WHO STOLE THE SCHOOL
FUND?

The Chattanooga Times rehashes In
It's issue of yesterday the stale D'srep-
resentation about a portion Ct the
Tennessee school fund having been
stolen by the "Brownlow crowd"
The editor of the Times ought 10
know. if he does not, that the entire
school fund was Invested in confeder-
ate bonds, by order OF the democratic
Legislature. Not dollar of it ever
came into the hands of Governor
Brownlow, or anv official under his
administration Knoxville Chronicle.
"ID charity we assume that the edi-
tor of the CHRONICLE did not write
the above. There was noue of the
school money of this state cJnverted
into confederate bonds. S hundred
thousand dollars, in gold. of the school
money carried away by Gov. Harris 10
1861, was returned by HIM. It lay in
this city for time aud was then sent
to Nashville and was turned over to
B'Ownlow's treasurer by the federal
authorities. BrOwnlOw's comptroller
put 1t in Rutter's bank of Memphis.
where all but few dollars was lost to
the stare. The comptroller, old MuI.
Inns, and parcel of others of that
gang of hungry thieves, were the onlv
ones who prof ed by the steal.
40 addition to this the Brownlow
gang used the school funds to pay
their organized ruffians called militia
until they ruined every school inter
est in the state.
But the successors OF the Brown.
low gang are the only pure and spot
less coDservators of state honor! o.
course they are! Don't they say &c
continually ?"
The above is from the Chattano.
ga Times of Sunday morning. W.
have given the true history Of TIT
original school fund of Tennessee st
often that it is hardly necessary tt
repeat it to our readers, but al
ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS men con
tinue to charge that it was stoler
by republican officials under Gov
Brownlow's administration, it ap,
pears necessary that we should
again state the facts. We repeat
as we stated in our issue of FRIDAY
morning, that not dollar of tn

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN {?

A number of state credit demo-
cratic papers in the state are app
pealing to democrats to unite on
Gen. Wright for governor, in order
to defeat Judge Hawkins, who, they
say, is in favor of paying all that
the bondholders may demand. We
do not quite understand this. If it
is an attempt to mislead the people
and misrepresent Judge Hawkins,
by making it appear that he is
anxious to pay the whole debt, then
it is unworthy of those who do it.
The platform upon which he was
nominted pledges the republican
party to the settlement Of the
debt upon TERMS satisfactory to the
creditors of the state. Judge Haw-
kins announces himself in favor Of
this policy, and says if the creai-
tors propose to take sixty, fifty or
forty per cent. of the Indebtedness,
he is in favor Of accepting such a
compromise and carrying out the
new contract honestly and prompt
~. Does Gen. Wright or his sup
rorters go farther than this ? Are
they unwilling to compromise upon
such concessions as this, or do they
propose to fix a figur, above which
they will not go regardless of
whether the creditors Of The state
are satisfied or not? J
If this is true, then they ought to
inform the people just how high they
are willing to 60. If they will not
agree to pay sixty cents on the doll
lar, what will they agree to- Il
they propose to force the creditors te
take certain figure, and will agree
to no more, what is the figure
Some explanation appears to be
necessary, and we respectfully cal
upon the Columbia Herald and
Memphis Appeal to furnish it.

The Chattanooga Times says its
publisher was present at Pikeville
when Columbus. Marchhanks made
the speech which it is alleged he
made, and what ..purported to be a
copy of which was published in the
Cincinnati Commercial and repub-

the evidence Of its publisher, the
Times denies that any such a speech

school fund ever came into the
hands of Gov. Brownlow or any
official under his administration.
Every dollar of it had been invested
in confederate bonds, by virtue of
law passed by confederate, demo-
cratic legislature.
The original school fund was
based upon certificate of deposit
in the bank of Tennessee, amount
ing to S1,5O0,000. This was aug
mented, in various ways, until it
amounted to $2,679, O18. 33, and the
whole of it was carried away BY the
democratic confederate government
and state officers, when Gen. Grant
came unlimited into Nashville in
1862. The assets Of the bank Of
Tennessee on the first of January
Of that year, in which the school
fund was deposited, were, according
to the official report of that date,
$11, 632,037.23, including $780,
380.94 in coin. When the assets
were brought back, more than
S8,000,000 were missing, and among
the assets returned were 1885,.
806.29 in confederate notes and
bonds, little more than the school
fund. Of the assets returned, there
was $446,719.7O in coin, NOT
$500, 1000, as the Times says, and
the confederate state officers having
squandered the entire sacred school
fund, Gov. Brownlow determined
in justice to the children of TIT
state, to make this coin the nucleus
of future fund, and it was invested
in United States 7-30 bonds.
Without the knowledge of Gov
Brownlow, the treasurer of the state
not the comptroller, as the Times
states, deposited these bonds in Rut
ter's bank at Memphis. The treas
urer was DR.. Stamford, a johnson
democrat: Gold commanded
premium then, and the amount o
7-3O bonds received was $618, $50
No one has ever defended the actor
of DR.. Stamford in placing those
bonds in Rutter's bank, but it wa
not, as the Times states, Gall los
but few dollars to the state" TO
more than 100000 was afterward
recovered, and the "steal," afte
all, turned out to be very insig
nifcant affair when compared witt
the ten millions of the assets of tn
bank of Tennessee, including tn
whole school fund, squandered b,
the democratic state government.
We might go on and give receipts
signed by prominent democrats, an(
other statistics, going to show how
this ten millions went, but it is I'M
necessary, as our readers are famil
lar with the facts. Any statement
that the republicans are responsible
for the loss of dollar of the origi
nal school fund Of Tennessee
amounting to more than two mil
lions, is at variance with the we
recognized facts of history and vii
be made by no well informed demo
crat who cherishes a regard for hi
character for truth and veracity.

