Very Like a Whale.

Mr. Smith, our representative at Nash
vile, 10 doing his level best From the
Nashville Press and Times, of the 29th of
January, we learn that " Mr. Smith Of Har-
deHian is seeking to procure the passage Of
a bill to authorize tse Governor to Fill ofices
by appointment" from which, it will be
seen, that he, for one, is opposed to the cleo
tons being held in March. by reference to
the same paper, of February 9th, we find
that Ar. Smith is striving to better our con
dition, opsr the lefL On the 5th, Mr. Hood,
OF the House, rose to what he called ques-
ton Of privilege. He remarked that a pub
lie meeting was to be held in Nashville on
the 22dinst for the purpose Of sustaining
the national Administration, and Tennes-
sees fayorite son, Andrew johnson. and he
would therefore ask in behalf Of those more
Immediately interested in the movement, for
the use Of the Hall of the House for the
proposed Convention.
Mr.. Mullins thought it not at all desirable
to give the Hall, as he had learned that the
elements Of which the Convention would be
composed, would be made up mainly of the
rag and tag Of the rebellion.
Mr. Smith was, doubtless, Of the same
opinion of Mr.. Mullins, that the Convention
would be composed'of the rag and bob-tail
of the rebellion" for, on the calling of the
ayes and nays, we find his name among those
who refused to place the Hall at the conven.
fence Of the. proposed Convention, how ever
his vote was not needed, for the proposition
Of Mr., Hood was carried by q handsome
majority, and the delegates from this coun
ty, when nicely ensconsed within the Capt.
toll, should not fail to acknowledge the pro
found gratitude that they owe to Mr.. Smith
for his exceeding kindness in reminding
them Of the fact that they are the "reg and

should see fit, in violation Of this rule,
to go behind the action of the district
return judges we come then next to the
certified returns of the several boards
of county return Judges of each county
in the district, which returns were not
separately before the governor. In
three of these, papers 5, 6 and T., viz,
Franklin, Somerset and Fulton, all of
the return judges unite in certifying the
result, and the claimants each admitted
before the committee that on his hear
ing of a claim to the }1TlD1d .tdcie right
to the seat, neither of them could go
behind any one of these three returns
thus certified.
The home vote of Bedford county is
also certified paper s, by all of the re-
turn judges, and is undisputed by the
claimant, but the soldiers vote of Bed
ford county is certified by majority of
the return judges, paper g., as 3lS for

minority of the return judges sign an

IMMIGRATION IN 1S66.-According
to every indication the emigration to
the United States this year will be very
large. The troubles in Ireland will
drive thousands to our shores, unless
the ''Irish Republic" should be estab-
lished. an event which Notwithstanding
Fenian assurances to the contrary, is
notIikelyto to happen. Germany, accord
ing to recent dispatches transmitted to
the State Department, is about to send
larger emigration than has reached
this country for many years. The re-
suit of our war of the rebellion, the re-
establishment of the authority of the
nation, and the display of strength and
resources which we have made is hav-
ing very great effect upon the Old
World. They settle beyond all hope
of future dispute that the United States
is to be continued in power stronger
than ever before: that they will insure
to the population happiness, prosperi-
ty, and ability to maintain the rights
of manhood free from all oppression,
and with the enjoyment of all those
privileges which make life valuable
The destiny of this country is to be the
protection and the hope of mankind,

SACRED ODE
By WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.

The earth is Gods How through her wales
The azure streams rejoicing roll
A If they filled her mighty veins
And she had an adoring soul
The forest-organs sound His march
The mountains towering vast and dim,
Strive with their great dumb lips to shout
song Of worship unto Him
The sea is Gods Her great white hands
Before His brow in worship meet
And all the minstrel pillows bend
In solemn song around his feet
o grandly TO their ancient chant
The coral halls responsive cry.
As lie on His red car of storms
Comes laundering through the cloven sky,
The sky is God s: How sweetly fall
The anthems Of the Pleiades,
Arcturus and vast Mazzoroth
In answer to the sounding seas
And terribly the choring stars
Through trembling space proclaim His worth
Yet radiantly the rainbows keep
His deathless promise to the Earth
The Universe Is God 5 Long He
In meditation sat alone,
While er His brow the awful cloud
Of His own broodiug thought was thrown.
But He unveiled His brow, and To-
From chaos mOaned away the curse,
And like mirror to His face
1t sParkied back the Universe.

Total, ll,O67 1874
Leaving Coffroth a majority of 90 on
the face of the official returns from all
the counties of the district.
In addition to this we have also the
certificate of the return judges, paper
I6. transmitted to Mr.. COffrOth as re-
quired by law, (sectiOn 65) being the
official certificate of his election, which
in the omission apparent on the face OF
the governors proclamation would
seem to priHld .tdcie entitle him to the
seat. The certificate Of Mr.. KOOntz
paper l5l being signed, as we have
seen, by persons not legal return judg-
es, is, Of course, wholly illegal and
vcid.
1t is difficult to perceive the correct
ness or force of reasoning which, while
recognizing the majority of the return
Judges as the legal board and competent
to act, yet in effect makes all their acts
illegal and void, because one Of the re-
turn Judges of the district voluntarily
neglected or refused t0attend the meet
ing of the board and withheld from the
board the returns from his county !;
thus in effect allowing minority of
OilI a. HSAh VI WV fONSi wv viz AA'N'
jority.
The return certified by the majority
certainly embraces the counties of Adj
ans, Bedford, Franklin, and Fulton,
and is an official certificate of all the re-
turns presented, and of the aggregate
returns, of votes from these counties
and as the vote of Somerset county is
undisputed and would not have chang
ed the result, we see no occasion or JUS
tification, on priH3d tdcie hearing, for
going beyond the action Of these return
| Judges who met on the day and at the
place fixed by law, and did all that the
law required them to do.
| If, however, we should waive this
position and go beyond, not behind, the
action of the district return judges, it
would only be to ascertain the vote OF
Somerset county; and that being OBJ
tanned and added to the other certified
returns, as we haveseen, still gives Mr.
Coffroth the certified majority of all
the votes cast in the district and the
prind fdcie right to the seat.
