The legal right Of a member of
the Legislature to resign his seat
in order to defeat a measure, is as
UNREASONABLE as his right to vote
against it. Ordinarily this step
should not be taken by so large a
number as to leave no quorum
but because in general the incon.
veIience and mischief of suspend.
ing the functions of legislation
will outweigh the i'll effects of any
law repealable within two years.
But in a question of freedom
or bondage to all the people of
Tennessee, the inconvenience and
loss of breaking up the legislature
is hardly as "dust in the balance. "
Who cares for State credit when
he is threatened with AFFECT sla-
very for himself and his posterity.

TRIBUTE TO THE GALLANTRY o.

TRIBUTE TO THE GALLANTRY on
CoNFEDERATEs.-Gen Hooker, in
his testimony before the Commit.
tee of Congress, on the conduct of
the war, pays the following tribute
to the Confederate troops. sour
artillery had always been superb
or to that of the Confederates, as
was also our infantry, except in
discipline, and that, for reasons not
necessary to mention, never did
equal Lees army. With a rank
and file vastly inferior to eur own,
intellectually and physically, Gen.
Lees army, by discipline alone,
acquired a character for steadiness
and efficiency, unsurpassed, in my
judgment, in ancient or modern
times. We have never been able
to rival it." Gen. Meade speaks
of the ''brave and gallant adj
vance" of the Confederates at Get
tysburg. Gen. Hancock talks Of
their wonderful spirit-nothing
could have been more spirited -
and General Pleasanton, desert
bling the disgraceful running away
of the 18th army corps at Chan.
cellorsville, accounts for it by "the
combined effect upon the imagina-
ton of the sound of musketry, the
yells of the Confederates and their
increasing artillery fire. 1t was
theatrical effect Stonewsll jack
son could produce better than any
other man have seen on the field
of battle. You could tell one of
his attacks anywhere-and the
turn of the battle was Stonewall
Jackson's death"

A contributor to the Old Colo.

A contributor to the Old Colo
ny Memorial states that a return
ed soldier, who was taken prisoner
at the Wilderness and kept in An
Jacksonville and Florence nearly
ten months, and was in hospital
for seven weeks after being releas-
ed, on returning to DuXbury was
summoned to pay poll tax for 1864
and 1865. He belonged in Med
ford, but enlisted in a Duxbury
company, and having concluded to
make that town his residence paid
the tax of 1865, but refused to pay
the one assessed before he ever re-
sided in the town, and was thrown
into Jail and kept four months,
until the money was forthcoming.

Fruit in Northern Ohio.
The Sandusky Register says !:

ne canuusky xtegtSte9 says:e
The warm weather, Immediate
" preceding the cold snap, caused
the peach buds to swell to such g
degree that when the cold spell
came they were killed. 1t is
thought by competent judges that
the peach crop will be an entire
failure throughout this section of
the country. Cherries have also
been greatly damaged, and with
the exception of a few varieties,
the buds are destroyed.
The Toledo Blade says:
We conversed a day or two ago,
with gentleman Of experience in
fruit growing, who has made ex-
tensive observations. He informs
US that he had no doubt the peach
crop in this vicinity was entirely
destroyed. ~

The Confederate Dead at
Franklin.

The Confederate Dead at
Franklin.
The graves of the Confederate
dead, who fell at Franklin, {says
the Union and American, are
about to be disturbed by prepara-
tons for the cultivation of the
farm on which those graves are
situated. The brave men who
fought their last fight on thai
bloody field were from Tennessee
and other Southern States. They
freely gave their lives in defense
Of a cause which they regarded as
sacred. The remains of the U. S.
army, who fell during the war,
are properly being gathered up
and placed in national cemeteries.
1t devolves upon the friends of
the Confederate dead by private
contributions to remove their bod
les to suitable localities, and that
they may be properly protected
from the neglect and exposure
which awaits them if permitted
to remain on private property. To
accomplish SO commendable pur-
pose, a central board has been organ
lied, the object of which is to re-
,ceive all contributions that may be
sent them and see that they are
properly appropriated to the reno
val of the remains of the fallen Con-
federates to the place donated by
Colonel John McGavock for Con-
federate Cemetery. The organi-
cation of local boards In other pla-
ces is desired to procure and for
ward subscriptions to the Central
Board. The names of the gentle
men who compose the Central
Board is an ample guaranty that
the funds will be rigidly appropri-
ated to the purpose for which they
are subscribed. Below we give
the proceedings of the citizens of
Franklin organizing the Central
Board. We invite the immediate,
energetic cooperation of the peo-
pie of Tennessee and other South
ern States, who sympathize with
the object of the organization:
At a meeting of the citizens of
Williamson county, held at Frank
lin, Tenn, on Saturday last, the
18th inst, for the purpose Of Or
ganizing Board of Managers to
solicit contributions for, and SUI
perintend the removal and re-
mains of the Confederate soldiers
from the battlefield to the McGav-
ock Cemetery, on motion, the Rev.
A. N. Cunningham was called to
the chair, and Thomas w. Bull
lock was made Secretary.
After a few brief and appropri-
ate remarks by the chairman, ex-
planning the object of the meet
ing, on motion, the following gen.
lemen were unanimously named
and approved as said Board:
Col. w. HI. S. Hill, President;
Levin H. Woodbridge, Treasurer;
Thos. w. Bullock, Secretary;,Co
John W. Buford, John b. Tulloss,
