A MISTAKE.

Our local contemporary, the
GAINESVILLE Democrat, in stating its
opposition to the Blair educational
bill, expresses an apprehension that
it will create mixed schools and not
provide for the separate education
of the whites and blacks. Such an
idea is entirely ungrounded. The
second section of the bill provides
''that the Secretary of the Treasury
shall annually appOrtion among the
several States the money herein APP
propriated, according TO the number
of their respective populations of
ten years and upward, as shown by
the last preceding published Uni
ted States census, who cannot read
and write; and the sums thus ap-
pOrtIOned he shall, on or before the
first day of August of the year
eighteen hundred and eighty-four,
and of each succeeding year, upon
the requisitiOn Of the Governor or
Chief Executive of such State, pay
over to the Treasurer thereof, or TO
such officer as shall hereafter be au-
thorized to receive the same, which
said sums shall be credited to the
school fund of such state; it being
the intention of this act to leave to
each state the full control and dis
bursement of said fund according
to IFS own educational system and
under its own laws, subject only
to the conditions and provisions Of
this act"
We don't mean to be captious,
but simply wish to call our contem-
porary's attention to its error. The
Democrat, of course, don't desire to
base its arguments on false prem
ises.

THE McMinnville New Era, pub
lished at the home of John III. Saw
age, says, ave hardly suppose the
Commissioners will notice the dis
reputable and foolish insinuation
that they acted corruptly in the
matter for the benefit of Mr.. Cherry,
one of the lessees of the penitentia-
ry." From this it proceeds with a
column of abuse of railroad min
ions," &C., and states that the Rail-
road Commissioners are being
abused for reducing freight rates on
carts, wagons and furniture. This
kind of talk is calculated to damage
the Commissioners case. No one
has made any insinuation against
their honesty or accused them of be-
ing corrupted. The table of rates
they proposed has been published
and the people want to know, why,
in taking the Georgia rates as a
standard, they increased thecharges
on farm produce of all kinds and
cut down those on articles manufac-
tured by the Penitentiary lessees so
per cent. Nobody has complained
that they did cut down the rates on
these articles, but everybody wants
to know why they were so pointed
ly preferred. II the Commissioners
have any rational explanation to
offer, the people will be glad to
hear it, but such ranting as that the
New Era INDUCES in will not be &C.
cepted as an answer.

MORRISON made the opening
speech in the debate on the tariff
bill in the House Tuesday. The
discussion is likely to last three
weeks. All of the distinguished
Statesmen will make able and con-
vincing arguments, and when the
flow of eloquence has ceased, the
vote will be taken, and the result
will be the same as if no speeches
had been made.

The GAINESVILLE Press.
Nashville Banner.

GAINESVILLE has three excellent
papers, and we always read the M
closely, for all of them are very
ably edited. The Democrat doesn't
like the Banner, and has permitted
its prejudice to cause it to see things
between the lines in these columns
which had no existence in reality
nor by implication. Being nc
friends, the editors Of the Democrat
have unjustly spoken of us, but
they are vigorous writers and we
read what they say, even though it
is not pleasant. In good faith, we
advise them to be broader in their
views, and grant honesty of pur.
pose to those who differ from them.
Intelligent readers will never take
abuse for argument. The Tobacco
Leaf and Chronicle are more mod
crate, and are read by persons OF
all shades of opinion with much
more pleasure and profit. They
are not extremists, and generally
discuss all questions with fairness.
Neither of them agree with the
Banner in all that il says, but diff
erences are expected amongst in
telligent, Independent thinkers.
Naturally, therefore, we are partial
to the Leaf and Chronicle, because
they temper their opposition with
cool reason, and, unlike the Demo
crat, they have the patience to
calmly discuss differences without
running into a passion and believ-
ing all opponents dishonest. Yet,
wlthal, we congratulate the people
of Montgomery in having three
such excellent papers.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.

The CHRONICLE wishes to record
itself as being strongly in favor of
the Blair educational bill. We have
no patience with the constitutional
bubbles that are opposed to the
passage Of so needed and equitable
a measure. For Congress to pass a
bill clearly in violation of the con-
stitution would, of course, be a waste
of time, but when law receives the
earnest support of such strict con-
structiOnists as Lamar, George, Gar
land, Wade Hampton, Jackson and
Pugh we believe it can run the
gauntlet of the courts. The opposi-
ton which Senator Harris and 9TH
ers Of his ilk gave the bill seems to
us to have been founded more on
sentiment than any sound legal
reason. Such statesmen are tinged
with Bourbonism; they grope in
the moonlight of the past and ham
ker after the exploded doctrine of
State sovereignty. The CHRONICLE
would oppose with all its might any
tendency to Capitalization, or an
encroachment on States rights by
the Federal Government, but
we fail to find anything of that ma
ture in the educational bill. 1t
simply proposes to return to the
States the money they have paid
into the National treasury, to be ex-
pended by them in the much need
ed purpose of popular education.
The South could oppose this bill
on no rational ground, and we be-
lIeve the Southern people are almost
unit in its favor. A few over-nice
newspapers and politicians may
find objection to it, but the people
don't deal in hair-splitting techni-
calities and look with longing eyes
to the solid benefit that the apppro-
priation provided for will be to this
section.
Tennessee, of all other States,
should most rejoice in the passage
OF such measure. The percentage
of illiteracy among her white popu-
lation is second in the list of States,
and among her colored population
the enormous number of IT. per
cent. cannot write. The census of
1880 showed that this sad state of
affairs was not being remidied IN
der the present system but was real
ly growing worse. The number of
young people between the ages of
twelve and sixteen who were per-
fectly illiterate was really alarming.
Tennessee is not able of herself to
right this wrong. The tax burden
falls almost exclusively on her white
population and it is too great an
undertaking for the whites to re-
move the mountain of ignorance
that Overhangs the negroes and at
the same time provide for the edu-
cation of their own offspring. The
Government is responsible for the
freedom and citizenship of the ne
grOes and it is only right that the
Government should aid in their ed
ucation.
We favor the Blair educational
bill and hope it will become a law.

