and at a few minutes after six his deatf

from exhaustion.
For several hours before Senator Hills

were summoned to his bedside, and there
were present at his death the following
persons: Mrs. Hill, B. H. Hil jr

local and State authorities, rather
than to antagonize them. The recent
change promises to be beneficial and
popular, and President Arthur is to be
commended for his intelligent appre-

him, just as the sober, sensible tenn
perance men will desert Colenel Fus !.
sell. That wide awake and able
journal, the Carthage (Tenn.) Clarion,
has just dug up an old letter written
by John X. Beasley and published in
the Courier-J ournal, December /, 1862
In this letter he lays down ten propo-
sitions, and challenges all the preach
ers in the United States to meet him
in debate. He denies that there is
any immaterial being in existence; he
denies the Holy Trinity; he denies
that the Gospel is preached in any
Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Camp
bellite or Jewish church-a declara-
tion which implies that the Method
ist, Presbyterian and Congregational
churches are not Protestant churches.
He denies that any man has an
immortal soul; denies that there is an
eternal hell of conscious misery; denies
that God "is such demon as the doc.
trine of eternal suffering in hell fire
and birthstone represents him to be. I"
Of course, this implies a denial of
future rewards and punishments,
without an orthodox belief in which
no one, under the constitution of
Tennessee, can take the oath of Office
and be an Office holder. This cuts
Mr. Beasley out, and shows what has
been declared all along, that the race
is between General Bate and Governor
Hawkins. Sensible Greenbackers
will not throw their votes away. Mr..
Bea ley is, therefore, ineligible, and
could not take his scat if elected.
And no sensible temperance advocate
will vote for MIR. RUSSELL after his
weak promise to place himself across
the prosperity Of the State.

THE SOLID GROWTH OF
MEMPHIS.

The LEDGER will be issued double
size, or larger, if necessary, on the
1st of September in order to make
room for full trade statement of the
city and surrounding country. All
branches Of trade, industry and enter
prise will be given full space and con-
spicuous mention. Our efforts in this
line in former years have been SO sat
isfactory to the public and to the Office
that we are encouraged by this and
/. the increasing prosperity of Memphis
to put forth our best energies upon
the forthcoming extra edition. The
paper will contain variety Of matter
prepared expressly for the occasion,
relating to the interests and adapted
to the tastes of the people Of
the great Mississippi valley. The
LEDGER has been the strong
advocate of every measure calculated
to build up Memphis for the last
seventeen years. This is long time
to work and wait, but we are about to
realize the fulfllment Of early hopes
and prophecies. Memphis is about to
emerge from a period of decadence,
and spring up as new city based upon
grand natural and artificial advantages,
She is about to become a national
railroad center, and the era Of manu-
featuring and of diversified industries
is not far off. We propose to set forth
perspicuOusly the growthand prospects
, of Memphis in the extra edition Of
September first in such manner as to
arrest the attention of the general
public.

"SUMMER INSTITUTES" 4"
One Feature OF the Educational
system in the South, Which
Promises Excellent
Results.
Special to the Courier Journal.


