I'm vindicaiion of Gov. shepherd.

WAsHINGTON, July Is, 1874.
To tie Editor Of The StGr--In Justice TO Hon
a: Il. Shepherd, late vice-pTesident b. p.
Works, and later Governor of the District OF
Columbia, and in yindicatiOn of bis integrity OF
character, we would say: That the District was
divided into eight divisions. General superin-
tendents were appointed for each DIVISION who,
under the published rules, were held RESPONSE
bic for the faithful performance Of all the work
In their respective divisions.
We would further say that Mr. Shepherd.
uurlDg the progress OF the work, invariably in
suueted Us to require a strict, honest and
faithful performance of all the specific atoms
ana requirements OF the board at the hands of
contractors and all persons having any duties t.
perform in our respective divisions; and fur
ther, when any question arose between con-
tractors, or other persons performing duties
and ourselves, which was referred to him he
directed that We see to it that every one per.
formed and complied with all the terms of their
the board.
This is offered as a spontaneous expression of
our judgment, without solicitation from any
quarter or with the hope of future fee or re-
ward, bug as a just tribute to a much misun-
derstoOd and misrepresented gentleman.

THB PEABODY FUND.

Tennessees APPOrtIOnment for Is74-5
Limited to $4,000 Against sS3,5OO
Last Year-Our Most Prosperous
tributiOn.
The appended communication from Col.
Fleming explains how far our public
schools may depend upon the Peabody
fund during the present scholastic year:
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
STATE SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. u, 1S74-To
avoid Misrepresentation and unnecessary
disappointment, deem it proper to say,
through the medium Of the press, for the
information and benefit of all persons and
communities interested in the distribution
of aid from the Peabody Education Fund,
for the years 1S74-5, that the recommended
tons of applications will not be concluded
and forwarded TO DR.. Sears, before the 10Th
inst. Also, for tie reasons set forth in the
following note from DR.. Sears, the aggre-
gate amount for distribution in Tennessee,
the current year, is limited to $4,000 in
stead of S33, 800 last year, when the allow
ance was unusually liberal:
PEABODY EDUCATION FUND, STAUN-
TON, VA, Nov. %, 1S74.-Supt. John NJ.
Fleming: Dear Sir: You will recOllect
that large appropriations were made for
Tennessee last year, with the understand
ing that they should be reduced this year.
There is new reason for this in the pres
ent state of our finances. Our income viii
only be twO-thirds as large as last year.
First, because we had fifteen months in
come last year; and, second, because the
State Of Alabama does not now pay inter-
est on its bonds. This last will only affect
us temporarily. We cannot, therefore, APP
propriate more than $4,000 this year.
Yours truly, b. SEARS,
General Agent"
There are already on file in my off
eighty applications from as many different
schools, for Peabody aid-enOugh to absorb,
according to tie terms of distribution, at
least $4,000. 1t must be evident that
many schools will be necessarily disappOint-
ed this year. The policy recommended to
me 10 adopt, in making recommendation, is
TO prefer those schools that have shown
disposition and an ability 10 become self
sustaining-the fund not being designed as
a charity, but as an aid to the development
of schools into stability and independence.
As soon as the final apportiOnment is made
to schools in Tennessee, the result will be
duly announced.
1t is hoped this publication will be taken
as 4 satisfactory reply TO the many inquiries
being daily sent 10 this office, since it is
found impraciicable, in view of other
duties, to answer with full explanations all
the letters received on this subject.

THE other morning a nice young man
got into a car on the Dayton Short Line
Railroad, and saw TO his delight the only
vacant seat in the coach was by the side of
a young lady acquaintance. He reached
for that seat with joyous strides, and her
eyes answered his delighted looks. But
ju-t as he got there, an elderly party from
the other end OF the car waltzed up the aisle
and dropped into the coveted seat. The
young man approached more slowly and
aceOsted the young lady. SHOW is
your brOther?n he asked. 'Is he able TO get
out?" "Oh, yes" she said. ''Will be be
very badly marked?" he continued; and the
old gentleman grew suddenly interested.
"Oh, no." said the fair deceiver, 'with the
exception Of a few small pits on his fore
head, you would never know he had ever
had it." "Were you not afraid Ct taking
it?" the young man went OH, while the old
gentleman broke out in cold perspiratiOu.
''NOt at ALL she replied; II had been vac
cinated, you know" The seat was va
Gated instantly, two young hearts beat as
half dozen and the prattle Of "nice talk"
strewed that part Of the car, while gray
haired old man scOwled upon them from
the hard accommodation Of the wood box.

The stringency OF the Times.

