TENNESSEE observation-disclosures Reso-
f,stion Looking to the Removal of Senator Cooper,
dc-In the House OF Delegates of Tennessee
yesterday, Mr.. White offered q preamble reciting
the following clause Of the constitution Of Ten
nessee:
''No Senator or Representative shall during
the time for which he was elected, be eligible to
any ofice or place Of trust the appointment to
which Is vested in the Executive or in the Gene
raj Assembly, except to the Office Of trustee of q
literary institution" ~ {
Following this was resolution de claring the
election Of Henry Cooper, repr ensentstiye
from Davidson county in the State Senate, to
the United State Senate, illegal and void, and
providing for legislative convention at future
day to elect Senator in his place. A motion
was made by member who declared the
resolution an in suit TO the Legislature tosuspend
the rules for the purpose of taking action upon
it, announcing his intention to move to lay 1t ci
the table. The motion to suspend the rules
failed-yeas 30, nays 80. The preamble and
resolution were then referred to the Judiciary
committee. The movement created considerable
excitement. The author Is a warm supporter of
Mr.. johnson, who Is still in Nashville. John
Bell was elected to the United State Senate
some years ago, while q representative from
Davidson county, and took his seat. Johnson's
supporters say this may be precedent, but not
law.
