senator Carpenter on His Defeat.

MILWAUKEE, February 9.-Senator
Carpenter delivered an address at the
Academy of Music this evening. The
halLwas quite full at seven o'clock, and
hundreds were unable to secure admit
tance. The speaker referred briefly to
his recent defeat, which he attributed
largely to the opposition Of railroads.
De paid high compliment to Mr.. Cam
erOn, senator elect, whom he knew to
be firm and consistent Republican.
He renewed at some length the recent
speech of Ex-senator DOOlittle, and COM
nenred severely upon the recommends
lions of that gentleman for the abolition
OF secret ballot and the establishment of
educational qualification in the south
In conclusion, he urged his friends to
forget personal disappointments and "a.

THE SCHOOLS.

Our educational matters are getting in
good shape. The money due tho teachers
will be paid at the earliest possible day.
We have no idea that th9 teachers will
lose n single dollar. Tho taxes for the
year 1873 will be paid in. The collect,
ors are under promise to collect and pay
oyer these taxes. When this has been
done, there will be- surplus of schoo'
mo ney in. the treasury. The educational
out look for the county is far better thar
it ever has been.
Some, who are not very favorably dis,
posed toward public schools, have taken
the troubl, TO circulate the report thai
the scbod money had been squaudered
Such is not the case. A good portion Of
it is yet in the hands of the tax payers
There is reason for teachers takipg
courage. Let them perpare to teach
better schools aud they will have goOC
reason to demand better wages.

Irving in the Northern and Western States

the Winter and eSpring, a large number

WHAT Is BEST TO RAISE,

Many Of the farmers in this county
think there is more money to be made
BY raising large crops Of wheat, than can
be made any other way on the farm, while
others are Of the opinion that they can
realize more money by raising large crops
oficorn and feeding it to hogs. We are
ofthe opinion that if more attention was
given to raising vegetables, selecting good
mich cows, making fine butter, raising
chickens aud selling eggs, that our people
would see much easier times and have more
money. Two or three acres properly cul>
tivAted in potatoes would bring as much
money as ten acres 10 wheat or corn. The
butter from one good mich COW would
furnish the groceries for a small
family, and one hundred hens with good
attention would furnish eggs enough to
supply the economical housewife with
more change than she would have use
form buying the necessaries for the fam.

WHY rs 1T.

We notice that those Directors who
gave the least thought and the least

the greatest amount of objections. Why
is this the caseP Where these officers
properly discharge their duties, success
has, in every instance, crowned the labors
of the deserving teacher, Asa rule, those
who make the greatest fuss against the
school system know the least about It.

y Re-districting the County.

Editor Herald and Tribune As
some parties are trying to stir up an unN
necessary feeling towards the members of
the County Court, who voted to re-dis>
trict the county, it is hoped that no
reasonable citizen Of the county will form
on opinion for or against the measure,
until he gives the matter, the considera-
ton to which its Importance entities it;
and in forming an opinion upon such a
question, every one Should rise above
selfish considerations.
The Constitution Of Tennessee, ACT ):
Sec, Is, reads: 'The different counties
Of this State shall be laid of, as the
General Assembly may direct, int, dis.
tricts Of convenient size, so that the
whole number in each county shall not
exceed twenty-five, or four for every QUE
hundred square miles,"
The General Assembly Code, Sec 10Y
says: 'For every 5000 qualified voters
and upwards there shall be twenty-five
districts" "Shall be-" says the Law !
Shall not be, says those who oppose the
enforcement of the law, yes those who
have solemnly sworn to support and en-,
force in a special manner our laws.
But to eyade this law It is said, we
have not got 5000 voters in Washington
County. On page 5 of the Acts Of the
Called Session Of the Legislature of 1872,
I find in Gov. Jon. c. Browns Message
these figures based upon the sworn re,
port Of Es. s. Mathes census commits,
sionsr To wit: Voters in Washington
County S,240.
Now gentlemen, you who attack thi,
measure should direct your assaults upon
the constitution, the code of Tennessee,
the message of Gov. Brown and the Re.
port of Mr.. Mathes and not upon the
members Of the court who have resolved
toeuforcethe laws as they are written and
not as they would have them if unwrit,

THE COUNTY COURT.

The action Of the Magistrates respect
ing the school interest was very commend
able. The amount of money voted to the
public schools is larger than it was last
year. Under all the circumstances, this
is indeed encouraging. We need no
better evidence of the growing interest
in behalf OF our public schools. The
Magistrates, many Of them, are alive to
the Importance of sustaining the educa
tional interest. While some opposition
is found to the system. still the people
will not be satisfied with anything less
than a good school system. Agi,ate the
question. Honor to the Worshipful
Ceunty Court. Let us make Washington
the banner county Of the State.

R"E-DISTRICTING COUNTY

An order passed the county Court
to re,district the county. There are
now 10 civil districts. According to
the Code Of Tennessee the county is
Untitled to rs civil di tricts. In the
next place, the districts as they now
exist are very irregular and i'll shaped.
The boundaries r badly defined, and,
in many cases, unknown. The civil
districts are school districts, the irreg.
ular shape of which is the cause OF
much contention and often i'll feeling,
Transfers are the cause of much trouble
and the remedy lies in re districting.
The boundaries of the d stricts. were
never marked or defined. No record OF
them has been preserved. We have
never been able to find q map of the
county.
The school law provides that the
school districts may be incorporated
for school purposes. This can not be
done from the fact that the boundaries
are unknown. In many local. les a
local school tax would have been levied
If the districts had been Incorporated,
AS they now stand, district taxation is
impossible, hence one of the best and
strongest features ofthe school law has
been rendered IN operative.
The action Of the Court in this mat
ter will meet the appreciation of the
people, for great advantages are Ger.
tain to grow out of it. 1t is one of the
wlsest steps ever taken by the Court in
the direction of educational progress.
The school interest demands that
some change be made in the districts.
1t is an imperative necessity as every
one well knows who has had any ex.
perience in settling district quarrels.
