The Decision.

Three translations were handed in
this week properly endorsed by the fol-
lowing named students:
No. by Jesse Edwards.
e" 2 by Louis R. Clement.
Z" by E, B. Etter.
These were submitted to the commit
tee on Thursday morning who reported
that No. / contained three errors; No.
2 contained too errors; No. 3 contain
ed one error. The decision was there
fore rendered in favor of No. 8.
No. was signed "BOb Clinker" and
was pronounced correct translation,
but having no endorsement accompany
ing it, the committee decided that it
could not be considered in the compe-
tition, which required the real name of
the student and an endorsement of the
work as his.
The translations are all very credit
able to students and we are glad, even
pleasantly disappointed, to find so
much zeal manifested among the young
men. 1t is sign of better things than
we have had since the war, among our
young men.
Let it be remembered that all trans
lations must reach us by 6 o'clock pm.
on Wednesday in order to be placed
before the committee.
We give below the prize translation
as it was written and presented to us.
No answers to the mathematical ques-
lions have been received.
We submit to the students of the
country under the same regulations as
heretofore, a short sketch of Washing
ton the Great. On this we opens@Eo
separate lists of competition.
No. / for all students who may de-
sire d compete.
No. 2 for all the Alumn@ of the Fe-
male College in McMinnville.
The translations of class No. to be
literal and elegant. Those of class No.
2 to be as elegant and rhetorical as pos
sible and yet retain the literal sense.
The competition closes at 6 o'clock
on Wednesday, 9th of May.
TRANSLATION NO. 8.
Thomas Jefferson, born from Italian
parentage, began to breathe the celes-
tial air in the fertile land of Virginia,
on the second day of April A. d. 1743.
Under the tutelage Of faithful faith
er and mother, the boy, docile from his
earliest infancy, manifested a surpass'
ing aptitude for learning.
Clltivating his mind in literature
and the liberal arts, which it behooves
you to do, and devoting the greatest
labor to the study of Jurisprudence,
this young man, sprightly among the
Virginians in the college of William
and Mary, was admitted to an academ
ic degree.

The NASHVILLE Daily Herald suggests,
A. G. Thurman and Isham. G. Har-
ris as a Democratic ticket for President
and vice President. This would be an
unusual combination of brains and true
statesmanship-too much of a good
thing perhaps for the present age

Tennessee could certainly support these
two distinguished statesmen With the
greatest pleasure for the positions nam
ed. In point of ability and statesman
ship the ticket cannot be excelled in
these days.

TWenty-one Centuries Buried.

After twenty-One centuries the re-
mains of the 800 young Thebans, form
erly the Sacred Battalion" who fell at
the terrible battle of Cheronea, have now
been dug up. During the summer exca-
vations have been made around the gi-
gantic memorial lion which was placed
in the center of the field TO ccmmemO-
rate the deeds of heroism of that dark
day. A wall 25 yards in length and Is
yards in breadth was first found be-
meath the soil. Within this enclosure
at depth of four yards lay the bones of
one hundred and eighty-fve Thebans,
resting side by side, ranged in rows of
forty, each in the attitude in which he
he had died. Seven such rows have
been found. They are so placed that
the heads of those of the second rank re-
pose at the feet of the first. All bear
the marks Of the blows that caused their
death. One of them has both thighs
pierced by thrust of the spear; another
has the jawbone broken and splintered /;
third has the skull terribly hacked; d
fourth, whose head is wonderfully well
preserved, has the mouth still wide
open, as if he breathed. This last will
be conveyed to the Museum of Atiqui-
ties at Athens. What is especially no
ticeably about it is that the jaws pos
sess every tooth in perfect order. No
weapons have been found.

The rapid advance of Government
bonds in New York yesterday expresses
the conviction of men of business that
the country is safe; that its credit will
be preserved inviolate; that the fools of
finance and the representatives of vari-
GUS schemes and degrees of reputation
will not be called upon to administer
the affairs of the Nation. The standard
of public credit and financial honor will
not be retired, but advanced. The gen.
eral stock market sympathized with the
Governments sign, not of specula-
tive fever, but of general confidence in
the maintenance Of our prosperity. The
glorious career of our country will not
be checked by change 1t is decreed
that we shall let we'll enough alone
that being well, we are not to try the
strong medicine of submitting the coun-
try to the politicians who originated
with the system of slavery and were
educated in rebellion. Their services
are not to be required for the general
guidance. They can go along with US
peaceably, and enjoy equal rights with
ourselves, but it is not to be understood
that the price of peace is submission to
them as ruling class.
Money will be more abundant than
ever. The millions of boarded gold, into
which timid persons have converted
bonds since the Maine election, will be
thrown into circulation. Capital that
was waiting will be invested. Enter
prise will be quickened and the business
community 60 forward with quiet
nerves and steady pulse.-LCincinnati

THE WORLD AGAIN.

From The New York World, May S.lS72.
In the midst Of the organized carnival of
corruption which has been going on for so
many weary months and years at Washing
ton, it is really satisfactory to catch glimpses
now and then of honesty for honestys sake,
and without consideration of party. General
Garfield, of Ohio, is a Republican of Repub-
licans. but it is his simple due which we
gladly pay him, to admit that he has done
more than any other single member of his
party during the last session of Congress to
show that it is not impossible for man to
act with Congressional majority, and yet to
keep his self-respcct and the respect of hon
est men.

THE EDITOR OF THE LOUISVILLE CoUR-

Henry Wattersen's letter To the New York
Democratic meeting. July Is, 1880.
''The truth is, Gen. Garfield, though a
kindly man, and q man as | am persuaded,
who would not do a dishonest thing for his
own sake OF its own sake, is a partisan OF a
piece with his party"
SENATOR THURMAN AND THE WORLD.
From the New York World, October 10, 1873.
Senator Thurman lets up Gen. Garfield, of
Ohio, in this amiable fashion:
'.Oakes Ames swears that Garfield got ten
shares, aud Garfield says that he did not do
anything of the kind. There was good deal
of talk, but no proof against him, and am
compelled to say that Garfield gets out OF II
better than anybody else, and on the whole,
there was not sufficient evidence 10 fasten
the corruption at his door"
After considering all the testimony, on the
whole we concur in this view of Mr.. Garfleld's
connection with the Credit Mobilier.
