taxes and BE- entitled to exercise the
elective franchise, but 30 far ~ We have
seen no attention has been paid TO them,
and the old Law which has worked 30
we'll in DISTINGUISHING Republicans in
the past Is to be continued in tho fu-
ture. Those who have hsd their names
returned - errors, will now be left Of
the assessment list until the meeting
OF the Levy Court next March, and even
then the names cannot be put on unless
tho person Wishing to be assessed goes
to the expense Of going to New Cas- le,
and the additional expense Of taking .
frsshold voucher along with him. Tho
Assessor who may 90 around next win
ter, cannot assess those whose names
have been dropped at the present SEES
sion Of the Levy Court, because the
year for which they we're to have been
l IT of the books will not have ex-
pirsd until the month Of March next.
From this it will be seen that thoss who
want to cast vote at the PRESIDENT al
election In 1880, whose names have
been dropped at the present session of
the Levy Court, have no chance to get
their names on the assessment again
without appearing in person before the
Levy Court with freehold voucher in
March 1850. 1t Is true that the Assessor
will 90 his rounds next winter to assess
only those who had been disfranehissd
over q year; or in other words those
who hal been dropped by the Levy
Court Of 1878. Each Assessor will be
supplied with book 10 which the
names dropped by the Levy Court of
1879 are gistarsl, and this book is
the guide ftr the Assessors, that they
shall not assess them. Every thing Is
reduced down to small points, and
every Assessor is strictly charged in
regard to his duty. 1t is very import
ant to the Democrats that every possible
barrier shall be put in the way of Re-
publicans getting assessed, so that they
can preserve their ascendancy in the
State far more important than to get
taxes for the State. This assessment
law is what many of our citizsns petit
toned to have repealed, but the pres
ont solid Delnecratic Legi lature turned
a deaf ear to their appeal. This politi.
cal guilotine is to be kept in motion at
least two years longer, no matter if the
State does lose $4,000 by it and
through apathy and disfranchi isement
the vote be reduced to 1000. In 1878
the vote was little over $4,000 in tho
State, just about a half a vote and
another turn Of the Democratic politi.

These are facts, and the sooner the peo-
pie of the State awake to see them the
better, unless they desire to be kept
in the condition of serfs and vassals un-
der Democratic aristocracy.

EduC2fIGERRi,

MESSRS EDIToES in the mat
ter of education, two points demand
the most earnest consideration.
First, we should select the school or
college furnishing that combination
of talents and culture in teachers,
and those appliances for scientific
instruction, in its outfit (other
things agreeing), most worthy OF
our well-informed judgment. For,
however much the tinsel of mere
architectural design in buildings,
and the fascination of gigantic en-
dowment may crafty vanity, these
add nothing to the solid value to be
attached to an institution.
In educating our boys, we are, so
to 81 eak, erecting an edifce, our
selves then let us, as wise build
ers, choose our ground, where we
can lay our foundation broad and
deep.
The second point to consider is of
even greater Importance than what
has been mentioned. / mean that
we should more seriously weigh
the character of the teachers who
are to mould our boys, than their
great learning.
A boy is an extremely close watch
err of his teacher Possibly this aris-
es from the habit of imitation which

WE do not see any necessity for
further notice of the correspondent
of the Tobacco Leaf who continues
to assail u.s., The last paragraph of
his communication of the 22d shows
clearly that on the main topic of the
controversy he has got the worst of
it, or he would not feel the necessity
uf going outside of that subject and
firing off spiteful squibs at our
pamphlet on the silver question and
our action in the School Board, of
which latter topic he shows clearly
that he knows absolutely nothing.
On account, however, of a third
party whom we recognize as a
friend, Mr.. Rufus n. Rhodes, we
must say a few words about him.
The correspondent assumes the posi-
ton Of a champion OF Mr.. r. and
tries to make us out as his assailant,
which is the reverse of our true
position. Mr.. r. did, as the CORES
pendent says, do his duty in lobby
ing for additional taxing power for
the City Board, but only because he
considered himself instructed by the
Board to do so. 1t is true that his
instructions came from only one
member of the Board, and he would
have acted more prudently if he
had waited for the instructions of
the Board in regular session, as that
would have secured him from being
left to his own responsibilities as a
scape goat to shoulder those of the
member who sent him. But that is
a want OF caution eXcusable in SO
young man. Had he gone on his
lobbying GRAND on his own motion
or as employed by any one else, he
would have been highly culpable
for appearing in a matter where the
city was interested without the
Boards instructions. But this he
did not do, and we have only to
add our renewed commentator of
him as a capable and active servant
of the city.

