The Schools,

The schools open on Monday next and

will be large, in fact larger than for any

that the attendance during the term will
be much in excess of last year, which was
unusually heavy. The new school house

transformation Of Washington from a
struggling and neglected town to a
handsome metropolis. Nothing goes
farther to justify the choice of this
locality as the capital than its climate.
Though it suffers from the summer
heats, its temperature during by far
the larger part Of the year is most
comfortable, and the change from the
inclement weather which prevails over
the greater portion of the country
through the winter months to the
usual balmy air Of the capital is es-
pecially grateful. Indeed, as a winter
residence, Washington possesses greater
charms than any other city on the
continent. what with its mild weather,
its exceptional social advantages and
the attractions which the meeting Of
congress presents to any one interested
IN studying our system Of government
at its fountain head. Every year the
capital is becoming more and more the
winter headquarters for people Of
leisure, Tor persons Of literary tastes,
for students of politics, for devotees
OF fashion, and composite society is
gradually growing up IN which every
oody Is sure to ind congenial ele-
ments.

THE LATE GENERAL BEN HILL.
Meeting Of Memphians, who Sum.
mered at McMinnville.
Resolutions of Respect.

Pursuant to a call in the LEDGER
there was was a meeting yesterday,
January 13, 1880, at the office of
Messrs. Craft & Cooper, on Madison
street, OF gentlemen who spent the
summer of 1879 at McMinnville,
Tenn, and-were the guests Of General
Ben j. Hill, at that place. There
were present Ed. w. Munford, f. T..
Edmondson, j. NJ. Trezevant, L. P.
Cooper, Walter Gregory, G, I. Patter-
son, W. S. Titus, Henry craft, w. T.
Avery, w. G. Mcclure, Rev. H. A.
Jones, Ben Richmond, Ely Rayner
and others. The object of the meet
ing was to express their regret at the
death ofGeneral Hill and their sym
pathy for his family.
Colonel Ed, w. Munford was Sc
lected as chairman and G. D. Rains
as secretary. Messrs. W, T. Avery,
Henry Craft, Rev. H. A. Jones, w. G..
Mcclure. and L. ?. Cooper, were APP
pointed a committee to draft suitable
resolutions, expressive Of the sense of
the gentlemen present. They retired
and retGrped with the following reso-
lutions which were adopted

ings Of the profoundest sorrow, Of the
death of Gen. B. J. Hill, of McMinn-
vile. Tennessee, and deawing it not
Inappropriate that we, quite a number
of the citizens Of our city, sojourning
with him during the past summer,
and the recipients of his kindness and
hospitality, should give some public
expression Of our high appreciation of
him as a man, aud Of our sincerest
sympathy for those who aFe most
deeply afflicted by this their great
bereavement,
Its therefore resolved, That having
only been associated with Gen. Hill
for few summer months, we can from
an acquaintance even during that
short period well appreciate the ex-
alted place which he filled, ia the
hearts of the whole people in the
midst Of whom his entire life had
been spent;
Resolved, That we unite with
his neighbors and friendsin expressing
the sentiment that in the death Of
General Hill the people of McMinn-
Vile and Of Warren county have lost
one of their most charitable, generous
and warm hearted citizens, and the
State one Of It's most distinguished
and patriotic public servants.
That as a citizen and as a soldier he
met. as be merited, the highest com

That the papers Of our city be re-
auested to publish these proceedings,
and that the secKetary of this meeting

THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
The Fascination Of Life In Washington.

A writer in Good Company says !:
There is nameless fascination in the
Washington air. The average citizen,
living far removed from the capital,
often wonders why the Office holder
who comes to Washington is so 10th
to leave it that he will often stoop to
almost any device to secure a further
lease of power-whether it be four
years in the White House, another
term in either end of the capital OF
only a longer commission in q petty
department clerkship, But when the
citizen comes to Washington himself,
the mystery is solved. lie may not be
able to define them very clearly, but
he cannot stay long in the city without
himself experiencing in some measure
those subtle influences which render
then capital so attractive to the per-
manent resident. Even to the casual
visitor there is something very inter.
esting about merely watching the
great governmental machine or inspect
ing its component parts, The very
atmosphere of the capital, instinct
with the official and social life that
centefs about the seat of government
ina great nation, seems to possess q
singular charm, which disposes one o
linser and enjoy ii. The stranger no
longer wonders that the office holder
likes Washington, that he constantly
schemes for an extension Of his term
that, if finally deposed from power, he
so often prefers the most humble po-
sition here to residence elsewhere.
Not the least among Washington S
charms are its physical and climatic
advantages. No one can longer doubt
that the city is fit to be the capital of
a great country. The comprehensive
plan on which it was laid out in the
early years Of the struggling republic,
gives one a fresh respect for those far
sighted fathers who could even then
deyiseda scheme which should to day
fit the necessities of the seat Of gov
ernment for fifty millions of people,
and bo capable of equal development
with the progress Of the nation here
after. The broad avenues are con.
stant source Of delight, the parks and
squares are ample for the needs of a
large city, and the great system of
improvements, carried through with
whatever corruption under the Shep-
herd regime, laid the basis for the

We would suggest to the local
board of health that it is high time to
destroy the old shanties which have
been condemned. These rookeries
are regular pest-holes, and have not
been cleaned up in many years. They

AN OUTSIDE OPINION.

We have just been shown letter

who has recently made an Investment

the following quotation II am afraid

efforts, which looks bad to the out
