World saws:


In the Presidential election of 1872. The
World says:
"tn 1870 Federal census was taken of
tne states, and in the same year, or early in
1911, Congressional elections were held
Lnereln. Every ten years census and a
CNngress thus come together, and COM
parlson 1.-THE populs ion shown and the
votes cast is always Valuable. In the case
OF the figures of last year this comparison is
particularly important. Great questions ag-
ltate the public mind, and it is a matter Of
very great concern to learn in what proper
lions the population Of the United States is
politically divided. This information we
can obtain by going forthwith into the
figures. By the census Of 1870 the pop-
ulation of the thirty-seven States is
given as 3S,113,253. At the well
established ratio of one voter to
every six inhabitants this gives
us 6,352, 20S voters. In the Congressional
elections of 1S70-71 the total vote cast is
5,535,582, showing that Is per cent ofthose
entitled TO vote failed to exercise their fran
chise. Before proceeding further let us
give the vote cast in detail, adding the cleo
! toral vote and party majority in each State.
SubjOined is such table, all the returns
being official, except for North Carolina and
Texas, in neither of which have the an-
thorities published the figures. For North
Carolina the vote for State officerS-that
election being held on the same day as that
for Congressman-iS taken; and in the case
of Texas the vote given is based upon
semi-oficial statement. Otherwise than in
these two cases the returns are, as men
toned, entirely official. The vote stands:

A nan LEGTsLATTyE pRxcrYor.


II has been the custom ever since the or
ganization of the State of Tennessee, for the
Legislature to direct the payment of money
by resolution. After the resolution has
been adopted, it has been the practice to
put the amount ordered to be paid into the
general appropriation bill. The constitu-
ton declares no money shall be paid out of
the State Treasury, except it be directed by
law. Early in the present session of the
Legislature, the member from Lincoln, Mr..
Tillman, argued and protested against the
practice above alluded to, insisting that the
Legislature ought not to commit itself by
resolution to proposition which ought to
be passed upon in the shape of bill, to be
read on three different days in both houses.
Mr.. Tillman also insisted, that, as the
Constitution declares no bill shall contain
more than one subject, the Appropriation bill
ought not to provide for the payment of
any claim which does not pertain to the
expenses of the General Assembly. Other
members held the same view of the subject
above mentioned, but their views were not
sustained.
We intend no reflection upon the present
Legislature, but we think Mr.. TiIlman and
other members are correct in the conclusion
that no money should be paid out of the
State Treasury, except by lao, and that the
Appropriation Bill should contain nothing
which does not pertain to the expenses of
the General Assembly.

at viii be here seen, first, that the Re
publican majority in the elections for the
FOTty-second Congress is but Al ,172 in a
total vote of 8, 595, $50; and, second, that the
electoral vote of the States giving Demo
cratic majorities in said elections is major
ity of the entire electoral vote of the Unit
ed States. 1t may strike the reader as
strange that party in the minority on the
popular vOte-no matter by how small a
minority-should yet have a majority on
the electoral vote; but it is equally strange
that 2,147,205 Democrats should have but
107 members in the House,
when 2,7SS,S77 Republicans have
l35-the poular majority being
but 41,172 and the representative ma
jority 2S-but these are the anomalies of
our electoral system and prove nothing
against the accuracy of our figures. An ar
gument of more apparent strength is to be
found in the statement that the elections to
the Forty second Congress occurred in an
''of year" We are happy to have such an
argument advanced, as its refutatiOn brings
with it demonstration that the ''dead De-
mocraey" is really the majority party Of the
United States.

failing to vote in an off year let US com

THE PENITENTIARY.

Gov. Brown yesterday appointed Gen.
Joel A. Battle Superintendent of the Peni-
Tertiary, and Messrs. Daniel f. Carter,
Archer Cheatham and Green SaWyers, In
spectors. Gen. Battle is one Of the most
widely known and highly esteemed citizens
of the State. His appointment will be heard
with qualification by his hosts of friends in
East, Middle and West Tennessee. That
he will be an efficient guardian of the inter
ests of the State, none who know him will
doubt.
The selection for Inspectors We regard as
most fortunate. No men in our communi-
ty stand higher than Messrs. Carter, Cheat
ham and Sawyers. They are successful,
practical business men of energy and integ-
rity. The appointments were promptly
confirmed by the Senate, and receive the
approval of our people.

