MORE ADVICE FROM Mr.. DORSEY.

MORE ADVICE FROM Mr.. DORSEY.
The following is the latest contribution of
the Dorsey-Garfeld correspondence:
2n FIFTH AVENUE, New York,
February II, 1881.
General James A. Garfield, Mentor, Ohio.
My DEAR GENERAL: l have been thinking
a good deal of your suggestion respecting the
appointment of Wayne MacVeagh as a men,
ber of your cabinet. The more | consider it. the
more thoroughly convinced am that it will be
a grievous mistake. | have heard so much about
this reform business that have stopped to con-
slider just what it is and what it means. l am
weak enough to believe that the reform ele-
ment of the Republican party is the element
that fornulateS its policy and directs its pur-
poses and achieves its splendid results. Those
results have been satisfactory to the country
for twenty years, and have made Us u great
and prosperous people, and have given US the
liberty that the whole world admires. Now,
what does Mr.. MacVeagh represent? Has he
got party, policy, or an idea that is better
and stronger or pErer than that represented by
the regular Republican organization? Do you
know MacVeagh? Do you know his history?
Havo you any knowledge of his personal char
acter? If not, why in the world don't you in-
quire? He has been the paid lobbyist of the
Pennsylvania Railway for Il great number of
years. lie is the man who appears for them
on all occasions. He is charged with,
and l believe it to be true, debauching the
legislature of Pennsylvania time and again
and of robbing that Commonwealth of many
millions of dollars III the interest of the cOrpo-
ration he represented. If there ever was
q corruptionist, his name is Wayne Mac
Veagh. Pursuing his Pennsylvania train
ing, and in obedience to his natural
instincts, he went to Louisiana and de-
bauched the Legislature of that State to turn
Packard out so that Hayes might remain in.
knowing what do of him. and of his class, l
think, upon the whole, he represents the hest
reform element of this cOuntry-a bribe taker
and bribe giver, who tries to shield his own
criminality behind the holy look of his heav-
enly-tuned eyes aud continuously asserting
through the public press that he is a reformer
The only good thing that can be said of Mac
Veagh is that he is the son-in-law of q great
father-in-law. With me that would condone
much of his wrong doing, falsehood, and as
sumption. The only reformer that / know of
in Pennsylvania is Aleck Mcclure. For wears
he was professional poker player and general
gambler. l am told he has determined to quit
gambling, and has turned his attention to the
publication OF "a reform newspaper Mcclure
wants MacVeagh and Mae Veagh wants Mcclure
both representative reformers MacVeagh
has always been a forager between the two
political armies, and invariably adhered to that

Ny DEAR GENERAL Above all things | do
not wish to obtrude my notions of men or of
politics upon you. l hear so many rumors,
however, as to what you are to do or what you
have decided upon, some of which l would
rather not hear, that, on the whole, have
thought best to write you, and shall do SO
frankly.
First do not think you ought to put men
in your Cabinet who were not able to see sue
cess in our cause at the beginning, and who
after the result was made clear by Others
came forward in halting and half-hearted
way to take their place in the procession. 1t
you do anything of this kind, i'll my Judgment,
you make very serious mistake. This is not
u good time for the tender feet to lead.
We want stalwart pioneers, who are known

ONE of the characteristic featur,

ONE of the characteristic features
of American newspapers is sensa~
tionalism. Some papers make it a
speciality, and are willing to publish
a sensation, whether based upon
truth or not. But such publication
must have some shadow of proba-
bility about it to be en-
joyed by the lovers of such things.
A story has gained currency, through
portion of the press, that Hon.
James G.. Blaine aspires to become
the Horace Greeley Of the Demo
cratic party in 1884. To say that
Mr.. Blaine is willing to accept race
for the Presidency at the hands of
D emocracy, relying upon that party
and upon dissatisfied Republicans
for his support, is to say he
is a very stupid, dull man,
and we all know that Mr.. Blaine is
not stupid. This story has so little
OF the air of probability about it as
to be facetious because SO utterly
ridiculous. The entertainment Of
such an ambition would consign him
to place in hegreat army of cranks.
It is due to Mr.. Blaine to say, that
these publications are made in papers
unfriendly to him.

