LUCIUs QUETIUs CURTIUs La
MAR, the great Mississippi Senator
with the classic name, has in time
past made vehement professions of
fairness and conservatism. His
eulogy on Charles Sumner met with
the approval and admiration of all
the better class Of people residing
in both sections Of the country.
When he defed public sentiment in
his own State, as represented by
the politicians, on the currency
question, he gained credit for
frmness and conscientious
adhesion to principle. For
all this We give him due credit. When
the savage Democracy of Yazoo
turned their guns upon Dixon and
his crowd of Independents, and de-
Veloped their purpose to carry the
election at the muzzle of the shot
gun, it was expected that Mr.. La
mar would again be independent
enough to denounce this shedding
Of blood, this murder for opinions
sake. But up to this good Sunday
morning, although he has been
canvassing his State for
two or three weeks, he has utterly
failed to characterize the brutal
murder Of Dixon as the civilized
world expected he would. In this
he has made great mistake, and
has forfeited whatever character ht
may have gained for manly courage
and independence.

THE SAVAGE AND WILSON
CONCLAVE.

We publish elsewhere the platform
adopted by the reputation Democ-
racy, at their meeting held in Nash
vile last, Thursday. Taken, in
connection with the declarations of
Col. John II, Savage and Senator
Wilson, the leading spirits of the
movement, it shows clearly that the
absolute reputation Of the entire
railroad debs Of the State is what
these arch-demagogues will advo-
cate before the people.
The Convention, if we may
dignity it by calling it such,
was not respectable, either
in point of members or in the char
. acter Of its members. Business
was transacted in a childish, blum
dering way, that reflected, in a
most striking manner, the supreme
ignorance of those who were trying
to manage it. Senator Wilson
showed some tact and skill, and was
really the only man Of ability who
participated. IF he could have had
his way, ways and means would
have been devised to repudiate the
State debt without mourning
the odium of reputation, as
viewed from his standpoint:
but his more reckless and
more ignorant associates had their
minds set upon robbing the credi.
tors Of the State and were wholly
indifferent to the opinions and
tastes Of the outside world, about
the manner Of their robbery. They
are SO STEPPED in infamy, that they
can talk about the steal without a
blush. Senator Wilson is as eager
as any of them, but he has con.
science enough left to make hin
wish to appear as decent as pos
sible, and to show some sort of def
erence to an enlightened public
opinion.
Old Mephistopheles was present
of course, and recognized leader
but his conscience has long since
been scared with the hot iron o
over-weening ambition, and h
cared very little about appearances
In addition to these were ex-parso1

NEW MARKET, OFT. %, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: The Synod Of East
Tennessee net in this place al 7 O'Clock
this evening. The retiring Moderator,
Rev. Mr.. Lyle, Of Dsndridge ,preache d
the opening sermon to an appreeiative
audience, after which Rev. c, B. Lord,
of BIount county, was elected Modera
tor, and Rev. Calvin Duncan, Of Jones'
boro', Clerk pro tenn. The Synod
then adjourned until tomorrow mCrn-
ing.
Friday, Oct. 24.-The chief subjects
ofinterest b=fore the Synod to-day were
the reports made by members Of the
Faculty of Maryville College, and the
report made by the Freedmen's Com
mitteP. The financial report made by
Prof. Lamar showed q healthy state
of the finances of that institution.
The report of DR.. Bartlett contained
many sound and advanced views upon
the subject of education, and was en-
phatic III it's testimony to the fact tina
mixed schools, the co education of the
sexes was not y draw back, but rather
help in the work OF education. DR..
Bartlett states that the faculty Of the
College were aiming at and succeed
ing in elevating the standard of edu.
cation - their purpose being to
make it equal TO the best
schools in our land. The
report was highly satisfactory
and gratifying to the Synod and
friends of The institution.
The report of The Committee on
Freedmen showed an apathy on the
part OF the dominant race in regard tC
their claims and necessities that is tC
be greatly regretted. Some remarks
in the discussion following the report
of the committee brought young col
ored brother upon the h0or, who gave
very clear and decided testimony
| drawn from his own experience as {
! student in different institutions, again,
| the policy OF separate schools for The
colored race. The chief point made
! by him was about this: Tina
| the institutions of learning, from thu
common school TO the College, now
established for the instruction of III,
| children and youth Of our land, ha,
higher standards of education aui
morals than could b8 found in tn
schools established simply for til
colored race, and Consequently tn
admission of colored pupils. az a
MaryvilIe College, to the schools nos
established for cur American youth
will give them better advantages thai
can be found in The "recent inveu
ton" of seperate schools for the CO.
0red race.
Perhaps The most attractive {, atur
connected with the meetings of th
Synod, were the proceedings OF th
Ladies' Missionary Society.
