OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Lew" the GAINESVILLE correspond
ent of the Louisville Courier ournal,
says
Our citizens should congratulate
the School Board on their judicious
management, both financially and in
every other respect, for the past schol-
astic year. Two school houses have
been built, the teachers have been paid
promptly, and there is now over s, 900
in the hands of the board. This sue
cess is unprecedented in the history of
public schools in this city. Mr.. A.
Howell, as chairman of the board, has,
by his financial skill, succeeded in
establishing the public schools upon a
firm basis. The Third-ward school is
under the charge of Prof. w. ". Var
rcll, graduate of Stewart College, of
this city, under its earliest management.
His skill as a teacher was made prom
ipeut in the examination for promo
ton to scholarships to the Southwest
ern University, in January last-three
out of the FIVE having been selected
from his school. He has had large
experience as an instructor, both in
this city and at other points. Over
sixty scholars were in attendance at
this school during the year, and at the
examination, held on the 18th inst,
Prof Yarrell was warmly Congratulated
by the parents present on the great
proficiency shown by his pupils.
Miss Lizzie BIB, who has gained a
well-earned reputation as teacher in
in this city, where she.h resided and
taught private school for MANY years,
is principal of the First and Second
ward school, where there were in at
tendan nee the Tast session over forty
scholars, all of whomexhibited rapid
progress in their studies. There were
no applicants from this school Tor
scholarship in the University at the
last examination, as most OF the schoi-
airs we're in the primary branches of
the course prescribed by the School
Board. The Fifth. Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth ward school house is uuder the
care of Mrs. Sarah f. Shackelford as
principal. This is the largest of the
public schools, having in attendance
the session just finished over seventy
five scholars. The pupils have shown,
to the general satisfaction ofthe parents
marked degree of Improvement dur
ing the last session. Two Of. the five
scholars who secured scholarships, in
January last, IN the Southern Uuiver-
sity were from this school, The last
year has been marked BY a wonderful
Increase of scholars, the completion of
two buildings for school purposes, and
the selection of most efficient corps

city and well known for their high

10Th inst:
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn, June
2.-With abundant rains, magnificent
crop prospects, an abundance Of labor.
and an appearance Of industry and
frugality on every side, can we not with
some reason hope for a cessation of
the cry of hard times" and look for
ward to time not far distant in future
when our people, weary and discour-
aged as they have been for the last few
years, shall be well supplied with MOI
only the neeessa ries but many of the
iluxuries Of life? Six short weeks
have scarcely passed since the cry went
throughout the length and breadth of
our section that there would be a fail
ure in our staple crop-tobacco. The
disastrous freezes ofthe 10th and 18th
of April had just stripped our forests
of the young leaves aud buds of early
spring, and the gloom was worse indeed
than that of mid-winter. The young
! tobacco plants were just beginning to
show themselves on the bed, and every
one was ready to find that they were
either badly injured or killed outright.
Some even suggested the expediency
of preparing beds anew at that late
date. But behold the fallacy of hui
man wisdom To-day there is larger
acreage of tobacco planted in the
GAINESVILLE tobacco district than was
ever known before, and a greater
abundance of plants than has been
this season is thing unknown. The
most important question which
now occurs to the mind of the disin-
terested observer is, lis there labor in
the country sufficient to cultivate the
crop as it should be?" And, although
the labor has been much more abund-
ant and reliable this year than for some
time past, yet, owing to the present
high prices for tobacco, together with
the unprecedented opportunities which
we have had for planting full crop,
it is to be feanGl that many Of our
farmers have planted more than they
can cultivate properly, and a great deal
of tobacco of an inferior quality will be
the inevitable result. We are just now
in preparation for. the wheat harvest,
some of the more advance fields be-
ing now ready for the sickle, and our
broad acres Of golden grain, waving in
the western breeze, though not equal
to those of year ago, give promise of
an abundance for home consumption,
with some 70 sepl TO market also. 1t
is stated that our neighboring little
town Of Guthrie, KY, Shipped $1,000
bushels of wheat last season, aud.
though it will not do so we'll this year.
il will doubtIess-do very considera bic
busisess in that line. The corn crop
was never more promising than atpre-
sent, though IT is few days late, but
of course it would be impossible to
predict with any certainty its probable
success at this early date. 1t has been
well cultivated, aatis at present in
good condition Oats, rye, grass, gar
dens, DC, are fully up to the average.
and have heard several express the /
opinion that We have never had more
fiatterlng prospects for yearei P'ents
than We have at present

TIE New York Sun asks whether
man is degenerating, and answers the
question by addncing facts to prove
that, physically, the race is not degen-
Grating, but morally it is, and to an
alarming extent. We agree with him
that the average duration of human
life, as compared with by gone ages, is
greater now than at any recorded
period Of modern history, but incline
to the belief that the difference is due
TO the science of health. Butas creak-
ing doors often hang long time, we
are not prepared to accept uncondi.
tionally the test applied, as decisive Of
the assumption that a greater average
duration Of life is proof positive OF
more muscle or more vigorous health
now than in preceding generations.
Against the charge Of moral degen
eracy we have no objection to offer
on the contrary, readily concede that
neither history nor tradition gives any
country, claiming to be civilized, that
ever could have surpassed this in the
number of consummate scoundrels re-
presenting every grade of villainy be-
longing to every phase of society and
to both sexes. What connection there
may be between the present physique
of the race and this moral degcneracy,
We do not care to enquire.

We do not see why the Radical press
should be so severe upon Vice resi-
dent Wilson for his trip in the South.
He was received with courtesy and
behaved himself like a gentleman, and
this is ali of it. He said and did
nothing to benefit himself and the
South, and nothing e injure the North
or himself, in the estimation of any
other than a knave or fool Taking
public notice of his traducers is the
most impolilic thing he could have
done.
