THE CONVENTIONAL INTEREST
LAW
How the Bnl 10 Repeal IL raiI,c

How the BiII 10 Repeal IL Failed.
Our delayed letter from Nashville
gives the following account of the fail
ure of the bin to repeal the ten per cent.
interest law: ........s ....,......
The sensation Of the week, speak
ing legislatively," WAS in connection
with that bone of "ontention--the bill
repeating the conventional interest
law. The House bill passed third
reading in the House, under a call for
the previous question, and was rushed
into the Senate, where the opponents
OF this suicidal measure secured its re-
lection on first reading 10y a email IN a.
Jority. Then, in order TO fix 1t and
secure Its burial beyond the possibility
OF a rejection by this Legislature.
Haynes immediately moved reconsid-
Grafton of the vote by which it was re-
Jected, whereupon Overton moved to
lay Haynes motion on the table. Had
the motion to table been agreed to, the
bill could not have been called up by
any known principle of parliamentary
law, but unfortunately tile friends of
the measure had received reinforce
ments In the meantime, and the mos
tlon to table was lost, 80 that the pres
ent status of the House bill is rejec-
ton with a motion to reconsider,
pending. ...I......
The Senate bill on the same subject
was fully discussed in the Senate to-
day, having been made special order
for ii O'Clock. Speeches in its favor
were made by Senators Hodges, Logan,
Moseley and Alden, while Senators
Ragland, Buchanan and Wade opposed
the measure, the latter making very
able speech. ........t 80 ..
The discussion was prolonged until
p. NJ, the friends of the bill making
several Intellectual attempts to secure
an adjournment until A. NJ. Monday,
in order to have Senator Jones present,
when vote was reached, as it was
known that he would vote for it,
These efforts were all check mated by
the opposition, who were we'll organ
lied, and knew their strengthen
rather thought they did-tho6gh the
result proved they had over-estimated
1t. When vote was FINELY reached
1t stood II against IL, Marchbanks,
who had been counted upon by the
opposition, having changed from the
negative to the affirmative before the
result was announced. The friends of
the bill were so confident OF its reiec-
ton by this vote that Blizzard, one of
their number, voted in the negative,
in order to be in position to move re-
consideration. just as the Chair an
nounced the result, that the bill had
failed for want of a constitutional ma
jority Blizzard asked permission to
change his vote, but was ruled out of
order. If he had voted in the affi rma-
tive, the bill would have passed, but
as it is, he will move reconsideration,
and the bill doubtless pass Monday,
in which case it will certainly become
the law. r..

GEORGIA w. THE WING.

In 1860. BRowNLow's KNOXVILLE
WING, weekly newspaper, had the
largest circulation Of any political pa.
per in Tennessee. About one thou.
sand weekly papers went to the State
Of Georgia, and were circulated in
the usual way. Georgia was 50 pa.
triotic, so intent upon serving the in.
terests Of the country, that the officers
Of the law found it necessary to in.
dict the editor, and publisher of the
Wing, and actually found true bill
against him for high crimes and mis-
demeanors. They actually passed a
law Furnishing all postmasters with
fine and Imprisonment for handing
out the paper to lawful subscribers,
thus coming in conflict with the law
of the Federal Government. The
plea of State sovereignty, which they
are so much attached to now, and are
50 fearful that Grant will overthrow,
they do not now harp upon.
The paper we now send into Geor.
gia, is the KNOXVILLE Vine AND
CHRONICLE, and we presume they will
let it go scot free" At all events.
if they are determined to keep the
paper out Of the State, they ought to
convene an extra session of the Leg
islature, and frame q new law to coy
er the case.
We say to them, in no spirit Of
Boosting, that subscribers are coming
in upon us from the Empire State of
the South and we expect, ere long,
to have a fine list from that State.
The cry of Estate sovereignty"
which deceived the honest people of
that State, will fail to cheat them a
second time. We have no wish to
deceive any man in Georgia who de-
sires to become a subscriber TO this
paper, and, therefore, we state dis
tinctly, that our principles shall be
the same that they were in 1860, only
more so. We are still the advocate
of a strong central government, such
as we have under Grants administra-
ton. 1t works well in Arkansas and
Louisiana.

