other corporations, leaving the General AS
semb!y only to attend to matters Of general
concernment and 10 the disposition of claims
OF the treasury. TO this business The mou
bcrs Of both Houses addressed themselves with
audabo zeal, and the consequence has been
the enacton Of about the usual number Of pub.
lie acts, in period Of timo but little more than
equal to half an ordinary session. We trust
it will not be deemed invidious that we add,
that the House Of Representative has had
most excellent presiding officer; aud that to
The untiring assidniiy and the prompt action Of
Speaker Foot, was that branch much indebted
for the rapid JisposliOn Of its business. In
quickness OF perccplion--in eli ornefs and
promptness Of decision on all questions Of or.
der-in uihanitY and stlict impurluiy
in truth, as to all tho qualities Of u presiding
officer, Mr. Foot has not been exceled by any
Speaker Of the House within our remem-
brance. Not single decision OF his was mp
pealed from, and the response to tho customary
resolution Of thanks, was, VIC venture 10 say,
not only unanimous, but, as TO every member
Of both political parties, hearty one.
The speeches have boon-for a wonder -
remarkably short. A proposition 10 change
entirely the principle Of making out the grand
list was, perhups, as thoroughly discussed as
any, No act, on hat subject was passed: an
expression OF the House was had, however,
and 1t was nearly unanimous in favor Of gem
erdt assessment Of ALL property for taration
and this seems 10 us 10 be, generally, The
only equal, and therefore The only true, iue.
An act providing for new organization OF
the militia was passed. This act differs very
little from the old acts, as to exemptions ii
does not, we behave, exempt Justices Of the
peace. The principal object Of it is to obtain
a complete and systematic organization Of the
militia, and to compel fall and annual returns
Of the number Of men enrolled, and condition
oil arms, &c. This, and all of The public acts
will be given our readers as soon as possible.
We have only 10 udd, that the minority, al
ho' all their candidates, with a single excef'
ton, were "rowed up Salt River" suffered de
feat with good grace-just as though they
were used to it the victors, we suppose, iel
about as well as most victors do and, moi
wilhsrauding the existence Of party feeling a
deep us ever, the session was remarkable 70
little Of party runcuur, and much Of harmon.
and good feeling.

the Nashville Banner, in Convention the

Iccrng a Senator in Congress, from the ALI
dav oi March 1889, when EPHRAlM Ii.

elected on the first call of tile two Houses,
BY a majority Of 80 votes, over Gen. VIM
Carroll, oil Davidson.
Mr.. Foster was nominated hy Mr..
WhitesiGe of the Senate.
Mr.. Guild stated that he was authorized
to request The General Assembly not 20 use
the name Of the present incumbent, Mr..
Grundy.
Mr.. Mitchell said that he should vote Tor
Gen. Carroll, and believing that lie wound
be the choice Of a majority Of the people of
Tennessee, he put his name in nomination.
The vote stood thus:
Senaie-Fosler [Whig] 10. House, 49,
Carroll (V. B. 7. IT
The vote in the Senate was a party
! one.
In the two Houses, two administration
men voted for Mr.. Foster, distinguished
attorney Of Nashville and was formerly tie
Speaker OF the House. The Banner saws:
at is scarcely necessary to add, that IN
politics. he isa thorough going whig, and
that while he will represent faithfully and
impartially, tie whole State, no man Will
be found more active in the support OF the

The Temperance guestion.-Much to the
establishment, we upprehond, Of nine tenlhs Of
community, tue House, on the last night OF
the session, adopted a resolution declaring tina {
the General Assembly has not the constitution
al power TO prohibit the traffic in ardent spirits.
Justice demands that his matte. should be
explained. In the early part of the session.
Mr. Dee, of Georgia, for many years a mem
Der, and, we believe the oldest in the House,
introduced the resoluton-honesily and firmly
believing, no one acquainted with him will
question, that it expressed correct opinion.
1t was referred TO the Judiciary committee,
and was reported without the expression Of
any opinion; was next referred 10 the select
committee on temperance memorials and re-
ported against unanimously. On the last night
Of the session, and at late hour, MIR Dee cal
led up the resolution, and expressed an earn
est desire, he had frequently done during
the session, that direct vote might be taken.
He was proceeding to make some remarks,
when a most dserac,ful scene occurred
notwithstanding the oldest member Of the
House was on the floor-a member too who
seldom spoke on any questIon-nn at
tempt was made to put him down by cough
ing, drumming of feet, sc, SC. The speaker
appealed to him as to the expedicncy OF per-
sis'ing in his remarks amidst such disorder.
| Mr. Tracy boldly denounced the conduct Of
members as disgracclul, even TO an assembly
of boys, and made an eloquent appeal in behalf
OF the venerable member, seconded by MIR
! Field Of Wilmington, in manner and spirit
| highly credtable 10 him. Order was restored
tile better feelings Of the House prcdomina-
ted-Mr Dec merely expressed a desire Tor a
vote and 1t was taken-yeas 63, nays 52.-
| This vote embraced but lille more than half
Of the members; many OF them Withholding
their votes from q regard--and mistaken one,
we will add 10 the feelings Of the mover.
We believe Mr. Dee would be perfectly salts
fed with the rejection Of his resolution, had ii
been done on IA full vote, BY ayes and noes.
