A Sensible View.

The Lebanon Herald, thus terse-
~ puts the Convention question.
in few sentences -
"There are certain clauses con-
tanned in it which, were the op.
portunity afforded US, we should
certainly vote against. We have
no such choice, however, we are
restricted to the alternative of ac-
cepting or rejecting the proposed
Constitution as a whole, and the
only question for each m2n to de-
eide is. is it preferable to the Con-
stitution of 1866 or not? Is a
Constitution which, while it rec
ognizes the right of the negro
to vote, also enfranehises eyery
white man in the State, preiera-
bic to one which DISTINGUISHES the
great body of the white men of
Tennessee, or not? That is the
questlon-and there is no dodp.

Publication of Laws.

We think the Legislature of
Tennessee, when it reassembles in
May, ought to pass a bill requir-
ing the publication of laws Of a
general character in the county
papers of the State. Gesler, the
Swiss tyrant and opponent of the
patriotic William Tell, wrote his
edicts or laws 10 "fine hand" and
put the placards so high on trees
that ihepeople could not read them.
There was no trouble on the part
of his official slaves to arrest the
innocent ones who could not pos
sibly know what arbitrary foolery
the Executive beast had ordered
We believe every journal in the
State should be paid for publishing
the Laws and all other matters per
tanning to general legal obligations
The compensation need not BIZ
heavy. 1t would be money vel
expended. By this means al
laws passed by the Legislature
would be brought to the notice of
all the people of the State, at the
expense OF the entire State
Every man is presumed to kn0s.
the lae0, and this would give every
one the opportunity that makes
such presumption reasonable.

A Strange Meeting of
Two Couples.

The New Orleans Picsyune'
says:
Some years sii,ce a respectable
merchant of this city, then liv-
ing in another State, was divorced
from his wife. He left the place
of his domestic misfortune and
came here. Time cured the sting
of his lacerated affections, he mar
ried again. His divorced wife
married too. This was known to
both, but no communication, by
letter or otherwise, was kept up /;
and so the years went by, and each
was almost forgotten by the other
in the new ties they had formed.
But accident has some queer meet
ings, and fate plays curious tricks.
1t 30 happened that the divorced
wife and her present husband
came to New Orleans some weeks
since, and on Sunday attended
church. Being strangers, they
were shown TO q vacant pew, and
prepared to engage in the service.
But just then the owner of the
pew and his wife came in. It was
large enough for all, and the stran.
gers were requested to remain seat
ed. There was something, how
ever, in the gentleman's appear
ance that attracted the attention OF
the lady visitor, and watching him
closely, their eyes met in mutual
recognition. 1t was the divorced
wife and husband. After the
lapse of years they met in this
strange way. They kept their
counsel, however, and when the
service was over parted as stran.
gers.

Conventional Interest.


The following is the law gov
erning the future use of money
in this State. We publish it for
The benefit Of two classes--bor-
Towers and lenders. 1t will be of
great service to both, and, indi-
rectly, benefit the whole country.
Parties who have money to lend,
will now throw it upon the mar
ket, because they can get about
whal it is worth. Meantime Dor.
rowerS will gladly accept it, and
make it amply secure by mortgage
or good personal security. The
General Assembly acted wisely in
this, as short time will fully de-
monstrate.
The Law takes effect the 1st of
June
An Act to amend the usury laws of the
State, and TO establish . conventional
rate of interest:
SECTION /. Be IL enacted by the
General Assembly Of The State Of
Tennessee, That hereafter it shall
be lawful to contract for any
rate of interest not exceeding ten
per cent. per annum, proUided that
the rate of interest be in writing
and expressed on the face of the
instrument creating the debt Or
obligation, and when judgment or
decree shall be recovered on such
written contract it shall be at the
same rate of interest asIhe written
instrument upon which the judg-
ment or decree is based, and shall
be so expressed in the judgment OIL
decree, and endorsed upon the ex
ucution issued thereon.
SEC. 2. Be at further enacted
That the rate of interest now es
tablished by law shall continue
equal and uniform throughout the
State, as heretofore; and no great
er rate of. interest than six pei
cent. per annum shall be received
upon any contract or obligation
unless agreed on by the parties
and reduced to writing on The
face of the contract or obligation
according to the provisions of The
first section Of this act.
SEC. 5. Be Il further enacted
That if any person or persons
shall violate the provisions of this
act, and shall contract for a great
er rate of interest than ten pei
cent. per annum, as herein pro
yided, it shall be unlawful, and
shall operate as release of the
debtor or debtors from ali interest
in excess of six per cent; and if
the same has been paid, it may be
sued for and recovered by the par
ty paying the same, or bis heirs
personal representatives or credi'
tors.
SEC. 4. Be 1t further enacted
That violation of the first sec.
ton OF this act is declared to be
usury, and, upon indictment and
conviction, the party or parties
shall pay q fine of not less thar
one hundred dollars; and it shall
be the duty of the Circuit ant
Criminal Judges to give this act
in charge to the grand jury al
each term of the court.
