weapons is found in the fact that almost
daily we see the papers burdened with
accounts CT the death of our citizens
caused by the knife and bullet. Besides,
make the punishment adequate to the
o%ffense, and there will be fewer prosecu-
tons, and as a consequence the taxes Of
the people will be materially reduced,
such as payment of %juries &c.
There are other matters of which we
might say something, but think the fore.
going amongst the most important. l
have only limited at tho points, but if
occasion requires, I will elaborate them
in due time.
| can further say that I have no po-
litical sins to answer for, and in making
"A canvass, | can devote my attention to
something besides endeavoring to patch
up and defend a blurred political reputa-
ton. In conclusion, if l can get the
Republican nomination of a Convention
fairly gotten up, | will take it and do the
best | can for all.

BY referring to the first page Of to,day'S
paper it will be seen that Gen. Belknap,
Secretary Of War, has been guilty of a
crime for which he deserves the severest
punishment. For years he has been
guilty Of selling important positions, but
not until last week we're the facts known
to the public. 1t is said by some that
his conduct, will be %ruinous to the Re-
publican party. In our judgment it
csnnot DO SO. TIE pronptness with
which the Republican authorities are
acting to secure to him that punishment
chat he deserves, and the encouragement
that the party generally is giving those
In power to push his case through, will
rather have q tendency to strengthen the
party than weaken it.
From the evidence already adduced it
10 believed by some that his wife was the
eause of bis guilt. Strange that a man
occupying the position he did could be
ruled ana ruined by a woman. He Gers
tainly accepted the brides of his own free
will, and no matter how severe the pun>
ishment, all honest men will rejoice to
know that the law will be properly and
rigidly enforced against him.

THE MAN.

The educated man banks on a capital
whose value is permanent. His wealth is
not measured by the sale rate of stocks
and bonds. 1t is not subject to the vi>
cisitudes of trade and the fluctuations Of
the market. He occupies a place of
safety far above the reach Of the bulls and
bears of financial jobbery. The corrup-
tion of Rings aud ~despotism of m~onopolies
cannot fitch his treasure or depreciate its
worth in the exchanges of the world
Adversely may check his fortunes for a
time, and misfortune throw a cloud over
his future, but with brave confidence he
can reply npon the of a %cultiva
ted braiu (which moth aud rust cannot
corrupt, nor thieves break through and
steal" to tide him over difficulty and
disaster. The nan of culture and con
science is ever armed with a sword of
offence to smite error and wrong, and
equipped with a mail of triple steel to
resist the "barbed lances of folly" A
cultured mind is one Of the brightest or
nalpents Of the human character,

THAT CAUCttS,

Our GrceneEille letter this week fully
explains the object of the caucus held IN
that town last week, and we concur with
our correspondent in recommending to each
County in East Tennessee to hold their
meetings and organize for the coming
campaign, Our remarks last week were
intended merely as Il little pleasantly and
we hope our friends at G%reeneville will SO
understand it. The party in the first
Congressional district Is going to be we'll
organized, the prospects are flattering for
harmony aud good feeling with all the
sspiIants This indicates, and we might
nay, assure success.

OUR ROADS.

we are pleased TO learn that several
of!!our overseers of roads in this county are
now doing their duty and are getting their
sections in fine conditions. We have
been requested to publish the law in re-
gard to public roads. but not being able
TO get it complete, publish the following,
and in some future issue will have some>
thing more to say in regard to it.
The law Classics our roads as follows 1:
First class roads must be % feet wide,
clear Of stumps. rocks, or cutters. Sec
Cpd class II feet wide and must be kept
in as good condition as the first. Third
class must be 7 feet wide and clear of all
distractions. The fourth class Is simply
= bride way, for the parpose of going to
mill &c. on horseback.
It is the duty of the County Court in
each County in the State, to class roads
into four classes as above stated, and to
assign to the first, second and third classes
Q competent number Of hands to keep
them in good repair. 1t is also the duty
Of the court to designate to each overseer
the boundary in which bis hands reside,
20 that no man will have to work on more
than one road.
All new roads arc to be ordered by
The County Court.
The Court has the right and full power
TO open new roads and make changes,
when it is for the public good. and to
discontinue any road when deemed right
and proper as for the best Interest Of the
public.
All male persons over the age Of IS
years and under the age of As years shall
be liable to work on roads, except the
following, viz: the Governor, Secretary

directors, all persons disabled by sick>
ness from performing Common labor and
idiots.
The fine for failing or refusing to work
when after being properly summoned
BY the overseer, is $500. No overseer
il bosnd to serve more than one year IN
every Eve, but he will be considered as
holding bis place until he returns the
order Of his appointment. although be
may hold the order more than o year.