The effects of the failure of crops in
Middle Tennessee are already showing
themselves very perceptibly in our markets.
The price of stock feed in the shape of bran
and hay might be cited in illustration, and
the price of corn, which, though not very
high as yet, will, in the opinion of our deal
ers, reach very stiff rates ere long.
A farmer of this county, who has hith-
erto been accustomed to sell corn off his
place at this time of the year, yesterday
called at the grain and feed store where he
has always marketed his surplus 10 buy
corn with which to feed his stock. He
said he cultivated twenty-acre field in
corn this year, faithfully, and did not make
from it corn enough to feed his stock a
week. The merchant said he was sorry it
had turned round so that he had to sell to
a farmer from whom, in years Of plenty, he
used to buy-assigning the very laudable
reason that the present transaction gathers
up what money there is in the country ard
sends it out, whereas, formerly, money was
brought from a distance and distributed in
our midst.

DEsTTTUTIONI KANSAS.

A private letter from clergyman in
Fort Scott, Kan, pictures the restitution
there as it comes to the knowledge Of Wis
iting minister in terms which bring the
SCIENCES home. Many Of the poor people in
his parish have absolutely nothing to live
upon. Some of them have come in from
their distant farms hoping to secure enough
20 keep life in their wives and little ones
through the help of the benevolent; one
family had lived upon salt-pork and corn
meal for three months; another had been
so long without sustenance that their first
meal threatened to be their last. So.ue
have suffered two consecutive years from
the persecution of the locust, and their lit
tie farms are mOrtgaged TO their full value.
The writer says: ain small town, and
one small church, one soon eXhausJs the
surplus of the benevolent, and these re-
peated calls weary them" The letter was
written in acknowledgment of the receipt
of box of food and clothing sent the wri-
ter for distribution among the sufferers in
his immediate vicinity. The benevolent
of Chicago who would like to supplement
the good work done by this one box can
find plenty of opportunity by addressing
the Rev. W. c. Porter, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church at Fort Scott, Kansas.

ORTHOGRAPHICAL.
Meeting OF the Nashville Normal
Glass Yesterday.

Meeting OF the Nashville Normal
Glass Yesterday.
The normal class, composed of the teach
ers of the various public schools of the city,
held meeting, which was well attended,
yesterday morning, at the Hume building.
Unusual interest was manifested in this
meeting. Rev. J. W. Shea-er, of Gallatin,
lectured before the class on his new system
Of teaching photography, some idea of which
may be obtained from VIVA; the Yale Col
Lege COlTdHt, in a recent notice of his
speller, says:
"The aim of this system is to apply TO
the letters Of our alphabet such a sign or
note, in writing or printing, as will inva-
riably indicate the proper sound of the let
ter in the word, so that, without teacher,
the learner will be surely guided to the
right pronunciation. The scheme is the
result Of the most assiduous and long pro
tracted study, careful observation and happy
invention. No other scheme of diacritical
notation approaches it in simplicity and
thOrOughneSs. Ii seems to accomplish all
that such scheme could propose to itself
The success seems to be, so far, com
plete and TO justify the confident hope of
the author and inventor that it will initiate
new era in primary instruction, in lexi-
geography, and in the study Of our language
by foreigners"

TEN MILLION GONE.
Chicago Tribune.


The Secretary of the Interior in his an
nual report gives as the total cest of con-
Struction, surveys, equipment, and oper-
ating expenses of the Northern Pacific
Railway the sum Ct 81, ,416, and the
amount of outstanding bonds and other
Indebtedness at 81 ,55S,631. What has
become of the missing ten millions of dol
lars ? Ii will be noticed that the deficien-
cy is full50 per cent. of the cost of the road.
For every dollar expended on the
road, somebody has taken a toll of so cents.
Instead Of ten millions surplus, equal to
the construction of several hundred miles
of railroad, the company owes that much
in excess of what it has expended on the
part Of the road completed. Has this
money or any part of il been s'placed where
1t Will do the most good?" Who has got
it? and what was the consideration there
for?
The company which has wasted this
So, 1000, O00-actually given away one-half
as much as it has sunk in the roadway of
a useless roads at Washington, asking
Congress to give ii fifty or sixty millions of
dollars out of the Treasury to complete IFS
useless road! Failing in this, il proposes
to surrender its land-grant in consideration
of so many thousand dollars per mile
Substantially, it proposes to sell the land
back for double what it is worth to the
General Government. That is whipping
the devil around the stump with a ven
geance.
Cincinnati Commercial.
A very large portion of the ten millions
was used in bribing newspapers. The re-
ligieus press got large slice of this rancid
fat. The editorial columns of the newSpa-
pers and the money departments were pJr-
chased, that they might be used in de-
ceiving the people as to the value of the
road. There were many cases of this kind,
the most notorious and fragrant, perhaps,
being the Neto York Independent. 1t does
not seem impossible that a few pious Con.
gressmen, as well as able editors, may have
been interested
