A Final Word.

Ma EDITOR Just one more word, for
the last, on this Governor question. II
Doctor Grindle said ~ha, be did not mean
in his communication in your paper Of the
10th. be must not blame me for supposing
he aid wha, he dld mean
Nov as 10 my position on this question.
am afraid that the Doctor in his zeal for
Gen Plais;ed, may have misled the readers
of the American as TO my true position.
All have asked for, is that i, be settled so
that there shall be no question As TO the
title OF our next Governor, 20 the office.
Ii is well known fact, tina, the title of
oar present Governor, to the Office, was. at
one time. very seriously questioned We
want no more Of this doubt in the case |
said, that in my opinion, the Legislature of
81. could proceed TO elect Daniel +. DAVIS
Governor. and not traDsgress any law writ
ten or unwritten and believe so now but
! did not advise its being done. unless il Was
clearly settled that it was right TO do SO.
said, if Daniel +. Davis had received a
plurality OF the votes cast, ! should have
held the same views a. 10 this amendment
under discussion, that | do now, and should
have advised the same action, viz: Have
the question settled so that there should be
no question as to his title to the Office. If
Questionable title to the high office of Gov
ernor Of our State satisfies the Doctor i.
does not satisfy me and l shall not beg his
pardon for differing with him on this point
! said, if.the only proper thing TO do. was to
have Plais,ed for our next Governor, let the
legislature of 81 proceed to elect him in
the usual manner, when the people have
failed TO elect. The whole tenor, Of nv
articles, has been that the question should
De settled right, and leave no doubt on the
settlement; but the Doctor and those who
think with him, are satisfied to call the
question settled now, whether il be right or
erong. rather than to admit, that the legis-
lature Of so, or the Republican party,
could have made an error on this amend
ment question. l am not so much Of
partizan, but l can see errors in my own
party, and when ! see them believe it is
nothing unmanly TO proceed to eorrec,

Santa Claus himself could ask for no bet

Southern men. who profess TO be
acquainted with the facts, state that the
negro exodus from the South will be
greater during the coming spring and
summer than at any time in the past.
There is a growing realization among
the negroes that the former relations of
master and slave have created a bar
rier between the two races that will re-
quire too long a period to overcome. and
they prefer TO live where that barrier
does not exist.

The Democracy have persistantly
stuck 10 the wrong side of every ques-
ton that has been brought before the
people during the last twenty years and
now they talk about recognizing. We
doubt if they can re-organize. They
will probably rally again. whenever an
important National question arises, and
they can be counted on as certain TO
rally on the wrong side. as usual.

agent and town committee, BY those who
advocate the immediate change, that they
had in view q class of ideal educators-men
who have manifested a marked interest in
our public schools, and Who are naturally
and professionally qualified for the sphere of
work which it is proposed to enlarge. The
case is quite the reverse. In majority of
cases committees are chosen because they
are supposed to have good education; in
few instances because they are known to
be extremely ignorant. Often the Ignorance
Of the mass clamors for representative
man, in part as rebuke or check TO the ag-
gressive influence Of those who believe in
and work for progress in educational matters.
In few instances only are committees
selected for their special ftness-their mani
fest interest in public education and their
practical knowledge Of the needs Of our
public schools.
We find largely represented in this class
Of public servsnts, young lawyers, and
vould.he doctors, fresh from college life,
With their heads among the stars and their
pedantic feet treading lightly upon terra
6rma poorly paid clergymen who are strug-
Cling at the same time against poverty Of
intellect and poverty Of pocket; farmers,
like myself, Who couldn't teach the frat let
ter in the alphabet Of agricultural science
were it required, and men without any dis
tipct occupation. but Who subsist ON the
crumbs that fsll hum the public table. But
how few practical educators, who are i'm.
baed With ths spirit Of true progress. whoss
thoughts and life-work are in the direction
Of our public schools, are selected for this
important work. The un6tness Of this class
has been ct forth - . standing dsfsct in
our public school system in nearly every
