HOUSE.
tt 9 Speaker announced that the
bill known as the conventional inter-
est bill had been incorrectly engross-
ed by the EngrOssing Clerk, and in
its incorrect form had been copied in
the Secretary of States office. After
examing the journals of both houses
he found that no such amendment as
having it take effect from and after
its passage had been adopted. The
bill as passed made take effect from
the 1st Of June. The Senate having
refused to concur in House amend
ment exemF ting members of city
councils of incorporated towns from
serving on juries, the House receded
from its amendment. Mr.. Speaker
Perkins and Mr.. Neill S. Brown, Jr..
First CLERK OF the House, were each
presented with gold headed cane,
as a mark Ofrespect from members Of
the House. Mr.. Cheatham from The
conference committee appointed to
adjust the differences between the
two houses on the County Marshal
bill, submitted report recommend
ing that the House recede from its
amendment, and adopt the bill as it
came from the Senate. On call OF

Reconstruction in Tennessee.


The New York Herald says that
Brownlow, who aided the Senter pm
ty before election, ia Disguised with
the State government and favors the
establishment of military rule -
The radical delegation in Congress is
preparing evidence To show that Ten
uessee has violated her pledges made
under the reconstruction act, and it
is reported that Ben Butler, chair
man of the Reconstruction Commit
tee, is favorable to Brownlow's pro-
position. One cause of disquietude
for the radicals is the probable exPul-
sion of Butler, of Tennessee, and The
possible election of Andy Johnson to
the House in Misplace. They look
on him as an sayepging Nemesis, and
sIlsfear him Except Ben Butler, who
never feared thing but Heaven
and the armed rebels.

TheAJudiciary.


The canvass I{thelJ judiciary win

bune, and perhaps bis not too soon
to cast about fOr les.
We insist nov be
the only test and
our sole object be to procure
an ables Earned bench
No man, unP9 9the law, can be
a Judge, and we must select
one from the5TanEs Of tho legal pro-
fession.
It il maxim among law yers that
each of them owes a debate his pro-
fession. We can see it's iustiee5on no
oth|asis than this, that the probes
Jon coafers honor or profit its
members. From the days Of Lord
Coke down to the present time, mem
bership of the legal profession has,
in England, been accepted as evi-
dence of some degree of distinction.
Here little or no consideration at
taches to the fact of admission to the
bar. Access to the profession has
been made easy, if not free, to nearly
all applicants, however poor their tai
ents or mean their endowmen,s. And
the same causes that have lowered
the intellectual and moral standard of
the profession, have also destroyed,
in great degree, the old pride of its
members and impaired the public re-
spectjfor it and the bench.
The New York Times looks upon
these facts as a grave national calam-
ity. They are no less disastrous to
the whole community than they are
to the lawyers and Judges themsel-
ARgBThe laws of free peoE
expression of their sense OF -
tee, and the guarantee of property
and personal safety. The
certainty and fidelity Of their amin
istration are little less important than
the laws themselves. There can be
no administration WithoutJudges dis
linguished for LEARNING, purity and
justice, and lawyers proud of their
profession and sustained by an ele-
waited sense of lis public relations
and duties. Pride of profession is.
like patriotism, an inspiration to high
effort and noble motives. When CT
items cease to love and be proud of
their country, the period of heroes and
noble achievements is no more, and
national decline has set in. It is none
! the less true that when lawyers have
ceased to be proud of and to love
their profession, when great Judges
become more and more infrequent,
when crafty attorneys and vulgar pet
tifogging disgrace he courts, and
lawyers Of inferior ttainments and
low sense of ohici futy dishOnor
the Bench, general distrust of admin
istratiqaOf justice fills the public
mind, life is felt to be unsafe, and the
value Of all property steadily falls.

Two things require labor for tHsAEs

dividual prosperity. Congress takes
care OF the former for US of Southern
ATTITUDES, but the prosperity of our
people is a subject about which the
political economists at Washington
trouble themselves but little. The
question with us now is how to re-
store healthy vitality to the South.
Clearly it is in developing her latent
wealth. The brightest of heavens
shines down on our broad acres,
which smile with harvest when tick

system in which we were so thorough
ly schooled before the war. the South
led the world in her staples. Our
only solicitude was for accommodate
