The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1881-10-12

A Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says that one of
the Washington Sunday papers last
week published a series of specific
charges against one of the assistant
secretaries of the treasury, involv-
ing the grossest corruption and de-
reelection of duty. The official impli
Gated wrote to the editor of the jour
nal in question, threatening libel
suit. In reply he was informed
that the charges were reiterated,
and that additional charges of the
same character were to be made.
lie now says that he will enter no
proceedings against the newspaper.
The matter will, it is believed, how
ever, receive the attention of those
in higher authority.

BAYARD no PRESIDE OYER THE
CNNA T1EE

The Democratic and Republican
Senators held separate caucuses in
Washington last Saturday as to the
organization of the Senate. The
Democratic committee of confer
ence to the Republicans informed
them that they could confer only on
the understanding to start with that
the Democrats must elect a Presi-
dent pro- tenn; that the Democratic
caucus would not make any conces-
sion as to President, but insisted up
on the election of their man. The
Republicans refused to enter into
conference on this basis, saying they
desired to consider the matter Of the
entire organization. The Demo
Gratis said they had no authority to
do otherwise than to consider the
election of President assettled. The
Republicans refused to confer on
this basis, and the committees sep
arated No extended filibustering is
expected. The Republicans Will
vote for Anthony, and enter their
protest against the election Of a
Democrat. The three new Senators
will probably be sworn in without
objection, and the election Of Secre
tary will not be had until December.
The sentiment in favor of electing
Bayard President of the Senate, the
first thing Monday, was overwheIm-
inc. That was agreed to without
even a suggestion to the contrary.
It was then formally resolved that
Bayard be elected. The next ques-
ton of the right Of Democrats to
elect a Secretary before swearing in
the new Senators was taken up and
lengthy discussions ensued, some
holding that the Secretary should
properly be elected before the swear
ing in of the new Senators, and
others that it is the right of the new
Senators to participate at this elec-
ton. The positive action of the
Democrats will probably render I'M
necessary any appointment of con
ference committees. The matter Of
electing Secretary and of forming
the committees will probably be left
for decision after the organization
of the Senate.

Apropos of the suggestion, which
seems to be quite generally favored,
that the wretch Guiteau should be
placed in solitary confinement for
life instead of ending his despicable
career on the gallows, a Cincinnati
contemporary thinks it is noteworthy
that solitary confinement is being
experimental with just now in var.
ious parts of Europe with satisfac-
tory results. For this purpose cells
of sheet iron are constructed that are
somewhat in the nature Of cages.
Over the door and over head there
is network of heavy wire. A num-
Der of these cells are placed side by
side in one large room of the prison.
The inmates can see nothing of
each other and no conversation is
permitted. This plan Of punishment
is undoubtedly the most terrible in
the long run that has ever been
adopted in civilized nationin mod
ern times. Il has been questioned
whether death by hanging is a pain
or a pleasure no such question has
ever been raised regarding solitary

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

The Atlanta Cotton Exposition,
which has been in preparation for
many months, was opened to visitors
last Wednesday. The exhibition
which was originally intended to be
limited to an exhibition of the cot
ton products of the country, includ-
ing all their agricultural and me-
chanical ramifcatiOns, has broaden
ed out into an exhibition represent
ing not only a large number Of the
varied industries of the country, but
also many from abroad In its
purely practical aspect, although
there is, nevertheless, a sprinkling
of art mingled with the more mater
ial objects of the exhibition, 1t is the
first great exhibition of an almost
purely national character that the
country has been invited to witness.
OF local exhibitions containing sim
liar points of interest we have had
many, and we have also bad, at New
York and at the Philadelphia centen-
NAL exhibition, the choicest exam
pies of the manual and mechanical
skill of the world, from articles
adapted to the simplest uses through
all the gamut of ingenious applian-
ces up to things that are rare and
beautiful, costly nd attractive in
the wide domain Of art. The At
lanta exhibition occupies grounds of
it's own, and its peculiarityiS that
the nucleus of it is cotton, and that
all the added industries cluster
about the great staple of the South,
and are necessarily subordinated to
it. That the interest taken in the
exhibition has been greatly enhanc-
ed by the variety that has thus been
given to it there is no doubt what
ever, and because of the greater at
fractions it offers the attendance
promises to be correspondingly
large. 1t is, moreover, the first
time in the history OF the South
that such an exhibition has occurred
there, and the pride that is taken in
it is commensurate with its novelty. |
In one important sense it may, there
fore, be said to be the public in
of that new South which,
since the havoc and the devastation
of the war, has reOrganized its shat
tered industries, and has now fairly |
entered upon a path of progress
which promises to be extended from !
year to year, and through the de- |
of its mineral resources |
and the increase of its manufacturing |
to become far more
prosperous and populous than it |
ever was before.

