sued. A bill was. introduced into
ire Senate, to repeal that section
OF the Code, and was debated and. voted
down, and on the passage Of the appropria-
ton bill, was offered as an amendment to
said bill ane adopted: BE deems this mode
of repeating law dangerous precedent,
if the same may be done. BE also deems
It unconstitutional, and therefore protests.
"JoHN rRIMBLE." 81
81 heartily concur In the above protest.
Ea HJoHN w. SMITH" 81
Complainanss state the Constitution Of
Tennessee requires that each bill shall be
read once on three different days, and be
passed each time in the House in which 1t
originated, before transmission to the ether.
That the Journals of the Senate and House
show afirmativeIy that the section OF the
appropriation bill which purports to re-
peal section 2,S07 of the Code, was In fact
read and passed but once in the Senate and
but once in the House. That this sec
ton Of the appropriation bill attempts
to repeal a general provision OF the statute
law; has no connection with, nor relation
to, a bill which provides for the payment of
the temporary, current expenses OF the
State government. Those provisions are
not german, and no one voting for one
would have his mind brought OF necessity
to the consideration of the other. They
are distinct and independent propositions,
and rests upon wholly different grounds of
public policy. A bill TO repeal the law au-
thorizing the State TO be sued, can not be
regarded, in any proper legal sense, as |
made to amend, perfect and complete a |
bill the object Of which is to provide for |
the necessary appropriation for the current, |
annual public service.
Complainants further state that the Sem |
ate journal shows bill was introduced In
the Senate, at its early session of 1865, |
prior 10 the introduction of said Appropria-
ton Bill, to repeal said section 2,807 of the |
Code, but was debated and voted |
down. Afterwards, at the same ses-
sion, on the passage Of the Appropriation
bill, an amendment repeating said section
!, S07, was offered and adopted. Complain
ants state the Constitution of Tennessee
provides, ''after bill has been rejected, no /
bill containing the same substance, shall be
passed into law during the same session."
Complainants therefore urge and insist that
said section of the appropriations Is -ancon-
stitutional, and does not repeal or affect the
validity Of section 2,807 of the Code author
zing actions against the State, and that
hese complainants have the right, under
aid section 2,807 of the Code, TO institute
heir original and cross bill against the State
If Tennessee, ,.-r.---. r-s.--.- es
We have given only the substance of the
ross bill. As the case now stands in the
;hancery Court, every question is before
be court, and the rights Of all parties can
De settled in one decree. A special term of
he court will convene on the third Monday
D September to try the case. s

MY LAMBS HOLIDAY,
BY CORNIE WILLIAMS LAWS,


The gray clouds come and weep and 20
Pallng the scenes of the world below;
And all the fields are crowned in mist
The fields that the dawning sunlight kissed
What shall tell you, my little one,
On whose sweet face the early sun
Crept with glorious, golden glow,
as pressed her lips, one hour ago?
How shall tell my sleeping one,
~ drowning fields and shrOuded sun?
The fields she thought to tread to-day,
The sun she thought to shine Away.
The gray clouds come and weep and stay,
ana darker, sadder, grows the day,
And Yer the bills where forests wane.
There sounds the march of coming rain.
What shall tell my dreaming lamb.
In her soft white gown, and palm to palm?
How can tell her of dismal rains,
And rivers that choke the flowery lanes?
The lanes she dreamed of all night long.
AS filled with bloom and summer song.
All me, the clouds may stay or 90,
My lamb is dumb to all below:
She will not know it rains this wav
When up in the light of Gods sweet day.
She will not know the bloom-flIled lanes
Are lying dim in drifting rains,
She will not know, my Weakened one,
Of drowning fields and shronded sun,
And this Is thy holiday, lamb sweet lamb
In thy slnless robes with palm to palm.

PUBLIC GOOD.
THE LITTLE WORD AND ITS GREAT
RESULTS.

A traveller DER dusty road,
strewed acOrns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree
Love sought its shade at eventide,
To breathe its early VOWS,
And age was pleased at heat of noon,
To rest beneath its boughs-
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music pour;
1t stood glory in its place
A blessing ever more.
A little spring had lost its way,
Amid the grass and fern;
\ passing stranger scooped we'll,
Where weary men might turn
He walled it in, and hung with care,
A ladle at the brink
He thought not OF the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
he passed again, and 10 the well
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parchiDg tongues
And saved life beside.
A dreamer dreamed a random thought,
Twas old, and yet twas new;
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong in being true.
1t fell upon genial mind,
And 10 the thought became
A lamp OF light, beacon ray,
A safely guiding flame.
The thought was small, its issue great:
A watch-fire on the hill,
1t sends its radiance far adown,
And cheers the valley still.
A nameless man amid the crowd,
That thronged the busy mart
Let fall the words of hope and love,
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
NOught but passing breath
II raised brother from the dust,
gem; fount; y words of love-
y thought at random cast,
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.

