THE STATE LEGISLATURES.

The intensity of interest which has
been excited in Federal politics for
several weeks past has almost with
drawn our attention from State affairs.
The only matter which has engaged
the attention of our Legislators, apart
from repeating the conventional inter-
est law and the dog law, enacted by the
Legislature of 1875 has been the finan-
ces of the State. Under this head re-
trenchment has throughout been the
order of the day. As a general prin-
ciple this has been a most salutary
course to adopt, we fear however, that,
when examined in detail, some oftheir
economical measures will be found of
that sort which cost more than they
come to. The saving in the judiciary
department will, we are satisfied, turn
out to be of this character. The
Jumping together the duties of com
mon law Judge and a chancellor and
then giving the officers SO constituted
a salary of 81 800 a year, is an arrange
ment which renders it certain that the
legal ability which we shall thus place
on the bench will be far below medioc-
rity, and an Unqualified Judiciary is
one of the most expensive pieces of
economy that people ever tried.
What will be the fate of the COM
promise which our Northern bond
holders have offered us we know not,
but the bill interdicting the Governor
from paying as interest on the bonds
any surplus which our retrenchment
may place in his hands is not encour-
aging to our creditors. We do see a
proposal for the issuance of bonds
bearing lower interest than those now
out, and exchanging the new for the
old, but we fear that those who hold
our present paper will look for some
security that, high or low, the interest
on the new paper will be better payed
than it has been on the old-and we
confess We don't see on what any such
security can be grounded.
But Legislators go to the capitol
with their hands tied and we have no
quarrel with them; the remedy we
look for is that the people will learn to
take more enlightened view of their
own interests.

TOO MUCH INSTRUCTION AGAIN.

Mr.. Lowe introduces a resolution
in the House of Representatives at
Nashville instructing our Senators at
Washington to support the Texas and
Pacific railroad bill, if line from
Memphis to Shreveport is made part
of it, but not otherwise.
That is just the way that the great
Southern trunk will be killed off alto
gether. The Southern States instead
of uniting to procure the road will be-
gin squabbling each for its share of
the advantages of it before the bill ia
passed, and against, such a divided
South, the great Northern corporation
which is opposed to a conflicting line
will easily carry its purposes.
Build the great.trunk line first with
out any stipulations, and smaller lines
will be attracted to it just as surely as
surely as our tributary streams Fl nd
their way to the Mississippi and the
Mississippito the sea. Such narrow pro-
yincial Legislation as that is enough to
sicken one with State rights, State leg
islators and all other State institu-
tions.

Federal affairs through the appoint
ment of electors on other than Repub-
lican principles.
A conversation occurred during his
speech between Mr.. G. and Judge
Bradley, which is supposed by some
to indicate different position on the
part of Judge B. from that which he
took in the Florida case.
We print the conversation without
comment; Judge Bradley's intentions
are not very easily inferred from his
words;
Upon the very basis of the bill
creating this tribunal, your decisions
ato to be reported to both houses OF
Congress, and the two houses of Con-
gress may set them aside. There is an
end, then, of saying that this tribunal
is exercising judicial power, or that
whether you decide that the vote shall
be counted for Hayes or Tilden, that
decision precludes the question be-
tween these two. It does not. it can
not, in no possible aspect of the case
can it be maintained that this Tribunal
is anything on earth but legislative
committee of investigation.
AT this point Justice Bradley in
terrupted-'I don't think there is a
difference of opinion on that point. 1t
is the universal theory, so far as | am
informed, that the power Of this Com
mission extend so far and so far only
as the powers of the two houses OF
! Congress.
Mr.. Carpenter-"In other words,
then, it is agreed on all hands that the
powers of this Commission are politl-
cal powers, are legislative powers, del
egated by the two houses of Congress
Your Honors would have relieved
yourselves from the infection of the
twenty minutes if you had announced
it early"
Commissioner Hoar-"I did not IN
derstand that Judge Bradley an
nounced the proposition that you have
just stated"
Mr.. Carpenter-"Thep proposition il
to my mind self-evident, and so fortified
by the Constitution that | will stop OF
the mere suggestion that Judge Brad
. ley has made on the subject"
Justice Bradley intimated that the
counsel had drawn his own differences.
Mr.. Carpenter was followed by Judge
Trumbull on the Democratic side anC
Messrs. Stoughton and Shellabargel
for the Republican electors.

