ID A murder of shocking atrocity
was committed near Elkton, KY.
on last Friday. Mrs. Salmon, &
young married lady, was the vie.
tim. 1t appears that her husband
was to be absent for the day, and
not liking to leave his wife alone
advised her to visit her. fathers,
which was less than a mile distant
She started for that purpose soon in
the morning, and was met by ne
gro named Johnson, who was at
work. on the farm. He encountered
her in piece of woods, committed
a shameful outrage on her person,
then struck her heavy blow on
the head witha limb, which stunned
her for time; she revived, how
ever, and crawled towards home,
when the negro, fearing his savage
work might not be complete. re-
turned and finished it by cutting
her throat. He was taken in custo-
dy by Sheriff Armstrong, but was
overtaken on his way to Jail by the
outraged neighbors, and treated
with summary vengeance, being
hung to the nearest tree and his
body riddled with bullets.

Lynch, but we shake hands with
him this time. SIS .s.

WILSON COUNTY REpUDIArORS.

We had just concluded our lead
ing editorial when we received the
Nashville American, with an ac-
count ofthe turbulent dOings of the
repudiators in Wilson county first
declaring themselves the demo-
cratic party and holding a conven-
ton at Lebanon from which state
credit men were excluded, then
breaking up mass meeting of dem
Ocrats of all classes at the same
place and themselves taking pos
session of the room by brute force,
and passing their resolutions, etc.,
as if they and they only were dem
ocrats. They are really not demo-
Gratis at all, whatever be their num-
bers. Democracy is principle, its
tenets are recorded, and no tumult-
uOus mob like that of Wilson county
can constitute itself portion of the
party by a violent abrogation of its
principles.
We only allude to so contemplate
transaction to point out that this
experiment if repeated on larger
scale at Nashville next August will,
if successful, establish exactly the
state of things deprecated in our
leading editorial. 1t is time to look
such possibilities in the face; they
cannot be ignored.

That school Question

It is gratifying to us that our
proposition in reference to the
higher grades in the public schools
has elected discussion, and we de-
vote portion of our paper to-day
to a communication which has APP
peared in the Tobacco Leaf on the
subject, over the signature of II. E.
B. This writer expresses his differ
ence with us in temperate and
courteous terms, and is even COM
plimentary to the. board. While
maintaining our opinion unaltered,
we will meet him in the same spirit.
H. E. BIS objection to the aboli-
tion of the ninth and tenth grades
is based on the idea that an educa-
ton which extends only to the
eighth grade would not be g. prepa-
ration for entering the freshman
class. at the University, and that
therefore scholars from the public
schools will have to go a year or
two to private schools before they
are fit to go to college under the
proposed new system. He is correct
so far as the freshman class is con-
cerned; a member of the eighth
grade in the public schools is not
ordinarily ready for that class; but
this is no reason why he would be
obliged to go to private schools for
preparation. There are elementary
classes in the University into which
our eighth-grade boys would be at
once received, and be better pre-
pared for the university course than
they could be in either public or
private schools. We say SO on the
simple ground that their course
under such an arrangement would
be a continuous one, and therefore
not subject to the changes in meth
cd, which always cause much delay.
To make this clear we give the
schedule of studies for the eighth
grade in the public schools and that
for the elementary classes in the
University.
Studies of eighth grade in public |
schools-History of England, alge- |
bra to surds, book keeping FIRST |
half-session); natural philosophy |
Second half-session), geometry,
part l., defamation, composition.
Studies of elementary classes in
the University-Higher arithmetic,
elementary algebra and geometry,
of Latin and Greek (also
of French and German if required), |
junior history (Rawlinson's Univer-
saD, literature, bookkeeping.
From this it is quite evident that
a scholar can pass direct from the
eighth grade Of the public schools to
the elementary classes in the Uni
versity without intermediate prepa-
ration. E.s'"t
But III. E. B. thinks it would be
better for them to stay at the public
schools till they are ready for the
freshman class at the University.
1t is difficult to imagine why. The
course of education laid down for
the public schools is intended to
suit the average of scholars who go
there, and these, on an average,
cave school at fifteen years old. A
course which is intended as a COM
1Iete education for such boys up to
certain stage is identical with the

ment to Lord Granville, the new
minister for foreign affairs.
AS a result Of all this c0nsidera-
ton, he wrote the following explain
atory dispatch TO Sir III. G. Eliot,
British ambassador at Vienna,at0

minister for foreign affairs. 1t will
be seen to contain a very large slice
of crow for q prime minister to eat
immediately after his triumphant
accession to office:
When / accepted the task of
forming an administration, / re-
solved. as minister, not to repeat or
even defend the political language
regarding more than one foreign
power / used, when i'm position
of greater freedom. / regret that
i should even have seemed TO im-
pute to the emperor of Austria
language which he did not use. /
have no hostile disposition toward
any country. / have always heart
lily wished well to Austria. In the
performance of the arduUus task Of
consolidating the empire, feel a
cordial respect for the efforts of the
emperor. Respecting my aninad-
versions on the foreign policy of
Austria when it was active beyond
the borders, / will nos. conceal from
you that grave apprellensions were
excited in my mind lest Austria
should play part in the Balkan
peninsula hostile to the freedom of
the emancipated populations and 60
the reasonable hopes OF the subjects
of the sultan. These apprehenSiOns
were founded upon secondary evil
dence, but it was not evidence of
hostile witnesses, and was the best
at my command. You now. assure
me that Austria does not desire to
extend or add to rights she acquired
under the treaty of Berlin. Had /
possessed such assurance before,
never would have uttered any one
word which you describe as painful
and wounding. But / will imlne-
diately express my serious concern
that l should have been led to refer
to transactions of an earlier period,
or to use terms of censure which |
can now wholly Danish from my
mind. 1 think this explanation
should be made not less public than
the speech which supplied occasion
| therefor. GLADSTONE.
1t is not creditable to statesman,

