The Peabody Fund.

The American learns that Superinten-
dent Trousdale has received letter from
DR.. Sears, agent for the Peabody Fund,
stating that he had made an appropria-
ton of $12, 900 for Tennessee. OF this
amount SO, 600 goes to the State Nor
NAL College, and the remaining 5000
will be apportioned by the State Super
intendent of Public Instruction. The
letter states that the reduction of the
appropriation from SIS, 900 70 So, 900 is
on account of the non-payment of the
interest on a portion of the Peabody
School Fund. which caused reduction
of 40 per cent, the fund being largely
composed of Tennessee bonds. But
Notwithstanding this fact Tennessee gets
So, 600 more than any other Southern
State. Superintendent Trousdale says
that the public pulse steadily grows
stronger in favor of public schools.

HISTORY OF BLIND TOM.
A Remarkable Case of RecOgni-
ton.

MoRRIsTowN, Nov. IA, 1877.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
AS there was a large crowd out last
night at the Court House, in Morris
town, to hear that wonder of the world,
Blind Tom, perhaps some account of him
would be interesting to your readers.
/ suppose that / was the only one pres
ent of all his hearers, except his pro-
prietOrs, that he recognized; and it is
really matter of establishment that he
knew me-and that was by my voice
as so long a time had elapsed since met
before, being nearly Is years. I then
travelled with him from Mobile to Sell
ma, Ala, on board of a steamboat, and
had not seen him since until last night
at the concert. l spoke to him and i'm
mediately he recognized me, and called
me by name. | asked him where he
met me before. He replied, con the
steamer Henry j. Hing, from Mobile to
Selma, Alabama" Said I to him, ''Tom,
do you remember the song learned you
on that trip ?" Eyes, SIR" he replied,
cit was the San Bright OIinae;" all of
which was strictly true. Blind Tom
was born slave, near the city of Colum-
bus, Ga, and is l suppose, about 81
years of age. He was the property of
General Bethune, of that city, who was
then travelling with him, and is yet his
guardian, and is now living at Warren
ton, in Virginia, but has leased or hired
Tom to Mr.. Warhurst and Dr. Eubank.
General Bethune gave me this account
of Blind Tom, that when a child, not
more than three or four years old, he
would come about the door where the
young ladies, the Miss Bethunes, were
playing the piano, and seemed to be
charmed with the music, and when they
would go out of the room, he would
climb up to the instrument and touch
the keys. The young ladies finding
that he was so fond of it, rather as
matter of amusement began to give him
some instructions, and it was but a little
while until he could far excel them.
And thus he has continued until he has
really aStonished the world. His soul
seems to be all music, and he turns ev-
erything he hears into music. On the
trip alluded to when / was with him, he
composed piece that he called The En-
CINE, just from hearing the movements
of the engine. How astonishing that he
can perform any piece of music cey5GtsDl
after hearing it once. But the world
will never see his like again.
Yours, HI. p. WAUGH.

THE EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEG
LsLA TT1RE AND ITS WORK.


The Constitution of Tennessee pro-
vides that the Governor "nay, on extra
ordinary occasions, convene the General
Assembly by proclamation, 'but
they shall enter on no legislative bust
ness except that for which they were
specially called together"
Deeming an offer by the creditors of
Tennessee to compromise with her, at
90 cents on the dollar, a matter so i'm
portant that it constitutes ian extra
ordinary OCCASION" Gov. Porter has
called the General Assembly to meet on
the 5th day of December. He has stated
in his proclamation, as was his duty to
do, for what purpose they are called.
BY the constitution, the proclamation
sets metes and bounds to their authority
while in session. He has called them
-''to consider the recommendation made
by the arbiters at the conference held
at New York in March, 1877, to adjust
the State debt by the issuance of new
six per cent bonds at the rate of sixty
per cent. of total amount of principal
and past due interest"
So far as compromise is concerned,
the Legislature would be oct of its reck-
onings should it attempt 10 legislate
about 40 per cent. or 80 per cent. 1t
would have no authority to pass any law
Offering other terms than so per cent.
So far as the extra session is concerned,
it must accept the terms offered, or do
nothing. Our opinion is, it must accept
this offer now, or forever loose the gold
en- opportunity.
This is as it should be. Tennessee is
a great and growing State. She cannot
afford to tarnish her fair name by fore
ing a compromise upon her creditors
which they are not willing to accept.
She cannot afford to offer a compromise.
But when one is offered her, she can af-
ford to accept it. Her legislature ought
to accept it. Her representatives will
not reflect the will of her people if they
fail or refuse to accept it. But Gov.
Porter has acted wisely in limiting the
Legislature to the consideration of this
single proposition; for if the Legislature
were to assemble with the whole sub
jeet open for their consideration, there
would be just alone one hundred plans
for compromise proposed. Every man
would present his own pet idea, would
insist upon his own per cent. as a COM
promise-would sickle for his own ideal
of the class of bond to be issued. The
pugnacity of some men would cause
them to fight the 60 per cent. PROPOSE
ton, only because it did not originate
with them. The demagoguery inner
emit in the bones of others would induce
them to insist upon a low per cent. of
compromise, in order that they might
be able to tell the dear people" of the
millions they had saved by insisting up
on their own proposition.
AS it is, the General Assembly have
only to give reply to business men in
a business way. They are called to-
gether to say Eyes" or mo" When
they have said the one, or the other,
their power will have been exhausted,
