TENNESSEE LEaIsLArURE.-Nash
Nov. In the House to-day, Mr.. White
offered preamble reciting the following
. clause of the constitution of Tennessee
''No Senator or Representative shall,
during the time for which he was elected,
be eligible to any Office or place of trust
the appointment to which is vested in the
: Executive or in the General Assembly,
except to the Office of trustee of literary
institution"
Following this was a resolution declar
ing the election of Henry Cooper, a repre-
sentative from Davidson county in the
State Senate, to the United States Senate,
illegal and void, and providing for legis-
lative convention at future day to elect
Senator in his place.
A motion was made by member who
declared the resolution an insult to the
Legislature, to suspend the rules for the
purpose of taking action upon it, announc-
ing his intention to move to lay it on the
table.
The motion to suspend the rules failed
yeas 80, nays 49, The preamble and
resolution were then referred to the Judi
ciary committee. The movement created
considerable excitement The author is
warm supporter of Mr.. johnson who is
still In Nashville.
John Bell was elected to the United
States Senate some years ago, while rep
resentative from Davidson county, and
took his seat. Jonhson's supporters say
this may be precedent, but not law.
