Threatened Calamity.

The Brandon Miss Republican
contains the following statement: IAN
association has been founded at Mar
shall, Texas, the object of which is to
raise funds for the purchase of home
stead for Hon. Jefferson Davis. After
Mr. Davis is settled in his new home,
it Is understood he will write a history
of the war between the States. This
is work much needed, and it is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Davis, from the posi-
ton he occupied during that eventful
period, can relate events no other man
can. This, in connection with Mr..
Davis ability as writer will render
1t the most interesting book Of the
age"

CONGRESSMAN KELLEY AS A
COMMUNIST.

Congressman Kelley has recently
made q speech, on the financial ques~
tions of the day, at Youngstown, Ohio.
in which he is credited with saving
that in a certain event Labor would
take capital by the throat, and the
scenes of the French Revolution
would be enacted" The expression
was made in the presence of a very
large audience, the majority of which
was composed of workingmen, and
is as u1callcd for as it is foolish and
indiscreet.
The man who by word or deed
would excite unnecessary jealousies
between labor and capital is an
enemy to his country. Nothing is
more damaging to q country than a
conflict between labor and capital
Such q conflict is unnatural, and is
always productive of harm. The two
are naturally so allied, and their in.
terests are so interviewer, that the one
is worthless without the other. In
the very nature Of things they must
go together; and whenever one takes
the other by "the throat" as Mr..
Kelley would say, they both suffer
injury.
1t is much better for men of influ.
ence and ability to appeal to reason,
and upon that basis to settle what are
considered the differences between
labor and capital, than to be talking
about one Selling the other by
the throat and re-enacting in our
own country, the bloody scenes of the
French Revolution. Suppose that
through oppression from capital
against labor, numbers always being
with the latter, arms should be APP
pealed to, and the torch called to its
work of destruction, who is to be ben.
Gifted? Who will not suffer?
In this free country Of ours, where
every man is voter and may be an
intelligent voter, there can never be
the shadow of an excuse for enucting
the scenes of the French Revolu-
ton" Demagogues may pirate about
this and about that, but labor can al
ways protect itself from oppression
without invoking blood to its aid. IfI
such a thing should commence where
is it to end? Property will become
valueless and life uncertain. Let us
avoid all this by adhering to reason,
and by discarding such sentiments as
are credited to Judge Kelley. Let
capitalists and laboring men regulate
their intercourse with each other on
the basis of reason, instead of wild
passion, and We need entertain no
fears Of such scenes as those which
characterized the French Revolution.

TIE editor Of the Christian Adco.
cate, the organ Of the Southern Metho-
dist Church in this country, does not
believe Mr.. Beecher guilty. 1t IS far
more liberal and charitable in its opin.
ions on this subject than our friends
of the dye. We commend to them
the following from the Christian ddco.
cate, published OF Nashville:
Perhaps if it were left to the vote Of the
entire community the result would be about
the same. As man is considered innocent
till he is proved guilty, in the eye of the
law Mr. Beecher is an innocent man.
Though We have not polluted the pages OF
The AdUocOte with the dirty details OF
this scandalous trial, yet we hayehad occA-
sion to say that we have seen nothing tc
inculpate Mr.. Beecher The testimony Of
liars and perjurers-like those brought for
ward by the prosecution-is utterly worth.
less. Wear no champion of Mr. Beechcr
as our readers very well know; but what
over reasons we may have to dislike him
we can not allow our judgment to be swerv
ed in case Of this sort.

SHALL THE HIGHER GRADES
BE TAUGHTIN THE COM.
MON SCHOOLS?

