From The Washington National Repabttoan July 10
The Hon. John Nj. Francis, our late Minister
10 Greece and the editor OF The Troy Times, and the
Hon. Ellis H. Roberts also an able editor In the State OF
seem TO be worried about the third-term discussion.
short ago Mr. Francis declared In what he intended
10 be an official way President Grant did not mean
10 run for third term, and comes Mr.. Roberts with
the announcement that Gen. Grant has In no way In
mated 20 person that he desires or would accept
renomnation for thira term as President The Neo-
YORK Herald thinks the statement OF Mr. Roberts very
in favor of third term, would support Grant IL noml
mated, and would in the national convention withdraw
Mr. Conklings for the sake Of harmony and move
TO make the nomination Of Ulysses s. Grant unanimous

\ card from Prof. Jones, the priuei-
pal of this already popular and growing
school, announces the beginning of !
new session on the 9th of August. He
prefers to begin thus early after two
months vocation and relaxation, than Ia
be forced to protract the session too late
into the hot months next year, at the
end OF an exhaustive session. He thinks
pupils can stand tiie heat better al the
beginning than at the close of the term,
and we are inclined to agree with him.
Prof Tones has now been teaching in
Pulaski twelve months, and we think he
has demonstrated his capacity to teach
and manage school to the satisfaction
of every patron and friend who has in
pulred into his method and watched the
progress OF his pupils. No examination
was ever more thorough and exhaustive
than the one his pupils were recently
subjected to, and yet they sustained
themselves throughout, and reflected
honor upon their teachers. His assis-
tants are all competent, and his music
teacher, Miss Jennie Samuel, late of Al
ALBANIA, is brilliant as performer, supe-
rior as vocalist, and most worthy as A
lady. We commend the school and its
teachers to the favor and patronage Of
our readers. They cannot find a better
school for their daughters anywhere,

A certificate having appeared in the

signatures of w. s. Ezell and Drayton

Capt. II. A. Mitchell and Mr.. john Il.
johnson, who were then candidates for
Sheriff of Giles County, to decide upon
the claims of the above named gentle
men as to who should withdraw from
the canvass, and that we mutually agreed
that Mr.. johnson should withdraw, with
the understanding ana agreement that
Can't. Mitchell should not be candidate
at this time; the undersigned, in justice
TO Capt. Mitchell and themselves, beg
leave to state that the only question sub
United to them was, to decide and settle
who should continue in that canvas,
Capt. Mitchell or MIR. johnson, and by
the request of the parties we did meet
the above named gentlemen at the court
house in the town Of Pulaski some time
in the month of July, a short time pre-
yiOus to the election, when il was agreed
that Mr.. johnson should withdraw.
We had no authority to bind either
marty two wears in advance, and did not
attempt TO do so. Nor have we any rec
objection that any such proposition was
mentioned or discussed, and we should
have rejected it without hesitation If
such had been presented.
We further state that the proposition
to withdraw Mr.. johnson was made by
Mr.. Eel without any conditions.

last week for Pulaski, Tennessee, which

mirably adapted for the printers trade,
in which he has acquired very eonsid-
cradle proficiency, which makes him
decided acquisition in any office, should
he still continue it as the calling OF his

in considering his success as fully as

casts his lot, hope that he will fully re-

the office of Sheriff, and at the request
of some of Mr.. JOhnsOn's friends /
agreed to let some of our mutual friends

by some that neither could be elected If
both continued TO be candidates. While

| For the CITIZEN.
Mr.. EDITOR 1T is proverbially diff
cult to instruct canine of advanced
| years in new and slippery modes of
| procedure. Even so it is hard for anti
quated MYSTERIES to keep up with all the
modern ideas. Why, for instance,
should Air. a. be taxed 20 educate the
brats of Mr.. b? If Mr.. B. has a right
to claim this, what prevents him from
requiring for the use of his interesting
family, bread and clothes, expanding in
to unlimited acquisitions for furs, feath-
eTs, flowers and fiounces?
While there is wide diversity with
respect to the expediency of the system
of free schools, all will agree that if we
have them we ought to derive from
them all the good that is possible. 1t is
evident the success of public schools de-
ponds mainly on the Superintendent.
He selects and directs the teachers OF
the whole county; should give to them
all of his time, and should exert an in
fluence that will filter down to every
child in every district. He should be
high-toned gentleman, man of ability
and education, of extensive experience,
competent to watch for and appropriate
every new Improvement, or the educa-
tiOnal interests of the county viii be
gested that if such a man can be found
who will give his whole time and pay
his travelling expenses, which will be
not less than two hundred dollars, for
5000 a year, money could be made by
putting him in cage and showing him
around, price of admission ten cents,
children hall price. But until this so
cial prodigy looms above the horizon, it
! is best for the county to pay the market
value of cultivated brains. The eff
cheney of the school depends on the Su-
perintendent. The country is too poor,
| the people are too heavily burdened for
them not to get some return for their
outlay. There must be a superior man,
and he must be paid for. Injudicious
economy here is extravaganza which the
county cannot afford.
The comparative success of the public
system in Giles over perhaps every
county in the State, is largely due to the
wisdom of the magistrates, who in the
| beginning offered competent salary
and secured a competent man. The
/ short-sighted policy of other counties
/ has produced its natural results in the
general pOn-imprpvement or failure of
| the schools which here have advanced
| 100 per cent. 1t is certain that the
| highest talent that can be commanded
for the Office of County Superintendent
| is the cheapest in the end. And that
here a wise liberality is really true
economy. W, 5.
