portioDment from the state fund will reach nearly $500, sum sufficient to sustain the school free at least six months. With a good school in operation in so comfortable and com modious building VIC confidently ex- pect to get tuition enough from out side of the district to protract the term to nIne months. We therefore urge the importance of the five mills tax, and trust the same will be voted without dissenting voice. We also again earnestly solicit donations from those who have not contributed to aid in completing the new build Ing.
 With the hearty cooperation of the people of this community we feel confident that we can soon place the school interests here on so high 8 plain that our town will be noted fsE and wide for its superior educational facilities.
 Shall we appeal to our fellow citi- zens in vain?

An interesting decision was ren dersd by the supreme court of the United States last week. A negro in Delaware sentenced to death moved that the indictment and panel of jurors be quashed, because colored men had been excluded from the jury. The court decided that the exclusion of negroes was improper, and the state court erred in refusing to grant the motion of the accused. The judgment was therefore reversed and . new trial ordered ia accord snco with ths decision.

It is the source of qualification and encouragement to the demo cratic party throughout the country to know that the democracy of the state of New York, instead of being extinguishcd by the dissenslons and defeat of last fall, IS not only still alive, but in a more healthy and wig erous condition than for many years. The efforts Of the more reputable leaders to relieve the party from the cmbarrassments which have threat ensd it's destruction and to reorgan- ize it upon basls of greater securi- ty and stability, arc meeting with gratifying success. The lease of power which the republicans have gained in the Empire state, through the blunders of the democracy, will prove very short, as it should; the government of that state properly belongs to the democrats, and they will sooa gain control of it,

It is reported that Governor Churchill is considering the propri ety of eonyening the legislature in special session to call constitution al convention. This course would generally be approved by the people as the safest way out of our present party troubles, and besides, 3 new constitution is conceded to bs es- sential by the leading men of the State, and the sooner one is submit ted and adopted the better. A new revenue bill is essentially necessary to the States best interests, and if this measure could be passed, the benefits derived from it would more than compensate for the expense ot a special session. We think it the duty of the Governor to call the leg islature together.

 CHATTANOOGA, TENN, March 16. Mrs. L. l.. B.:
 My very dear friend:-On my re- turn from . weeks trip l found a very interesting letter from you, which after perusihg l enclosed with tue one to your father and sent to him this morning. He wrote me a card inquiring If 1 had heard any thing, but as he wrote the l4th inst. he will also have to wait till to day the I6th, before he gets your letter. 1 am not usually away so long, and am sorry it happened just at this time, as your father and mother are of course very anxious to hear.
 Well, l am glad you have reached your point of destination, and glad you have place to call home, even if it Is temporary, as you say you rent by the month. I am glad to see you, even amidst all your troubles and dIscouragements, speak so con fidently and exhibit so much will and determination to keep up brave heart and never give up. Such women cannot fail. Such women cannot be put down. Snch women cannot be imprisoned ill doubt and fear. Such women never look back, but always onward and upward. Such women are it to lead an army, not to defeat, but to victory. Such wemen are sure to have friends, and mark my word, you are bound to have friends who will not see you suffer. Ton are now passing through the most trying time in your western life, When I thought of your going out there, with little or no money, among strangers, with quite 8 large family and you Tn feeble health, and yet undaunted, I could but admire your "pluek" (if I may be allowed such common phrase). Knowing something of your history, I could understand somewhat how it was you could be So brave and unfiinch- ing in your purpose. With all this, however, facts are facts, and they are hard things to behold sometimes and l know the facts confronting you are very serious and I do feel solici.ous about you. I wrote Dr. Stevenson today and called his at tention to you again, and I hope he may confer with ysu before you may come to want. hope you will keep us posted as to your situation and may be we can yet be of some ser vice to you and your family. When is your month mp for rent? Has Willie and Dewitt gotten work yet? How is Malinda's arm? Remember you are Tn land of plenty and you must not suffer for want of actual necessities. Your brave heart will bridge ever these perilous times and then the "sky" will be bright and full of sunshine. know what "dark skies" gre and 1 have heart of pity for all who are passing through deep waters" and though hard pressed even now myself, I shall feel at liberty to divide, to help you get a start, if it seems necessary. Tell Dewitt to remember that "where there is will there is q way" Tell him to rub off the word ''can'tn from his slate. Don't look sober, but always smile, even through your tears. Good bye. Remember me to all your family, including Will and Mslinda. May God bless you all. Ever your friend,
