death or resignation in the Demo
cratic membership during the recess
of Con- sress, and there being no
applications presented tosday for
exchanges, it was resolved that the
majority representation shall re-
main as,fxed at the extra session,
and the chairman was directed to
notify the Republicans that yhe
committee positions occupied by the
late Senator Chandler are at the
disposal of the minority.
A somewhat general discussion
then ensued concerning the 4distri-
button of the Senate patronage.
Several Of the Senators complained
that it had not been equitabiy dis
tributed, and said that when the
officers Of he Senate were spoken
to on the subject, they referred to
the caucus resolutions of last year,
which bound them to retain certain
employees, except in the event of
misconduct, and contended that
with the remainder of the patronage
they had done the best they could.
The question of amending these
resolutions was then broached.
There Was no disposition mani>
tested to interfere with the one by
which. the Senate's officers were re-
quired to retain all disabled Union
soldiers that were on the rolls, but
it was remarked that there are still
employed by the Senatera numbe
of men placed in Office by Republi-
cans who were never in the army in
any capacity, and desire was ex-
pressed by some of the members Of
the caucus to replace them with
Democrats. After some discussion,
a resolution directing inquiry into
the nature Of the instructions given
by the caucus last session, and sew,
eral other resolutions providing spe>
cifcally for the retention of Capt
Bassett and various other old em-
/ ployees,in case any further changes
are made, were referred to the eau
Gus committee on organization
which was created last March, tc
| be reported on hereafter.
i The Republican Senators will
hold caucus this afternoon.
t There is no doubt that Senator
Baldwin, of Michigan, will be as
signed to the places held by hi
predecessor.

tainment will be given by members of
the University. The East Tennessee
Wesleyan University has never been
in so fourishing condition as at the
present. The enrolment of students
is very large, and great many more
are expected.
We see by the papers that Cipcin-
natl, in her invitation to merchants to
visit the city, has limited her guests to
merchants who do not rate less than
10000. She will have precious few
guests from East Tennessee. Twenty
thousand dollar merchants are very
scarce. Cincinnati can not expect East
Tennessee merchants to patroniZe her, i,
after being treated in this manner.
She will get the most of her trade from
East Tennessee and the merchants on
the line of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad. FELIX

Mu<hek Schools,

Mr.. EDITOR: There are q large
number of very fine schools in Knox
county, the banner educational coun-
ty in the State, Of which I have
spoken heretofore, but there are two
which have come under my observa-
tion recently, which deserve especial
mention. II has been said that just
compliment ought never to be with
held and If any one in the world de-
serves cheering word, it is faithful,
consecrated teacher.
The first / wish to mention has
been taught by Miss Lizzie Mary, of
the IL district. She is young lady
of refinement, and has superior pow
ers of government and discipline, with
a natural adaptation to the instruction
Of the young. Her examinati n ex>
! hibi,ed marvellous advancement by
| her pupils. It will be pleasantly re-
mem bered by her friends that she took
high rank in her select reading at the
| Normal School at Concord. She has
| q bright futdre before her ia the edu.
cational field.
The second one [ desire to mention
| is in the % district, taught
by Mr.. G. Champion, assisted by
Miss Ella Luttrell, of Knoxville. Mr..
Champion is gentleman of the purest
n d noblest type, and is making bis
mark in the school room. We never
have, in all East Tennessee, met q
more congeniai young gentleman and
friend Miss Luttrell is q noble young
| lady of pleasing manners and happy
address. She deserves the highest
comm endation and is charm to the
social circle wherever she moves.
They are doing noble work for the
community in which they are labor
ing and have excited very great liter
| ary interest. We wish every neigh
b0rhood had such educators. The
public schools of Knox county arr
becoming the great pride of our peo-
pie. W. R. NJ.