The Closing Exercises at Fraker's
School House.

Having seen the announcement of
the closing exercises of the school
taught at the above named place by
L. W. Davis, We felt it our duty to
respect the young man with our
presence, knowing him to be culti-
waited gentleman both III morals and
intellect, young man of whom his
parents should be proud as we'll as
the community in which he has been
brought up.
On the morning of the examina-
ton [ arrived at an early hour. Al
though it rained very hard up till II
o'clock, the house WAS filed with
students and visitors by 9 o'clock.
After brief address from the young
teacher, the examination at once
commenced. The first class that was
examined was "Clark's Brief Gram.
mar" The examination was very
rigid one, but the class acquitted
themselves nobly. The next class
was ''Clark's Practical Grammar"
which did equally as well. The
next thing in order was Orthog-
raphy, which was handled with skill.
In the chart class it was amusing to
see the little ones analyze words &C
cordiDg to the "Phonic method,
each one in turn acting as teacher.
But allow the writer to speak in

praise of one little fellow who be
longed to the chart class. He was a
very poor boy and poorly dressed.
The teacher took him blythe hand
and led him on the stage, and said,
with tears III his eyes: The bright
est intellects are buried in poverty"
Continuing the examination of this
class in the ''Secordreader," they read
as though they had been drilled for
five months, but they were his b C
class. Continuing the examination
until he reached the Fifth reader"
we must say that it beat anything
that We have ever heard. At this
time the teacher announced that din
ner was prepared fer all, and that we
would take a recess for an hour,
which was very acceptable, At the
appointed time the examination US were
reopened with class in mathematics,
which passed very close examina-
ton, but acquitted themselves with
honor. AS we have not space to
notices all the proceedings of the
day, we wish to mention a word
about the parting of the teacher and
his students. Never has the writer
witnessed more striking scene than
when the teacher gave the
parting hand to his students, scarce
ly was there one in the house that
was not ready to shed tears.
BY six O'CLOCK in the evening the
house was filed for the closing ezer
cises, and while the band played,
the students marched under the cur
tains. AS the exercises were carried
on the crowd became more DESTROYS
to hear.
The destinations, compositions
and dialogues were as grand as we
have ever heard which speaks well
for both the teacher in selecting, and
the students in preparing.
After the exercises were ended,
the teacher introduced Prof. II, K.
Vineyard who delivered to us q
thrilling speech on education
Good order prevailed, with the ex-
ception of one drunk fellow.

SHALL WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

At the August election this year,
the people of Tennessee will be called
upon to express themselves for or
against holding constitutional con-
vention, and it is time the question
was being discussed, so that voters
may vote intelligently. For our own
part we do not see the necessity Of
holding such a convention yet.
In the first place, it will in
volve a heavy expense to
the taxpayers, which should
not be subjected at this time. If the
Supreme Court sustains the validity
of the law for the settlement Of the
State debt, we will want to make
provisions for the prompt payment
of the semi annual interest. For the
first two or three years it will re-
quire some effort to do this. and we
should avoid every other expense
that we possibly can. After that we
can pay it almost without an effort.
Again, we do not believe the pub
lie mind has yet settled down to thst
equipoise desirable in the selection
of delegates who are to change the
organic law of the State. This is
especially true on the important
question of the State debt. Should
the Supreme Court sustain the val>
idity of the act settling the debt, we
should regard it as settled, but so
m uch prejudice and passion have been
aroused in some portions of the State
that it would inevitably enter into a
canvass for the selection of delegates
to a constitutional convention. Where
such is the case it is easy to see that
the convention might be made up OF
men who were not qualified for the
important duty of framing constitu-
tional law.
We can see some very good rea-
sons for holding such a conven-
ton, but to our mind, they
are more than over balanced by rea-
sons against it. Let us for while
longer bear the ills We have, rather
than fly to others we know not Of.
We can lose nothing by postponing
it few years longer.

Christmas Tree-Aecident.
ERIN, January 2, 1882.

ERIN, January Z, 1867.
Mr.. EDITOR: On the last night of
the old year, your correspondent at
tended pleasant gathering of young
and older people in "Lonas Insti-
tute, at Marietta, it being the oc-
casion of the Christmas tree festiv-
tiles Of the Sabbath-school at that
place There were many appro-
pirate presents distributed to the
members of the different classes
frcm the tree which presented daz-
zlingly beautiful appearance, and
made glad the hearts of of the many
recipients then came the distribu-
ton to the large audience, of fruits aud
CONNECTIONS, which were dealt out with
profuse iberality to all, by W. 7.
Osborne, Joseph Mary, George III.
White, jr., and Alex. Looney, who
would insinuatingly insist that "they
were bought expressly for you" The
house was crowded until no more
could have found even standing room,
and all were happy.
The "Lonas Institute was
named in honor of FL. A. Lonas, a
former Knox County boy, now a
prosperous and respected citizen Of
California, who generously donated
the beautiful site on which the Insti-
tute stands. Il he is the large
hearted man which this Lbs
eral donation to his old neigh
bors and friends indicates, had
he been here on that night he would
have felt that his gift was appreci-
sted and that he was indeed honored.
We all wish him long, prosperous
and happy life.
We have now to chronicle an acct
dent which happened to Capt. J. K.
Lonas and wife, Pauline, whose little
daughter was buried two weeks ago
as reported to the CHRONICLE.
On New Years morning they
started to Capt. Lonas' father, in
company with Willoughby Rogers
and wife, in a spring wagon, and
while passing near the station the
morse pelnS cnOKed ny the cOlIar,
fell, upsetting the wagon and pre-
cipitating all four of the oc
cupants to the ground,
breaking Mrs. Lonas' arm between
the elbow and shoulder, other es-
Gaping with slight bruises. Medical
assistance was sent for and DR.. Oar
riger came down and did all that
surgery could do to relieve and as
sist the unfortunate sufferer, and we
hope to be able to report her early
recovery. This family, who have
been so peculiarly afflicted in the
last two weeks, have the heartfelt
sympathy of friends. May the flu
ture deal more kindly with them is
the prayer of all. TED.

NEARLY q half million of foreign
immigrants arrived in this country
during last year, enough, had they
gone west and settled in the terri
tories, to have given three territor-
les population sufficiently large to
entitie them to admission into the
Union as States. The immigrants
who arrived during the year, are re
ported as belonging to an uncom-
monty good class About
third of them are Germans,
most of whom will engage in Agri-
cultural pursuits and make valuable
citizens. The next largest number
coming from any single country are
the Irish. Then follows Norway,
Sweden and Denmark in the order
mentioned.
The question of absorbing and
assimulating all the foreign popula
ton is one that gives thoughtful per
sons some concern. AS it is scatter
ed all over the country lit
tie trouble is to be appre
hended, but still it is an
element in our future prosperity
worthy of consideration. Our
remedy lies in our common school
system. If we educate the masses,
socialism, nihilism and communism
will never be transplanted to Ameri

AFTER speaking of the sickening
spectacle at the Tennessee State
capital, the Memphis Avalanche says:
'But it is no more crime to buy a
legislator than it is to bny p voter at
the ballot bax. The one is just as
disgraceful as the other The one is
as dangerous as the other" This is
all true and the two are very closely
connected. The candidate who OBJ
tains his seat in the Legislature
by buying votes, will sell
out himself under certain
circumstances, and the fact that he
is willing to buy his way in, is a
pretty strong evidence that he was
sold out in advance. The man who
buys vote at the ballot box, will
buy legislator if he can, and it is
to his interest to do SO.
We need some strong laws on this
subject. The man who is convicted
of selling his vote, and he who offers
or gives bride, is guilty of a grave
crime and the laws ought to be
so amended as to provide for severe
penalties. If such men were i'm
prisoned, and in addition deprived of
the right of suffrage for term of
years or for life, the punishment
would be none too severe. It would
be right, and we would be glad to
see such law on our statute books.
