The Southern Investigating Committees are busy gathering up evidence. The Senate Committee in Louisiana find abun- dant evidence of "bull dozing.' some of it of quite serious character. On the other hand the House Committee have heard large number of colored witness es testlfying to having been "bulldozed" by their black brethren. They have also obtained considerable evidence showing the untrustworthiness of the Returning Board and of the afidavits used before them, and their disregard. of the restric- tions of the statute from which their au . thority is derived.

SCHOOL MON EY.

The school money for 1875 will not
be taken to pay the debts due teachers
for previous years. The County court
seemed to favor something of the
kind, but we deem it improper to make
any such needless change. 1t will not
mend the matter. The county is hon.
orably bound for these old debts due
the teachers, in as much, as the school
money has been used for other pur-
poses. We hope the teachers will be
IS patient as possible. We can not
justify the action Of the Comfy Court
in delaying the matter. The teachers
are the sufferers, as they are not allow.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In a few months, the Republicans in
this district, will meet in convention for
the purpose of nominating a candidate
for Congress. Several of our leading
Republicans arc aspirants. and the friends
Of each have already commenced active
work. Under existing circumstances
u is very strange that sorc Of the aspi-
rants will allow thelr names to be used in
this connection. If we expect to be sue
eessful in the canvass, it will require the
united vote of the party, and to secure it,
We will have to secure harmony in our
W ranks. 1t will be too bad if we sub
init to Democracy again, and allow this
strong Republican district to be repre-
scented by the Democracy of the Ben.
Hill stripe. 1t is we'll known to the party
that two years ago, after Judge Gillen-
waters had made the can vass, and after it
was found that Judge Butler was not
willing to submit his claims to a Con-
veutioa, that Gillenwaters retired from
the race, in order that the party should
not be beaten, and if SO, that he would
not be responsible for the defeat.
That Gillenwaters is the choice of a
large majority of the Republicans can not
be doubted. He is q true man, and one
in whom every one has perfect confidence.
he is well posted on political subjects and
in a thorough canvass would entirely de,
molish the strong hold that Democracy
has secured in this District. He would
not only be able to redeem the District,
but would aid greatly 10 securing Re.
publican Representatives from most Of
the counties for our next Legislature
He is certainly the strongest aud NEST
available man that could be placed on
the track, and is therefore entitled to the
hearty support of all true Republicans.

would get into a controversy with them,
and thus bring their weak bantling into

up an argument, they fcOlishly expect to

allude to the senior editor of this paper

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

We notice that Hon. Jake T~hornburg,
is alive to the interest of bis people ia
the second Congressional District, in re-
gard to getting appropriations from Con,
gress for the improvement of the rivers,
to make them navigsble at all seasons of
the year. We have recently conTersed
with a number Of intelligen, citizens wto
live near the Holston river in this dis.
trict, and who are anxious that our Rep.
resentative should make an effort to Sc.
cure an appropriation for the purpose of
making the Holston navigaSlo to Kings,
port. or q few miles above that plscs, at
least during the winter and spring months,
when there 10 an abundance Of water.
Those who seem to be posted aud know
what they are talking about, say that il
it would not require a large Amount Of
money to make the Improvements necessa.
ry. We hope that Mr. Mcfarland will
give this subject his attention and if pos.
sible will secure the funds necessary, BY

large number Of his constituents, Who 70,

honeyfuddled by taking the advice of
those who on every occasion heretofore,
have shown their poisonous hatred for
this class Of u people. The Republi-

has been his open enemy, aud now for

SCHOOL TEACHING.

H. PREsNELL NO doubt you are
tired of my %scribbling, but I must say
something about school teachers and
school teaching. Let me say there are
masters and there are teachers. The
master is a grim old fellow, and his
power RS have no limit. He is rough, un
couth, unpleasant, and kind words he
never utters. All his talk il, like grows
ling, and all his conversation like quar-
reling. He has a voice like thunder, and
really thinks what he don't know is not
worth knowing. His government is
tyranuical. He forces, drives his pupils
instead of using gentle persuasion. He
boards around with his scholars,a and attn light
keeps his Conversational powers in full
operation. He endeavors to make the
parents believe that he is a Solomon.
He teaches "Fowler's 'Ri,hmetic" and
thinks "The Double Rule of Three is
far enough for the boys ''to Co." He
''larns' the boy, to cipher,and the gals
to write. He approves Of Spelling
Matches"-his pupils spell BY the yard.
He don't approve Of %prououuciug the
word before spelling it. He says, This
plan consumes too much time" He is
opposed to all new methods Of teaching,
and calls such yankee tricks" The
