PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE CITY.

The rapid growth and the high standing
of the public schools Of this city are a mat.
ter Of just pride on the part of every citizen,
and while the city council has no direct
control of them, they should be fostered and
sustained, not only by the city govern.
ment, but by every citizen. The
independent school board in
their unpaid and unself.h devotion to the
interests and cause of education are we'll de.
serving the hearty thanks Of the citizens Of
this city.
The school board should in my humble
judgment, be kept as clear rs possible from,
mixing in political and secular questions
arising in the city, as the very ~interes',

Fox SPRINGS, CLAY County, TENN,
May IA, l878.-There is living within
one mile of this place one Lafayette
Clinton, who in the spriag OF 1872 bad
the misfortue to get severely crushed in
a tobacco hogshead beneath a very
heavy prize, from which he received so
much injury-his backbone being brok-

was believed by all he must die. Bat
he survived, and is still living. Soon
after be got crushed his feet and legs be-
gun to perish, and we're soon reduced to
skin and bones, from the soles of his
feet to the extremities, near the waist.
They seem to be as warm as that por.
ten Of his body which is alive, but he
says they are entirely without feeling.
He keeps around his legs, near the
ankles, a string, tied together at the
ends, through which be puts a stick, and
moves them about when be wishes.
Some time ago there was discovered a

The Bogot will case, in Dublin, is GER

that has engaged the attention of a
British court since the Tiehborne claim

TOPPER Neville Bogot, o member OF a
wellkuoWn Irish family, left his home in
1874, and amsssed a fortune in Austria
liza. In 1860 he returned and purchased
an estate in county Galway. While
hunting in England, he was thrown from
a horse, and sustained such serious ipju-
ries that he was paralyzed from the hips.
In London be wal married to Alice Yer
ner, a young sister Of Sir William Yer
ner. The marriage took place at a
hotel at midnight, in August, 1875. lie
died in May, 1877, leaving a large estate.
By the will the widow was cut off with
an annuity Of $4,000; the paternity of
her child was denied, but $4,000 was
left to the lad on his attaining his thir-
teeuth year; and the bulk of the estate
weat to the eldest brother OF the testator.
The widow has brought suit to break the
will. The latest European mail con-
tsins the brothers testimony. The tes-
tator had told him that he would
never have married if Mrs. Bogot
had not protested the greatest love and
affection for him; that she used to spend
sixteen hours With him out Of the TWEEN
ty.four at the hotel, and that she said all
she wanted was to take care Of him and
nurse him. He said he was afraid it was
a rash act, as he had heard that the Yer
ners were a very irregular family. He
said that Lady Werner was a desperately
wicked, passionate woman that she and
her husband used to fight most feartullyi
that she used to take the diamonds of
her head and fling them into the FIRE, and
smash the furniture, He also said that
when the late Sir William Werner was
dying, she took the family away, and left
him to die like a dog On IN occasion

Lady Werner came down stairs aud asked
what these " internal orgies" we're. The
witness said that his brother also told
him that Sir William Werner threatened
to throw his mother u Of the window if
she did not leave the room.

REPUBLICAN, EXAsPERAr1nH

The Republicans are exaspersted over
their signal and disgrac,ful defeat in the
house. They we're not able to contain
themselves ror 10 curb their anger, and
thus sought relief by issuing an address
to the country. The address is weak in
deed, giving no other reason for this op
position than that the investigation de.
manded by the resolution would paralyzs
the business Of the country. How an
investigation having for its only purpose
the detection Of fra1d can produce such
result is a mystery. The true reason o
the Radical opposition is the knowledge
that the frauds that will be unearthet
will disgrace many leaders Of the crumb

demand that the astounding self.aceusa

President should be investigated, and, il
possible, disproved. But they do nc
such thing. They retort with childish
accusations against Mr. Tilden, and keer
up a continual howl about the %inviols
bility OF Mr.. Hayes title, whatever may
be proved against him. The matter Of
the title comes 10 later. No one wants

stolen and Harris got up a subscription
among the steerSge passengers to make
good the loss, Seven or eight pounds
was realized; FIVE dollars was given to
Spun by Harris, the latter having de-
terred full payment on the pretence that
he desired to have the English money
converted into American currency.
After the charge OF larceny was made,
Harris declined to pay the money, but
on being questioned by Justice WaDdell
he admitted hat he still had it. The
case was then sent to Special Sessions
for immediate disposition, as Spun was
going West, when Harris was sentenced
to the p~enitentiary for three months.
