COL. JOHN M. FLEMING.


One of the most signal evidences OF
President Grants smallness of stature is
the fact that he appoints small, insignif-
cant and unknown men to the highest pO-
sitiOns of trust within his Gift. This is
one Of his most significant departures from
the traditions Of the past, and from it has
flowed many of the evils of misgovernment
which has cursed his reign. A marked
contrast to Grant in this respect is the con-
duct of our Governor, John c. Brown. In
his appointment of Comptroller of the
Treasury and State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, he selected two Of the
very ablest and most competent men for
those positions, and with special reference
to the talents required. We have known
Col. John NJ. Fleming for many yeaTs-Our
acquaintance began when he was teaching
in an academy. His career as a teacher
was brilliant and successful; and We are
not afraid to say that he is one of the most
accomplished scholars in all the land.
We remember well the graceful and
scholarly articles he used TO contribute TO
his county paper; they were classic in their
purity and beauty. Col. Fleming has
made an excellent Superintendent, so far
as we have seen and heard, and no doubt
Gov. Porter will appoint him to the same
position. During the past year, prominent
Northern educators spoke in high terms Of
praise of the school system of TenneSSe,
and much of the success Of that system is
due TO the able and efficient manner with
which the State Superintendent has con-
trolled and managed it. He has won the
confidence and esteem of the teachers. He
took the office when its duties were new
and untried, and required not only fine ex-
ecutive ability, but patient and unremlt-
ting toll. Everything is running smoothly
now, but il would not be so with new
man. 1t is not only due to Col. Fleming
that he hold the Office another term, but it
will be better for the Office itself to be in
charge of an experienced man.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-12-11

nish good and reliable laborers for the
tillers of the soil, and also to do and
perform any other legitimate service
for which demand may be made by
citizens of this or adjoining States, af-
fording planters and others invoking
their aid a guarantee that they get
trustworthy laborers, who will not de-
sert them without good cause. They
desire the Endorsement of all good men,
and especially the press, In this enter
prise, and they well deserve it; for
aside from the fact that they abandon
the field of politics for the field of hon
est labor, it tends to afford to the South
the one thing most needfnl-sufficient
good and competent labor
without which our once blooming and
prosperous country will, ere long, be-
come a waste and a bowling wilder
ness, and starvation not only strike
down thousands Of the colored race,
but will invade the precincts where
once afiuence and luxury prevailed.
Therefore, as a benefaction to both
races, and to our common country, we
cordially indorse the movement and IN
woke the cooperative assistance Of
everyone who has at heart the good of
the South, and we bespeak for our col
ored friends the encouragement of the
press and the public, and more
especially the Patrons Of Husbandry,
to whom it will prove a powerful
auxiliary in the effort of all good col
ored men in establishing and conduct
ing labor agencies throughout our
country, believing as we do that it is
the best method for utilizing the labor
of the colored people of the South, to
say nothing of the untold advantages
to be derived by them.
