The SpeakerShip.

Among the probable candidates for Speaker
of the next House, we can think of none who
is likely to command stronger support than
George T.. Weeks Esq, of Augusta. who has
just been chosen for his fourth term in the
popular branch of the Legislature. Mr..
Weeks is one of the staunchest and truest of
Republicans and has worked like hero for
the cause throughout the campaign Just
closed. He has had large legislative expert
ence, and is well fitted for the duties of pre-
siding officer. The fact that Kennebec Conn-
ty has cordially cooperated with this section
in the election of Speakers Nealley and Lord
will naturally incline our people to favor
the candidacy of Mr.. Weeks, aside from the
support which he will command on his own
merits. The name of Stephen j. Young ESQ.,
Of Brunswick. has been mentioned. and he
would bring very brilliant abilities to the
chair, but we think there will be general
desire 10 retain so effective debater upon
the floor and to have the services of Prof
Young on the important finance and other
committees. -Bangor Wing and Courier.
We take pleasure in endorsing the
above flattering recommendation of our
esteemed Augusta representative-elect,
Mr.. Geo. f. Weeks. for the position of
Speaker of the next House. Every word
spoken in his favor in the above is true
and merited. 1t would be very gratifying
to the republicans of Kennebec to witness
and aid in his elevation to the Speaker
ship. not simply because he is strong
pillar in the republican party, but because
he has shown at past sessions that he has
excellent capacity for the performance of
the duties of Speaker. He would be
an efficient, considerable, strong and safe
man in the Chair, and the republicans of
the House would do well TO placfhaf #

Greeneville Letter.
GREENEyILLE. Aug. II

GREENEvILLE, Aug. 16, TO.
Mr.. EDITOR: The Greene county
Normal School, which has been in
session for twenty days past, closed
yesterday evening. Eighty>one
teachers were in attendance the
greater part of the time. This
school, it is thought, will contribute
largely to systematizing the COM
mon schools of this county, some
thing that has been much needed.
Profs. Hanson, Alexander, Park
and Saylor, were the principal in
structors.
We have been having some excel
lent rains and good growing wealth.
er for the past three weeks. Corn
and grass, which were apparently
burnt up with drouth, do not now
appear to have suffered materially;
the former promises to yield an
abundant crop.
No one here has any apprehen.
sion of "Bronze John" ever extend
ing to this place; hence the citizens
have nearly all agreed to take
boarders for the season, and quite
large number can be accommodates
at this place. Greeneville can now
boast Of a new frst-class hotel, thu
Tennessee House," recently ftte'
up and elegantly furnished; the Gu
linary department is superintende'
i. and the table presided over, by
connosseur in the art. The fare is ii
every respect equal to that one get

THE sHoreUN PoLICY.

Our readers are familiar with the
fact that Fl. M. Dixon, who was an
independent candidate for sheriff in
Yazoo county, Mississippi, was be-
sieged by"a Democratic mob a few
weeks ago, and compelled to with
draw from the canvass to save his
life. BUTT appears from TOUR dis.
patches that it was too late, and
that he has paid the penalty for
daring to. run for Office against the
regular Democratic nominee, with his
life. ? He was shot and killed by
James 81. Barksdale, candidate
) for Chaneery Clerk. { The shotsgur
policy has worked like a charm il
Mississippi and by its magic power
the Democratic party controls at
fairs in that State now. We com
mend the policy to Gen. Ewing 'and
his friends in Ohio. There is NJ
chance for him to succeed in The
ordinary way, but if he could onnl!

accepted, by the creditors of Tennes-
see. No one ia likely to forget, more-
over, the advocacy of reputation by
those Tennessee statesmen, Andrew
johnson and Emerson Etheridge, and
the famous economic principle laid
down by the former to the effect that
q debt was to be considered discharged
when the interest paid should amount
to the principal. The case of Tennes-
see, indeed, seems to be particularly
scandalous; her people can not accuse
q carpet.bag government of saddling
them with an unjust Indebtedness :
they have no excuse, save poverty, for
their action, and yet their demoraiiza.

that of any of their nefghbors. Mean

In conversation with one Of our
Aldermen yesterday, we learned thai
at least a portion Of the Board are
in favor of levying special tax Of
twenty-five cents on each hundred
dollars, to be set aside for the pur-
pose of reducing the floating debt of
the city. This is movement in the
right direction. Il would raise about
S., 900 per annum, to be applied in
that way. 1t would take several
years to pay it off with as dow "a
tax as that, but it is a great deal
better than nothing. We trust this
or something better will be done.
There are croakers who would COM
plain about high taxes, but We be-
lieve a majority Of the taxpayers
of the city will endorse. such action
on the partof the Board. ( zA-e@

The inevitable outcome of the policy
which has made possible the last. two

be to postpone the consideration of the
