Andrew Johnson Elected U. S. Senator.

After ballOtIng for a whole week, the
Legislature finally elected Andrew
johnson United States Senator, on the
fffty-fifth ballot. The last ballot stood
johnson, 81; Stephens, "a; Henry, IL
Ewing, Z; Key, 2; Brown, l. Necessa'
ry to a choice 40. Gen. w. B. Bate
came worry near being elected on several
ballots Saturday and Monday.
Mr.. Johnson WIS not our choice, and
underline circumstances we regret he was
elected. We must trust the predictions
of his friends may be realized, and that
his election will be the means of healing
old sores and bring about a state of per-
feet harmony, and enable us to make Z
good and strong fight in 1876. If he haC
not been elected this time he would
have been a candidate for Cooper's sea
and his defeat at this time would have
made his friends moro reckless and de
termined in 1876, and may be at tim
when harmony and unity of actor
would be very necessary.
His election will undoubtedly, in GU
opinion, be the means OF recOncilini
certain Democratic elements at tn
North, who haYe been little unified a
Tennessee Democrats, thinking the.
were opposed to Johnson on account
Unionism. Mr.. Johnson is now settles
down for six years, his friends are a.
satisfied, and we hope this will be tn
means of bringing about that state
harmony that will be so essential tw
Naars hence.

The Sale OfIhe Comptroller
shin.

The committee appointed to lnvesh'
gate the Hobbs mystery laid the testimo
ny in the case before the Legislature OF
Thursday the Dist. We have heretofore
published the statement of Hobbs, anC
give the evidence of other witnesses IL
to-day's issue. The result of the whole
investigation shows that Hobbs resigned
an consideration of $4,000 paid him by
VIM. Duncan broker of Nashville. Mr.
John Frierson had nothing to de with The
transaction, except that he knew of 1t a
the time both from Hobbs and Duncan
Mr.. Frierson said that he was not aware
thatany combinations had been formed
to secure the passage of the funding bill
The whole testimony proves conclusiveIy
that neither Gov. Brown, nor Col. JOIN
c. Burch were implicated in the nefarl
Gus trade; and further, that they were boil
ignorant that any such trade had beer
made. The investigation removes ever.
faint of odium, and every shadow of sus
picion from these high officials, and tn
dignity and honor Of the State are pre-
served, pure and unsullied. But We hav'
laid as much of the testimony before on
readers as possible, that they may judg
for themselves.

q Maury County was represented by Esq
James III. Wilkes, our county superin
&tendent, and DIR. VIM. A. Smith of tn
&Columbia Atheneum. Those gentlemen
$we notice, took lively part in the de
dliberations, and offered several importan
: RESOLUTIONS, which were adopted.
The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction in Kentucky delivered al
fable address, which was well received
! DIR. b. Sears, agent of the Peabody Fund
added much to the interest of the occa
sion by his presence and encouragement
The President, DR.. J. Berrien Lindsey
read an excellent paper on Normal
Schools, showing clearly that he had
made the subject a matter of earnest
study; hence, he was enabled to present
/ his hearers with rich fund of valuable
Information.
Two decisions of Importance were
adopted by the Association, and en-
bodied in memorial to the Legislature e:
first that the public school law ought to
stand, for the present as it is and second,
that our State needs at least one normal
school.
Several members of the Legislature de-
llvered stirring addresses, an abundance
of good feeling prevailed, and no doubt,
much good was accomplished. To con-
clude this notice, our want of space only
allows us to add, that the next meeting of
the State Teachers Association is appoint
ed to be held on the 18th of July next, in|

Cripple not the Common Schools

DIR. Sears, in his address to the Teacher
Association in Nashville, remarked tina

wears behind the times. If the Legisla
turc should make this move, it would b.
impossible to cooperate longer and HI
would look out ror better fields.
According to the State superintcnd'
ent's report, Tennessee now has over 400
public schools. il is safe to say that a
least one-halr the children attending these
schools are children of poverty, orphans,
and utterly unable to attend any pri
vate school Averaging these schools q
so scholars each, we have the amazing
number of fifty or sixty thousand, annu

at no distant day, vast population to be
governed by the strong arm of the law OF
by the sword.
In this connection, let it not be forgot
ten, that thousands Of these children arc
orphans or the children Of the brave he

their wives and families long farewell
and laid down their lives in the common
cause OF the sunny South The heroes

peal to the people of Tennessee-to her
legislature. to sustain such a system ar
will educate her children-to do it from
considerations of economy, State pride
justice, self preservation, the personal in1
terests of her citizens, tho security of
their property and their lives. 1t is the
only way to empty her jails, to dispense
with her criminal courts, to keep down
the Commune, aul save the liberties of
the country

The present Legislature is perhaps the
most economical one that has met since
the war. There are now several bills be
fore the two branches, looking to the re
ductiOn of the salaries of State officials
If those bills are passed thousands of dol
lors will be saved to heavily taxed PEG
pie. They are saving thousands of dol
lars in the one item, of public printing.
There Is but one objection as far as we
have been able to notice, against the con-
duct of that body, and that is they do not
make their daily sessions long enough
rarely ever sitting over two hours day.
We are aware that heavy work is being
done in the committee rooms but, never
theless their sessions are too short The
county courts are also making heavy re-
auctions all over the State.
