OUTLAWS DEFENCE.
A 1alk with the Assaseln'o
BrOthoF-fn Law.

A special despatch from Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, says:-"A correspondent
to-day drove out to Beaver Lake, the
residence of George Scovil, brother-in-
law Of Charles Guiteau, to ascertain his
decision in reply to the despatch which
was forwarded to him from Washing
ton, asking him if he would undertake
Guiteau's defence, and to discuss with
him generally the chala of any de-
fence, which might be attempted.
He said that he could not decide
upon what course he should follow
until after consultationwith his wife,
Guiteau's sister, who WAS staying
in Chicago. He was making the jour
ney for the purpose Of discussing with
his wife the purport aud contents of the
despatch from District Attorney Cork
hill. His wife and himself were the
only ones Guiteau could appeal to in
any way. His sister will do all she
can for him, and he will do so himself,
as he is firmly convinced that the
msE is demented. He could not say
until he had consulted with his wife
whether he would personally UNDER
take Guiteau's defence or not. He will
endeavor to see Emory Storrs, but he
cannot say what feelings Mr.. Storrs
may have with regard to appearing in
the case. He would probably want q
retainer Of $1,000 simply to undertake
the preliminary defence, aid he may
be unwilling to appear in the case at all.
An eminent criminal lawyer in New
York city has offered to defend Guiteau
without fee. He saw Guiteau in WASH
ing on two days attef he shot the Presi-
dent. He told him then the dreadful
feeling that his terrible deed had aroused
throughout the whole country and
abroad. He seemed perfectly indiffer-
ent. Guiteau has no money to carry
on his Defence said Mr.. Scovil, and
no influence can be brought to bear in
his favor. No one is going to furnish
any money to defend him. I am 30
continued Mr.. Scovil, "that
cannot advance him any, nor do plo-
pose to raise hun any for this OBJ
jedi He was satisfied that no one
could start a subscription and raise ten
cents in thirty days for such purpose.
He thought, reviewing the whole of the
that it would be better
to leave the entire management Of the
case in the hands cf the Government,
aud let them appoint counsel for the
defence. Ifthey want witnesses to tes-
tify as to the mental condition of Gui-
teau he would tell them what he knew.
''There won't be any great effort
made, can tell you that he contin-
ued, ito defend him. If l appear at
all will simply put before the jury
matters relating to his mental condition
whether the indictment is faulty or
not"
"Cpon being asked as 20 the proba-
BILE outcome of the trial, Mr.. Scoville
was of the opinion that Guiteau would
be adjudged insane, and dealt with az
cordingly. Mr.. Scoville left for Chi
cago on the afternoon train. He will
leave Chicago, with his wife, on Mon
day next for Washington, whether he
decides to appear for Guiteau's defence
or not, and will be present at the pre-
liminary investigation with Guiteau's
sister,

Report of the Committee ON Edu-
catiOn-CIarksVille District
Conference held at
Springfield,
Tenn, june

Tenn, june
3, 4, 1881.
The committee on education begs
to report as follows:
x The GAINESVILLE Female
Academy is in the midst of this dis
trict-located in GAINESVILLE city
noted Tor health, beauty and cul-
ture. The buildings are conmodi-
Gus and comfortable the grounds
broad and beautiful. It is chart
cred institution, of which the Ten
dessee Annual Conference is a
stakeholder. 1t Is our church,
school, and we ought TO have an
abiding concern in its fortunes from
the point of view of self-interest,
both in Il material sense and on the
much higher aecount-thorough
education of our daughters ut home.
The mothers of future generations
should receive the most liberal edu-
cation and the broadcast and deepest
culture; hence, we should no longer
weaken grand enterprise by di-
viding our patronage among en-
pirics, but we should concentrate it
upon the old established school and
thus make GAINESVILLE an educa-
tional center for the daughters of
the people at large.
The Academy, under the presi-
dency of Rev. J. r. Plummer, did
bravely; but under the care of the
Rev. j. S. Collins, we hope it will
excel all former administrations
The Rev. j. S. Collins, president
elect, who takes charge of the
school the coming session, begin
ming in September, possesses recon-
mendations of the highest order.
He is a scholarly. Christian gentle
man, an experienced and successful
educator and a devotee to the
widest and deepest, moral, mental
and physical, culture of women.
Coming with prestige and ability,
and devotion and zeal in his high
calling, accompanied by accom-
plished co-adjutors in the work of
female education, having ampleap
paratus and new instruments, Pres
ident Collins needs only the hearty
cooperation of those from whom he
has the right to expect it to make
the G. F. Academy a grand success
and a famous school. Therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we, members of
this District Conference, sympathize
with Pres. Collins in his glorious
work, and welcome him with all
our hearts into our midst.
ID. That we extend him and his
school all the aid and comfort in
our power, by patronage as well as
praise, and by earnest effort as well
as loving words.

