The Hopkinsville New Era, of the

4th INST, speaks as follows:
Friend Thomas Of the Springfield
Record is wasting ammunition need
lessly in firing salute over the open
ing of tobacco market in Nashville
That cityis not only beyond the limits
of the tobacco belt proper, but is al
some distance from-the line of ship
ment between the producing regions
and the great tobacco markets of this
country. Fictitious influences may
sustain a market in Nashville for few
years, but even that cannot be done
without somewhat sacrificing the inter
est of the planter. If you wish to
promote the well-being Of the tobacco
growers of Robertson county, advise
them to send their crops to Hopkins
vile or GAINESVILLE. the natural mark

no means incredible:

cesses in the first stage of his warfare,
! Mr.. Bristow ventures upon a second
stage, as we have alreadyshown. in the
Indictment of Mr.. Mckee We are
speaking now upon the strength OF
something besides conjecture, and in
this mannef we do not hesitate to assert
thatif Bris.ow succeeds as well in the
second stage of this warfare as he has
in the first, the way will be open for
him to inaugurate third stage, which
will consist of nothing less than
the Indictment of Orville f. Babcock
and the members of the National Re-
publican Executive Committee of 1872
as co-conspirators and receivers of the
stolen funds, together with the possible
impeachment Of the President for
guilty knowledge of the frauds, if not
for a criminal participation in their
proceeds"

levied tax upon property OF a half
mill and poll tax of one dollar, for
school purposes, now they take up
stones to cast at us" because we pro-
pose to appropriate portion of this
poll tax to the payment of our school
debt, and yet there are AZ counties in
the State carrying no d 3bt, which levy
no poll tax at all for school purposes.
There are II more carrying no debt
that levy less poll tax than ours and
there are 81 counties not in debt that
levy no tax at all on property for school
purposes.
If your Superintendent will look a
little further he will see that between
the years 1874, many of the counties
in the State decreased their school tax,
while Montgomery, burdened with
debt, increased hers 2! cents on prop
erty and gave to the schools portion
of the tax on privileges.
II he will take the trouble TO look
still further he will see that during the
present hard year, when many more of
the counties, as | am informed. are de-
creasing their school tax. the Quarter
ly Court of Montgomery county, as a
measure of relief to the people. has re-
duced the county tax one mill, the
railroad tax half mill, while the
school tax remains the same, with the
exception of the 81 600 taken by these
old claims of teachers.
If he still insists that the young idea
down this way is not being taught to
shoot we can show him that the en-
tire levy next year, for county purpo-
ses amounts to only $1,000. in round
numbers, while the school levy (sup-
posing the interest on the permanent
fnnd TO be the same as last year, will
amount to about $4,000. The expen-
ses Of the poor. the criminals, the iu-
rors. the magistrates, the county off =
GERS and the uumberless other items of
county expenditure, must all be borne
ont of fund not exceeding two thirds
of the amount levied for the children.
An things considered, 1 venture the
assertion that there are not half dozen
counties in Tennessee which can show

guarantee. and that no advance shall be
made without deposits of product or guar
antee of it. A rapid system of communica-
ton, by post and telegraph, will keep every
point we'll informed Of the supply and de-
rnand for products at every other point,
while the exchanges of the products in The
States and through the whole nation will be
settled simply by the payment of balances,
as at clearing house.
Such an organization. by sffordiDg in
Simultaneous saleA and supplying abunda ut
credit upon safe basis, will 90 fertilize the
productive resources OF tho country as to
create an amount of wealth. an estimate of
which would appear fabulous. The enor-
mons exactions now imposed in the shape
of interest and profits by the banking and
commercial system would disappear, and in
place of these burdens production and con-
sumption would have to bear only the cost
of administering the system, which could
not exceed one or two per cent.
The manufacturing and agricultural in
terests of the eouL try would then lead the
whole world and command all markets; for
no other nat on could compet, with such
enormous productions encpmbered with SO
little expense.

though somewhat hastily thrown toge ther
and necessarily very general in their scope,
to be worthy of your consideration.

MOTHER NIICHAUD.


1t was early one morn when Mother Michaud
, Passed by the guard at the city gate,
The marrow length Of The iron i1 crate.
Still, far and faint in the twilight swoon,
Like her own pale shadow. the ya'iips msen
hung lonely Ger the lonely street
By winding stairway and gable quaint
Carved over sgsin in shade below
By arch and turret and pillsred saint,
with lightsome step walled Mother Mchaud.
Pleasant it was in the smoky town
The rosy old country face to gee,
The high white cap and the peasant gown
Brought up vision Of Normandie-
Eormandie, with its fair green swells,
The sweep of its 0rchards fowery food
ways tt at wind into woody dells.
Cornhelds red with the poppy's blood.
There in the corner. the wheel stood still
That used to whiIr like the bees on the thatch;
me cherres m'ght tap on the windows sill,
ana the vine, unlOosed, lift the cattering latch.
But Mother Michaud bad left behind
z, the sun and scent Of her native plain,
The facs of her youngest son again.
Nine long years had come and gone,
Mae long years since the April day
When into the mists of the early dawn
He melted, kindred mist, away.
And year after year the bright boy-face,
That never came back from that cloud land dim
Beckoned her out OF the empty space
Til II drew her at last to foilow him.
Lonely and dark in the dawnng spread
The citys tangle Of court and street;
But the stones that ans wered her hurryinr ire ad
Had echoed before to his passing feet
Lonely and dark 2-but a sound, n glare
Strike on the sense like . sudden blow!
Press closer 10 the sbaiOwy stair.
Out Of the tumult, Mother Michaudl
Clatters the street to the soldiers tramp
File on file, with stately sheen,
Under the fare OF the ftful lamp
Held high in the cart that rolls between
TIE heads carved over the doorway there
Grin into view for q moment plain
hooking the mute, bewildered stare
OF the mother who finds her son again.
Finds him, to lose him at last-like thisi
Chained like the wolf, with those wol6sh eyes,
Dead with never q mother kiss,
hre yon lone moon drops out Of the skies
Forward she sprang, in the torchlight blaze
Fun overhead as the cart went by
AL her soul in that strainng gaze,
AL her strength in that msddened cry.
He turned, as 1t smote through his dulliur ears:
Their wild eyes met-and the cart drove on.
So Mother Michaud after nine lone years.
Looked into the face of her youngest son
