Tribute of Respect.

The undersigned committee, appoint
cd by the Presbyterian Sunday School,
to draft resolutions in regard to our late
companion, JAMES MCCALLUM ROGERS,
respectfully submit the following pre-
amble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, Our school so seldomiy
hitherto has been deprived of any of its
members by death, but is now called by
the dealing of Providence to put on the
enslgnia of mourning and experience
the deepest feeling of grief because of
the death in youths bloom of our COM
panion, James McCallnm Rogers, who
died June 4th, 1873; and
WHEREAS, Our companion was in all
his conduct as a child, brother, play and
school mate filial and devoted, affection
ate and kind, lovely in disposition, dill
gent and faithful In duty, leaving be-
hind him the well deserved name of ga
good boys" and
WHEREAS, We "mourn with those
who mourn" because the voice of him
WHOM they love is still, and his seat will
be ever vacant; yet "reioice with those
who rejoice because the child, brother
and companion is now free from his
long and patiently endured suffering,
and lives in peace and bliss In the pres
ence of Him who has said of all such as
Jimmie, Brother come up higher"
Therefore ReSolred, LIST. That in the
death Of our companion our school has
lost one whose example is worthy OF
imitation, and of his memory we cherish
the most pleasant recollections and
mourn his absence.
ID. That 70 his parents, brothers and
sisters we tender osr sympathieS in this
their sorrow and bereavement,
Sd. That copy of these resolutions
be sent 10 the parents and to the Pu-
lask CITIZEN for publication.

Mrs. Kate Sothern.

The New York Herald urges
Gov. Colquitt of Georgia, as an act
of common justice to issue a full
and free pardon to Kate Sothern,
who killed the woman who swore
she would take Mrs. SOthern's
husband from her-an act that every
virtuous man and woman in the
land will applaud. The shedding OF
human bloodsin any manner is an
awful thing to contemplate, but
when a woman prostitutes herself
to the black and nefarious purpose
of taking a mans affections from
his wife to place them upon her own
vile self, she becomes no less q
fiend than the ungOdly william who
enters che domestic circle and rObs
the husband of his wIfe's affections
and her virtue-and either deserves
the death of a dog. Society is all
the better when the earth IS rid Of
such beings, and while it Is unfor-
tunnte that Kate Southern was drIv-
en- to Sc desperate a resort, the enor-
nifty of the propagation should
condone the offence against the

J. Z. 7. Sneed for Governor.

There would be a kind of poetic
justice in making Judge Sneed the
next Governor of Tennessee. His
whole life has been an uninterrupt
ed series of noble, chivalrous deeds,
There has never been a cloud or
shadow on his pure and spotless
escutcheOn. Eight years ago he
was called to the Supreme bench
by the unanimous wish of his ma
tive State. How earnestly he has
labored and how deeply he has
wound himself about the affections
Of the people, they alone can tel.
There is not hill top or valley
in Tennessee where his name is not
revered and loved. And yet, be-
cause ne was unwilling to use the
arts of the politician to secure a re
nomination to the position he has
filled with so much distinction he
was permitted to he defeated. Shame
on such a public sentiment. But
let Tennessee redeem the wrOlg by
making him governor. The word
passes along the line and soon we
believe it will swell into a nomina-
tion by acclamatiOn.- Brownsville

Agricultural News.

The June returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicate an in
crease of fully , per cent. in the
area planted in cotton. The per
centage, as compared with the acre
age of 1877, are: Virginia, 100;
North Carolina, IO1; South Caro-
lima, IO3; Georgia, 100; Florida,
100; Alabama, 104; Tennessee, 90.
The condition of the crop is better
than in June last year. The figures
indicating it are the same as in
1877 in Virginia, Georgia and Lou
isiana and higher in all other States
as follows: Virginia IS, North Caro-
lima 81, South Carolina 80, Georgia
IOI, Florida SIS, Alabama 101, Mis-
81 ,sippl 9S, Louisiana 90, Texas II,
Arkansas %, Tennessee 81. The
average of condition is 80.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1878-06-20

BY the last census there were
nearly 100000 of planters and far
mers who owned their lands. There
were about an equal number of men
who rented lands or worked as
iarm hands. In the South these
were mostly freedmen, but in the
North farmers sons. The number
of land renters in the North is small
as compared with the number of
land owners. The whole number
of men who work the soil for a liv
ing, including tenants, hired labor
ers and farmers sons, is not
far from 100000 and represent
about 100000 of families, or more
than half the total population of
the American people.

Germany Ripe for a Republic

Since the attempted assassination
of the Emperor William, affairs in
Germany have been of an unsettled
condition. A London special says
that private letters received from
Berlin speak of public feeling as be-
ing profoundly disturbed. No one
ventures to speak only in eXtenua
ton of Nobeling's. crime, but in
private, men say the country is ripe
for a republic. France, now under
republican rule for some years, Is
prosperous, rich and happy. Ger
many, under the empire, is poor,
depressed, wretched. Worse still,
the alliance between the Gar and
the Emperor is dangerous. Germa
ny may find herself dragged into a
war in which she has no concern.
She is kept with her hand upon her
SWORD, gand people; many, of whom
find it difficult to get bread to eat,
are compelled to maintain an I'M
mense army. The popularity of the
Crown Prince is as nothing compar-
ed with that of the Emperor.
Should the Emperor die, a republi-
can revolution might he attempted.
