Unsectarian Education.

Within the past week an event has oc-
CURED of no small significance in the his-
tory of American education, as will be.
evident from the following facts.
founded, much criticism was excit-
ed by a provision in its character
absolutely forbiddihg its passing under the
control of any religious sect. 1t was in
sisted that a university must be sectarian
to be successful, that it must have behind
it the pulpits and presses of some one relig-
ious sect to give it students and funds, and
to fight its battles. But the friends of
Cornell refused to hoist any denomination
al flag, and placed it on the same bas
with the public school system of the Sta
entirely unfettered by any sectarian con
troll or connection-its Trustees and Profe
sors being chosen without regard to Sc :
or party. The result has been that students
OF every denomination have flock
ed to it in numbers far beyond anti
cipauon--and gifts, amounting to
more than million and a half of
dollars, have been received from men re-
presenting every shade ofreligious thought.
But perhaps the most interesting of ali the
results of this policy is the recent endow-
ment at that university of a" Professorship
OF Hebrew and Oriental Literature and
History" by leading gentlemen in this
City OF the Jewish faith, the most promi-
nent among them being a banker, well
known and respected at home and abroad.
The Trustees of the university have ac-
cepted the endowment, and have appointed
to the Professorship DR.. Felix Adler, son of
the eminent Rabbi of the same name.
DIR. Adler is graduate of Columbia Col
lege in this City, and of the University of
Heidelberg, which conferred upon him his
Doctors degree.
His recent lectures, in which Compare
tive Phil0logy has been broughtto bear on
the problem of oriental history, are well
known to many readers of The Times.
The spirit shown In this free gift of sue
Professorship, and the selection of such
nan, seem to show that we are spproae I
ing the day when the advanced edueati on
of the country will be given not in sectsriaE
coileges, but IN universities where no feast
is imposed save fitness for the position con.

cry respectfully,
Your friend,
w. q. BRowNLoW.

Two weeks ago the Loudon Journal
came out in column editorial, announc-
ing itself in favor of any man for the Leg
islature, Republican or Democrat, who
would vote for Andrew Johnson for United
States Senator. In its issue of yesterday
Saturday, it says:
We have no terms to offer Andy John
son and his men.
We will not support any man to repre-
sent Loudon and Monroe counties, in the
next Legislature. that is of the pig and
puppy breed. We take ours strait-with.
out sugar or water. We want no hybrids
in the Legislature.
Now you see it, and now you don't.

TIE Memphis Aualanche saws

The next campaign in Tennessee will
turn upon financial issues. The questions
of the per centage of taxation, of the mode
of tax assessments, and those involved in
the funding law, will overshadow all 9TH
ers likely to be introduced in the canvass.
We shall hear more of mems fitness for
Office and less OF past partisan affiliations
than ever before. The time has passed for
blind obedience to the mandates of polit-
ical party. 1t is not enough to say that A.
or B. is nominee. Something more is
now required. Measures and men -
the two taken or rejected together-is the
motto.

ARE THE COMMISSIONERS INSANE ?

While the commissioners to locate the
Insane Asylum for East Tennessee were
busily engaged in their work the Press and
Herald prejudged them by repeat
eddy heralding their movements as those
of the "Insane Commissioners" The loca-
ton selected was complete refutation of
this insinuendo" of our contemporary
and relieves the commissioners from any
imputation as to their sanity. But we may
judge from the criticisms made upon the
selection of the commissioners designated
to select location for the Asylum in West
Tennessee, their sanity might appropri-
ately be questioned. They have selected
Humboldt by vote of two to one. The
dissenting opinion comes from DIR. w. f.
Rogers, an eminent physician of MEM
phis. He vigorously objects to Humboldt,
and urges Gov. Brown not to approve the
selection first, because it is near railroad
crossing so that the inmates will be great
ly disturbed by trains, noises, &C.; second
because the water to supply the asylum
comes from spring subject to
oYerflows from the back water
of a creek; third, because the location is
within few hundred yards of Forked Deer
Swamp, several miles long; fourth, be-
cause Humboldt is overrun with mosqui.
toes, which would worry and annoy the
inmates, and greatly disturb their peace o.
mind. We turn these commissioners ovel
to the Press and Herald, as fit subjects fol
some of the loose adjectives it filings about
| so recklessly in its columns to the damage
of the very same gentlemen who selected
the location for our East Tennessee Asy

MoNCURE D. CONWAY writes from Lon
don to the Cincinnati Commercial, among
other things, as follows;
Another American-this time Cincin-
natian-has been for some time in London,
and his face has become so familiar to the
neighborhood of the Stock Exchange that
the city gentlemen speak to him as if he
were one of them. | refer to Mr.. William
Hooper. Mr.. Hooper has been indefati-
gable in his efforts to sell the stock of the
Cincinnati and Chattanooga railway in
the London market, but Notwithstanding
his unwearied persistence, his efforts have
been unsuccessful. This result is definite
ly due to the restrictions of the law, which
cOmpels the stock to be offered at "par,'
Englishmen not understanding risk and
| no discount, and also, even more perhaps
as he informs me, to the unremitting anC
underhand efforts of the enemies of the
| road in question. 1t seems very clear thai
the friends of the enterprise are destined
| to be banked by the very skillful way il
which some parties have wraught upor
the nerves of English capitalists, which
have for some time exhibited an increas
ing sensitiveness where American propo
! sails are concerned.

THEY are specializing already as to who
will be Senator Buckingham successor
from Connecticut. 1t is said that VIM. A.
Barnum, the wealthy iron manufacturer,
will be chosen. Gov. Ingersoll and Ex-
Governor English are also mentioned.
Whoever may be elected will be the first
Democratic Senator chosen since the war.
Senator Dixon, of Connecticut, who was
elected as Republican but Johnsonized
was the last one who acted with the Dem
ocrats.

