Special Nashville CTenn, Letter l

The Tennessee Centennial Exposition, the White City that has sprung up in Nashville during the past few weeks, has now assumedan aspect that is beau tiful beyond comparison. As winter relaxes it's grasp and vernal beauties are apparent, the picture presented is like a glimpse of fairy land, a page from the orient, as though called into being by the magic wand of the genii. The stately buildings, incomparably grand and majestic, of purest white, seem to stand like silver caskets on base of emerald, and the reflection of the spires and tapering minarets in the pretty lakes is most entrancing vision. During the past week the colossal statue of Pallas Athenae was placed in posi- tion, and it stands, as it did in the Athens of old, immediately in front of the Parthenon, and with finger point.

 The high efficiency of our public school system is largely due to the energy and perseverance of MT. Bar nard. He began working to improve it when he was a member of the state leg islature from 1887 to 1S40, when he sug- gested the passage of an act providing for the recording of school statistics and their publication by the comp troller. This was followed by other acts, among them one for the better supervision of common schools and one fer the building of better schoolhouses.
 In 1s43 he visited the schools of every state in the union and spoke on educa- tion before [ legislatures. He made the acquaintance of the leading teachers in GO American cities and corresponded with them for years after.
 From 1850 to 1842 he was secretary of the Connecticut state schools, and from 1857 to 1859 president of the University Of Wisconsin. Then until 1867 he was busy writing on educational subjects, particularly in his Journal of Educa- tion, which he had established in 1853.

The beautiful and impressive service

in addition to the regular congregation
that when the professional train OF sur
pliced priests and choristers merged from
the vestry, many who were unable to
obtain seats waited TO see it pass up the
center aisle into the chancel before going
away.
An unusual feature of the exercises was
the presence in the chancel of two deaf
mutes, one a priest and the other a stu
dent from Kendall Green, who interpreted
each prayer offered by the clergymen with
the sign motions of the dumb. AS each
word OF petition or praise filled the church,
one or the other of the silent orators
standing beside the desk raised his arms,
touched his heart and lips, and clasped his
hands in adoring supplication, that NO one
could fail to understand, for he spoke III
the language of the soul.
1t is seldom that SO large number of
aspirants for confirmation appear in the
chancel as were present last night, and US

cross rising from a mound of Easter

THE MISSING VOTE FOUND
A Clerical Error Caused All the
Trouble.
Chas. Indernauer's Vote for Sec
retary of c. Il. U. Not Recorded.

The refusal OF the election committee Of
Columbia Typographical Union, No. 1o1,
TO tabulate the vote of The Morning Times
chapel, for choice of secretary Of the
union in the election held on Saturday,
was matter of no little surprise and was
freely commented on by the members Of
the chapel.
AS stated in yesterday Mornings Times,
the returns from the chapel and the num-
ber of votes cast did not tally. 1t hap
pened that the returns nowed twenty-five
voters while the tally sheet recorded only
twenty-four votes No one for moment
imagined that there was any crooked
ness about the election, still for long
while no one was ab.e TO explain how the
thing happened.
The matter was referred to Mr.. John w.
Usilton aad Ed Bennett, respectively chair
man end secretary Of the chapel. 1t, how
ever, did not take these gentlemen long
to clear the mystery and any imputa ton
Of ballot-boX stuffing, If such a thing
existed in the minds Of anyone. On COM
pairing the duplicate with the original
election roll, it was found that the name
of Mr. Charles Indermauer, a qualified
voter of the chapel, who did vote, was
accidentally omitted from the original
and consequently from the duplicate roll.
These three gentlemen will go before
notary today and make affidavit to
these facts Chairman Usilton viii for
ward these affidavits TO Columbia Union,
TO which body the matter was referred
by the election board.
A.. he Iaoc or in
timation that there was any intentional
wrong, there is no doubt that Columbia
Union will accept the statements of those
responsible for the error and allow the
vote OF the chapel to be recorded.
