SENATOR KEY.

Sometimes in the history of q
country, 4 crisis comes. and parties,
rings or cliques seem to control. 1t
is admitted that the people want to
do right, but there is such q com
bination of circumstances against
them that it appears almost impos-
sible for public servants to rise above
party and dare to do what is duty.
This is such 4 time. Unheard of
corruption has reigned I'm the coun-
ellis of the nation. Under the speci-
ous plea of loyalty, puppets have
committed such outrages that de-
cency held down her head in shame
and honesty and patriotism almost
despaired. These outrages caused
the election of Democratic or OPP
position Congress. A few of the
dark and damning sins of the Re-
publicans began to be unveiled.
Morton and such as he trembled.
They saw power gliding from their
hands. They discovered that the
honest masses Of the Northern
States could not longer be led by
controlled, and they knew this could
only be done by arousing the South
ern States to say and do rash things.
Blaine succeeded admirably. He
threw the bate and Hill caught.
Morton attempted the same thing in
the Mississippi Investigation bill.
By taunts and inuendoes he would
get Southern Democratic Senators
10 repeat Hills fdtefr pas. He would
send a committee to Mississippi, and
Southern newspapers would write
fiery editorials and thus furnish cam
paiSn documents for the Radical
party in the canvass next summer.
At Washington city, quietly watch
ed and worked Senator from Ten
nessee. He had been reared in a
school Of patriots, but there rested
upon him the brand Of the rebellion.
1t was not expected that he would
say or do much any way, but when
the time came he would, like others,
repel every insult to his beloved
South. If he said or did anything.
it must be in the interest of the
Radicals. What q surprise the re-
suit must have been TO these schem-
ers! His speech rang out clearly,
sonorously: "Send the Committee! |
If our people in Mississippi have

BRANNER FEMALE COLLEGE.


We learn that the Branner Broth
-ers have secured the palatial and
magnificent country residence OF the
late Col. John X. Branner. at Messy
Creek with about two hundred acres
of the fine land attached to it., with
a view of at once establishing a first
class female school, to be under the
supervision OF a corps of thoroughly
competent educators. It is intend
ed BY the projeciorslEof the school
that it shall be one that shall fur
nish as comprehensive and thorough
a, course of instruction rs is found in
the best institutions of a similar
character in the country. The en-
terprise has been mainly brought
about through the exertionS of Mr..
Jos. A. Branner, who has, we learn,
had q hearty support and eneonr-
agement given HMM perfeeting tue
lease by his brothers, Coils. c. NJ.
Branner, Of Knoxville. and b. NJ.
Branner. OF Messy Greek, men Of ex-
tensiye means, liberal views, large
hearts, and great public spirit, as,
in fact, lis characteristic of all the
Branners we have ever known. The
property thus secured is most adj
mirably adapted for the purposes for
which it was leased. and the enter
prise will redown to the honor of
the Branner brothers by being last
ing benefit TO the country and the
community. 1t is with the sincerest
pleasure we chronicle the presence
of such men in a communicated
the only regret we have is, that we
so. seldom have occasion to call at
tention to such.
The property secured for this pur-
pose is one Of the most desirable and
finest in the State, IN a country that
cannot be surpassed for beauty and
healthfulness and surrounded by an
intelligent. Industrious and Christian
society. Under the business man.
agement of Mr.. j. A. Branner it can
be made blessing TO EastlTennes-
see, and one of the best schools in
the South. He commands every
thing in the way of house, grounds
and means to make it success. All
that is now necessary to make Mos
sy Greek the great school center for
East Tennessee, with the natural
advantages she has, is for herpeople
to be united in support of this enter
prise in conjunction with the noble
school they now have. From what
we know of Mr.. Branner he will have
only frst-cIass teachers to take
charge of the different departments
educators thoroughly competent TO
impart instruction to the most adj
vanced pupil, and in every way de-
serving the patronage of the public.
Every one who may patronize Bran
ner Female College may rest assur-
ed that nothing will be left undone
for the comfort and thorough men
tai training of their daughters. There
viii be ample room, every facility,
corps Of teachers that cannot be ex-
celled. a pleasant, healthy location,
cheap board, and good society. All
this ought to, and no doubt will, at
tract a great many new students
even to the first session.

THE NASHVILLE LIFE INSU
ANCE COMPANY

AAOE COMPANY.
The following letter from Life In
surance Commissioner Morrow pub
lished in the American, gives the
present status of the Nashville Life
Insurance Co., in which many of our
citizens and readers have risked
their money, and about which theg
have felt much disappointment
and uneasiness. It is certainly to
their interest. we think, from the
pledge given by Mr.. Morrow, that
they should not give up their poll
cies, but keep them alive and reap
the advantages of the reinsurance
which he will affect. We confess
we always had confidence in the
Company's integrity, and were as
tonished when the rumors of its
rickety condition were first announ-
ced still it is nothing like as bad as
it was first represented, and it is
NOW pretty evident that those who
will suffer at all will suffer by their
own too hasty action. and by not
availiHg themselves of the advice
given by the Commits 5ioner. His
letter follows:
On yesterday, April ii, I filed bill
in Chancery, prepared with great care
by Ed. Baxter. This brought every one
to realize the Importance of action.
Last night an adjustment was agreed on,
which | am sure viii be approved by
policy holders All the assets of every
description are to be placed in W. II.
Smiths hands In trust for the re-insur-
ance of the policy holders in some good
company He cannot use a dollar of the
assets without my appreciation; he and l
are empowered to effect a reinsurance.
An effort was made (prior to filing the
bilD to re-insure in the Columbian of st.
Louis, or rather that company proposed
to buy the stock of the Nashville Life
and step in their shoes. This trade is
now off, as in my bill enjoined it, feel
ing that it was not the best company to
be had / mean asked for an ihjunc-
ton. The Nashville Life was impaired
below our legal requirement just $2S,
SS4, and had this company been in pos
session of the death losses paid since
January 1st, they would have hal assets
enough to comply and so on with the
new business. .lst-
So far the protection they are entitled
to will be extended to all pOlicy-holders
who keep up their policies, and [ have
no doubt of being able to re-insure. I
would be glad to have an Indication of
the preferences of few of your most
policy-holders as to the compa-
ny they would prefer. w. MoRRow.
