tamentc con este preceptoi La mayor
parte de los establecimientos de en-
seflanza carecen de los muebles pre-
cisos Los efectos que Sc deterioran
rara vez Sc reemplazan y rarfsima es
la escuela que haya tenido nunca los
que ha menester.
Pagar con puntualidad q los profe-
sores y proveerles de los titles nece-
sarios es, puede decirse, la primera
atencion de los municipios. Hoy que
esta en- ell poder nnestro partido, es
necesario que con hechos practicos
desmintamos la nota de oscurantistas,
de enemigos de la instruction con que
calumniosamente Sc nos ha represen
tado; es necesario que Sc yea que
amamos la ilustracion cristiana, que
trabajamos todo 10 possible por hacer
que la naciente generation sea mas
ilustrada y mas moral que la nuestra.
Conveniente serfa, ademas, que el
gobierno marcase defnitivamente los
haberes que Sc han de satisfacer q los
maestros municipales segun ell MI
nero de nif1os pobres que existiese en-
las diferentes localidades Hay actual
mente una gran diferencia en- los suel-
dos. En- unas parties Sc dlsmlnuyen
en- otras sc aumentan sin fundanento
A veccs las mayores 6 memories sim
patias individuales de que goce e
maestro marcan la cantidad de su re
trlbucion. Esto nj es equltativo n
conduce 4 buenos resutadOs.
En- fin, exiSten en- las escue!as mul
tltud de defectos viejos que urge re
mcdiar.

Much Learning.

Professor Tyndall, president of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, crossed the Rubicon.
In his last address to that Society, he in
substance declares that Religion must
oct ont of the way of science-that the
two are incompatible and cannot stand
together. He avows his faith in mater
iafism. In matter he discerns "the
promise and potency of every form and
quality of life That is, there was no
need Of Creator to perfect the scheme
of creation. This sounds like nonsense.
Who created matter Was not an ON
nipotent Being as necessary to create
matter as mind? The philosopher him.
self admits that "whole process OF evolu-
ton is the manifestation of Power
wholly inscrutable to the intellect OF
man. That answers his first position.
SOCRATES more than two thousand years
ago protested
"To know this only, that he nothing
knew"
and that, by the mere toroe Of thinking,
and without the aid Of Revelation, is all
that Professor Tyndall and the rest Of
the strong and free thinkers can work
out. 1t isa vain and empty labor for
man to attempt to fathom the works Of
the Omnipotent. Ifthese wise men can
not give ANYTHING better than Christiani-
tv, better leave us that as 1t serves to
comfort many an afflicted soul.-R'eh-

The Advance I'm Bar Iron.

The Pittsburgh Commercial gives the
following details of the meeting "i BAR
iron manufacturers in that city, 26ih ut:
A meeting of the bsr-iron m"nutact.
urcrs was held yesterday ut the rooms OF
the Western Iron Association, which
WAS of considerable Importance: ne
meetings. described rs one In whlch the
bor-iron interests of the West were more
widely represented than any similar
meeting for the past four years. Repre-,
sentstives were present from nearly all
the rolling-mills of western IennSyINa-
MIA. western Viaginia, eastern and south
crn Ohio and Kentucky. The meeting
WAS held. as usual with closed doors nut
the action taken in regard to card prices
WAS made public to-day. We are m
formed that the meeting was unanimous
as to the necessity of the changes maze
in the card.
The facts of the case are aS follows:
During the last six months the cEtlul-
ton of the market has been such th"'
very general cutting of prices by means
ofdi>counts from the cards has been made.
The meeting took this fac. into consider
alton and adopted new prIce-IlSii;;
which will be firmly adhered to IN all
respects. The new list is, as heretofore
a three-ccnt rate, and we note reductions :
from the old card rate Of two-tcnths OF
4 cent on light bands, two to thrce-'eil'ns
on hoop. eight to nine-tenths an t"'lN
iron. and four to fivc-tcnthS on sheet IRON
These are the alterations from the %"
card, but the action of the meeting
with reference to the abolition Of the
discounts. which have been in vogue tor
some time, is such as to really cause a
material increase in the prices obtained
by manufacturers. The discounts usual
to the trade will, of course, be allowed III
future, hut all cutting under that figure
will be discontinued, which, as we are
informed by leading member OF the
iron interest of this city, will amount
TO an increase of fully IS per ton on the
lowest prices realized this summer.

