggestions
in relation to an elective judiciary and
some proposed reforms in the organic
law Of Kentucky, which will doubtless
have great influence with the people in
their action at the ensuing August
election upon the question of holding
a Constitutional Convention. There
is question which we would venture
to suggest in regard to public officers
which should have its influence on a
proper decision of this matter by the
people Under the present Constitu-
ton the House of. Representatives has
the sole power of impeaching public
officers, and all impeachments shall be
tried by the Senate. This provision.
in ninety-nine cases out of hundred
will prevent impeachment, and secure
civil officers from all danger of re-
moval, no matter how richly they may
deserve expulsion from office. There
are but few men in any community who
can afford to summon witnesses and
take them to Frankfort, and endure
the enormous expenses incident to a
trial before the Senate. We would
suggest that corrupt and incapable
officers who have been guilty Of NAL
feasance in Office like other criminals
should be liable to Indictment and
trial in the proper court in the county
where the offense was committed. The
parties interested having of course the
right to appeal, and to change of ven
ure when necessary to the ends of JUS
tice. The people need additional pro-
lection against corrupt and incompe-
tent officials, and we sincerely hope
that Kentucky will, if Convention is
called, adopt such constitutional
amendments as will protect the people
more etfectually against ignorant and
dishonest officers.-Hopkinsciiie Ne,c

The Rev. John P. McFerrin, the
Station preacher of the NJ. 4. Church,
at Columbia. preached two very fine
sermons for DR.. Plummer, ON last
Sunday. The sermon in the morning
was said to be superb. Indeed, the
whole congregation was perfectly de-
lighted with his effort. At night it
was awful hot, and although he preach
ed very we'll, he could not, in the very
nature of things, preach so easily.
Both sermons were perfect gems. The
one delivered in the morning was about
the Cross of Christ, and We do not re-
member to have ever heard more
beautiful and logical discourse from
that text. At night his theme was
Paul. What glorious man he made
of him. These McFerrins are all
splendid takers, and are born preach
ers. 1t is a remarkable family. 1t
certainly is one of the most popular
families in the Methodist connection.
This gentleman is young man, and
will make the great preacher of this
widely and well known family, if not
in the Tennessee Cenference.-Fronk-

CHANGE OF FRONT.


The Radical leaders who most zeal
ousiy supported the social rights enor-
nifty, as did Maynard and Barber Lew
is, are modifying their positions by ex-
pressing a desire that the mixed
schools feature shall be stricken from
the bill. This they do, from no motive
of respect for their own race, but that
the negro may reap the fruits of
the white mans money and enter
prise. What is the difference, moral
~, between mixed schools and mixed
congregations in churches, miscellane-
Gus intercourse in theatres, hotels,
sleeping cars and steamboats,? The
difference to the Radicals, is that the
whites can secure themselves against
the degradation and social disturb
ances incident to such schools, by hav-
ing none of them, but in the other
cases the negro who fails to meet a
ready admittance and cordial welcome,
can sue for damages in a federal court,
where conviction is a foregone conclu-
sion and the penalty fixed, not by the
rIghtful authority of the States, but
by Congress, in the exercise of usurped
power.
The prime consideration with these
worshippers at the shrine of the god
like negro, is not what the poor white
trash" may loose, but what the negro
may gain, in the way of education,
and the money that may be extorted
from the whites, in the way of penal
ty, for not throwing off their refine
ment and self-respect and lowering
themselves to an exact level with bru-
tai ignorance and habitual vice. The
negro may be the gamer by the enact.
ment of the law, in every aspect of the
question, the whites must be the loos.
ers and to an extent not appreciated
perhaps, even by Its most intelligent
advocates. Let no man be cheated by
the idea that the social rights bill car
be sugar coated by the omission of ;
single item from the disgusting com
pound, not only will it still be an un
4 mittigated social curse. but a politica
agency in the erection of a despotisn
upon the ruins of popular liberty
The negro is mere pretext for Radica
usurpation, aud when the empire il
established, he will sink SO far out o
sight as citizen. be SO utterly impov
erished and neglected, that he vii
look back upon his condition as a well
fed slave, as the halcyon days of hi
existence.

