would naturally be supposed that that
body and the executive would do justice
to an outraged people, and recognize
the just and legal government-but nc
the senate, subservient to the presi-
dent and to party, recognized Kellogg
in the teeth of the report of Senators
Carpenter, Logan. Anthony and Alcorn.
We cannot. in the limits of an ed
itorial article, speak OF all of the in
famies of the Kellogg government /;
under it the election laws retained their
most outrageous features aud were franz
ed more completely to place the state
uuder the domination of the executive.
Not satisfied with creating a court which
had sole jurisdiction of violations Of the
election laws in the state, the judge Of
this court of high jurisdiction was made
an appointee Of the governor. The new
legislature, which met in January, 1876,
being democratic, Gen. Beforehand, by
order of Gov. Kellogg, marched into the
hall Of the house of representatives with
. file of soldiers, and removed the DEM
~ocrats. that the republicans might have
everything their wi way. This brings
US down to the recent election, and what
do We find? A returning board discredit-

democrats. committing the browning act
in a ongdrama of infamy by disfran-
chising not only a state. but the whole
country. Asto the villainy of this board
We can pile republican testimony noun

our purpose now. These two gentle
men. with others. said, in their house
report, February Esd, 1875:
Upon this statute we are all clearly Of the opin-
len that the returning board has NO right to do
anything except TO canvass and compile the re-
turns which are lawfully made to them by the
local ~ofacers, except in cases where they were
accompanied BY the certificate OF the supervisor
Or commissioner, as pr0yidedin the third section.

THE TAX QUESTION.

talk among the good honest people in
regard to this matter. and with many
there has been a mystery about it that
has yet been satisfactorily eI-
planned. The Clerk of the Circuit

days trying with the evidence that can
be produced, to get the tangled enigma
in such a shape that it a he under
stood. Though VIC doubt whether he
will be able to make a success out Of
the investigation. While we have no
apology to offer for any officer who can
not show the exact amount of money
collected and paid over, it is hut justice
that each one connected with the col
lection. should have q careful and fair
investigation, an investigation conduct,

We are satisfied hat the clerk will
use all the means possible to secure a
fair and honest investigation, and
when he completes his work, if there
should be any thing new brought to
light, we will endevor to get the par.

WHO STRUCK BILLY PAT
TERyON.

This long mootted question was al
tempted to be decided in the Circuit
Court at G~reeneville last week Attorney
General Hacker. thoueht.he had found
the man and insisted that the evidence
was sufficient for the jury to beside the
question. The Attorney On the OPP
posite side was Of a different opinion,
and could see no evidence in the cause
that would justify the "twelve good
and lawful citizens in rendering such
q verdict. The Judge charged the
jury to decide accordingto' law and ev,
dence" and after celebrating carefully
with "u~uprejudiced minds" returned to
the Court Room with the verdict that
the prisoner at the bar was not the
man who struck Billy Patterson. This
leaves the question still open for dis
cussion as to every n except the
prisoner who has been acquitted by the
Courts OF his country.

NEWSPAPER MANIA.

We have never known this disease
prevail to slch an alarming extent in
this county, as at the present time.
Men seem wild to become interested
in the publication Of a paper. The
Journal with its fifty stock holders and
its large number Of editors, to combine
with the new paper that isto make its sp.
pearance next, week with more legal gen.
tlemen as editors, will no doubt make
one terrible and tremendous effort TO
silence the batteries Of the HERALD

assistance of those who have %patronizcd
us so literally for the last six and a
half years to be able to ''hce our row.
and make it warm for those who oppose
the principles we have advocated We
shall continue to work earnestly for
the cause of education, immigration
and the Republican party. We make
an earnest appeal to every reader of

interested in extending our circulation

Jury made a mistake IN indicting
Nicholas as was apparent to the Court,
it was the duty of him to see
that this did not defeat the ends of

not thought to be necessary to his

THE u SCHOOLS.

There will always be grumblers in
the world. AS q general thing, it is
throwing time away to argue with those
who have never taken the trouble to
examine into the workings Of the
school law. 1t is somewhat amusing
to hear such objections as the follow
ing raised a ainst the school system 4:
The school money all goes to pay the
officers, The children get no benefit
Of the money. The law ought to be
repealed, We are taxed to death"
hat does all this mean? Men who
talk in this way place themselves in
an unenviable position.
Hon John NJ. Fleming's report
shows that the entire official expenses
of carrying on the school system was
only i per cent of the money collected.
Under Sup't. T~rousdale's administra-
ton the expense will be less We
want Our people to read for themselves,
think for themselves and listen not to
those who plan to keep the masses in
ignorance. What business, embracing
such important details as q school sys.
TEN, can be carried on at such little
cost? We venture the assertion that
no business of the State is carried on
as cheaply as the school system. The
Tax Collector receives about sir per
cent for collecting. Who raises objec.
ton to that?
Now, who oppose supervision? In
the first, the opposition does not come
from successful business men, neither
does it come from the intelligent citizens
Of the county, nor does it come from
the men who pay the bluk Of the taxes
From what source then does the opposi,
tion come? We leave our readers 10
infer.
We admit there are objections to the
school law. 1t does not provid efficient
supervisor and never will as long as
the County Courts have anything to
d. in controlling the school interest OF
the county The State does not raise
money enough. The la~ does not pro,
vide for Normal Schools. Teachers
Institutes ought to be recognized and
carried on at the expense of the State.