HON. HORACE MAYNARD.

The nomination of Hon. Horace
Maynard, as Minister to CONSTANT.
nople, will be universally endorsed by
his friends in this State, and out of
it. 1t is an appointment, the fitness
Of which can not be disputed even by
his political enemies. There have been
very few men in public life, who, in
point of education, culture and integ-
rity, have equalled Mr.. Maynard, and
still fewer who have excelled him. In
his sixteen years Of continuous ser
vice in Congress, no man can point
to single corrupt act. He will faith
fully represent his Government at
COnstantinople, and will give salts
faction at all times.

bill would have passed, Everybody
supposed it was n law. 1t had in eff.
feet been passed by Congress. The
bill was engrossed and signed by
Speaker Blaine and Vice-Presdent
Wilson, and was before the President
for approval when the situation was
discovered. The Attorney. General
advised the President that the bill
had not passed Congress, and was
not legally before him for his approx.
al. This is the way the soldiers
lost their bounty bill. 1t is one of
those mistakes that often happen in
the last hours of Congress in the
haste of closing the work of ses.
sion.
Knoxville Whig and chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1875-1882, 1875-03-10

The following is the closing address
of Speaker Blaine upon the adjourn
ment of the Add Congress, as we find
it in the Washington Chronicle:
GENTLEMEN close with this hour
q six years service as Speaker of the
House of representative period
surpassed in length but by but two of
my predecessors, and equaled by only
two others. The rapid mutations of
personal and political fortune in this
country have limited the great maior-
ity of those who have occupied this
chair to shorter terms of Office.
1t would be the gravest insensibilty
to the honors and responsibilities of
life not to be deeply touched by so sig
nal mark of public esteem as that
which l have thrice received at the
hands of my political associates. |
desire in this last moment to renew
to them, one and all, my thanks and
my gratitude.
TO those from whom l differ in nv
party relationships minority of this
House, tender my acknowledgements
for the generous courtesy with which
they have treated me. BY one of those
sudden and decisive changes which
distinguish popular institutions, and
which conspiculously mark free PEG
pie, that minority is transformed in
the ensuing Congress to the governing
power of the House. However il
might possibly have been under other
circumstances, that event necessarily
renders these words my farewell to the
chair.
The speakership of the American
House of Representatives is a post OF
honor, of dignity, of power, of respon-
sibility. It's duties are at once complex
and continuous they are both onerous
aud delicate; they are performed in
the broad light of day, under the eye
of the whole people, subject at all times
to the closest observation, and always
attended with the sharpest criticism.
/ think no other official is held to such
instant and such rigid accountability.
Parliamentary rulings in their very
nature are peremptory, almost absolute
in authority and instantaneous in eff
feet. They can not always be enforced
in such way as to win applause or
secure popularity; but | am sure that
no man of any party who is worthy to
fill this chair will ever see a dividing
line between duty and policy.
Thanking you once more, and thank
ing you most cordially, for the honor
able testimonial you have placed on
record to my credit, perform my only
remaining duty in declaring that the
Forty third Congress has reached its
constitutional limit, and that the
House of Representatives stands adj
jOurned without day.
With his last word the hammer fell,
and Speaker Blaine left the chair, and
took seat at the Clerks desk.
Then followed "A scene never before
witnessed in the hall of the House of
Representatives. All over the floor
and in the space in front of the seats,
which We're densely packed as well as
the galleries, there was the widest en-
thusiasm with waving of handker-
chiefs by the ladies and clapping of
hands by everybody, the two sides
seeming to vie with each other as to
which should be the heartiest in its APP
plause.
And thus ended the second session
Of the Forty-third Congress.

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS.
A Bevy of soIOns Advised not to Fight
Editors.

