A colored member of the Texas

a roll of greenbacks in his hand,
over which he chuckled so loudly
as to attract the attention of a by
stander. "What are you laughing

&C. The Memphis Aralanche

% The Memphis Ardlanche
of the 18th pays our Representa-
tive, Col. ]. D. TILLMAN, high
compliment. 1t publishes his re-
marks on railroad charters, consol-
idations, ETC., and thinks cit is not
only an argument in favor of the
constitutionality of the act, but
as strong an argument for
a new COZ .tition, which will not
create so many difficulties against
practical legislation"

s1- Last Saturday Gov, Brown
sent message to the Legislature,
announcing that the Inspectors of
the penitentiary have made a Gen.
tract with Thomas O'Conner, of
Knoxville, and Robert F. Looney,
of Memphis, leasing them the
building, fixed machinery and
convict labor for the term Of five
years, at $4,000 per annum, pay
able quarterly. The Governor
does not believe the State can
work convict labor with profit,
and hopes the contract will be ap.
proved.

The Railroad Fees.

We lnd the following sarcasm
ia the Legislative proceedings,
with rlfeience TO the money paid
counsel for the State in the differ
ont railroad cases. The resolution
was offered 10y MIR. Gordon:
Whereas, Alter the payment to
the hon. w. Ii. Wisencr OF the sum
tf 81 500 10y the State for legal
services rendered by him in the
famous franchise case, she has a
few bonds left; and, whereas, this
General Assembly has learned
with feelings Of profound satisiac-
sion the Chancery Court of Nash
willie has appropriated bonds of
The Safe heretofore attached by
said Court to the Hons. +. II. Ew-
ing, w. F. Cooper and w. B.
Reese, attorneys at law Tor the
State in the causes against tie
delinquent railroads, amounting in
tie aggregate to about $4,000;
therefore, be it
Itesolced by The General Assem-
bly, Of the Stote Of Tennessee, That
special committee be appointed
by the respective Speakers 10 wait
on the said attorneys and satisfy
them that, if the sum does not full
ly compensate them for the SER
vice rendered, that if they (the
attorneys will only wait until the
State Can get more bonds, either
from the sale Of delinquent rail-
roads or otherwise, that a special
donation OF the bonds SO secured
will be made as fast as secured.
The resolution was taken up,
and on motion was referred to the
Judiciary Committee, with in
structions to report by what au.
ihori:y the money referred to was
paid to the attorneys named.
Subsequently the attorneys sur.
rendered the bonds, because pub
lie opinion denounced their at
tempt at grabbing, and express
themselves willing to leave the
question of compensation to the
Legislature. That body, it seems
to us, has nothing to do with tie
matter. The statute specially
says the fees "shall be fixed by tie
Chancellor holding the court, but
sItdH not ercced the sum OF tsoo Mott.
sqnd dollars" The attorneys knew
the law when they took charge of
the case, and they have no right
now, in morals or law, to pocket
such an extortionate sum. We
would not wrong the attorneys,
while cndeavoring to protect tie
interests of the State. In this
connection we submit a problem
for popular figuring, from the
knoxville Press
II the State Of Tennessee sells
railroads at one-third and one
fourth of what it costs to build
them, and then pays three States
attorneys. seventy-two thousand
dollars in bonds for six months
service i'll protecting its interest,
how are the "interestS" Of the poo
ple protected?
And:
Twenty-lour thousand dollars in
State bonds is fifteen thousand
dollars in currency TO the States
Attorneys. But it is S24 900 to
The people of Tennessee.

LOdEe Obituaries!

Again we must call the atten

plan Of adopting a preamble and
series of resolutions relative to
deceas. d brethren for publlsa-
ton. This practiceis right and
proper where they intend to be
properly engrosscd and framed,
or sent to the family for preserva-
ton; but for the public press, and
especially for Masonic journal,
whose space is limited, even for
matters of general and public
Importance, it is ont of the quest
ion and it ia unreasonable to ex-
ect their publication. Whist is
proper and sensible is this: Pres
pare brief statement of the bro
TIERS birth, initiation, passing,
raising, life and death, and that
the Lodge adopted suitable reso-
lutions, and buried the brother.
Give any other particular and
rhOinted event in his life that will
be of general interest and we
will publish them, but we must