LEWIS COUNTY.
CattIe-Crops-POIitics, &c.
GEORGETOWN, Sept. )

Editors of the Register.
am glad to say that the cattle bust
ness, the great wealth Of this section of
the country, is looking up; that cattle are
now worth cents per ID gross, and buy
ers plenty. This grade of cattle, however,
is scarce, most of them having been sold
and taken to market; other grades OF
cattle bring from 3 to 81 cents, and are
hard to get at that.
Corn is looking well, and we rely upon
a good average crop. As to wheat and
oats. YOUR readers have been bored long
enough with accounts in regard to them.
In the matter Of politics, Lewis county
is booming up, taking her proper position
as a Democratic county. The differences
that have existed heretofore in the party
have been healed to Il considerable extent,
bv the nomination of Col. Ben Wilson,
who | assure you will get a large vote i'll
our county. His speech in Weston on
the first day of our court made him many
friends.
You have correspondent who signs
himself sIon," writing from this county,

was full of candidates. | can't tell you
lust how many candidates we will have,
but we have one of whom | am proud to
speak, and that is W. V. Chichester, one
Of the Oldest subscribers Of the REGISTER,
and | think he will be the universal
choice of our people for the
Legislature, so general is the call upon
him, that neither party will hold a nom
mating Convention, and | think he will
run over the track without serious oppo-
sition. He is very worthy and intclli-
gent gentleman, and Notwithstanding he
is a sound Democrat, l believe he will
get Il large vote among the Republican
friends.
The REGISTER is gaining circulation
in our neighborhood very fast, us | un-
icrstand man are making up clubs. |
will write you again.
Yours Respectfully
CITIZEN.

Letter from Senator BrOwnlOw OH
Tennessee Politics.

The New York Trb,mc publishes a
very long letter from Senator Brownlow
to Hon. Truman Smith from which we
make the following interesting cI-
tracts:
1t is lust two weeks since one of tho
most exciting and memorable elections
was held in this state of which there Is
any record since the days of Andrew
jackson. Though it was the least impor-
tant ofall our clections-bcing II contest
for county OtiiccS-a larger vote was
polled than there was in the last election
for President, members of congress,
governor of state and members of the
state legislature As might be anticipa-
ted. so exciting a contest ina southern
state upon such an issue has been attend
cd with riot and bloodshcd and the kill
ing and wounding Of many men. The
result of the election is the ovcrwhcIm-
ing defeat of the republican party, Il de-
feat from which the party cannot rccov-
er within the next five years and from
which it will not pr"babIay recover
during the lifetime of the present genera
ton. As sample Of the revolution
which has taken place, l Will mention
that in the county in which | reside,
where we had | 900 republican majority,
the democracy have elected their ticket
bv 700 majority. In Shelby county.
where the republican ticket was triumph
ant at an election year ago by about
1000 majority, the democratic ticket was
recently el, cted by about 5000 majority.
Thouands of ex-union soldiers, who never
before or since the war voted other
than republican ticket, went to the
polls vchemently cursing the republican
majority in congess and deposited their
ballots for original secessioniSts against
their comrades in the union army, swear
ing AS they did so, that they would never
again vote with party which supported
the Co-education of the races.

MALAR1A.-The decayed and decaying
vegetation of newly settled lands, when
damp, exhale miasmatic poison which,
absorbed through the lungs into the blood,
causes intermittent fevers and kindred
diseases, which prevail in our Western
States and Territories. But this great
scourge of our rich alluvial bottoms IN
the West, is now robbed of itr sting.
Doctor Aver has discovered an antidote
which effcctually ncutralizes its venom:
has combined it in rcmedy-"Ayer's
Ague ure."-which rarely, or, rs some
of our neighbors say, never fails. 1t Is
reliable, both for prevention and cure.
With it, men may live with complete i'm
munity from the malignant etiuvla
which has hitherto rendered many local
tiles almost uninhabitable. Thase suffer
ing from chills andafcver may lind IN II
Immediate relief, and those exposed Will
find sure protection from attack by tax
ing it in small quantities as apreventiVe.

money in her treasury to pay every debt,
leVles a tax Of 10 cents on each SIou, while
ours is 40 cents. The assessment of prop
erty in Tennessee is lower than in most of
the States. Take, for example, eleven
States in 1870:
In Tennessee property was taxed at 50 per
cent Of its true value.
N Alabama property was taxed at 50 per cent.
OF its true value.
In Arkansas property taxed at 20 per
cent OF its frue value
IN Florida property was taxed at IS Per cent.
of its true value.
In Georgia property was taxed at SO per cent.
OF ITS true value.
In Virginia property was taxed at 50 usr rent
Of its true value.
In Maine property was taxed at CO per cent. of
its true value
In Massachusetts property was taxed at 20 per
cert. of its true value
In Texas property was taxed at 90 per cent. of
its true value.
In Maryland property was taxed at "a per cent.
Of It's true value.
In Kentucky property was taxed at &C per
cent. Of its true value.
ut is not in the reduction of State taxes
that you must look for relief from the bur
dens upon the taxpayers. It is local taxa
ton that IS crushing the energies of the
State. l wish that the State tax could be
diminished. But, l repeat, that is not the
great burden. Take six counties in the
State, including Davidson and Shelby, and
look at the taxes collected in 1870:
