The Nashville American wants the
Legislature to adjourn and the members
to go home. II very reasonably thinks
that the sooner they do SO the less ex-
pense they will b. 10 the State of Ten
nessee. 1t says the Republican bosses
do not want them to 60 home because
these buses are using few Democrats
for the sole purpose Of making political
capital for the Republican party. We
opine that the American is in accord
with the people All over the State
meetings have been held, and we have
not read the proceedings Of a single one
in which there was not expressed wish
for the present Legislature to not at.
tempt any settlement of the State debt.
1t appears that an honest effort will be
made at the Democratic Convention the
Goth Of Juue in Nashville, to harmonic
upon some figure and some plan that
will bring success to the Democratic
party and be satisfactory to our cred.
itors. We look forward with much
hope to the Convention. 1t will require
wise management and broad, acute
craftsmanship, especially as the Repub.
licans and a few extreme men in the
Democratic party are doing and will do
all they can to prevent harmony and
concession in our ranks. We trust that
their efforts will prove abortive. No
Democrat who has at heart the good of
his State and his party will go to that
Convention unwilling to concede much
in order to prevent a rupture that will
as certainly be the death-knell of his
party as that day and night succeed
each other. It will be a crucible in
which to test how much dross there is
in his composition, and we hope our
convention in Franklin county will send
good and reliable men to it--men who
will have in view the honor of the State,
her ability to pay, the amount the bond
holder in justice ought to abate of his
demand, &C., that general good may
follow.

Mr. r. Dorman, Of Nashville, spent
few days in our town last week, and
"took in" our schools. Learning that
he would sing song or two at the Nor

certainly a fine vocalist. But while our

we're highly appreciated, we equal

accompaniment by Miss Bledsoe. W.

On the I'd instant it was reported to
us that Geo. Smith, COL, charged with
attempted rape, had escaped from our
county Jail. We put q notice in type,
but was told just before going to press
that the report was only a joke, and
hence we thought no more about the
matter. But Geo Smith did escape,
and is now ut large. 1t seems that while
he was on the lower floor of the jail
some one furnished him, through the
bars, a piece Of iron with which he Wal
endeavoring to pick through the wall
but was discovered in time to frustratt
his plan. He was then put in one O

came he broke the wire bail from

Free Trade.

Mr.. M. L. Merriwether, editor Of the
Memphis Free Trader, delivered lee
ture at the Mary Sharp College last Fri
day night, on the subject Of Free Trade.
We are sorry We were not present. The
following report of his lecture was hand
ed to US for publication:
Every seat in the lecture auditorium
Of the Mary Sharp College was filled
last Friday night by Winchester's most
prominent citizens to hear Mr.. Merri-
wether's address on the tariff questions.
Mr. Merriwether, who is quite young
man, began without introduction, and
in way that showed him thoroughly
master Of his theme. He treated his
subject in a by no means prosaical, dull
statistical manner, but spoke rapidly,
with vim and energy, going right to the
bottom Of things and exposing the alb.
surd fallacies Of protection. He showed
that although the tariffs operated slow.
ly and insiduously-that the tribute is
paid by driblets--it yet in the aggre.
gate amounted to nearly five hundred
million dollars per year, which enor-
nous sum the farmers are called upon
to pay as a tribute, a bonus to the al.
ready rich manufacturers over and
above the actual value Of the goods they
are buying. At the conclusion of the
address, Mr. Merriwetner went through
the audience distributing large num-
Der of copies Of his paper, the Free
Trader, and secured quite list Of sub
scribers. A running commentary kept
the audience in a continual ripple while
distributing the papers. The lecture
altogether was we'll delivered, and the
audience highly pleased with the youth
full orator. Some time next month, it
was announced, he would give US a lee
ture on Southern Literature" 1t has
been an old saying for fifty years that
Southern people produce no writers,
nor will they read the works of others.
Mr.. Merriwether proposes to practically
disprove this assertion and give q read
ing from Southern writers, both poetical
and prose. We hope our people will
turn out to hear what Mr.. has to say in
defense of Southern Literature"

1t has been quite cool for the past few
days for this time Of year.
Wheat crop looking well. Some
rust, though wheat not injuriously hurt

The army worms have appeared in

and literally eaten up part of
his corn, and also his young clover
They passed through a fine piece of

cry, trimming off the bottom blades, but
doing no perceptible damage to the
wheat. This field adjoins Cowan.
Quite an exciting rumOr is circulating
in this section. On the 7th instant u
negro boy, about II or IA years old,
broke into the grocery store Of W. p.
Barnes, near the furnace, and carried
off few articles. Mr. Barnes traced
the thief, and found him with the stolen
articles in his possession. Barnes then
went to the boys parents Isaac and
Ann Mosley,) and told them they must
whip the boy. They tied the boy,
took him up on the mountain side u
short distance from the house, aud the
mother whipped him numerically, his
father holding the rope. Mr.. james
jackson was in bed sick, but got up and
went to the scene and told the parties to
stop whipping the child, as they had al
ready laid themselves liable to the law.
They released the boy after having
whipped him about one-half hour mos
seriously, but not SO bad as reported.
We have good stands Of corn, and
some looks well.
The Irish potato crop is more prom
ising than for several years.
Hay crop quite low, but think tn
recent rains will bring it out.

THE COURSE OF STUDY

is extensive, flexible and practical. Students
can pursue what they need, but must do
thoroughly what they attempt. Schools
should fit for usefulness--for citizenship. The
old plan-Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and
Senior, with five or six studies for slow and
quick in the same time--does not meet the
demand of the times. Those schools that ad.
here to this plan cannot live. They may
boast their hundreds OF students and grad
yates, but these in the business Of life have
learned that their Alma Mater lacks modern
ideas and does not meet modern necessities.
Hence these representatives fail to send back
patronage, though the institution be begging
nesses that the higher education OF the old
colleges is wholly disconnected from the work
Of life, and that the education received in
them il a total failure. They now see that
the "higher education" without the feunda-
tions we'll laid is indeed "castle in the air"
They have learned in the "dcar school Of ex-
perience" that to give one-half or three
fourths OF ones school life to Latin and Greek
is great educational waste and mistake ;
they have learned that dead languages are no
longerthe foundation Of learning; they have
learned TO value properly the strong and noble
living languages, so rich and 80 full Of the
truths of science, business, government and
religion, and regrets are constantly heard
from their lips that they spent 80 much Of life
in the dead past to the neglect OF the living
knowledge Of the present. Many Sensible
men even doubt the practicability OF sending
away to college, 80 many and no fatal have
| been the mistakes of these schools. Often do
we hear il said, "The colleges ruin more than
they Git for business life" With the old
scheme of study, the old teacher and his self
conccit, the old classroom methods and their
examining processes, the results cannot be
commensurate with the wants Of our age
cannot be satisfactory.
The course of study in the Normal is mod
ern, but complete and thorough.
