Postmaster Gen. Key says: ''NoIth-
ern people believe they were successful
10 our late contest. They assert that
this contest was in favor of the Union
and that the national government is the
paramount authority and represents
and embOdIes the elements of national
sovereignty, and that the on ,hority of
the States is subordinate thereto. AS
long as slavery existed there was good
reason why the slave 5 'ates should adj
here to the doctrine of State rights.
They had domestic Institution which
did net belong to all the States, and
which largely had to depend on State
authority and power TO maintain it.
But now that institution is gone, and |
know of no special perogstives or in
situations belonging to US, or requiring
our support, that do not belong to all
the States alike. A great mistake n
the South is the idea some of our peo-
pie have that the Federal government
is the enemy of the State, and conse-
quently their passions and prejudices
are often excited against it. When
you look around you can find no just
reason for this. The enefits conferred
on cur people by the Federal govern
ment are not considered and appreciat-
e as they should be. Lock at our
postal system, and he expenditures fol-
river improvements and public build
ings, etc. All this costs, in our State
at least, more than the revenue raised
IN Tennessee by the Federal govern
ment "

Excavations have Tecen ly brought
TO light at Olympia several fragments
of sculptures which belonged to the
Temple Of Zeus, among them the h. al
OF the Tiver god Cladeus, whose body
hes in the right-hand corner OF the
pediment of the temple. By placing
the head and body together it now pos
sIDle TO understand the relative proper
tons o: each to the other. The type
OF the figure is described as that of the
older statues OF Greek youths "their
strength and suppleness, acquired in
gYmnastic exercises, are depicted W tn
Incorporating realism, and show DO
trace OF the dreamy ana soft idealiza-
lions of nature which later and more
subtle period used to adopt In portray
river gods.p With the head was found
the entire left leg of a bald old man
who occupies a corner of the eastern
pediment and sits there in an attitude
of meditation, while in another place
was dug up the huge legs of an Apollo
and HIS night hand, bat the fingers
from the hands were wanting. An
enormous hand, showing that the soil
still contains somewhere a marble CO.
iossus of rare workmanship, was also
found. The King of Greece has, it Is
said, expressed a wish that suitable
museum might be erected at Olympus
tor the reception of these and other
treasures found there, and two at least
of bis ministers approve the suggestion.
There is feeling that the museum
should be located at Athens, instead OF
Olympia, but great obstacles are in the
way of placing it at Athens, since the
cost of transporting the marbles would
be enormous.