THE average wheat crop Of the
world for the past ten years has
been ], 200, 900, 900 bushels. That of
two years ago was about 1850, 000,-
900, or 100000 above the aver
age, while that of last year was but
little over 1000, O0O, 900 bushels or
200, 100000 below the average. The
result is likely to belt is believed by
agricultural experts of the Washing
ton bureau, moderate increase in
prices of grain and better times for
the growers. Yet with this compe-
tition which the cheap labor of Rus
STA and India meets us in the mar
kets of the world, the wheat grow
ers of this country must be content
with small profits.-American.

Appropriations of the Peoples Money.


To the Chronicle: -
Noticing IN your Issue of the 18th
inst. the action of the County Court
in relation to appropriating $3.50 to
enable Commissioned McWhlrter to
disport himself and friends in New
Orleans next winter in grand style,
and the fact that Esqs. Slaughter,
Anderson and Corban, were appoint
ed committee to consider the mat
ter, and that the former is enthusi-
astically for il, and the others sup
posed to be, &c. S
Please allow one who has always
lived by the sweat of his brow to
enter a solemn protest against the
reckless and Wanton habit of giving
away other peoples money. If
these gents wish to give mon
ey to glorify the State Commission
er let them be sure to go into their
own pockets for it, but not take the
taxes wrung from the over burdened
taxpayers, many of whom are una
BILE to give their wives and daugh-
tiers new dress with the different
changes of the seasons, and hardly
able to put shoes on the feet of their
little ones to protect them against
the frost of the winter.
Probably, however, these esquires
will follow the example so recently
set by the City Council, and place
the burden where those voting
for the measure knew they could
not be touched by voting the tax on
the merchants. This the City Coun-
Gil recently did, and it seems to be
a favorite method of giving away
or appropriating money, for those
who vote it to look well to voting it
on others than themselves. If such
action was characterized as it de-
serves to be it would be Tabled Rob
berry under the forms of law.
If anyone would like to engage
in business in this city, he will find
many who are willing to close out
at reasonable terms, well established
business. The privileges enjoyed
by merchants in this city consist
chiefly in being doubly and thirdly
taxed. Taxed for every conceivable
purpose to support paupers, loafers
and almost everything that could
be named. In fact, there is no class
of people so completely bled under
the forms of law as the merchants
of GAINESVILLE. They are selected as
an exclusive class, on whom to lay
grievous taxes, and our city fathers
seem to enjoy it, as if their election
depended upon this communistic
principle of taxing special class to
the exclusion of all others, and that
class the one comprising the fewest
voters. Again we protest against
having money tilched from US for
any other purpose than the public
expenses, and then the burden to
be borne by all alike. Let those
who wish to give away money give
their own and allow others this same
sweet privilege. TAXPAYER.

VIM. B. BATE is going to be nom.
mated for Governor IN the State
Convention on the first ballot.
That is what the signs all indicate,
and the CHRONICLE will be fully in
accord with the movement. But
Notwithstanding the fact that the
trend of political augury is in that
direction, various newspapers over
the state are continually proposing
candidates for Governor. In the
event that affairs should take an
unexpected turn, the CHRONICLE
knows a man who would make a
most excellent executive. That
man is Hon. David P. Hadden, the
able president of the Memphis
taxing district. He is no orator,
no politician, and don't know any,
thing about the Halls of Montezu-
ma. But he is business to the core,
and could carry to the position that
practical good sense that is so inde-
spensible in an administrative of
fee.

NORTHERN AID TO Ex-coNFEDERATEs

Our New York correspondent
takes, we think, rather jaundiced
view OF the project recently set on
foot at the North to give aid to dis
abled Confederate soldiers. If an
appeal for such aid had been made
by the Confederates it would un-
doubtedly have placed the South in
humiliating attitude. But, as we
understand it, the movement origi-
mated with the Grand Army of the
Republic and is generous propo-
sition on the part of that organiza-
ton to assist its late foes. This is
theera OF reconciliation and restored
good feeling, and it would be ex-
ceedingly churlish and ill-mannered
conduct in the South to reject so
kindly proffer.
The South has not been remiss i'm
her duty to the Confederate soldiers.
A scheme to provide for them
with millions of pension money, as
the National Government has done
for the Federal soldiers, would be
chimerical and altogether impossi-
BILE. But much has been done at
the South for the ex-Confederates
by means of private subscription
and several Southern States give
certain classes of them pensions.
Tennessee. for instance, pensions all
of her citizens who lost their eye
sight in the Confederate service.
Our New York correspondent is a
very clear-headed young man, but
in this instance we don't think he
has viewed the matter in its proper
light.
