SOUTH ERN' SENTIMENT.

SPEECH OF THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE HIS MEWH ONi TH 8 CIVIL RIO HTS BILL. , Nashville, Sept. i30. Tlic speech f Jud-o rotter, democratic candidate lor governor, de livered In Jonesboro yesterday, ts pub.Khedln full by the city press this morning. On the financial question he says that the democrats are pledged to economy iu the administration of the .State government and against an Increased taxation. The great drouth and our present poverty made It necessary to oppose an Increase of taxation, and the practice of economy, always wise aud proper, is now our escape from insolvency, and In the enforcement of this Idea there la an absol&te necessity that all iiscm and unnecessary oflices iuut be abolished, excessive salaries reunced, and men who control and collect public revenue held to ti e strictest accountability. The credit and good name of the Stale must be maintained and a 1 Its just debts and obligations paid. The democratic party can not afford to be dish nest, it can noi afford to imperii its good name by tue adoption of any polio that loons to repudiation. In four years of democratic rule in Tennessee ths bonded debt of the State has been reduced f om fl,3uV2i2,bXi to t2.lj!,iö5,12; the old Lwues of the Itimk of Tennessee, amonntlng to 3'.:i7,j7,51t', has been received into its treasury ard cancelled the lloa lng debt, consisting In part of outstanding treasury w-rrants amounting on October 1, ls71, to ?7-2tl,?27, has been reduced, up to July 1, isll, to laua.eoi. The loan account has been reduced since January 1, liT-J, from S.ii,0U), tol21,JU0, and the coantry demands that this good work shall be continued until, this great incubus is taken from our shoulders. On the civil rights question, he Kays that the pofciliou occupied by the democratic party of Tennessee on this grave question Is well defined and can potbe mlsunderstcod, and has bU unqualified endorsenv nt; but he was not opposed lo t lie bill now pending in the Congress of the tTn ted States be can eof any opposition he had to doing full Justice to the colored people. When a member of the legislature of Tennessee he voted againstabill to expel free negroes from the State, when snch union men as Henttr and Trewhitt and others of East Tennessee were earnest advocates of the measure. Free negroes had no voice in public atialrs then, and ins action was simply the result of a disposition then as now, to do them justice, in Tennesson the, colored man tied all the civil rights that wore secured to a white man, aud no party seemed to interfere with theirenjoyment. Itwas true that the temporary chalrmnu of the convention that nominated his competitor stated and thrice repeated the statement that if the democratic party was restored to power it would remand the colored man back to slavery, and he referred to It to say that It was made through Ignorance or partisan malice, and whether Intended or not was a gross Blander upon a party composed of men more loyal in every sense of the word than their detractors. - His competitor was present when .;:... ..... . THIS SLANDER AVAS PUBLISHED, ' ' . and It is for him to say whether he consented to iL The purpose of this addren .was to arouse a feeling of enmity on the part of the black to the whites, in order to enforce party discipline and impose upon the credulity of the black man, and to blind him, if possible, to his true interests and to the disositlon of his Teal friends. What more than this did the colored poople wart. If they are wise or tbonghtfnl they must know that it is an' impossibility, while they are now : ull participants in the benefits of our common school system. The action of the superintendent of public instruction during last summer, in susiendlng the entire 'system when It was believed that the pending bill -would become a law. must have taught the colored poople that while the taxpayers of the state gener ously admitted tnem to a inu parziciDallon in the benefits of the common schools, they would destroy the .whole system before they will be niade victims of ihe congressional social rights b'll. He represented that he did not oppose this bill because of his unwillingness to eo Justice done to these people, but the reverse. He did not want to see this gross act of Id Justice put upon them. He believed that the two races, if let alone, can and will live harmoniously, for ho could not forget that through four years of war no nana or revou, seuuton, mutiny, was lifted up by them. They thos demonstrated to the world that their eight millions of masters were not merciless desiVois. and that contrary to all outside views a kindly feeling did exist between the two races, and he believed that whenever the colored people learned to appreciate the political prostitutes and carpet baggers by whom they were now influenced and controlled, the whites and the blacks will live alongside of each other with mutual good will and good officers. - The people ol Tennessee would resist me iassage oi mis bin and IU execution, If It became a law, In every legal way possible, for they were slow to believe that it , is competent lor Congress to regulate the'r schools or to determine how their hotel keepers should bestow their guests, or by whose side they should sleep al ter death. But unless the people wer aai tea, and a sentiment, of opposition created that would be felt at Washington, thU odious bill would be passed in ieceinler and approved by the president. . He has -already recommended the enactment of a Jaw to better secure the civil rights which freedom should secure, bat has not effectually secured to the enfranchized slave; and Senator Morton, of Indiana, the republican leader of the Sena'e, denounces the mischievous impression tnat has been made in the south that the president would veto the bill as being wlibout foundation, and the republican party everywhere was lully committed to It. TflK CX)XG RELATIONAL COUNCIL. ACTION ON THE PROPOSED CONSOLIDATIONS mcbrat's ABPUESS BEECBER'fl NAME APPLAUDED. . New Ha vex. Ct., Oct. 2. The Congregational council discussed the proposed consolidation of philanthropic atd religious societies all day today. At intervals tu discussion was very animated. The first resolution was adopted as