SENATOR RODGERS asked leave of
absence yesterday in order that he
may repair to Washington and take
his seat as the FLOATING member
from Tennessee. Ii was only the
other day that the Committee on
Elections in the United States
House of Representatives reported
against allowing Mr.. T. A. Hamil-
ton to take a seat, and he was
elected under similar circumstances
1t will be noticed tina t Mr.. Rodgers
does not resign he holds on to hi'
seat in the Legislature, so that i
he does not get into Congress HI
he will have that to fall back on
Just as Hamilton did.

came the acting Governor on the
resignation of Gov. Houston in
1929, cited by the committee,
it is a very grave question whether
any act of his after the meeting of
the Legislature in the fall of that
year would have stood the test of a
legal scrutiny. And it is equally as
grave a question whether the pow
ers and duties of the Office of Gov
ernor did not devolve upon the
Speaker of the new Senate. Speaker
Hall was certainly competent to
discharge the duties devolving upon
the Governor up to the day when
the new Senate met, at which time
his Office of Senator and Speaker
expired, and of course his author.

duties of Governor.

THERE was a report in Washing
ton on. the 10th inst. that the conf
deatial-reEatfons existing between
Gen. Grant and his confidential
secretary and biographer, Gen. Ba-
deau, have been broken off, and on
that day Badeau was instructed to
remove his desk from the room oc-
cupied by Grant 10 another apart
ment. The cause of the rupture is
not known, but this is the first illus
tration of the promise made by the
President elect to remove from posi-
tions of power and trust even his
hitherto most cherished friends
and advisers provided they fail tc
give due satisfaction.

TIE Press and Times Of yestel

The Press and Times Of yester-
day says:
I'VE have DO doubt that Gen. Grant
will take such prompt and efectual meas
ures to put down all lawless bands in the
South, by the judicious employment OF
Federal troops that militia will be USE
less. Had President johnson done his
duty in this respect there would not have
been a shadow of excuse for militia. The
regular soldiers are under pay for service,
and with Grant in the White House
there will be no need of the double ex-
pense of State troops.
The Press and Times certainly
does know that Gen. Thomas was
instructed to furnish troops upon
the request of Gov. Brownlow to aid
the civil authorities in enforcing
the laws and preserving the peace
There was not the slightest necessi-
ty for calling out the militia in 1867
or at the present time, for if troops
had been needed IN either instance
they would have been furnished on
application TO Gen. Thomas. There
was mo need 9th double expense
Of State troops" except to harrass
and annoy the people.

EXIT WADE.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, referring
to the frequent defeats which have
befallen old Ben Wade, and the
probability that he will not be in
vited to Grants cabinet, and will
be soon turned out to grass, says:
After all, he has done an immense
business upon small capital. He has
been eighteen years United States Sena>
tor from Ohio. He has filed vacancy
in the Office Of Vice. President of the
United States. Yet his talents are of the
most inferior kind. His attachments are
nothing lie is naturally and grossly
ignorant-destitute of ordinary eduea-
tional requirements. The fact that such
man, without one single bright natural
qualification, should have been the reps
resentative of Ohio for nearly twenty
wears in the Senate of the United States
is not calculated, by any means, to In
crease our respect for republican lnstl'
tutiOns

TIRE SPEAKER OF TIL SENATE As
GOVERNOR.

The Senate yesterday adopted
resolutions reported by the judici-
airy committee, declaring that when
the powers and duties of the Gov
crnor of Tennessee shall devolvc on
Speaker Senter, "the Speakership
Of the Senate is thereby vacated, -
and that when Mr. Senter shall
assume the powers and duties OF
Governor, his seat las Senator
from the fourth Senatorial
district thereby becomes vacant. ~
The provision Of the con
sGtution seems to conflict directly
with this position 1t provides
that 'in case Of the removal OF the
Governor from office, or his death,
or resignation, the powers and
duties of the Office shall devolve on
the Speaker Of the Senate and in
case Of the death, removal from
Office, or resignation of the Speaker
Of tho Senate, thepowcrs and duties
of the Office shall devolye on the
Speaker Of the House of Reprcscn
tatives." 1t seems pretty clear
from this that if the Speakcrship
of the Senate becomes va
cant, il any manner what
ever, the powers and duties Of the
Office Of Governor viii dcvoiyc up
on the Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives. The Speaker Of
the Senate becomes acting Governor
only by virtue of his office Of Speak
or of the Senate, and whenever he
IS denudcd of that Office his autho-
ritv to exercise the powers and du-
lies of Governor will cease. Who
ever the Speaker Of the Senate be
comes the acting Governor, the
Senate should properly elect a
Speaker pro tcmpore to preside
over its deliberations, if the Legs
Isture be in session, but Mr.. Scnter
must retain his authority whether
he exercise it or not, TO go into the
Senate and vote on any question be-
fore that body, and if he so desire
to preside over its deliberations
else he has no warrant in the con
stitution to exercise the powers and
duties of the office of Governor. In
the case Of Speaker Hall, who be

IT appears that Mr.. Lewis Till
man has made up his mind to ac,
cept the doubtful honor of an "elec.
ton" to Congress by Gov. Brown,
low. He was to leave his home
yesterday for Washington, and the
Shelbyville american Rescue states
that Capt. Sheafe was to accom-
pany him. That paper says: 1--WE
are confident that Capt. Sheafe, not
withstanding Brownlow has $ocin-
aed him out of the certificate, with
out any constitutional authority to
do so, will be able to state the case
in such a light, and produce the
facts that will secure TO him a seat
in the forty first Congress, I'M
less the members composing that
body are as destitute of honesty
as Gov. BrownlOw."

The Committee on the Judiciary
of the United States Senate have

The courts of the country have,
however, recognised the validity
Of the proclamation.
