TfAye WE A SUPREME COURT?


Yesterday was the day on which
the Supreme Court should have
commenced its December term, but
It did not. tits understood that the
term will commence next Monday,
by which time it is expected the
appointees Of the Governor will be
ready for duty. 1t is reported that
GOV. Brownlow has appointed Mr..
Andrews, of Knoxville, the Judge
for the eastern division. MIR. An
drews is carpet Dagger, and so far
as we can learn, has entitled HIM
self to this mark of the Governors
distinguished consideration bywork
performed in the editorial depart
ment of the Knoxville Wig We
know nothing Of his ability as a
LAWYER. as he seems to have made
no reputation in the profession. 1t
has been said that Brownlow has
been reserving this appointment
for Andrews until the latter had
qualified himself for the place by q
three wears residence in the State
and his refusal to make an appoint
ment of Judge so that the Sep
tember term could be held at Knox
vile, gave color to this report. Th'
Governor csuld have appointed hin
at any time, as no length of resi-
dence in the State is required t
qualify a man for Supreme Judge
The vacancy for the middle division
is understood to have been filed b.
the appointment of Judge Shacke
ford. who is reported to have ha'
his commission in his pocket tor
month or so. He probably cOui
not leave the Chancery Court thi
week. We have no supreme Noui
yet, but there is a prospect that W
shall have one after fashion in
few days, In the mean time, ther
is a bill before the Legislature n
curing the Governor to order a
election to fill these and other V;
cancies in the judicial departmer
of the government, a thing that }
is required to do by existing law
The law requires that the vacanci'
filled by appointment Of II
Governor, should be filled b
election of the qualified voters. l
these Appointccs Of the Governo
who has no power to make such a.
pointment, constitute legal S
preme Court?

TuEwEFTINC3 OF CONGRESS-

Congress assembled yesterday.
The annual message of the Presi-
dent will probably be delivered to-
day. Not much public interest IS
felt in this document, less indeed
than there usually is in the mes
sagcs of Presidents on the eve OF
retiring from office. This is due to
the fact that the antagonism Of the
Congress toward the President for
three years has been so bitter and
virulent. and the former being COM
posed in n large measure Of rabld
partisans, that no utterancc or Sug-
gestion from the latter, no matter
how wise or prudent regarding any
subject, foreign or domestic, Will
have any influence. The President
doubtless will give them an accurate
portraiture Of the state Of the nation,
and offer wholesome recommended
tons. If the Radical majority IN
Congress. under the influence Of the
party security it feels after the re
cent election. will lift itself out OF
the slough of partisanship, 1t will
heed them. 4 great responsibility
devolves upon the leaders. They
have done much wrong in the past
wear. Much of it is irremediable,
7 g. ,.I 80 r4''oc's and they
cannot y..-u..Iled. ii can. howev-
err. repeal some Of the unconStitu-
tional legislation which now deta-
ces the statute book, and neutrallze
to 4 great degree, their harm as pre-
cedents. The conservative voice OF
the country, not only in the Demo,
cratic, but in the Republican party
demands that Congress shall eman'
cipate itself from the dictation OF
party caucus, and that individual
independence should characterize
its members.
Itrequires a repeal Of the tenure
of-ofice act, which prevents thai
proper subordination to the Exec
rtiva bead which has Swampcd The
Treasury by an indescribable IA
pacity, and which has in its opera
ton built up numerous rings o
politicians who operate in the larS
est way upon men in position ant
out of it in respect to appointments
and also to removals from otiic
The whole practical effect IS de
bauching in the last degree.
1t demands 4 repeal Of recon
struction acts, so-called, which TAX
from the Commander-in-cbief Of tn
army lthe PresidenD the right t
designate such commanders OF tn

Soaiag Is Pcsturisg.-Let me
recite the experience and practice
OF a friend of miuc. Coming into
possession Of about nine acres Of
land, in the neighborhood Of II
good. market made by the demands
ola large literary institltion, be
cast about rs to what was 10 be
done. Two COWS and horse was
the stock in trade for neat caLLlo,
lie was obliged to pay Ter season,
men for paslurago what they
thought it was worjh, aud atthe
same lims it was no small job to
drive his COWS back and forth. This
determined him to keep his COWS
10 the barn. The greatest trouble
was the rapid accumulation OF ma
nare. BY good husbandry he prop
erly secured that--hs kept feeding
it TO his crops Finding his crops
increasing ho added another COW,
Another COW only made more ma
nure. More manure, husbandod in
the same way, made moro crops,
and tho third Year he added an-
other COW.
Now began another serious diff.
6culty. Ills barn was too small
Still, at tho end ol tho fourth year
he put in another COW, and set him.
selfat work to get up new barn,
/. and when saw him he had u new
barn with modern improvements.
Of good size, 4 horse, pair Of cat
te and five cows, and yet had no
thought OF buying more land, but
wanted more COWS.
Now, people who do not want q
large accumulation OF manure and
gradual Increase Of crops. should
not adopt that style. But it scclns
20 me that in our towns, where the
homcsteads are in small lots and
not easily procured, no better course
can bo prrsuod than soiling tht
COW, and NJ tho same time tatten.