ABOUT Il PALPABLR MISTAKE.
An esteemed friend has called our
attention to the fact that in publish
ing an extract from an editorial in
the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf, last
week. we Internationally did injus-.
tice to several persons, and notably
to Col. Marsh Polk, our esteemed
friend and efficient State Treasurer.
The article in question was one. crit
icising the construction of the Act
passed by the last legislature author
izing educational and charitable in
stit4tions holding State bonds to re-
eeive certificates of Indebtedness in
lieu thereof, and which stated that
{" the Republican funding board at
Nashville-Governor Hawkins, the
Comptroller and Treasurer-have
so construed the law as to mean that
one certificate shall be issued for
each bond" Firstly, and emphati-
caIly, we never meant to endorse
any implied imputation that Marsh
Polk is a Republican. We would as
lief charge. Henry Ward Beecher
with being, beyond suspicion, a vir
tuous, moral man. But we deemed
it proper to speak of the funding
board as Republican because two of
the three members are of that polt-
zeal stripe, and it is specially pro-
vided by the law that two members
shall have all the power of the three.
We speak of the " Republican" or
" Democratic" House or Speaker, as
the majority may happen TO stand,
and the action of the body is cred
tied or charged against, as the case
may be, the majority having con
troll. Bat, secondly, upon eXamina
ton of the Act providing for the is
suance ofthese certificates of indebt-
edness, we find that the Treasurer
has nothing whatever to do with |
their issuance, and in so assuming
the Tobacco Leaf, in making the
assertion, 3and tho GAZETTE, in TAX
ing its statement as true, committed
a grievous error, which we hasten
to correct. Chapter Vii, Acts 1881,
which provides for the issuance of
certificates of indebtedness, imposes
the DUTY of issuance upon the Gov
ernor and Comptroller, while it is
chapter clxxiii which provides for
the funding of the debt proper and
creates the funding board and de-
fines its duties, which are In no
way connected with the certificates
issued to educational and charitable
institutions. We thank our friend
for calling our attention to the mat
ter and enabling us to correct the
wrongs inflicted by too hasty reli
ance on the accuracy of an esteemed |
contemporary. Iom Riley never
got us into such scrape rs this,
though we have repeated, at differ /
ent times, a great deal that Tom has
said, and that too with far less scruti-
ny than we shall give to the future I
disclosures of his esteemed successor. (

We desire to call the special atten-
ton of the readers of the GAZETTE
to the articles on our first page, cop
led from the Knoxy lie Chronicle
and the Knoxville Tribune, in re-
gard to the advantages and facilities
offered by Goodman's Business Col
lege for the thorough commercial
education of young men. There are
thousands Of young and middleaged
men and women, upon whose edu-
cation large sums have been eNpen-
ded, now idle and out of employ
ment simply because they are not
qualified for any of the responsible
positions of life. The time has come
when every father and youth in the
land can see the importance of a
thorough commercial education, no
odds what position they may intend
to occupy in life. Any education is
fatally defective that does not in
clude the science Of accounts and q
general business training, with a
knowledge of bookkeeping in all
it's details, so thorough that he can
step into the office of any enterprise
or industry in the country and take
charge of the books, and keep them
Just as well, or better than the book
keeper who has been engaged in the

cIes to which we cali attention es-
tablish the thOroughness of the COM
mercial training in GoOdman's Blu
siness College beyond a question by
showing the demand there is now
for its graduates to fill responsible
and emolumental positions. To
young men who wish to make life a
success, nothing pays better than a
| thorough business education. Such
an education, we believe, can be ac-
quired nowhere in q shorter time
and with more facility than in Good
mans Business College, Knoxville.
A small investment in money and a
few months time at this excellent
commercial school will put one in
the way of making a better living
and more money, in an honest way,
than the same expenditure in any
thing else. We advise all young
men whose means and time are linn
tied, or any who want a thorough
education, to enter Goodman's Col
lege. 1t will teach them system,
order, use of accounts and the prac-
teal use of figdres. They will learn
when young the proper use Of mo-
ney, Of debit and credit, and thus
better fit them for the duties of life.
1t will teach them never to engage
in business without keeping ac-
counts, and thus demonstrate to a
certainty whether they are making
or losing money