ONLY.
BY JAMES P. sTEARNs.

y
Only poisonous drop from the cup,
But il gave thirst for more,
And awoke a craving that wrecked life
On barren desert shore.
Twas only a glance, but a scornful glance,
And il famed dreadful flame.
1t was only kind, beseeching look,
But 1t won q heart from shame.
1t was only dying mothers kiss
On a fair, pale, girlish face,
But always the thought of that sacred touch
Drew her from evil apace.
twas only a draHght from limpid stream,
But il saved the hunters life.
Twas only the husbands familiar step,
Yet it chered the gloomy wife.
1t was only smile, a pleading smile,
But it reached a hardened heart,
And reused desire and earnest Will
To perform a nobler part.
II was only tear, one pcaTly tear,
That stood on the maiden's cheek,
Yet it spoke a sweeteT good-by than words
Have ever essayed to speak.
1t was only word, one single word,
But sweet as the summers breath,
And it touched the spring Of thoughtless mind
And rescued a soul from death.

THINGS YOU NEED NOT EXPECT.

Ever to have new servant that does not
think your house "the hardest place she
ever lived in" Ever to have a mechanic
hnisha job on the day promised. Ever to
get discount on your bill for gasight.
Ever to see tragedian who will not point
out how little his rivals know of the play.
Ever to nod newspaper reporter who has
not this stock Of phrases; "devouring ele-
ment," Launched into eternity" Gall
went merry as marriage bell," ''the hap

son at fashionable watering places. That
a large class won't consider It NJ sin to steal
umbrellas and repudiste newspaper bills.
Ever to find an old theater-goer that win
not lament ''the decline of the drama"
Or an old merchant that will not condemn
"the style of doing business in this fast

0roanize for Victory,

1fass.meetincs and speeches are very well
IN thor WAY 50 arc campaign documents ana
the newspaper press; SO are rroccSSlof-'
torch.lights fireworks, flags, and music; hn'
after all the main reliance of great pol'U'
cal party must be upon organization II il
would command success. Asa general RUE
the marty that is most inteiliccIiiy ana lho-
roughly organized wins the election, anu
even when there is n great popular uprising
in behalf of q candidate the victory Witi'lh
our very hand may tall from our grasp be-
cause of a lack Of organization.
The Radicals thoroughly realize these pa
fen, facts, and while the Liberal Republicans
and Democrats were all on fire with enthu'
siasm and shouting themselves hoarsc for
GREELEY and BRowS in July, August, ana
September, the Administration. dcspoudcnt
but still in possession Of its wits, calmly laid
down plan for the campaign and proceeded
to carry il into execution. The result Is M
orsaniza:ion-national State, county. ana
township-whch will make the task oil beat
ing GRANT much more difficult.
Now. however, the Liberal hosts are being
managed with a skill which shows that we
are learning from our enemies. Our candi-
dates UNNECESSARILY distance theirs III quail
fjcations for the high Offices at stake we can
put good and popular cause against their
money; but their organization must be coun'
teracted BY the same instrumcntallty, II pos
sible improved. This has been done in OHIO
and Pennsylvania, and if those States on
next Tuesday give verdict for rcconciilt-
ton and reform it will be due rs much TO Or
ganization as to anything else except the JUS
tice Of the cause.
But this matter needs attention in Nir
GINA. The Conservative State Central Com
mittee and its young and active auxiliary
the Greeley and Brown Clubs Central Com
mttee, have prepared Il plan of organization
which has been widely distributed. anr
which has been the basis of the formation o.
many campaign clubs. But there are many
townships and not few counties yet II
which there ar6ssU such organized Conser
vative bodies. This must lie 50 10 longer
The time is short and the necessity Is great
Let us have one OF more Greeley and Brown
clubs In every ward and township; let meet
ings be held under their auspices; let all thu
voters be enrolled and made to promise K
vote }; and when the day Of election come
let the clubs through their vigilance commit
tees see that every man who claims the titl'
OF Conservative, Democrat, or Liberal Re
publican, helps by his ballot to swell thu
majority for Greeley and Brown, aDd to III
sure the election OF full Conservative dele
cation in Congress.

Tue MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA BOuNpAl

Tue MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA BOUNDARY
C0MNlssIoN.-The Boundary Commission
continued their session yesterday, meeting a,
10 4. NJ. and adjourning at =. NJ. All the
members except Mr.Watts. of Virginia. were
present. No results were arrived at, but the
claims Of each State to the boundaries were
to some extent, though not formally, pre-
sented and discussed. There is evidently a
wide difference between the two sides, and
each is confident that its claim is lust and the
lines contended for are the true ones. The
argument on the Virginia side goes back to
Queen Elizabeth's grant to Sir Walter RAJ
leigh In 1885. The Maryland commissioners,
however, meet this by the argument that the
Court Of Kings Bench in 1924 declared this
as well as the Fairfax grant, on which the
Virginia commissioners also base their claim,
void SO far as they went to claim the north.
ern low-watcr mark of the Potomac as their
bounds, and the Maryland commissioners
claim that the southern low-water mark Of
the Potomac is the true line, us is proved by
the grant to Lord Baltimore.
As TO the Eastern Shore boundary, the
Calvert line Of 1868 is agreed by both sides
TO be tho true line, but there is Il difference
as to what that line is to the extent OF TWEEN
tv-three square miles of territory now and
for over two hundred years past, they say,
included in that part Of Maryland known rs
Worcester county. The labors Of the men,
bers of tie commission on both sides have
been very onerous, with such u mass Of docu-
mentary and other testimony to examine and
compare. After their labors are concluded,
should they agree as to the Potomac line aud
