Meigs was qualified, if elected, to
take his seat in the Senate of the

zen of the State from which he is elect
ed His opinion was. that if any OBJ
| lection was made to Mr.. Meigs, if elect
ed. the question was for the United
States Senate to decide. What is
meant by inhabited" in the Constitu-
ton Webster tells US it is a perma>
nent, as distinguished from Temporal
~, dweller. Mr.. Meigs lived 10 or
20 years in East Tennessee. In 1885 he
removed to Nashville, where he re-
NAMED till June, 1861. His domicil
was in this city A domicil acquired re
mains a domicil until a new one be &C
Quired. Had he left this State and sold
his goods as he did in time of peace
no doubt he would have lost his inhab
itancy in this State. But he was driv-
en- away by political CONFUSION. lie