Public Schools,

The Board of Education had a
meeting last Monday night for the
purpose of receiving the final report
OF the superintendent and electing
teachers for the ensuing session.
In the white schools all the teach
ers of last session were reelected
except Prof. Moseley, who handed
in his resignation and intends to try
his fortune in Texas.
In the colored schools the organi-
cation is not yet complete. Mr..
Merry was unanimously reelected,
and most of the other teachers, but
action was suspended as to some in
view of some intended change in
the organization.

rhe cIarksvllle CITY Guards.


Military organizations in times
OF peace, are often criticised, for a
lack Of any good results. The dicip-
line enforced, the martial spirit cul-
tivated, the esprit de corps engender-
ed, the dissipation forbidden, the
knowledge of the rules of war and "a
fitness for perilous times-all are
seemingly forgotten or stand for
naught' Business should not be
neglected, of truth. But how can a
young man more probably spend
his leisure time, than in that train-
ing which makes him filter for a
protector of his country's liberties
"against foreign invader or domes-
tic foe ?' Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. What greater safe
guard can be had from dissipation
and disposition to waste time than
the injunction enforced by fine or
extra duty ? BE sober and prompt
What education more useful than a
delicate appreciation of the rights of
Others, and a manly defence of his
own? What better rule for human
kind, than that formed in the mar
tial maxim, 1.-THE first duty of a sol
der is to obey ?"
We have been induced to write
this article because of the recent in
terest that is being aroused in our
home company both among its
members and our entire communi-
ty. The company is now about out
of debt, and proposes soon to per-
feet itself in dicipiine and drill.
1t is composed of our best young
men, and should meet with cordial
sympathy and support from all our
citizens. The young men not yet
members, should join, and the older
ones, should assist, if in no other
way, by not objecting to their clerks
and assistants becoming members.
The company, it is said, will soon
be presented by the ladies with a
handsome banner, which with their
smiles, twill lure them on to those
inspiring trials by which man mas
tiers men,"
And another idea suggests itself
which, if the Guards can compass it,
will give great impetus toward its
successful career. There is an AMI
mated difference of opinion between
the Chickasaw Guards and the Por-
ter Rifles, as to which is the better
drilled ; a contest is near at hand;
it will take place on neutral ground,
why not in GAINESVILLE? To each
company, we, both for our military
and civilians, extend cordial in
vitatiOn and hospitable welcome.
The Mayor of our city, Capt. j. J.
Crusman, one of the truest and best
friends of our home organization,
will no doubt add the invitation of
the municipal authorities, and our
mere hants, we know will lend
helping hand, to make our visitors
have royal time. A contest be-
tween such companies will bring
hundreds from Memphis, Nashville
Louisville and all our surrounding
cities and towns, and thousands
from the country to witness it. 1t
will be military gala-day. Let's
have them then! Three cheers for
the Chicks! Three cheers for the
Porters ! And tiger for our own
gallant boys!

Public schools.


We Propose to make no detailed
comment upon the exercises which
closed the late session Of the public
schools. They were made to take
as little as possible, the character Of
a public exhibition. The parents and
relatives of the pupils were simply
invited to witness the Improvement
their children had made in reading
and resitation, and we think our
selves justified in stating that the
impression was universal that, at
least as regards these attainments,
no better work has ever been done
in GAINESVILLE. 1t seems inyidious
to discriminate, but we cannot re-
frain from mentioning with special
cofanendation the recitation of lit
tie Birdie Shaekelford. Articula-
ton, emphasis and expression were
given with a perfection which sur
prised even ourselves, who were ac-
quainted with the incessant care
which has been devoted to elocu-
cution throughout the session.
Young Arthur. kIeemann, also,
must come in for special notice in
the recitation Of a little scene, de-
scribing the death of a poor boot
black, he exhibited exceptional
power, not only as speaker, but as
an actor, drawing tears from more
than one of his fair auditors.
We must close this notice with a
we'll deserved tribute to the merits
and services of Prof. Moseley, who
leaves US this summer to take up
his residence in Texas, where he
has relatives. Mr.. Moseley has
now resided in GAINESVILLE two
years, having arrived here a very
young man. Indeed his youthful
appearance afforded some, misgiv-
ing to his ability to establish his
authority among his pupils. His
scholarship had been assertained
by unexceptionable tests, and he
soon dissipated the misgivings by
gaining an influence with the stu
dents WHICH surpassed all expecta-
ton. He leaves behind him a name
universally popular with the pupils
of the school, and we may add that
his social talents and gentlemanly
bearing have left an equally favora-
bly, impression on general society.
He will be missed and regretted
wherever he becomes known, and
his place here will not be easily fill