Our delayed Nashville letter of Feb
ruary 9th, says:
A little breeze was stirred up by the
introduction of a memorial, in which
Messrs. Jamison, Odell, Noblitt, Har-
Kiss, Morgan, Newman, Shackle-
ford, Walker and Spears entered their
solemn protest against being sneered
at by the Nashville Union and An1ey'-
lean, or any other man, in the fol-
lowing words and figures, to-wit:
" Mr.. Speaker: We, the under
signed, a few of the supporters of the
bill to be entitled an act to redeem
the bonded Indebtedness of the State
beg leave to enter this our solemn pro-
test against the appended article,
which appeared in the Union and
american of Feb. %, and request that
the same be spread upon the journals
of this House.
Il Said paper had then published
none of the discussions on said bill
which have taken place in this House,
setting forth the utility, the practical
bility, the constitutionqlity, and the
necessity for said measure. Neither
has said paper ever published the bill
referred to, nor any part of it, and
therefore we consider its criticisms and
comments unfair, unjust, and intended
to prejudice and mislead the public.
They seem to forget the time has come
when, concerning our finances, reason
and not 'bosh' sways the minds of
the people of this State.
~, In our opinion a portion of said
article is an indirect insult Haunted in
the faces of certain Democratic mem
6ers of this Legislature who don't
deem it right to look through the eye
glasses of the Union and american on
all questions of State policy. Said in
suit is expressed in language unbecom-
ing Democratic newspaper, especially
one that presumes to be the Democratic
mouth~piece for this State"
This protest the signers thereof de-
sired to have spread upon the minutes
of the House, together with the edi-
torial referred to, which was more
than column in length, but were
finally induced to withdraw that re-
quest after considerable argument, in
the course of which Ledgerwood re-
marked that the better way was to
avoid stirring up newspapers, as Pdi-
tors generally said what they pleased,
and were always in position to have
the last word. And he was right
Knoxville Whig and chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1875-1882, 1875-03-10

The Washington Chronicle of Fri
day says: Ex~President and Senator
Andrew Johnson, ofTennessee, arriy-
ed here yesterday afternoon at 1880
O'Clock, and was Immediately driven
to his lodgings at the Imperial Hotel,
where ne was assigned to rooms on the
second floor, known as the saloon par
Tors. He had numerous callers during
the day, comprising old District
friends and men on news intent, to
the latter class of whom, however, he
was sublimely reticent, and said that
he had no policy to be foreshadowed.
What he had done was well known,
and had since been approved by the
whole country, and for that reason he
was here now a Senator from Tonnes
see.
The New York Sun says: The
Democrats of New Hampshire have
vainly tried to get Andy Johnson to
come up there and stump the State.
He won't do it because he doesn't be-
lieve their Democracy is orthodox.
Why don't they try Gov. Bill Allen of
Ohio? He could speak from the State
House steps and be heard in every vail
ley and hillside from Northumberland
TO Hinsdale, and from Hanover to Rye
Beach.

HOW THE BOUNTY BILL WAS
LOST.

The soldiers bounty bill failed to
become a law through a slight misun-
derstanding on the part of the gem
tlemen who had charge of the bill. 1t
is another illustration Of what serious
changes trifles sometimes affect. The
bill passed the House by very de-
cided vote, nearly four to one. 1t
then went to the Senate, where two
important amendments were added.
one Of which was to borrow money to
meet the new claims provided by the
bill. In this shape it passed the Sen.
ate, by aid Of the casting vote OF
Vice President Wilson. 1t was then
sent TO the House, that the Senate
amendments might be concurred in
The House, believing one of the
amendments unjust 20 the soldiers oil
many Of the States, refused to concur
in the action Of the Senate, and called
for Committee Of Conference. The
committee met, and very promptly
agreed that the Senate amendment.
should prevail, as that was the only
shape in which the bill could pass
that body. The report of the com
mittee was presented to the House
and adopted.
Senator Logan, who had charge o.
the bill in the Senate, when the Con
ference Committees report was pre-
scented, had been misinformed as Il
the action Of the House, and stated
that it had reccdcd from its refusa
to concur in the Senate amendments
Upon this information he considered
any action Of the Senate upon tho
| Conference Committees report unim
lportant, or he might have succeeded
in securing its being adopted. As II
was, the Senate tabled the report by
vote Of 30 to p. Had the House
which was almost unanimous for the
bill, instead Of adopting the Confer
euce Committees report, simply re.
coded from its former action, as Gen
Logan understood it had done, tic
