Mr. Taylor offered the following pre-

Whereas, the President of the United

act OF Congress becomes a law, it should be
faithfully executed; and whenever any
oihcer who IL sworn to faithfully execute
laws, uses his position and influence to OBJ
struct, hinder and delay the execution

parent to the world that Andrew johnson,
the President OF the United States of
America, has used his position and in
huence to Obstruct, hinder and delay the
execution of the reconstruction acts of
Congress; therefore,
Be it Resolved by the General Assembly

BILL oF COSTS.
TIE CASE oF 1sHAM @. HARRIs.

| advise the immediate repeal Of the offer of q
reward of IS 900 for the arrest and return of ex-
Governor Harris. Ny opinion with regard to
active. original secessiOnists, and the punishment
due them, have undergone no change. But no
man has been punished for treason yet, from
Jefferson Davis down; and the prO-rebel policy
of the President warrants the conclusion that
none will be punished. Besides, in Tennessee,
during the late canvass, there were worse men
upon the stump than Harris ever was. openly
proclaiming treason and sedition, and inspiring
the people with sectional malice. / advise the
repeal of this offer from two othereonsideratlons
first, that of humanity towards the family Of
Harris; and next. but not least, that of economy
on the part of the State. The State is liable TO
be called upon at any day for this reward, and
in return she would have nothing to show for the
outlay.
The number Of gentlemen ON the Governors
staff and the salaries paid them. have been sub
ieets of misrepresentation for two years past. I
have at no time had IN ore than four staff Officers
on duty at the same time. and the amount paid
them was the amount allowed by law The State
Guards being for the most part disbanded, 1t is
my purpose, in the future, to employ only two
staff officers. an Adjutant General and Quar-
termaster General. With these, and the one
clerk allowed by law, l intend to transact the
heavy business of my branch OF the public
service. i4sl. aH4- .. 4

CONCLUSION.

C0nfding in the intelligence and patriotism
which induced your constituents to send yeu
here as lawmakers. assure you of my earnest
desire to cooperate with you in all measures
you may inaugurate for the common good.
Coming here with the heavy majOrities you are
honored with, your action may mark your ses-
sion as the epoch in our history when genuine
progress asserted its sway in Tennessee. Hon
ored in her past history, and her present claims
fully responded to, we shall wipe out the foul
stain of rebellion and we may look forward to
Tennessee with the utmost confidence. 1t will
be our highest honor to have jealously guarded
the fame of our State, advanced her prosperity
and developed her vast resources. Destiny and
events, God and history have assigned to Ten
nessee an important position in the great work
of restoring the Union. Let US act well our
part, and under Providence perform the great
but agreeable work of fraternity and love, and
loyalty towards the race of man.

THE ooLeRED POPULATION.

Your attention is called to the condition of
affairs IN the State prison. full and specific de-
tails of which will be given in the report of the
Commissioners IN charge of that Institution |
have every confidence that the Legislature will
look into the wants Of that institution and do
for It what, in the Judgment Of the m embers NAV
seem proper. Many complaints have been made
to me, pro and con, with regard to its manage
ment, and complaints of 3 character which re-
qulre thorough investigation. As you are
aware, one wing of the institution has been de
stroyed by ire. This has been re- built at a cost
of several thousand dollars. This loss to the
state. and the matter Of repairs should be
looked into with strict and impartial fidelity.
Meanwhile, / again suggest the establishment of
branches OF the Penitentlary ia the Western
District and in East Tennessee. The cost Of
building on a moderate scale, would be saved to
the state, in fifteen and twenty years in the
item OF q cash market IN each end of the State
Tor provisions TO sustain, and raw material 20
keep the convicts employed in manufacturing
such as lumber, marble iron, coal, leather. etc
There would be saving of thousands in the
item OF transporting prisoners. The erection Of
buildings would furnish employment and cash
wages TO a number OF mechanics and, as there
several salaTied officers attached 10 such insttu-
ton, il would distribute the patronage of the
State in her three natural divisions. If this be
not done, au enlargement % the State prison
will be required. The demoralized condition of
both our white and colored population is caus-
ing scores TO be sent TO the penifentiary, as our
courts have gone into operation.
Last OF knoxville, one mile and half the
State owns one hundred acres Of land, FIVE or ten
acres Of which eEa be appropriated for branch
Of the penifentlary, and in most suitable To-
calify. Close 10 the railroad on the one side
and close 10 the river on the other side i know
Of no more suitable locality in that end Of the
state. The State also owns property in Memphis,
which, If not IN a suitable locality, could be
exchanged adysntagsously for other property.

When the assets OF the Bank of Tennessee and
the archives of the State were captured and
brought to Nashville, the Legislature, then in
session, by joint resolution, adopted May 29th,
1865, directed the Governor, Secretary Of State,
and Comptroller, TO take charge of the assets Of
the bank, etc. and receipt for the same, This
was promptly dOue. and a constant military
guard kept over them until, by act of Assembly
passed June 9th. 1863, the Governor, Secretary
of State, and Comptroller, were ordered to in
vest the funds then in coin, in United States or
Tennessee bonds, and also TO investigate into,
aud schedule the sssets and ascertain the value
thereof This order Of the Legislature was also
promptly obeyed. The amount OF coin upon
actual count, was asceTtained to be s446 7is, 20
100, which was sold 10 Jay Cooke 4 Co. for 7-3O
u. s, bonds, at a premium of nearly 400 per cent.
On the 9Th Of October of the same year, the Gov
eTnor and his two associates had the pleasure of
reporting 20 the Legislature that they had re-
allied the sum of S5ls,250 in 20 u 5. bonds,
which. they announced. was then in the Comp
trollers safe This sum remained unpacked
and undisTuTbed until the General Assembly saw

he declined TO make a speech, but would
offer his sentiment: "No State of It's will
has a right under the constitution to re-
nounce its place in, OF TO withdraw from,
the Union; nor has the Congress Of the
United States the constitutional power TO
degrade the people of any State by reducing
H1em to the condition of a mere territorial
dependency upon the federal head. The
one is disruption and dissolution of the
government, and the other is consolidation
and an exercise Of despotic power The
advocates of either are alike the enemies
of the Union and our constitutional form

the regular toasts, to which responses were

Cowan Judge Black, and others. The fes-

part Of the constitution by the loyal states
Il the excluded States continue to reject
i, they should have none Of the benefits