The great struggle in the House on Fri
duy over Maynard's currency bill was one
of the most heated parliamentary contests
that has occurred for years and it is but
just to Mr.. Maynard to say that in his try
ing position he acquitted himself most
creditably. The control of the bill was
temporarily taken from him on Thursday
by Gen, Butler on the refusal Of the House
70 second the demand for the previous
question, bat it reverted to him again on
Friday through the bad management OF
Sutler, and from that hour to adjournment
he held the House close to its work and
and showed himself an experienced par
Humanitarian, thoroughly competent to en-
gineer through such tempestuous body
such an important measure.

The report of the Congressional Com
nittee on transportation will be made
soon. 1t is said they will recommend that
new surveys be made for all the principal
routes suggested as necessary to carry out
the great objects sought to be attained in
securing speedy and cheap transportation
to the sea of the products of the West and
the South. The committee are of the Opin-
ion that new surveys will be valuable in
bringing out further information as to the
best lines to follow, and that with the adj
dition of the experience Of former surveys,
it may be found possible to devise means
by which a large reduction in the cost of
constructing the routes may be secured.

AT the ball given at st. Petersburg in
honor of the marriage of the Emperor's
daughter to the Duke of Edinburg, they
had a diamond display which was of the
truly Royal style. The newly married
Duchess of Edinburg, in whose honor the
ball was given, wore the famous Russian
diamond necklace worth S2o,000000. The
Empress dress was trimmed with solitaire
diamond buttons, each one of which was
worth $4,000 or 100000. All the imperial
ladies wore diamond crowns. tits thought
there were more diamonds worn that night
than ever before at one time, as they came
from the three empires of Germany, Eng
land and Russia.

THE Nashville Banner says the Shelby
county people are embarrassed about a
name for the new party organization. 1t
says:
The situation is as embarrassing as that
of the young store-clerk who owned kit
ten, and when two pretty lady acquaint-
ances of manageable age came into the
store to buy something, and one of them
said, "Oh, Mr.. Jones, what pretty cat,
and do call it after me call it Julia :" and
Jones, stammering and blushing to his
paper-collar, said he w-wo-would, b
but it warn't that kind of cat I"

THE Washington Republican very per-
tinently says:
If Mr.. Cannon is to be the Delegate, then
let us have the law against polygamy re-
pealed at once, and erase the remaining
twin relic plank from the platform of the
party. If not, let us take adequate meas
ures for the enforcement of the laws of the
United States within the Territory OF
Utah.
Cannon is the delegate elected from Utah.
He is Mormon Bishop and enjoys the
luxury of four wives. His competitor,
General Maxwell, contests his seat on the
ground of his ineligibility. Congress can
not afford to endorse polygamy by admit
ting Cannon.

shall be taxed. Constables are charged
with the enforcement of the act, and are
required to enter into bond for the collec-
ton of the tax. They are to be furnished
with metal tags, with the year and sex OF

all dogs taxed or exempted, and any dog
found off his masters premises without
the tag on his ear, is at the mercy of the
Constable, whose duty it is to kill him.

\ MEETING was held in jacksonville
last Monday, in the interest of a narrow
gauge railroad to be constructed from Telli-
co Plains Ella jacksonville to Sweetwater.
A committee was appointed to memorabilia
the County Court, asking that body to take
action in favor of an appropriation for such
an enterprise. The memorial was present
ed, and the members of the court pledged
themselves to vote in favor of appropriating
fifty thousand dollars. The vote was
unanimous. The Sweetwater Enterprise
says:
"An appropriation of seventy-five thou
sand dollars, by the county, and a shorter
route made through the county, will, in
our opinion, secure the location of the road.
We should not leave anything undone that
will tend even to secure the road through
the county. If one hundred thousand dol
lars is necessary to induce the company to
open up our vast mineral resources, by the
building of the road through the centre OF
Monroe, by way of Madisonville, and on to
| Sweetwater, we believe the appropriation
will be made by the County Court, and
ratified by the people. We must have the

THE sEPTENEAT.i

The "Septennat" is decreed, and Mac
Mahon is to rule France for seven years,
designated at the time of his election.
The Marshalate - is fixed, so far as Mac
Mahon has power to power maintain him
self. France knows now what is expected
of her by. her present rulers. MacMahon
was chosen to rule France by its Assem-
bly, for term of seven years. Ordinarily
such an election has been understood to
mean, for theterm designated, " or until the
Assembly chooses to make a change"
MacMahon was chosen for seven years
by no higher authority than Theirs was
chosen President. We fail to see how his
tenure of Office is more fixed than was
Theirs. The latter gave way when the
Assembly chose to change the form of
government, but MacMahon considers his
election conclusive for seven years.
A few days ago before the Assembly
adjourned the Marshaps Minister was
asked whether the present Administration
considered itself entitled to hold office for
the term for which it was elected. The
answer was that it did, and that it would
resist all efforts to question its authority
So the friends OF Theirs, the Imperialists
and the Bourbops, must bide their time OF
go into power through a revolution.
The conclusion of the Marshal
whether correct or not, will doubtless
work for the best of all in France
What its people now need is rest and ;
just government, If they can have thi!
for seven years their recuperation will b.
wonderful and the result a surprise t.
themselves. Stability of government i
worth more to her now than anything
else, and the issue of greatest importanc
| is not royalst or republican, as it is tran
guilty and prosperity or tumult and pros
tration.

" Let the Democrats and Conservatives
