KNOXVILLE has four daily papers-ths
Press and Herald, Democratic; the

Granger organ, and issued in the after
tsrnoon, and lastly the Tribune, which
started on the 18th inst. Knoxville does
not contain possibly $1,000 inhabitants,
and the people of the surrounding couu-
try are perhaps not better patrons Of the
daily press than in other sections Of the
State. How all these papers can live and

THE people Of Knoxville are very
much exercised, if not indignant and
outraged, at Judge Trigg for turning
loose the other day a desperate character
named Coleman, who murdered a Miss
Bell in Knox county in 1862. Coleman
wss tried by some kind Of a military
court aud sentenced to be executed, but
got away and was not arrested for many
years. Judge Trigg now discharges him
on the ground that having been tried
once his life cannot again be put in
jeopardy for the same offense. There is
much feeling on the subject and severe
criticism.

Twice Married to each Other, and
Must Marry a Third Time.

James Parton not long since married
his step daughter, IN the State of Mas
sachusetts. After the marriage he
learned that the laws of that Common
wealth forbade the union in wedlock of
step father aud step daughter. De-
string to make the marriage legal one,
father and daughter came 20 New York
city and were REMARKED by Rev. DR..
Tying, and thus they have been twice
married to each other. Since the re-
marriage it has been discovered that
the church to which DR.. Tying belongs
pronoances the marriage of people o;
the relationship of Mr.. Parton and his
stop daughter as incest.
The pity is that the Church and State
do not perfectly harmonize as to what
constitutes the marriage relationship.
1t should not be this In one State and
that in another this in that church

Compulsory Education.

There is compulsory education bill
in the Legislature. What that body
will do with it remains to be seen. One
State after another have wheeled into
line In some shape or other on the qnes
ton of Compulsory Education, and 1t Is
probable that Pennsylvania is fated to
the same result. All the compul-
sorry education legislation is based on
wrong premises, or basis. 1t is all
based on the idea that mental culture
is the remedy for all the wrongs and
crimes among men. Such is not the
case. 1t is the culture of the moral or
religious qua tiles of men that must
prove remedy for wrongs and crimes.
But there is no use of preaching against
the union Of Education and State,
which these compulsory education laws
are; the world will have to learn by
sad experience what bitterness there is
N it, just as it had to learn the bitter
mesa of the union of Church and State.
A few huLdred years (which is short
time in the course of nations) will de-
velops system more iniquitous than
than the Moral and Religious system
that grew out Of the teachings of the
poor, righteous twelve fishermen who
followed the Redeemer of man, after
their system became united to the State
under the power Of Rome. Billions OF
money, and millions of lives have been
sacrificed to get the Church dismember-
ed from the State since then How
much money aud how many lives it will
take to dismember Education from the
State will be read in the ligh. of coiu-
ing days, thousand years after this

Railroad Euterprises.

Last week Congress voted to extend
the time for the construction and CON-

Monday, Montana granted three and q
half millions to aid this construction
and similar assistance is expected from
other States, directly and indirectly
affected, that will facilitate the attempts
of the corporation. At the close of
this week the Atchison and Sante Fe
road, just opened twenty miles in Col
orado, will be completed to Pueblo.
The Texas Pacific has four hundred
and fifty miles completed through Sher-
man and Fort Worth and is doing some-
thing between the Gila aud San Diego.
The South Pacific, now running from
San Francisco to Calienta, will open to
Los Angeles before July, BY which
time the bed will be graded via Cotton
and Gorgonio Pass to the Colorado
There are several thousand men work
ing on the Tehapichi Pass alone, and
greater numbers are being employed
on other divisions. These are all re.
note fields. Each of the undertakings
is very great and costly. Each will
open new aud valuable country to
settlement and industry, and the real
beginning and active prosecution of all
would be sufficient alone to remove
much of the remaining business inac-
tivity everywhere, and postpone if not
prevent its return. Ii the facts stated
