BARNUms OPPORTUNITY.
The Shining lights Of the Ten
nessee Legislature.

A Chattanooga correspondent Of the
| Cincinnati Commercial writes:
There are good Een among our law
makers, ard at the same time there are q
considerable number who could better
serve the State by remaining at home
If B4rnum should desire 3 dozen fools, /
think he would have no trouble in ind
ing them in the capitol when the Legis
lature is 10 session, and sn order for q
larger number migheessily be filed from
the same place without very material
reduction OF the stock on hand.
A shining light OF that august body
not long ago introduced bill to the ef-
feet that 40 one could teach school in the
State unless he or she should first sub
scribe to the test oath. Another member
proposed that no one should be allowed
20 marry in the State without first taking
the irou-eiad cath. An old blower by
the name Of Bowies, tried to get bill
through prohibiting gsttsrneysfrom charg-
ing Zee when they lost 3 case Ia court.
Some time zge-fhey wsrs arguing a
measure 70 allow every mother OF trip
lets bounty Of S75, that is, S25 10 each
child, where there were three st q birth.
Recently bill was introduced 10 allow
sii elsTgymen IN toe State to ride over
railroads free Hf charge; and to cap the
climax, sCEae fellow jumped up snd pro-
posed that they pass law to compel
women to wear paQtsl0ons.
Ia the way CT novelty, I think our
LegisiatErs will compare favOrsbly with
tnst Of any other State In the Union; for
probably there is no other body Of law
makers in the country who discuss such
peculiar questions as are discussed Ia the
capitol at Ma sh7ille.

THE NEGRO IN GEORGIA
His Eligibility 10 Hold once.

From the Columbus (Ga-) San of the 25th.J
The Savannah AClUeTtiseT contains the
following notice of the "quo WarrsDto "
which has been sued out TO test the ell.
gibility OF the negro to hold Office
Z" IL appears thst we are In fair way
to have the eligibility of negroes 10 hold
office in the State of Georgia fully tested
by the Supreme Court, and that 10 a
case nsds up 10 Savannah. We were
yesterday shown the order of Judge
Schley, OF the Superior Conrt Of Chat
ham county, granted upon information
filed by w. j, Clements Esq. The or
der was issued yesterday morning and
made returnsble on Tuesday next, the
18th, for Richard G. White to appear and
show cause why writ of quo WarrsntO
SHOULD not be issued against him, to es-
tablish by what right he holds the Office
OF Clerk OF the Superior Court of Chat
ham cOuaty. Arguments will be had
upon his preliminary order on Tuesday
and rs the most eminent counsel before
our bar have been retained, q most Ia
teTssting aud able discussion Of the ques-
tion may be anticipated. 1t will be re-
membeTed that Mr.. Clements was the
opposing candidate ia the contest for
clerk, aud was beRtsn. IL the Supreme
Court should decide that negro is in
eligible to hold Office, Mr.. Clements,
having received the highest nun Der Of
legitimate votes, will enter upon the OIL
ice. The Legislature have already dis
cpsssd the matter of making uP case
Of this character for the courts, and the
present one will decide the mstter once
for all, as far as the courts OF Georgia
are concerned"
The decision Of this case will settle
this Yexed question. II the court de-
cldes that White has right to the office,
the decision must and will be binding
upon future legislatures. It can In no
wise affect the state Of the negroes ex-
PEELED from the present Legislature.