E.. N. GR1rr1ru.

Nh, Edilor:-In the last issue of
your valuable paper, you indulged in a
little bit Of pleasantry-relative to a
certain Caucus held in a neighboring
town." and by a latitudlnous construction
endeavored to conjecture aud yentilate
its object: and, by the way, your caustic
remarks have been va%riously Interpreted
by our Democratic brethren, as indicative
of a disruption in our ranks at the very
incipiency of the present campaign. Let
nae explain.
There was a meeting of representative
Republicans held during Court for the
purpose of securing unity and harmony.
1t assembled, not to test tue numerical
strength, nor to enhance the political
interest of any Congressional aspirant,
but to institute a rigid system Of party
dicipline that the distorted and rebellious
factions, which have hitherto manacled
and jeopardlzed the success of our party,
might succumb to the spontaneous desire
for victory. that we might meet
our enemies in solid phalanx in August
and November.
District committees were appointed and
a central committee organized for confer.
cree, distribution, and general consuita>
ton, and now Doctor by way of digre ssion,
don't you think our caucasian example
worthy of imitation by the Republicans
of each county in the LIST. Congressional
District.
The paramount wish, the prevailing
inclination of our people, in tho coming
contest, is to secur political harmony,
we are going to have it, by resorting to a
political expedient. of repudiating the
claims of oil asplrants, save the nominees
of delegated conventions. We have had
factions, divisions aud d~lsintegrations in
the District, till we are verging on disso.
luton. Let us return to our primitive
practice. Sacrifice our personal prefer
euce, for our political advancement, and
the redemption of the LIST. District is only
a matter Of computation of time.
Greene County bias ier quota of would
be Congressman, but unfortunately for
them she cant spare them just at this
%lnoppertune time. She wants their
services at home; then, again, she is
gently reminded that she plighted allegi-
auce to the distinguished civilian Of
Hawkins County during the last Cons
gressional race, on stipulated conditions
and that those conditions were complied
with.
Will she refute such considerations
with base ingratitude? No never. She is
not forgetful of the past nor respondent
about the future, but with an efficient
system of Organization, if the general con-
v%ention will give us a standard bearer
a native ,of the "manor borh'-victory
triumphant will be heralded to the breeze.
In another communication, l will give
you the reHexive views, or the current and
expressed opinion of old Greene, regard
ing the Congressional aspirantS, from a
present, and prospective standpoint.
Yours,

S, A. Bowel who taught ut Chucky

last Friday with an examination. We
attended the exercises and enjoyed
them very much. Mr. Bowel has
taught with much success and We feel
quite sure that he has governed his
school better and accomplished more
than any teacher that has been there for
several years. 1t mean something to
govern q school at the present, when
children control their parents, and do
just as they please at home.
The examination was fairly conduct,
ed. A good number Of the citizens
attended. A spelling match closed
the exercises, and John Northington,
gained the prize "a book,
D. A. Thompson, closed his school
at M~cGardy's on Friday evening, We
were disappointed in not being able to
attend. Mr.. Thompson has been teach.
ing for a number of years. His school
has made excellent progress, and he
himself has improved greatly in meth
OILS of teaching and governing. II G
closing exercises are highly spoken of
by those who attended. The citizens
of the neighborhood were present IN
large Numbers. Mr.. Thompson is a
popular teacher and always manages to
have a good school. This district needs
q good school house and we are surpris-
ed that the people do not agitatc this
question more generally. The people
are able to build a good, comfortable
school house and never miss tie time
or money.

In the United States there are about
seven millions Of youths of school age.
AT least one half of this number do not
appear on the school register, either be,
cause they have not the opportunity or
have not the inclination. Three million.
and a half of children are absent from
school! The thought is appalling. What
a mass of Ignorance and worthlessness to
be turned loose upon the country! These
ranks will Gil our jails and penitentiarles
aud supply the gallows with har
dened victims for the next generation
Crime and ignorance 60 hand in hand.
We will reap the harvest in due time.
