Here in Knoxville, we have had great

twelve months, some of it by lads as
young as this one. 1t is contrary to
all prudence to send them to lhe peni-
Tertiary, and when they have been
caught they have been well lectured
and set at liberty again, probably
only to continue their depTedations,
whereas if there had been a reform
school or an institution of similar char
acter, they would have been sent to it
and not only taken off the streets, but
taught trade, while the example af-
forded by their punishment would have
had the effect to deter others from fol-

increases in population, the necessities
of such an institution become more
apparent in the increase of petty
crimes among juvenile offenders, and

NEW YORK, July La telegram nom
Richmond states that Gov. Kemper has pre-
pared for publication long letter N reply
to the charge that he had entered into an
arrangement, during his recent visit 70
Washington, to support President Grant
for third term. The letter contains the
following sentence:
"If the future should bring Forward
candidate impersonating the third Term
principle, if he should cut loose from
old party trammels and take MS
stand ON our safe conservative
ground Of universal reconciliation,
and peace under the Constitution, and II
so standing he should be opposed by any
champion of the civil rights iniquity-then
in the contest between the two the Con
sentative party ought to 60 decidedly, but
as an organized party, and net otherwise,
Tor the third term, yet with a protest on
their lips against the third term principle;
and in spite OF that principle"
The Governor recites the circumstances
of his call on President Grant in Washing
ton shortly after his own Inauguration, and
says the visit was one OF courtesy made IN
response of an invitation from the Presl-
dent that the Governor should cali and
make his acquaintance.

psaliug n the Second Chancery Court,
befolS Chancellor Walker, of the Mem
phis arG Paducah Railroad Company
against q. NJ. Venable and others, to
restrain the defendants from Obstruct-

fled his answer, and the court took the
matter under consideration.
Recently the court decided that there
was no such corporation known to the
law as the Paducah and Memphis Rail-
way COMPANY, but permitted the COM
plainants to amend their bill IN the
name of the Mississippi River Railroad
Company. The court required of COM
plainant that 1t should have the dam
age to Venable's property assessed
without further delay and within a
specified time.

stitution, and does not extend to those
created before the adoption Of the new

for continuance Of the title Of the Ppssi-

second chamber; for the organization of a
purely personal sextnate which terminates
with the expiration Of President MacMahOns

the object Of the omission is to leave OBJ
