half, to determine and report to Congress
upon the claims of such citizens of the
States not declared in insurrection, as re-
manned loyal during the war, for compen-
satlon for private property located In such
States not declared in instruction, and for
the payment of which no proposition is
now made, for property which was taken
during the rebellion by competent author
ity of the Government of the United
States for public use, within the meaning
of the Fifth Article of Amendment of the
Constitution of the United States.
Section provides that for the purposes
of the act, and in determining the jurisdic-
ton hereby conferred in the Fifth Amend
ment OF the Constitution, shall be deemed
to require just compensation for private
property, whether real or personal. taken
In time of war for military purposes,
wherever the same shall have been taken
by the Government under and byvirtue of
its right of eminent domain. It also pro-
vides that, in cases where such property
was taken for destruction, to prevent its
falling into the hands of the enemy, the
damage shall be the value of the property
in its exposed condition. The important
feature is added that hereafter all such
claims shall be forever barred unless pre-
scented to the Court of Claims within two
years, the Court to report to Congress; and
its action is, therefore, not final.

IT has been intimated to us from relia-
BILE source, that number of bourbons in
the present Tennessee Legislature, will
throw every possible obstacle in the way
of an act to re-district the State. They
will not openly oppose such a measure,
knowing that such opposition would bring
everlasting odium upon them, but will use
all the tactics known to intriguing politi-
clans for the purpose of accomplishing
their ends. We may possibly be mistaken
as to the existence of such purpose-we
trust we are-but if that is their intention,
the wide awake, progressive, liberal ele-
ment in that body should see to it, that
their partisan tricks are thwarted. Let
the miserable little creatures understand
that the day is past for such cattle to
flourish in Tennessee.

AGITATING REFORM.

We find that sentiment prevails TO q
considerable extent in favor of Consti-
tutional Convention in this State, to be
held at an early day. Those who advo-
cate holding Convention, mention two
leading objects they have in view. They
say there are restrictions thrown around
capital which should be removed, and that
reform in our Judiciary system is de-
handed. In the Western division of the
State, and especially Memphis, this Ju-
dicial reform seems to be earnestly de-
manded. We have no doubt there is am
pie cause for the people of
Memphis to manifest an interest
in this matter. They have Criminal Court
there, which we are credibly informed,
costs the State upwards of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars per annum. We
have also been informed that bills of costs
largely in excess of that amount have been
presented, Certified by judicial officials),
to the State authorities for payment. With
such an enormous expense as that, incur.
red by single court, it is no wonder that
those who are cognizant of the facts, favor
judicial reform.
In addition to this eXtravagant Criminal
Court, that city has two Circuit and two
Chancery Courts.
The great trouble in the way of a Con-
stitutional Convention is, that such bodies
generally do too much. Our present Con
stitution could undoubtedly be improved
in many respects, but we fear there is
danger of doing too much. The question
might be, whether or not it is better
to bear the ills we have than fly
to others we know not Of.
In the single item, bills of costs),
which we have alluded to above, a very
large proportion of the public revenue is
squandered and lost, but whether a consti-
tutional convention is required to provide
a remedy in the question.
In connection with this we present an
extract from the Memphis appeal which
GEMS to be the idea that journal entertains
on the question of reform in our State
government:
Give US three Magistrates in each county
instead of an army of Magistrates to shape
local laws; make jury trials In civil cases
elective by litigants at their cost; absolve
courts from the necessity for resort to
juries in misdemeanor cases. and have
property Justly and universally assessed
and taxed, and then when matters of i'm
perative financial necessity are disposed of,
The Legislature should adjourn. It is a
costly body, and it's duties are so plain
and sharply defined that a protracted SEES
sion will be pronounced insufferable.

The Memphis avalanche intimates that
there are School Book rings" Private

success of free School bill before the

which they cannot take advantage fol
their own selfish interests. This is day
of rings" They are to be found in every
department of life. 1t is hard though, If a
measure SO fraught with veal or woe to
to this State, is to be held IN jeopardy by

of far greater Importance than the general
