An Eastern journal recalls an incident OF tho
Twenty -oighth Congress- which furnishes IN
apt example for Congressman Of tho presont
day to follow, in IN action Of Gen. Dix, who WAS
a member Of tho United States Senate at ttat
time An extra session Of tho sennto having
boon cnllod by the rotiriug President, question
arose in regard to constructive mileage. 1t WAS
finally decided TINT, one session having expired
and another having begun, the Senators weEo
entitled to the mileage. Thoroupon, thirty
si1 Senators, olghtoou Democrats under
the lead Of Col. Benton, aud eighteen
Wings under tho lead Of Senator Bor-
ren, Of Gcorgia, entered into ali agEoo-
mont among themselves not to take tho
constructive mileage It would bo we'll for tho
credit OF Congress- Of former daya II tho atory
stopped here. When Gen. Dix oa1no to settlo
his account at tho cud OF tho session, the Ser
geant-at-Arms asked him il he did not wish to
draw hiB mileage. Flo answered that lo had GU
tered into an agreement not to take It. Ho waa
then informed that Col. Benton and all the 9th

the atory goos. "Well, will take it-iuto COIL

NASHVILLE, March 2O.-The Senate
having acted upon nearly all important
measures, and being two or three days
ahead Of the House, was occupied yester-
day in the consideration Of smaller bills
and went through large number.
The bill to establish an Insurance Ba'
reau passed it's third reading. It is
modelled after similar institutions in
other States.
The bill to tax the freight and passen
ger business Of railroads failed for want
Of a constitutional majority.
The bill from the House in relation Il
Jail physicians, which is Of importance
TO Memphis and was leyeled at Memphis
was amended satisfactorily and passed
1t still allows, as amended, the sheriff to
appoint the jail physician, and leaves
the county court untramnelled to fix his
pay. The House concurred In the
amendments last night, and it will speed
lily become Q law.
The bill to dstaoh Island 81 from
Upton and attach it to Laadsrdalei

The Senate concurred in the bill and
amendments from the House providing
that the public printing shall be let to

A bill passed IN its tkird reading

business Of barber on Sunday.
esnator James objected to the Speak
er signing the tipping bill, on the
ground that it had not been passed con
stitutionally, but it seems the Speaker
has no option in the matter.
A bill passed its third reading at a
late hour last night to limit the fees o.
clerks of courts. 1t allews them 5000
and half the fees received in excess o.
that amount but they must pay theil
own clerks.

TRIALS BY JURY.

The laws regulating trials by jury in
Tennessee go far to disqualify the intelli-
gent citizen from setting as a juror, and
20 still farther to qualify the corrupt cit
izen for the same position. This is true
as to criminal cases, yet in civil cases a
reform is also necessary. In England
the difficulties surrounding the system Of
trial by jury are attracting the attention
of English jurists. Attorney General
Sir John Coleridge proposes as a remedy,
in all except capital cases, to do away
with the ancient twelve jurymen, and to
reduce that apostolic number to seven.
OF these seven a majority are te deter
mine the question in issue; and the trial
is to go on even though two Of these
iurors should be absent from sickness.
Certainly this would do away with the
endless disagreements Of iuries, which
now are the cause Of so much vexatior
and expense to suitors. Il would also
greatly diminish the burden Of jury duty
and make il unnecessary 10 summon th'
large panels nov required. By ever
making the agreement Of ten men sahi