OUR EDITORS TRIP.

Feeling the necessity of change
of scene, we planned a two days
trip, and, by way of combining bus
mess with pleasure, timed our pere-
CARNATIONS so as to take a flying
glance at things political. We
planned our journey 50 as to be
present at Senator Beck's speech at
Bowling Green, KY, and that of
Col. Bailey at Gallatin, Tenn. Our
journey did not commence auspi-
ciously, for the train started three
hours late from GAINESVILLE and ar
rived four hours late in Bowling
Green. This was in consequence of
quarantineand transit arrangements
in Memphis. The train was loaded
with refugees from Memphis, appa-
rently belonging to the poorer
classes (not the poorest), and a dazed
and bewildered crowd they seemed.
Poor people! a perpleXed and anX-
ious expression was on all their
cOuntenances, which conveyed the
idea that they knew not where to
go or what to do next. We arrived
in Bowling Green just in time to
hear Senator Beck-and to lose our
dinner. The Senator, in fact, had
commenced speaking when we en-
tered the Court House. He was
handling John Davenport and his
employees without gloves when we
entered, soon passed from that to
the silver dollar and thence to the
five vetoes. We were here much
interested as he approached these
topics from a point of view which
we have adopted occasionally our

recognizes this as part of "the boyn

Then, let feathers have in them
meanness, or littleness, or coward

when the right pinches and doesn't
pay in a word, let a boy see lack
of purity or nobleness of life, lack
of contempt for the false and cor
rupt, for little, dirty things, and he
either loses confidence and respect
towards his teachers, or he con-
cludes that his father and mother,
in directing him to true formation
of high character, have been fear
fully wanting in discretion, since
they have put him under men, as
his guides, who possess qualities OPP
posed to those held up for imitation.
and so their confidence in their par
ents' good judgment weakens, or,
what is worse than all, they jump
to the very possible conclusion that
imitation of their teachers errors
ought not to be too severely re

split the Plantations.


The Southern States will never
grow great and strong till the plan
tation system is exchanged for the
Northern system of small farms.
The prosperous hill parished of Lou
isiana, farmed by white men, show
the advantages of little farms well
titled over huge and half-cultivated
plantations. Perhaps the examples
offered by the State of Maryland
are even more likely to arrest the
attention of intelligent Southern
ers. There are counties in Mary
land which after the war were bur-
dened with debt and an industrial
system which is only PARALLEL in
some of the Gulf States. In pro-
cess Of time circumstances compell-
ed the division of the farms, and
the result has been wonderful in
crease of wealth, a general liquida-
ton of debt, and gratifying social
improvement.

Col. House was then called for
and responded as follows. He was
in favor of the compromise +; its ac-
ceptance by the bondholder made
it honorable for the State and divid-
ed the burden. A debt of $24, O00, 900
would be but sl2,O0O,O00, and the
rate of interest would not be 6, but
4 per cent. 1t would be the same
to the people of Tennessee as a debt
of one-third the original amount
with no change of interest. He al
luded to the effect rejection would
have upon the fair name of Tonnes
see and appealed to the State honor
and State pride of her citizens to
see that her faith, credit, and honor
were sustained.
Then there was dinner, and then
Capt. Reynolds, in his happiest
way, pleased and edited the people
by giving the inception and safe de-
livery of the bill to the people, not
forgetting to give the calls for the
'ayes and noes" which thoroughly
| fumigated our minds with legisIa-
tive proceedings. He said he blushed
and voted for the bill as the widow
blushed in relating to the court the
dying declaration of her husband
kiss me Polly, and open another
bottle of champagne" The bill
was the best offered he was obliged
to take it upon the principle that
half loaf was better than no bread.
He was a State credit man, and he
proved he acted as became one.
After much good argument the cap
tain cast his eyes toward the femi-
nine portion of the house and your
reporter wiped his eyeglasses for a
good sight, as he knew the captain
would strike straight home if he
went off with the ladies as a subject.
And he did. Under his magical in
fluence the ladies smiled and smiled
until
''The very napes oftheir white necks
Were rosed with sweetest pleasure"
No one would accuse the captain OF
possessing that subtle magnetism
which without words can lay bare
"AIl thoughts, all pleasures, all delights,
r Whatever stirs this mortal frame"
but give him words and allow him
to look at them as on to-day with
eyes
: GAS of the sky and sea ON gray day."
and he has an influence for which
your reporter signs, but sighs in
vain.
, When he was through with his
laughable anecdotes everybody was
shaking with goodhumor, and they
told the captain he should be re.
turned to his post of honor. But
; with Roman abnegation he said
"That makes no difference so you
