sEEKIEs PLEASURE UNDER Diff
CULTIRS,

The Senatorial excursionists Left
Washington Monday for Mexico. This
trip, whatever its ultimate object
whether pleasure, health or profit is
made at an inauspieious time. In the
first place, an impression has gone forth
that its originators have some speeola-
ton or annexation project in view, aud
on this account Secretary BTis;ow and
others who had eouseated to JOIN the
party ~oonclsdei to remain. The fact
that a government vessel the Dispatch,
is sent out 70 convey these prominent
persons whatever their real mission,
gives color and stability to the many IN
favorable surmises Of the people and the
press. IL the second place, numerous
raids by predatory and murderous bands
have recently been made from the
Mexican side across the Rio Grsnae,
and Governor Richard Coke states Off
cially 10 the President that these have
so increased in number and a~trocity Of
late as to threaten to depopulate the
lower Rio Grande country, and steps
have been taken BY the Government to
protect the people Of Texas on the
Mexican frontier. Under such cireum-
stances our distinguished tourists must
feel a degree Of delieacy and psintll
constraint in visiting the City Of Mexico,
and it is likely that a corresponding
feeling of distrust, though better con
cealed, will be cherished by the Authori-
ties charged with their reception 10 the
third place We learn by the dispatches
TO the LEDGER last evening that the
yellow lever broke out at Key West
while the vessel conveying the party was
there. This must have produced great
CONSERVATION in their midst aud we
would not be the least surprised to hear
of their immediate return. In any
event, they are making the visit at "a
critical time in various respects, and
when safely back will have abundant
cause for self-coDgratulation. The fol
lowing personages constituted the party
that sailed from New Orleans: Sen.
ators Camayon patferaon Dennis An
thony, Morton, ex Senator Chandler,
Tom Scott and wife, Wayne McVeigh
and wife, Ben Perley Poore, of the Bos-
ton Joural, and Miss Poore, Mrs SEN
ator Morton and ex. Governor Brown,
of Georgia, and wife. The only Demo
crat is Dennis Of Maryland. Secreta-
ries Bristow and Jewell intended going,
but we're deferred by the comments Of
he newspapers.

JOHN MITCHELL rRApucERs.

While good and patriotic men of
every party in this country regard the
last days of the patriot John Mitchell
with peculiar and mourniul interest, and
feel that his death is a loss to mankind,
the occasion has brought to the surface
a class Of men who pursue with their
hates the dead as well as the living.
The extreme Radical papers of the
North cannot forgive him, now that he
is in bis grave, for sympathizing with
and aiding the Southern C~ohfederacy.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, one
Of the ablest Of this ultratype, takes the
lead in coarse abuse. In a late issue it
lays back the winding sheet to point to
his rebellious record, and eharacterizes
him as the blatant advocate Of human
freedom who became the defender
of human slavery, and speaks of
him again as this "perjured Irishman,"
who strove TO destroy the Union which
had done so much for him, and as evi
dence Of his treason refers to the tribute
of sympathy contained in the dispatch
from Mr.. Jefferson Davis to a recent
meeting held in Memphis. Such an
peais to the narrow and lingering preiu-
diees Of the war and the baser Or, iu-
dices Of human nature have appeared
in several of the Northern papers, be.
traying a spirit Of malice which is doubt
less communicated TO many Of theil
readers. John Mitehels name is IN
furnished, and these petty assaults only
brighten his character when brought
into contrast with his ~traducers. Dc

deeds live after him, and will b,

pay him, for he has been elected two
years at this big salary in anticipation
Of Just such a crisis Now, our people
cherish the public ,eAools aud desire to
see them maintained on just principles,
and the School Board ought to recognize
the fact that the schools were established
to educate the people, and Lot to awe
sinecures or Eat salaries to hvorites.
The people are utdcr no obligation to
establish schools for the benefit of
superiutepdep,s or principals With
rigid economy the schools can be run
eight or nine months in the year on a
tax Of one mill and still not reduce the
school facilities materially below the
present standard, In the first place re-
dace the Superinterdent's salary to
$500 for nine months work, dismiss the
secretary and the six principals, and ie'
Quire the superintendent to do their
work, or so much Of it as it is neces-
sary to do. This will Effect a saving Of
$4,000. If Mr.. Picket is unable or un.
willing to do it let him resign, and
| believe q person may be found within
.wo weeks both able and willing Then
let the Board abandon its luxurious
quarters in odd Fellows Hall aud re-
move to Market street, where they have
an empty room. This will save $500
rent. Let them return to the Adams
street house, which they can get AND re-
pair for $500. This will save $500 Let
them send the babies on Third street
home to their mothers and concentrate
the larger pupils in other schools. This
will save $500 more OF reut. Here are
Slf0o rent saved in these tLree items.
Let them reduce rents in other direc-
tons to correspond with The times. Let
them overhaul their %jAnitOr arrange
ments; $500 or $500 may be saved
here, aud $1,000 more ought to be saved
in feel, printing, stationery and miscel-
laneous expenses. Ten let them re-
grade and ~reorganize their schools
and dispense with useless and inefficient
teachers. A radical hand could
reduce expenses amazingly. II these
reforms are made there will be no neces
sity-,or cutting down salaries Of hard
working, efficient teachers This is a
good time for the School Board to try its
hand at retrenchment. We would ad-
wise the Board to begin the work with
out delay-to day, the beginning Of
a new month-an even date to start
from. Should the Board refuse to yield
to this just demand for r%etrenchment
through their obstinate adherence to the
present extravsgant system, break down
the schools and force a suspension, the
people will hold them to a terrible &C
count. The people are resolved that the
schools shall be run, and run upon such
a system Of economy as will comport
with the present embarrassed condition
of the country. Should the Board re-
fuse they will be regarded as covert enc
mics Of public schools.

Assault Upon the county Ceurt.

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
The School Board ring is paving the
way for an assault upon the people
through the County Court. Curtailed
by recent legislation of their former IN
limited resources of reckless extrava-
gance, they purpose moving upon the
County Court for supplies of money
which the law does not permit them to
levy through the city authorities. They
are now limited TO one mill on the dollar
under the city charter. This will yield
them about S35, 900. The city schools of
Nashville, / am informed, seventy in
number, with nearly the same daily at.
tendance as those OF Memphis, cost last
year about $4,000; while those of Mem.
PMS, sixty-niue in number, cost about
800, 000-a difference Of about $50 900.
These, / understand from Hon. Luke
FInlay, to be about the facts of the case.