follows: iThat for the. work of foreign ! missions the A. B.C. V. M. beeornesUy com mended to the churches and its advised funds which Xomerly were contributea by oar -churches to operation son Papal lands, through the American aoi ocelgni Christian Union, be added to the contributions ordinarily made to that board. On the Seeon J resolution there was a long discussion, which ended in postponiuglt until the next f jut bad been considered. The second is tbu for wot ' among the non-Can-casF'an 'faces of onr land iheretoiore carried 1 on " with 1 so - much efficiency ! a-d success Mhy the - American mission ary association, that organization be com ir ended to the confirmed support of oor churches. The third resolution Is that, with a view to the preservation of the distinctive spheresrof the respective societies before the mind of their supporters, and to give as much unity ss possible to each in ltsopemllons, it is desired that tho missions of the American board among the North American Indians be transferred to the care of the American missionary association, and that the foreign missions of the latter organization be transferred to the American board and other kindred societies. It was considered In the afternoon. An ineffectual attempt was made to postpone all resolutions, and Tecommlttlrg them lo the committee to report at the next council three years hence. After a long deliberation - the third resolution was Indefinitely 'postponed. The fourth resolution ' was -unanimously passed. It Is as follows: "Tu -it the council heartily approve of the consolidation already effected between the American Education society and the col leg society, and commend the new organisation to the generous support of the churches. There are five more resolutions to be considered. At the evening session the lie v. Dr. Ixinon, of Indianapolis, delegate from the Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Wm. H. Rice, of Philadelphia, delegate from the synod of . the Motavlan Chnrch, were welcomed. The Itev. W. H. If. Murray read a paper on How to preacn the gospel efllclently to the maves." . In his ocinion a stock of theology was not neces sary for this, but a thorough knowledge and ap preciation oi ine nature or we average msn and a personal experience of God's power. But no provision has been made for preaching to the masses. Ministers are barricaded in the pu'pit, and doors of churches barred except to the rich. Provision for the masses must benage before the subject -of his paper could in his opinion become one to be considered. lue ttev. Mr. Murray atiuued . to ine it c lures oi a greater teacner, IL V Beecher, In this clTy on the same subject, and the audience began to applaud, but imincaistciy seemed to temeraber themselves and the applause was suppressed.

Vr.RDTCT OF TIIE coroner's jury it iit.au eh THE AUTHORITIES 3HLDLY AND MAKES some srariESTioNv. Fall Rivei!, M.t., Oct. S.-The coroner verdict on the Graulte mill disaster was rendered this evening. The Jurors fiad that the fire department was as promptly on hand could be expected, from the confusion of the alarm caused by the striking of four difleretit boxes at about thesame time, but that the hochk andlaJders Included in the fire deportment were insufficient in an emergency of ibis kind ami poorly handled on this occasion. The many reports concerning the other branche of the department are unfounded. It i apparent that due precaution wan noi usd in giving the alarm to persons at work In the sixth, story. Had such an alarm I etn given and due care taken the lives of all the persons in that story might have been saved, notwithstanding thero was but one escape therefrom, vlx: thtower stairs. It is remarkable that the fire beinj discovered In the mulejroora, in the fourth Story that amocg all the men employed there as well as tr.oe In the fifth story, to whom there can bo no doubt the alarm was k neral, they did not have presence of nvnd enoozb to Wrn. their fellow operators in the t-ixtii story to flee from their fiery fat, and had even the male operatives in the Kixth story not become panic stricken at tbe first -alarm of fire that reached Hiera, they might have led all the women and children in then eharge down the tower stairs in safety. The evidence fully shows that ad the appliances tvt extinguishing fires in all the stories, such as' tanks, pumps, and pipes and horizontal pipes and hose in the various rooms, were in this mill aprarently ready for use on tbe morning of the fire, but apparently water was wanting in them. The hose and pi pes were useless in the fourth story at this Urne, In the construction of the mill the Jurors believe it to havebeen the aim of the corporation to furnish every facility that money could purchase, and the lessons of the past furnish for the escape of help lrora their mill In case of Are. but it was proved conclusively that there were not ample men oh of escape from the attic. Had there been, the loss of life would have been avoided, and the Jurors suggest, as an additional means of afet v and escape, that lu eax of fire It should be so arranged that an alarm struck in any story should reach all the others In the mi; I. From the evidence taken, the Jcrors saythat It clearly and indubitably appear-, that tho? means of escape by doors from every siorv was free and unobstructed except by the smoke and flame, there being no locks orbolU on any door communicating with auy room excepting the tower door leadingto the tower, ard that is always open during the time the helpts employed. The approximate cause of the death of James Turner and the twenty-t wo others on the morning in-question was the burning of the mill, . they either being destroyed by the fire luMde or killed by leaping to the ground from themllt. TbeJuror conclude the verdict a follows: "et lha lew-en not pass unheeded either to mill owners or the public in general, that human life Is precious, and all means that tend to save, either particularly or generally, the prectoua boon to the poorest mortal have the sanction of all mankind and an example In Him who died lor all." THE STATE EDUCATORS. AN IMPORTANT SESSION OF THE STATE HOARDSCHOOL t-BOISLATTRU THK QUESTION OK OOMWISSIONTNOj HIGH SCHOOLS TO BKNT PUPILS TO THB STATE UNIVERSITY, f .
