THE Nashville American being

THE Nashville American being ut
terly unable to find any tenable argu-
ment against the Blair educational
bill, is resorting to its old tactics OF
trying to scare people from its support
by alleging that it is a Republican
measure, and denouncing the South
ern Senators who voted for it. The
men who come under the Americana
ban are ex Gov. Brown and ex-Gov.
Colquitt of Georgia, Call of Florida,
Garland OF Arkansas, George of Missis-
sippi, Gen. Wade Hampton of South
Carolina, jackson of Tennessee, Jonas
81 Louisiana, Jones of Florida, Kenna
of West Virginia, Pugh of Alabama,
Ransom of North Carolina and VIII
liams of Kentucky. All of these en-
cept Garland, the American says, are
light-wcights, not worth mentioning.
VIII the people of Tennessee decide
on the merits Of this measure, or allow
the self-assumed boss at Nashville TO
dictate to them that it is un-Demo-
cratic.

WE publish on the first page Of this
paper an article that has created some
stir OF late. 1t appeared in the initial
number of new magazine, called
Dixie, recently started at Atlanta, and
purpOrted to come from Hon. Samuel
J. Randall. 1t attracted wide attention
and WAS iavorably commented on by
number of leading papers, when a
denial came from Mr. Randall that he
had written it. II has since TRANSFERRED
that the publisher of the magazine
wrote to Mr.. Randall asking his views
on the larih, and in reply Mr.. Randall
sent him copies of some speeches he
had made, with certain portions Of
them marked. The article was made
up from these marked paragraphs
This conduct was certainly reprehen-
sible in the Atlanta publisher, but the
article is very readable, and after all, it
came from Mr.. Randall.

THE editor of the Bolivar Bulletin
has very evidently never read either
the Blair educational bill or Senator
Jackson's speech in advocacy of that
measure, but he goes agin it on gen.
eral principles" Hardeman county has
a large percentage of ilhteracy in her
population; her public schools run
about four months in the year and are
of Il very inferior grade. Land has
deprecated fifty per cent. in value in
the last fifteen years in Hardeman
county, a great portion of it is practi-
cally unsaleable, and grows no crop
save taxes. The editor of the Bulletin
and the goods-bON statesmen about
Bolivar should turn their attention to
something that is likely to do them
more good than discussing States rights
and strict construction of the con-
stitutiOn.

WAS JEFFEnsoN DAVIS A rRAIroRr

Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, society
young man of New York, whose head
was turned by a little local reputation
gained in the passage OF reform bill
through the New York Legislature,
and who afterwards eclipsed himself
by tiasco in the National Republican
Convention at Chicago, contributes to
a so-called symposium in the current
number of the North American Re-
view. criticism on the present ad
ministration.
In the course OF his article, Mr..
Roosevelt takes occasion to speak of
Mr.. Jefferson Davis as person ~whO
enjoys the unique distinction of being
the only American with whose public
character that of Benedict Arnold
need not fear comparison"
1t Is not to note Mr.. Rosevelt's
views that we make this reference
his individual opinion in any public
matter is not worth considering-but
he only revamps an idea frequently
heard from Northern sources. How,
with any degree of fairness, can Jeffer-
son Davis be compared to Benedict
Arnold? If Gen. John A. Logan, at
some time during the conflict between
the States, had again changed his mind
as to which was likely to be the win
ming side, and entered into an intrigue
to deliver his troops into Confederate
hands, he might have been lIkened to
the traitor of the Revolution, but moth
ing would justify the placing OF Con-
Tolerate chieftain in that attitude.
The Scotch in the days OF Wallace
were rebels against King Edward, to
whom John Blliol had surrendered the
Scottish crown. Wallace was the leader
of these rebels, aud when the English
captured him they treated him as Il
traitor, but all posterity has considered
him hero. Jefferson Davis was by
no means the soul of the Southern
revolt as Wallace wds of that in Scot
land, and the struggle in the South was
more in support of an idea and less
purely partisan than that OF the Scotch
chiefs, but Wallace is by far a more
fitting type of the President of the
Cnniederacy than Benedict Arnold.
Sir John Montieth, who betrayed Wal
lace. could be compared to Arnold.
Mr.. Davis cannot be made an object
of odium more than any man who
was found on the side of the South
and still says he docs not regret his
action. His leadership was matter
of chance, for which he is no more to
blame than ii he had been one of a
Round Robin, constituted of the
entire nation OF rebels.
These spiteful filings from the North
of which he is made the object, voice
only the present generation of South
haters. There were people in London,
no doubt, who looked with contempt
ON the dismembered form of the great
Wallace, and thought he had met a
just punishment. Their descendants
have heard with admiration for centu-
ries of the exploits OF the Highland
hero.

THEY wABBLE on rHr qUDGEoN.

In their long duel over the tariff
question, Messrs. Watterson and Col
var both are give to beating the
bushes for sstrained points, and they
occasionally color facts to suit their
respective sides of the issue. They
have recently given an exhibition oil
this in citing some English history
that is matter of common knowledge,
but which neither seems disposed to
treat fairly. The Courier Journal as
serted that it was the laboring people
who instituted free trade in England,
and the Union retorted by asking at
what time did the laboring people
constitute the House of Lords?
Either of these remarks, considered
san argument, bears an easily detected
sophistry. Certainly the men who fol-
lowed Golden and Bright in the clam
or for the repeal of the corn laws, were
mostly the Manchester manufacturers
and their employees. while such legis-
lation was opposed by the landed arts
tocracy and their tenants.
When famine in Ireland forced Sir
Robert Peel's hand, through the infiu-
ence OF his administration the House
of Lords was won for the free-traders
but the protection party, led by Lord
George Bentinck i'll name, and Disreali
in reality, was made up mostly OF the
country squires. The parties were di-
vided in regard to the tariff, on the
ground of supposed self-interest, as
they are in America to-day.

THAT no genuine objection can be
made to the Blair educational bill Is
evidenced by the way the opponents
of that measure founder aimlessly
about in their attempt to answer the
speech made by Senator Jackson. The
Nashville American has made itself a
subject for ridicule by saying there is
no surplus in the national treasury,
that the money there should be applied
to the payment of the public debt.
Who does not know that the public
debt i easily met as fast as 1t falls due,
and that the resources of the govern
ment are amply equal to its paymentg
If the government should propose to
nav the debt before it is due, the bond
holders would not consent They
wonld rather have their bonds than
the money they call for.
