A GOOD ILLUSTRATION

Business men are frequently heard to
say, 'It is of no Use for me To advertise
this or that, every body knows about 1t
aiready-it has been advertised all over
the country" Now we think we can
convince any sensible business man that
he is wrong. Newspapers never publish
anonymous communications. YOU say,
''Of course, l know that; every body
knows that" Well, it does seem as
though everybody ought to know that
It has been published in every newspaper
that ever was printed; it is re published,
and published again, time after time, all
over the world, and in every Imaginable
kind of publication, from the metropal

yet intelligent, well informed people con
tinue 20 send communications to the
newspapers without sending their names
along Now, if a fact that has been al
veriised SO universally, and for so many
years, as the rule in regard to anony-
nous Communications, is still unknown
to people among the reading and think
ing classes, why should you conclude
that everybody knows" of a matter

AN IMeoRrANr DECISION,

In our Washington dispatches will b,
found the outline u DECISION recent,
made by the United States Suprems
Court, which is considered by AIr. jus
tice bradley As calculated to .introduce
evils OF great magnitude that will uiti
mately lead to the recognition Ut the wal
deots of the seeding States" This AN.
noancement might be looked upon d,
sensational coming from any one but u
Judge OF That high court whose calm and
dispassionate treatment Of even political
Questions has been, in times past, the
admiration of the world.
The case is a simple one. The Bank
of Tennessee, organized more than twen.
,ty years before the civil war, issued notes
which the State agreed, by a clause III
the banks charter, " receive for taxes.
The notes issued during the supremacy
of the Confederacy, however, were de
elared void by the Constitution adopted
at the reconstruction Of the State, and a
them was made the defendant in this
suit, the plaintiff claiming that this
Constitutional Amendment was Itself
void. The Supreme Court finds nothing
in the record TO show that these notes
were issued in aid of the rebellion, aud
nothing from which a presumption to
this effect can be properly drawn, and
decides: first, that the Constitutional
Amendment declaring these notes void,
is OF no effect, because it impairs tho OBJ
legations of contracts; second, that the
State of Tennessee has always, stree its
first admission into the Union, been the
State of Tennessee. Its secession did
not, according to the opinion of the ma
jority, interfere with Its perpetual sue
cession and perpetual identity. No, on
ly Is it the same body polite now, but
it has always been the same it has not
only been all this time State, and the
same State, but it has always been one
of the United States, State of the
Union. 4" Referring especially to the
share of the State in the rebellion, the
majority say, at never escaped the ohli-
cations of that Constitution, though for
awhile it may have ended their enforce
ment."
Against the views of the majority, the
Chief Justice. Mr.. Waite, Justice Brad
ley, and Justice Harlan enter emphatic
protests, urging that the banks of the re
bellioas districts were unque-tionably
used in fnrtherance of the instruction,
aud denying that the acts of Il rebelious
State are binding on reconstructed
State. The small representation of Dem
ocrats on tie bench fDrbids the suspicion
Of political bias in this decision, il any
should be disposed to harbor it. Bnt the
warning which ba. been uttered by one
of the minority of the Court will arouse
no little foreboding. and will increase
the dread of the people of the North at
the possibili v that political party
which might take undue advantage of
such decision may obtain possession of
The National Government.-N Y Tib-

The New York Times, in considering
the question OF illiterate voting, does not
see any consistent or practical meth
cd OF putting an educational test for suit
rage into the Constitution, but sees in
compulsory education remedy: Com
pulsory education, systematically and
vigorously enforced, would, in the course
of generation almost wholly eliminate
this particular source of evil. The eIe
ment of iliteracy in adult immigrants,
which would still remain, would probab
ly be diminishing quantity, and might
not be beyond the reach of restrictive
provisions in the naturalization laws. 1t
is an especial merit of this remedy that
il is fully in keeping with the highest
principles and the most hopeful aims of
our free institutions. To restrict the
power of the people, and make distinc
tious and inequalities before the law,
would be step backward which in the
DRY it is undesirable to take, and in prac
tice could only be justified by stern ne
cessity. 1t would involve qualified
Acknowledgement of failure in our pplit-
zeal theories Illiterate voting is an
evil and danger. The voting can not
be restricted, and wisdom dictates a re-
striction of the illiteracy.

LOCAL MATTERS
BOARD OF TRADE.

EDITOR REGISTER: In your last pa
per you called upon me, among others
for an expression Of opinion in regard Il
the formation OF Board of Trade
IL seems to me that there can hardly
be two opinions rs To the desireablenesS
of such an organization.
In 1874 we had club of the same
character which did great deal OF
good in advertising the business of our
city and in directing some of the public
works that were then As well as now
badly needed. If lola or any other city
ever expects to attain that degree OF
pernanence and prosperity which is in
dispensable to attract men of means and
ability the foundation must be laid by
an earnest aud prolonged effort on the
part of her business men. The business
men of community are the active, in
lelligent, influential married men They
can give a city the appearance of life
and prosperity, or they can let it become
dull and decayed.
United effort is success, individual eff
fort is often failure. If any man thinks
that it is his money and brains that
gives him success iie would need to really
try it but a very short time alone to take
the conceit out of him. As business
men are to great extent dependent ON
each other they should to some extent
mutually bear the public burdens.
One man ma spend large amount of
money in advertising his business. lie
at the same time adverti-es his town. and
I'll, No. l,ar
it, and his neighbor who does not adyer-
tise at all reaps some of the benefits.
Business men should have more Of a
controlling influence in local affairs than
they do. The complaint is often made
that business is almost taxed out of ex-
istence. Whose fault is it but their own?
IF business men took the interest in
public affairs that they should, many of
the evils complained of might be RENE
died, if they only acted together.
Among the things that will need the
united assistance Of the business men of
lola in the near future are: Coopera-
ton that will secure freight rates tina;
will give Us an even chance with other
towns. Some adjustment of odr county
bonded Indebtedness. Same of lola
township bridge bonds. Securing more
effective work on streets of lola and of
the roads leading east and west. An eff
fort should be made to lessen local taxes.
This cannot be done by the efforts of
one man. Railroad interests are to be
looked after, bridges are to he built,
encouraged and in fact
our needs are almost innumerable, while
our means of supplying them are lamen-
tab!y small.
1t would not need regular meetings
but the organization could meet on the
call of the chairman when necessary.
Respectfully, w. A. CowAN.

compiled from complete commercial re.
ports of November, which shows the

dullest months of the year. The balance
of trade in our favor for five months of
the current fiscal year, commencing July

100 per cent. over the balance in our
favor for the corresponding months of
last year. The balance in our favor for
the twelve months ending Nov. so, 1873,
is S909, 309.74I. while that for the twelve
months ending Nov. 80, 1877, was only
$40, 723,629 This shows the growth OF
our commerce in a ngie year. and re.

of the United States will be nearly $3.50.