TnoUGH the new s is a week old, W.
cannot refrain from an expression OF
our exultation, over the signal victo-
ries of the white mans party over the
black-aud- tan, in Memphis aud Shelb
county. and in Nashville and David
son. Those localities were the battle
ground of the opposing forces, in their
firsC we'll defined contest for suprema-
cy. The lesson which those victorie
teach are, first that the whites know
their strength and. second, that it will
be their own fault, if they do not retain
their supremacy, so indispensable to
the maintenance of law and orderan.
the preservation Of the few valued
privileges saved from the ruins of III,
government. Il is the first time the
whites have ventured to defy tn,
blacks and their pale-faced allies,
whether the latter appeared as avowed
Radicals. or thiuly disguised under an
other name; that no court was paid tn
the sable voters whose habit is to sci.
their votes to the opposition candidate
and then vote the Radical ticket. A
few such examples, aud the carpet
bsggers and scallawags will find their
M ssion ended In Tennessee, and their
longer stay neither profitable nor
agreeable. Then will the negro learn
that the interest of the white man is
his interest, chat if he would prosper
ne must adopt soSae other calling than
politics and that he can make better
Giving and better character by hon
est labor than by any change OF con-
dition likely TO result from the passage
Of the Civil Rights bill. Until he can
be content with all the rights which
the laws give to tie Ehites, he can not
prosper. and Instead OF being a pros
porous and respected citizen, he will
be the ragged slave Of some thievish

A Lady Makes Discovery Important
to Tobacco Growers.

The idea prevailed in olden times
that women were only fit to attend to
domestic affairs, such as sewing, cook
ing, and attending to the children.
Under higher state of culture the
women have developed capacity for
scientific investigation and discovery
that proves them equal in mental ca
pacity to the lords of creation.
Just now, when tobacco plants are
scarce and hard to procure, and when,
for want of a season to set out plants,
the few that were in the beds have run
to what are known as long shank
plants, distinguished lady of Bal
lard county has made discovery that
must prove of great utility. She cut
off about an inch of the main bud of
one of these plants and set it out,
when, to her delight, the bud took root
and produced a beautiful plant. We
have one of the plants in our Office,
where it can be seen, with seven fine
leaves on it. The main root is about
an inch and half long, and shows at
the end where it was broken off from
the original plant.
Mrs. Oscar Turner is the lady who
made this discovery. which may prove
of great value to tobacco growers

THE GAINESVILLE correspondent of
the Memphis Appeal-unintionally we
are sure-does us great injustice, by
misconstruing our intentions as he iu-
fers them from the brief notice We
made of Hon. Dorsey B. Thomas, as
a candidate for Governor The truth is
that the CHRCNICLEwas one of the first
papers in Middle Tennessee, to con-
cede to the western Division, the right
to name the next candidate for Cover
nor, and this was done in the interest
Of harmony, not to encourage, or re-
cognize the sectionalism upon which
the claim was avowedly based. And
at the same time that we conceded Ii, we
distinctly suggested that West Tennes-
see should hold convention and in
dicate the man of its choice, and this
we did in the interest of peace alone.
1t has been our habit to notice. in re-
spectful terms, the individuals pre-
scented as a candidates and if we over
looked any one, it was done inadvert-
emily. We have had no special ia
vorite among those mentioned, having
repeatedly declared that our favorite
would be the nominee of the State
Convention and to whom alone, we
pledged our support. We have been
lctuated by no selfish feeling in refer
ence to filling the Gubernatorial
chair, and were surprised to learn that
such a charge was preferred against us
for, in every article upon the charge is
made, we expressly reiterated our po-
sition as taken several months ago

The Tobacco Trade.

The market for tobacco continues to
rule active and stiff. stimulated, prob
ably by the continued bad reports of
tobacco prospects in Virginia aud
Kentucky. 1t is now admitted that in
Western and Southern Kentucky the
tobacco crop is complete failure. and
it is feared that good deal of distress
will be the result among those who
make its cultivation almost an exclus-
i've crop. In Virginia, if reports are
to be relied upon the yield will also be
very much reduced, so that those of
our Missouri growers who are fortu-
nate enough to make large crop, and
sufficiently industrious and painstaking
to save it in goOd'condition, will make
some money this years.. Louis

White Teachers anu Pupils Placed I'm.
der Negro Trustees in the Capital of
the Country.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10-Secretary
Bristow and Attorney General Will
Jams are expected to return to the city
this evening or tomorrow morning.
Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Saturday the new Board of District
Commissioners proceeded to consoli-
date the school boards for the white
and those for the colored children
into one board, composed of fifteen
persons, of whom FIVE are negroes,
with the notorious Fred Douglass at
the head. At least two of the others
are known to be favorable to mixed
schools. This new order creates much
dissatisfaction. 1t subjects white
teachers, both male and female, to the
order and supervision of negroes, and
is justly regarded as the preparatory
step to the final act of mixing the two
races in the schools. This proceeding
Is the york Of Messrs. ketcham and
Denuison. The other commissioner,
Mr. Blow, was absent, and is nos re-
sponsible for what vas done.