about the size of peas. The result-whilc

WHAT AN ODD FEBRUARY THIS Is TO
BE.-The present February will be an odd
month in several respects. 1t will have in
the first place an odd number of days, ow>
ing to its leap year distinction. 1t will
have an odd number of Sundays-fve--
which is very odd for tho shortest
month of the year--and one of the Sun
days will be Washington's birthday. 1t
will begin on Sunday and end on Sunday,
which is also odd. The FIVE Sundays cor
| respond in date with the five Sundays in the
following August, which is odd again. 1t
is said that no one now living will ever see
another February so odd; nor will their
children, nor their children's children

terestiug. Many old supersttions ara asso-
ciated with the month, which originally had
twenty-nine days among the Romans in an
ordinary year. When the Roman Senate,
however, decreed that the eighth month
should be named after the Emperor Angus
tus, one day was taken from February and
bestowed on August, giving it thirty .one
days, in order that it might not be inferior
to July, called after Julius Caesar. Febru-
airy was then the month of publication,
from februum, during which the Lupercalia
or Februalia, were celebrated, the festival
beginning the 18th and celebrated annual
ly. Lupcrculuss, or Februus, was the god
Of fertility, whose appropriate sacrifices
were dogs and goats. After the Offering,
two youths, patriciaus, were conducted to
the altar, when one of the priests touched
their foreheads with sword dipped
in the blood of the victims, and another
priest washed off the stain with wool soaked
in milk. Then the priests sat down to a
feast, at which wine was bountifully fur.
nished. After rising from the board they
cut the skins of the sacrificed goats in
pieces, and covered with some of these parts
of their bodies, in imitation of tho deity,
represented rs half clad in goat skins.-
With the other pieces converted into
thongs, they ran through the streets, strik-
ing everybody they met, particularly wo-
men, who courted the blow, from the belief
that it averted sterility and the pains of
travail. The ceremonies Of the festival
were supposed to symbolic the publication
of the people. If it had any such power
the revival of the Lupcrcalia would be ad
visable here, where political sins are gricv-
Gus and innumerablc. To purify New York
materially and morally, the Lupcrcalia
would need to be extended throughout the
year.-N Y Paper.

a SUCCESSFUL MAN ON MORALS
Boys, listen to me. am not sixty years
old and have made $4,000 by my own
excrtions, | have fair English education
and am tolcrably well informed but had l
only known what was capable of doing at
fourteen years Of age, this day could have
twice the education, been better informed,
with a higher standard of morals-a better
and wiser man in every respect, with double
the property. The trouble was, lost half
of my valuable time between fourteen and
thirty, because l thought there was nothing
in me and it was not worth while to try.
am persuaded that the same feeling
keeps many a man at the bottom round of
the ladder all his life whereas, if he would
take hold with steady, firm hand, and go
slow, but sure, the result would astonish
him In thirty years. Try it, boys use rigid
economy of time and means; acquire all
the useful knowledge you can keep your
morals as pure as possible; be strictly tenn
perate; have faith in God always tell the
truth. Your reward will be certain, both
in time and eternity. Remember that one
ounce of perseverance, seasoned with truth,
is worth pound Of brains without truth
The average man places too high an estimate
on brains and money.
Boys, what have said is our Arminian
doctrine, and is full of truth. Now, let us
hear the Calvinist's side. The sins of the
parents are visited upon the children to the
third and fourth generation. Ifyour mother
was 4 wise woman, full of virtue and truth;
your father model Of frmness, temperance
and truth and your grandparents on both
sides of noble s.ock-thcre is no telling
what you may accomplish. But if your
mother was a weak woman, lacking in vir-
tue your father debauch and vagabond;
your grandparents base people-thc chances
arc against you. Blood will tell But the
rcdccming point is this: Almost any of
us have enough good blood in our veins, if
properly trained, to bring US to the front so
We can make our mark and there are but
few of us who have not enough bad blood
in our make up to sink us into the depths
of infamy, if INDUCED in. So, at last, we
have our destiny greatly in our own hands.
