Certain Of ths Washington papers soem to have
gone out of their way in criticisms of the action
Of the friends Of General Lee in the late conven-
ton. General Leo went into that convention
with very nearly if not decided majority OF
votes. 1t is safe to say that his strength doubled
that of any other candidate and therc is no doubt
that lie would have been nominated had not tho
strength of his opponents been pooled sgainst
him. IF there were obstructonists in the con-
vention somo others than General Leo and his
friends are liable to the charge. Certainly it has
never before been claimed that q candidate whose
votes doubled those OF any single competitor
should yield his position. 10 say tho least, the
demand was cool one. VOTER.

TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81.

patch, was once debt payer but ia now
repudator and nulliGer, and brother Drink
ard stands to his guns in the latter and bad
cause as he did in the former and good one.
His ammunition, however, in the good
cause was the Constitution, justice, honesty
and the credit. honor and welfare of his State.
In the bad one it is reduced to strained con-
struction of an amendment to the Constltu.
ton. He Gays that amendment "forbids the
federal courts to entertain suits against the
several States" The men who framed the
amendment referred to were honest, up.
right citizens, into whose minds never en-.
tered the thought that Virginia would make
her State organization the means whereby
she could create debts and then refuse to
nav them, and when they added that
amendment to the Constitution they had no
idea that an attempt would ever be made to
use it for any such purpose. 10 suppose
that they formulated that amendment for
the express purpose of affording their de-.
scendants an excuse for robbing people who,
in good faith, lent them their money, would
be to tarnish escutcheons which until now
have escaped the slightest blemish.
The WHOLE of the recent Mexican affair,
from the bulldozing demand to surrender
Cutting, to the toot of special envoy Sedg-
wick, puts this country in a grotesquely
ridiculous position before the world, and
shows plainly enough that Mr.. Bayard is in
the wrong place as Secretary of State. And
all of this becomes even more glaring when
Mr.. Bayard's action in the case referred to
is compared with the digni6ed, deliberate,
courteous and concilatory action of the
Mexican government That government
having pursued the even tenor of its way
from the arrest of Cutting to his release
now instructs it's courts to be more partic.
ular in their treatment Of all foreigners here.
after, and to comply strictly with the pro.
visions of the law, aud has directed the gov
errors of its States in case of the arrest o.
foreigners to forward to its State depart
ment at once detailed reports of the whole
proceedings. And yet there are people in
this country-people, too, occupying high
positions In the government, who are SO ig
norant as to believe that the educated class
ca of Mexico are inferior to those OF the
United States.

knew that he had lived with both Lily
Grey and Edith Bland, but he swore
to lillian that he bad never married
either Of them, and shs believed him.
The marriage in New Jersey was d.
rectly against my own wishes, and /
am not surprised that 1t was not a
happy one. Lillian got tired OF Sole
mon after she bad been a month In
London with him, and she would have
got ava y f'om him then, only she
could not. He kept too strong hold
Of her salary. They would have parted

The departure of Solomon for Lou-

past the number registered at this
time OF the session was between $50
and 400 all the sleeping apartments on
the "Hill" being entirely filed. The
Knoxville Times speaks OF this and
wants TO know why the school is thus
falling In worth and popularity
throughout the State. We do not pre-
tend to be able to answer this query,
but 1t does eeem little strange that
school possessing such fiLe resources
for a school, and a school b long ng TO
State whose population is d lily ia.
Cress ng, and school situated In one
OF the most healthy cities in the whole
United States should have The num-
b.r of its students yearly decrease g.
1t certainly is not because the boys Of
the State are not pecuniarily able to
attend, for it is common occurrence
Tor young men to quit here and enter
elsewhere other and often more costly
institutions OF learning So from these
facts we see that there must be somt-
thing wrong about this, the State
school. And il the corrup ion lies not
with it's resources or with its situation
for health, then 1t must lie elsewhere.
Or, in other words, those who have
control of the school ard the control
OF the advancement OF its interest
must be those responsible for its
threatened downfall.
