That Normal school.

To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. IS.-The
KnOrcWe Press and Herald OF the 1Ith
inst. asks if it is not probable that a COM
peteDt man can be found in the South to
take charge of the State Normal School Of
Nashville. OF this there can be no doubt.
It would &c an objectionable reflection
upon the intelligence Of the Southern peO-
pie to insinuate that among the hundreds
Of teachers and college professors, not one
can be found capable Of filling the Office OF
President Of the Normal School. Tennessee
herself can ably Ill that chair as we'll as all
the others.
1t is true that our common school system
aud system Of Normal schools are yet in
their infancy, compared with those of some
Of the Eastern States, but we have the ma
terial, the energy and intelligence 70 bring
them up to q high siandsrd-nOt inferior to
any in the land.
A teacher, coming to MS from highly
developed system Of schools, with millions
of endowment and greatly superior ap-
pOintments, would be unable to adapt him
self to the difficulties in the gr6wth Of our
school; and, because It could not be made
in q very short time to reach his conception
as TO what /: should be, might abandon
the enterprise as 4 failure and so make it
one.
We want man from among us, know
ing the wants Of our people, approaching
our difficulties and disadvantages, with
patience to ''labOr and to watt for tie
fruits Of his toll. There are those in our
own State, fully competent, from whom not
only the President, but the entire faculty
can be selected. Our law schools, medical
colleges and universities have had no diff
Guilty in obtaining the best talents for their
chairs from the South, and why cannot the
Normal School do the same? W.

OUR ESTHETIC INTERESTS.
The Municipal Title to the MeGaTOek
Park Declared Good.
A Decree against the city for s65,OSO
of alden Indebtedness.

OF Alden Auue Dizziness
In the early part Of 1865 Hugh McGav-
oek sold 403 acres Of ground to the city for
a park, at 81, 600 per acre, in bonds having
ten years to run, with interest payable
semi-annually.
The bonds were issued 70 him by the
Mayor ard Recorder. bat upon rather du-
bious authority; though it appears that
their issuance was known, and not object
ed to By the members Of the City Council.
But some months afterwards, these
bonds being clumsily got up, and being Of
too large size individually, Mr.. McGavOck
succeeded in getting the Mayor and Re
corder 10 take them mp, and 70 issue to him
the same amount in bonds of more convent
ent size and shape, with coupons attached.
There was no corporate authority for this
substitution, however, and it was clearly
the act, not Of the city, but merely Of the
city officers, who assumed 70 set for the
city.
These bonds have been held void by
both judge Swayne and Judge EmmOns,
in suits brought in the Federal Court upon
their coupons.
In 1869 the city filed bin to set aside
the park purchase. and afterwards fled an
amended bill for the same purpose, aud the
case was recently tired before Special Chan
cellor Malone, who yesterday pronounced
a decree, holding the transaction Of the
purchase Of the park valid and Mr.. Nc
Gavock entitled 10 the purchase money
agreed 10 be paid therefor. The total
amount, including interest, is upwards of
$4,000, Of which $40, 500 is the principal,
which natures Aug. p, 1918. But the
Special Chancellor held the second set Of
bonds, the present park bonds void, and
ordered them to be surrendered to be can
celed. The counsel for the city were
Messrs. Ewing, Cooper aud Lellyett. For

Business Notes.

The Lewiston Journal learns that the Lin
coin rillis to shut down next Saturday. 1t
will stop, it is supposed, for one month. There
is no probability that any other mill will shut
down. The goods made by this mill have been
selling at loss for some months, and a turn in
the tide is awaited.
A. B. Edwards of Lewiston has con tracted
to erect large paper mill at South Windham,
which will require about 100000 of brick. He
is to commence work on the mill Immediately.
The Journal says that J. E. Brann, ESQ.,,
agent of the Hallowell Manufacturing Co., re-
ports a full crew of upwards of 200 hands at
present employed.
The Advertiser says that the Calais city
bonds for 100000 given for the Dewy's Island
railroad, fall due next year, and an arrange
ment has been made with the St. Croix & Pc
uobscot railroad which has to pay them, to is
sue new bonds for the above amount imme-
dately, as it is thought they canabe sold to
better advantage while money is cheap. They
are to be six per cent. bonds. interest payable

The Mountains at Thejr Best.

The trip over the Ogdensburg through the
Notch is growing more and more tempting as
the ripening of leaves is adornlng the mountain
sides with the brilliant and varied hues of au-
tumn. One may leave Portland at ITO a. M,
go as far as Fabyan's, come back for dinner at
Crawford's and arrive comfortably home at
615 p. M, after enjoying as complete and sat-
isfactory an excursion as can we'll be imagined.
The road is smooth, the cars comfortable, and
conductor Richards, under whose care the ex j..
curson is made, is good specimen of the ideal
official. He is attentive to the comfort of the
passengers, invariably courteous and takes the
pains to call attention to the leading points Of
interest among the mountains. His conduct is
always subject of most favorable comment
among the passengers, and adds much to the
popularity of this road