TIE following letter, addressed
by Mr.. Gladstone to the British am
hassador at Vienna, remarkably
illustrates the difference as regards
responsibility between a politician
attacking an administration and
the same man when himself the
chief of an administration. During
Mr.. GladstOne's canvass of the
Scotch county of Midlothian, he
uttered a series of speeches in which
he attacked furiously the foreign
policy of Lord Beaconsfield's cabi-
net. Among other points made in
these speeches was a constant attack
on the Austrian empire, which had
been treated with favor by his pre-
decessor. He did not hesitate to
predict the speedy downfall of that
empire as an event both probable
and desirable. While he was a
leader of the opposition, making
stump speeches, this might do very
well, but when he became prime
minister he had to consider seri-
ousTy whether he was prepared for
a breach with governments at pres
ent an interested ally of Great Brit
ain, and this consideration became
all the more serious when Count
Karolyi, the Austrian ambassador
at the court of st. James, put some
rather urgent questions, officially
addressed by the Austrian govern

Mr.. EDITOR - Your readers
have already been notified in the
published program of our com
! mencent exercises, that we are to
enjoy the benefit OF a visit and an
Grafton from the distinguished gen.
tIeman whose name heads this arti-
Gle. DIR. Witherspoon is the orator
of the two literary societies of our
University, and will appear before
a GAINESVILLE audience in that ca
pacity on the evening Of June LIST,
i at s O'Clock. In advance, / may
venture to say of him that which I
should certainly hesitate to say of
most men, that there is no risk of
disappointment in the indulgence
of high anticipations. Although
pastor of large city church, DR..
Witherspoon has ever been devoted
to all elegant culture, and keeps
himself fully abreast of the living
world of literature. While he is a
spiritual preacher, he is no less
elegant rhetorician and the sound
ness of his theology does not pre-
elnde the certainty of his being a
graceful and attractive lecturer on
topics of general interest. He will
be sure to make speech on this oc-
casion, and it will not be an old SER
mon revised and transmitted.
This introduces him TO the com
munity of GAINESVILLE in a different
role, in which his versatility Of tad
ent qualities him to act as occasion
may demand. allude to his char
acter as popular lecturer.
70 1t was my good fortune, as well
as that of others now in your city,
to form part of large and appreci-
alive audience in Memphis, before
whom he delivered a lecture for the
benefit of one of the city churches.
The eloquent speaker described on
that occasion a scene which he wit
messed during a European tour
made few years since, consisting
of some of the more sublime and
beautiful points of Alpine scenery.
The particular scene, however, to
which he confined himself was the
''Vale of Chamouni." The lecture

To all who are Interested in sub

am sure there is in store a rare and
opportunity for full graft

ion of his friends here, DIR. Wither-

early stages of college education,
but after that the courses dlverge,
and at that STAGE 1T is better for
those who are to go tocoIIege to be
placed under the college system.
= We will speeify an instance which
viii make this clear. Last session
two boys were sent from the public
schools on scholarships to the uni
versity. They have been able to
maintain a most excellent record
therein in all their studies, but in
Latin and Greek they have been
obliged to take lower grade than
in their other studies, for Latin and
Greek are not taught in the public
schools. If they had left these one
year sooner, the rudiments of those
languages would have been taught
them in the preparatory classes of
the University, and they would
have been abreast of their fellow
students I'm these as well as in all
other studies. The present proposi-
ton is that the transfer shall take
place one year sooner, under which
circumstances the scholars will be
ready for the freshman class just as
soon rs they would be under the
old arrangement, and better pre-
pared for it.
We know it will be said, "Why
not teach Latin and Greek in the
public schools pa We win again
answer by the statement of fact.
Those languages were taught there
last session, and five is the largest
number of scholars, male and fe-
male, who ever studied them there.
1t is not thought that separate
teaching arrangements ought to be
made for FIVE scholars at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers.
But from the closing paragraph Of
III. Z. BIS letter, we infer that his
practical purpose is, not to prevent
the abolition of the higher grades in
the public schools, but to throw
open to all the private schools the
right of competition for the scholar.
ships. He says: GAS a rule, the
boys who spend sufficient time al
school to procure thorough educa.
ton are children of the largest tax
payers" and seems to infer that as
these parents pay the highest taxes
towards the schools, they ought tC
get the most advantages from them
Stated plainly, this would require
that the scholarships should be
available to the rich in preference
to the poor. Such an idea, we think,
is based upon a strange misconeep-
tion of the purpose for which schol-
arships are founded. 1t is certainly
not that of saving a rich man the
expense of educating his children,
but of enabling a poor mans son,
when he shows exceptional qualifi-
cations for doing so, to rise above
his surrounding circumstances and
attain that higher culture otherwise
inaccessible 10 him. 1t is in the
public schools that boys of this
character are found and that their
mental qualities can be detected,
and we hope never to see the noble
institution Of scholarships diverted
from this purpose to a less worthy
one.
IT is, however, as a citizen, and
not as a member of theschool board
that we say this; the school board
does not control the matter, but the
city council.