SOME queer things are occasionally de-
velopei in Washington. Recently it trans
pired that Judge in one of the Territories,
whose resignation had been accepted and
his successor appointed by Grant, had not
resigned. Some fellow had forged a resig-
nation and sent it to Washington, and on
that he lost his Office The Washington
correspondent of the Louisville Ledger
writes as follows of another singular case:
"A nice question is moOted in connection
with ex-senator Warmers appointment as
Collector Of Customs az Mobile. The nom
inatiOn sent to the Senate was "Willard
Warner, to be Collector of Customs at No
bile, Uice William Miller. resigned It
turns out that Mr.. Miller never resigned,
but gave the office up, SuppOSing he was
suspended under the tenure-of-oiiice act.
IL this is the case, Mr.. Warmers occupation
of the Office is illegal. 1t is stated that the
little job originated with somebody in the
Treasury Department, who thought it a
clever thing 10 make Miller resign ,7ithOut
his resignation hang been rendered"

ALEkFFRaaJ HISTORY.

The Grant Radicals went into SPANS oi
enthusiasm few weeks ago over the result
Of the fall elections, asserting that they had
settled the coming election in their favor
Immediately thereafter was born what IS
known as the "PaSsive Policy or ePos.
sum Tactics" The Portsmouth q. H
Patriot does not agree with these faint
hearted recruits in regard to the strength o.
The Democratic party. ave see no good
reason says that paper, "why, in the pres
ent exigency, as happens constantly, the
minority may not become the majority-why
party which numbered almost half of the
voters Of the land, in the last Presidential
election, should not receive accessions sufiici-
ent TO enable 1t to control the country. No
one questions that a large majority Of the
voters Of the Union are at heart opposed TO
the reelection Of Grant, and it will be dis
crediiable to+his large majority if they do
not unite to effect his defeat. To secure
this union we do not believe it to be neces-
sary to disband the Democratic party-fOr
that would be the effect Of the passive poll
cy.'o It is quite certain that the careful
student of political history viii not accept
the predictions of these sanguine Radicals,
based as they are, upon vote which fluc-
tuates like the tides of the sea. In support
of this position, these facts are cited by a
cotemporary:
ain 1899 the Democracy were successful
at the polls, but in 1910 the Wings succeed
ed in making Harrison Chief Magistrate Of
his country by triumphant majority.
''In 1913 the Democracy were defeated,
but in 1914 they elected Polk.
''In 1917 the Democracy were victorious,
but in ls4S the Wings elected Taylor.
ain 1851 the Wings were successful, but
in 1852 the Democracy elected Pierce.
''In 1855 the Republican party swept the
country, but in 1856 they were defeated,
and Buchanan was installed in the Presi-
dental chair"
Immediately preceding and since the war,
the politics of the couptry have been so I'M
settled as to furnish no criterion by which
to judge the future by the past.
But in this respect matters have the
appearance Of becoming more settled,
and those who were carried away by Grants
military prestige and his cry OF ''let us have
peace" arc ready to take up some man who
is competent to administer the government
on heightened principles and in the interest
of the whole people. This is indicated by
thefact that the Democratic vote increased
every year since the Presidential election OF
1865. The New York World of the 18th
inst. contains some tables compiled from
authentic sources, which show that the
Democratic party is not only not dead, as
The enthusiastic Grant Radicals proclaimed
: few weeks ago, but that there is every
sicbsbility that iSwill come out first best

THE LEGISLATURES.

At the appointed hour yesterday, the
General Assembly adjourned, after appro-
pirate speeches from the respective Speakers
of the tive Houses. The members have
left for their homes, where, we hope, they
will meet gratifed constituencies. Their
labors have been arduous and to some ex-
tent novel, as this was the first Legislature
elected under our new Constitution. The
great majority of them were totally mex
perienced in legislation, but they went to
work with a viii, and whatever criticism
may be passed upon this or that act OF
theirs, no one can doubt their sincerity, so
briefly and industry. We heartily wish
them long life and prosperity.