WASHINGTON, August l4.-General
Eaton, Commissioner of Education,
speaking to day Of the condition of
educational matters in the South, said
that while everything was true which
had recently been said by gentlemen
who are trying to promote the educa
tional interests of that section, in
regard to the necessity for earnest and
immediate effort upon large scale,
yet there was one feature to which
attention had been called in the Edu-
cational Bureau, which promised excel
lent results. He referred to the rapid
growth Of sentiment in favor of what
he termed summer institutes" The
first Of these was held three years ago
in South Carolina, the expense being
paid from the Peabody fund. So much
good was effected, and such spirit of
enthusiasm was awakened, that the
State Legislature made an appre-
priation to defray the ex-
penses Of two institutes" on the
following year, and repeated the act
at its last session, making provision
tor two the present session. One of
the institutes" is for white and the
other for colored teachers. The fash
ion is spreading with remarkable
rapidity to other Southern States.
Summer institutes are now held in
Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee, but
the most remarkable development is in
Texas. no less than eighteen assem-
blages of this kind being in progress
the present season. They are similar
in general arrangements and purposes
to the teachers institutes in the
Northern States, but cover more ex-
tended terms, varying from two to six
weeks. An experienced educator,
man OF eminence in his profession
If the services OF such a one can be
obtaintd-is secured as superinten-
dent. In some instances a superi1-
tendent takes control OF two or more
institutes, taking two or three sub
jects for his own specialties and
exercising general supervision
over the work of his assistants,
who are usually of the best and
most experienced local teachers aud
superintendents. Lectures upon
special topics are secured as frequent
ly as possible. The services of the
superintendents and lecturers are paid
for largely from the Peabody fund,
except whore the State bears the ex.
penses. The teachers bear their own
expenses, but secure reduced fares
upon the railroads and reduced board.
ing rates. The change of sentimen.
within a few years, General Eaton
says, is remarkable. In some States,
notably in South Carolina,it is evident
that the teachers for common schools
are drawn from the hest and most
highly cultivated olasses-people who
but short while since held common
schools" to be an abomination The
publications of the bureau are in such
demand that the supply of several of
the most important is nearly ex-
hausted, and the issues are necessarily
restricted.

by Monico Jiron and his family, and
at the time Of the unfortunate occur
renee there were in the single room Of
the building the wife and infant boy
of Jiron and a little Mexican girl,
probably eight years of age. The
woman and girl were seated at the
door, looking out upon what was then
a gentle rain, and the baby slept on a
pallet in the middle of the floor, when
the bolt descended. The next instant
the baby's pain ceased forever. The
others were temporarily insensible,

thought that they will recover.

The GubernatOrial Canvass.

THE regular Democratic committee
at Nashville very properly declines to
allow General Bate to be handicapped
and sandwiched in between candidates
who are insincere in running and have
no earthly idea Of being elected. Un-
der the scheme proposed by the
Republicans and the Republican Aid
Society, each speaking would occupy
from eight to ten hours, or even
longer. General Bate, the regular
nominee of the Democrats, could
appear first at every fourth speaking
place. Governor Hawkins can speak
two hours on the slightest provo
cation. Mr.. Beasley can talk
all day and then apologize
for not going over the entire ground,
and we presume Mr.. Russell, after a
little practice, can Eli up the space
usually allotted to candidates for
Governor. Suppose that each speaker
n allowed an hour and half for the
opening speech aud half an hour for
rejoinder. This would take up eight
hours. Suppose the speaking begins
on the bluff or at the Greenlaw opera
house at eight o'clock at night, the
last speaker would close to empty
benches at four o'clock the next
morning. This is one view of the
question, but there is another still
more important the regular nominee
of the Republican party declines to
appear against the Democratic nomi-
nee, unless the boiling candidate a1d
the Greenback candidate are given an
equal showing. This solicitude is
really touching; it shows that there is
a good understanding between the
Republicans and at least the sky blue
Democrats. The one issue is the 60 6
settlement. Governor Hawkins and
Captain Fussell are agreed upon
this. The one who speaks first in
favor of it, will be indorsed by the
other. Upon the temperance ques
tion, which has been lugged in, they
are substantially agreed. So there is
nothing left to discuss. Each one will
say his monotonous piece about like
the other. The kite will say, "Look
at my new tail, and the tail will echo
back, "behold the kitel" Mr., Beasley
will furnish the only variety to the
entertainment, especially when he
does not come last, when
the people are tired out
He, too, is a bolter, as we'll as Major
Fussell. He bolted from the low tax
wing when it agreed to meet in joint
convention with all those calling
themselves Democrats. He is hattered
and lauded now by those who for
merly ridiculed and abused him. He
too is expected to draw some support
from General Bate and aid the
Republican Aid Society in re.electing
Governor Hawkins. These three will
go masquerading over the State, from
Carter to Shelby" and have pleasant
time. No one Of them cares to meet
General Bate on the stump, and he
cares to encounter no one but the
redoubiable Republican nominee
knowing that Mr.. Beasley and Colonel
RUSSELL are only running side shows to
the main circus, whether they know
it not. General Bate will discuss
all the issues involved, and
will have the attention Of the
entire people,
