comes startling intelligence relative to
the design of the Gar in reference to
Turkey, aud the immediate effect Of such
action although great in itself is OF less
importance than the resulting events OF
which this is but the antecedent. Since

her power at any time to create general
European war and now thata continuance
Of neutrality is but defense OF the Turk
against the Christian, for dual motive
steps in to disintegrate the Ottoman
Empire and drive the descendant OF the
Caliphs across the Bosphorus. The
Gar seems to be OF the opinion that
Russian honor and the peace Of Europe
demand Intervention between Turkey
and the Herzegovinians. That for the
philanthropc and higher motive, under
lying that is the longing eye Russia
casts on Turkey and the trade Of th,

erecting buildings where their citizens

good idea on this matter some time ago;

well worth the outlay required. Labor

TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY AND
THE THIRD TERN BUSINESS.

One does not have to go far back
in the history Of the State to discover
the hypocrisy and insincerity OF Ten
nessee Democracy on the third term
question. This is made n,ore APP
parent when some of the organs Of
the party undertake to criticise ex-
Governor Hayes, of Ohio, who has
been nominated by the Republicans
Of that State for election to the same
office he filed so creditably sometime
ago. Although two terms have in
teryened since he held the Office, they
now cry out "third term" as if it
were something fearfully wicked.
Now let us try them by their own acts
in the past, and test their sincerity.

known in this State-Isham G.. Har.

ris by me-was elected to the Office
of Governor in Tennessee, beating
Col. Robert Hatton. In 1859, he was
elected for a second term, defeating
Col. John Netherlaud, of Hawkins
county. In 1861, another guberna-
torial election was held. 1t was the
stormy period which brought on the
war which we all deplored so much,
and to which the people Of Tennessee
were opposed by majority of sixty
thousand votes. 1t was then that
this same Governor Harris, who had
been Governor for two terms, was
again taken up by the Democrats and
elected for third term. This is the
record of Tennessee Democracy on
the subject. The Memphis Appeal
supported him for third term. The
Nashville Union and american, and if
we mistake not, the Banner, supper
ted him. all arguing with all their
might that there was such state of
" circumstances upon the country
as to make it the imperative duty"
of Gov. Harris to accept the Office
for "third term " and of the party
to elect him. 1t was determined that
Tennessee should secede and the
voice of sixty thousand majority
against it made no sort Of difference,
but was q circumstance which
rendered it the imperative duty" of
Isham G. Harris to accept the Exec
utive chair for a Hird term. He, it
was thought, was the man to
"coerce q sovereign" State out of
the Union and into the Southern Con.
federacy, and hence the "circum-
stance" made third term an impe,u-
hCe necessity. And now these poll
ticians, although these events trans
pired less than fifteen years ago,
have the cheek, the brazeD impudence
to talk to the people of Tennessee
about a third term, and to criticise a
nomination under the circumstances

The Jo,ri% Times, New York,
takes the correct view of the public
school question. 1t says:
"The system of unsectarian education is
looked upon as the very basis of our pub.
lie schools, as the rock upon which it rests,
and AS such it is supported by the senti-
ment and sympathy of the large majority
of our citizens. a powerful sect has been
making war upon it for years defeated
again and again in its attempt to break it
up and substitute in its place education by
church and denomination, it returns to the
attack with renewed vigor, and it requires
sleepless vigilance on the part of the COM
munity in order to escape the traps set foI
it by the willy enemy of popular education
We presume that every friend OF
/ free schools will agree with the Jelr
iSh Times that 1.-THE system of un
sectarian education is looked upon a:
the very basis of our public schools
In any attempt anywhere to breal
down this system, we are glad t.
know that we may always rely upor
the class of our people represented
by the above journal, to stand firm
for the right.

REVERDY JOHNSON.

Reyerdy Johnson, it is well known,
has been itching for political notorie
ty for long time. His last effort in
that direction is writing a letter on
the exploded, deiunct, third term
issue-an issue that has only been
discussed by sensationalists, dema-
gogues or imbeciles. Now, while
Reyerdy j. is a great lawyer, he is a
failure as politician. His ideas on
that subject are crude and of little
value. lie is impracticable and the
worst traits Of the smallest politician
are painfully visible in all that he SAYS
and does. His "say" on the third
term will disturb no one and in six
months he will be tine only man in the
United States who will remember
that such production has ever been
published, For some of the insignif.

pity one like Reverdy johnson, who
has risen to eminence in his profes-
sion, and who is 50 very weak on any
other subject. The old man thought
he ought to have been President him,
self, and he will never recover from
the impression thus made.

GEN. BUELL. ON SHERMAN'S
MEMOIRS.

Gen. Don Carlos Buell., without
waiting to peruse the book, but upon
the newspaper reports and criticisms
of it, hastens to write a letter to the
New York Herald, in which he touches
up Gen. Sherman's "Memors." Gen.
Buell. may be an excellent military
man, but the part he took in the late
war does not show him up in that
light. 1t is possible that he was the
victim of circumstances, but the haste
he makes in replying to Sherman be-
fore reading what he says will not
help his cause much. He says:
Ihave not seen General Shermsn's book,
but l Lave read extracts from it and va
rious notices of it, among them the Her.
AID s review. The peculiarities of the au
thor are sufficiently marked to give sssur
ance that as often as he speaks there will
be abundant room for criticism, so much, in
fact, rs almost to bewilder criticism dc
not know what amount of attention his re-
cent work besLows on my acts. What
have seen on that subject relates to the bat
tie of Shiloh, and is in substance only
continuation of his former efforts to con
ceal the faults and misrepresent the facts
of that battle. l long ago answered hi
assertions concerning that event with evi
dence that must, | believe be deemed con
elusive when the account comes to b

O. concur in your view that it is desirabl
that those who had any prominent part il
the war should now put on record thei
"reminiscences in regard to it, and it
probable that Gen. Sherman's example ma
stimulate that object.

1t is our deliberate opinion after
reading large portion of both vol

his illusions to his brother officers
have been greatly exaggerated by the
newspapers, and his meaning misin

the two distinguished gentlemen men

they were wanting in ability, courage

we will have something to say abou

ed his undying hostility to the Phila-

to the Constitution Of the United
States. Although he surrender
ed his vessel and laid down his
sword at the close of the late war, he
is still fighting and will perhaps con,
tinue to fight as long as he lives. We
trust his influence will prove to be as
limited as it deserves to be. While
such views as he expresses continue to
find a lodgment in the Southern
heart, and meet with a favorable re
spouse from the Southern people, sc
long will they feel the effects Of tho
war. We trust the Ex.Admiral''
views will be repudiated, not only by
Alabama, his own State, but by every
other Southern State. The Soutl

4 DELEGATION of Sioux Indians has
been in Washington several days, and
they have now returned to their native
Western hunting grounds. They had
been invited there for the purpose of
gaining from them an expression as
to what was proper to be done by the
Government for the welfare of their
race in the future. 1t appears to us
as if this is all lost time. The IN
dians do not, in our opinion, under.
stand what is best for them. All at.
tempts to civilize them have failed
and as the West is filled up with set
tiers, the condition of the red man
becomes more and more unpleasant
That he will chafe under it is natural
AS long as there are enough Indians
left to make them power among
Western settlers, so long will it b.
necessary to keep United States
troops on the Western frontier t.
watch them. The thing for the Gov
eminent to do, is to treat them hu

it can be conveniently and safel,
done, to do which, long consultation
at Washington are unnecessary. 4