Recently we have published mum
Der Of short communications on the
subject Of teaching the higher branche,
Of education in our free schools
These communications have thus fai
been all on one side of the question
They have taken decided grounds
against teaching Latin and other
branches pertaining to the higher ed.
ucatiOn, in our city schools. We
publish one this morning from one of
knoXyille's leading tax payers, and
from q gentleman whose views are en-.
titled to weight and consideration.
But we are not sure he is right. Yet
we do not undertake to condemn him.
1t is subject upon which great deal
may be said on both sides. 1t is
"a theme for legitimate dis.
cussion. Looking at the question
from the standpoint of our correspond
ent, whose communication appears
elsewhere; that is, whether or not the
School Board has a right to take the
money of the many and appropriate
it to the use Of few who desire to
pursue the study of Latin in our
Common Schools, his position is GER
tainly very plausible. But if we take
another view Of the question 1t APP
pears differently. Suppose our free
schools are made to reach such a de.
gree Of excellence that they will su.
persede all private schools, then every
one will wish to patronize them. If
this can be done, it will cost
those less who desire to pursue these
studies than under the present sys.
tenn, and will cost no more to sustain
the free schools. Then, as a matter
Of economy, wonld it not be well
enough, provided we reach the state
of excellence mentioned, which is not
impossible, to teach the higher
branches in free schools? Then all,
whether rich or poor, may obtain a
higher education without any increase
in the cost of maintaining schools.
There are other points that might be
mentioned in support of either side.
We confess that our mind is not
fully made up as to which is right, but
incline to the opinion that our School
Board has made no serious mistake
in the policy adopted in this respect.

Tie WHISKY RING, 50 violently
assailed by Secretary Bristow, dies
hard. 1t is a powerful ring. It has
oceans Of money, and therefore COM
mands great influence in the press, in
the courts, and among the politicians.
Finding they could not drive the
Secretary from his course by bluflng,
and knowing that money could not
buy him, they now resort to the game
Of publishing mean insinuations and
false charges against the Revenue
officers. And there are plenty of
editors ready to believe their story.
Anything to beat Grant" you know.
Any charge from the whisky ring,
who have been caught stealing from
the Treasury, will be accepted, pub
lished and believed. But the people
are not so easily deceived. They
know who makes these charges, and
they will want some proof before even
entertaining them at all seriously.

THE political contest in Ohio will
formally open the last of this month.
1t promises to be the most exciting
canvass fought in that State since the

victory this fall are growing brighter every

were at the first Of the month, and were
brighter then than on the first Of June

ORDEARILY q neglect Of duty Wis.
its its punishment only on the nogli-
gent person, but with our farmers
their neglect is the misfortune Of the
country. We take it that the late
rains have done q great deal Of dam.
age throughout the country. and it is
perhaps true that much Of this dam
age could not well have been avoided.
But we have been about since harvest
enough to know that most Of our
farmers by proper diligence could
have put their wheat beyond the
reach Of the damage that has been in.
hicted. Those farmers that did not
have good barns to store their grain
could have stacked it. But through
indifference the business interests of
our whole section will more or less
feel the loss. The sort Of judgment
that would leave q fine lot Of wheat
exposed to the chances Of the weather,
to look after some other work, GER
tainly less important, win not make
good farmers. If a business man
neglects his business he suffers alone.
But when the farmers do their work
imperfectly the whole country loses.

THERE was no little comment yester-
day on the sad story of improper
conduct on the part of Rev. Jno. W.
Hammer, Of Middle Tennessee, to.
wards a young lady of his Church,
the particulars Of which we published
in our last Issue. With very few excep.
tions, we heard of but one expression,
and that was sincere regret. The sub.
ject Of the scandal is an old man who
has spent nearly, if not quite, half a
century as an influential minister.
His success has been far beyond the
average, and he was respected and
beloved wherever he was known. That
he should fall, as it appears he has,
at the close of 4 well.spent life, and
have his sun totally eclipsed in the
evening Of his earthly career, is q sad
reflection. Occasionally we have met
one who is so thoughtless as to sneer
at the fall Of this old man, and cast
obloquy upon his profession. There
are those who seem to delight in such
occurrences. Such a spirit we regret
to see. No matter what this man is
guilty Of, q large majority of his
brethren in the ministry are pure
minded men. and will be so credited
by the better class Of people.