Death Of the Oldest Editor

The Hon. John S. Gallagher died at
his residence, GAG E street southwest,
on Sunday last, in the eighty-fr year
of his age. Mr.. Gallagher was the
Oldest editor in the Uuited States, He
commenced his Journalistic career
when eighteen years of age, and from
a position of one of the most oompe-
tent and best known editors in his ma
tive State he came to Washington as
assistant editor of the old National
Intelligencer. He was also for many
years an able an efficient clerk in the
employ of the Government. President
Tyler appointed him to the position of
Third Auditor of the Treasury De-
partment in 1S49. This position he
filed for a number of years. He was
also for fifteen years a clerk in the
Quartermaster Generals Office. Mr..
Gallagher has been an invalid for over
two years. He died greatly regretted
and beloved by host of friends

What One Report Is Worth.

A gentleman Of Chattanooga who
sent to Mr.. James NJ. Burnup, of
London, England, copy of Commits
sioner Killebrew' S recent report upon
the "Ocoee and Hiwassee Mineral
District, has received the following
reply to his letter accompanying the
report. Mr.. Burnup is man of con-
siderable means. has recently pur-
chased large tract of mineral lands
in this State with the intention of de-
veloping them. He says, after duly
acknowledging the receipt of the re-
port; Il may just here mention that
it is most mastery and efficient re-
port, and will be of much use to me
(being an unbiased and official report
in my negotiations with capitalists on
this side, ordinary private reports be-
ing always received with some suspic-
ion. The policy of your State in hav-
ing such an officer cannot but be con-
ducive of much benefit to the State; in
fact, | would like you to send me a
quantity of the reports, which may be
the means of attracting capital for in
vestment in Tennessee. "

Reputation.

Our excellentfellow citizen the Hon.
C. G. Smith has taken the bull by the
horns in offering the following resOlu-
ton in the House last Saturday:
Resolved, by the General Assembly
of the State Of Tennessee, that any
proposition, direct or indirect, to re-
pudiate any portion of the debt of this
State is unworthy of the honor and
good name of the State, and that this
General Assembly, without distinction
of party, will set its seal of c0ndemna-
ton upon any and all such PROPOSE
tions, should any hereafter at any time
be made.
Mr.. Frierson made motion to sus-
pend the rules and take up the reso-
luton for discussion and adoption with
out delay; this motion was lost, and
the resolution will come up in regular
order.
The whole course of the present
Legislation has, so far, been in spirit
entirely adverse to the resolution, its
whole scope being to pay nothing; but
the majority of the Legislature was
elected by the Democratic party, every
public declaration of which from the
time when it gsined any power in
the State whatever, has been in
favor of meeting the State obligations,
and We cannot conceive a legislature
with such antecedents failing to pass
the resolution unanimously, especially
in the face of the exceedingly liberal
offers of compromise made by the
boudholders North.

Nashville Journal of Medicine and
Surgery.

We are in receipt of the January
number of this journal. Its main
attraction, as usual, consists in the
clinical records of the operations
performed by the editor, DR.. w.
I. Briggs who now stands in the first
rank of American surgeons.
Outside of these, a case of extra
uterine CESSATION by an eminent Eng
lish surgeon is of great interest from
the variety of its occurrence.
The following is a joke worth ex-
tracing. A German physician had
been using the thermometer very as
siduously il a protracted case of fever
for diagnostic purposes. When he
became convalescent the patient bought
him thermometer for constant use,
saying that nothing had ever done him
so much good

In comparing this vote with that of
four years before one is struck with
the evidence of visible Strengthening
of party lines, aud this is especially
manifested by the united vote given by
the electors from the several States.
In the vote of 1879 it was exceptional
for a State to give a solid vote Eve
mean eff course for Vice President, all
the votes were solid for Washington
as President) in 1898 every State vo-
ted solid, except that South Carolina
threw away one vote on Aaron Burr,
and Pennsylvania gave one vote to
Clinton, her vote being otherwise solid
for Adams.
1t is not so obvious at first sight
what were the main questions on which
the division was taking place. The
irrepressible question of slavery had
been brought up by the introduction
of some petitions from the Quakers
against the slave trade and afterwards
against the institution itself; but it was
not Mason and Dixou's line which di-
vided the vote, for otherwise Maryland
and South Carolina would not have
voted with the New England States
for Adams, but with Virginia for Gin
ton. Again, the point for locating the
permanent seat of government had
been discussed at great length and
much acrimony, but it was simply a
local question not likely to affect a
Presidential election.
The only other two points of serious
debate during the interval between the
two elections had been the old stand
ing jealousy between the large and the
small STATES on the one hand, and the
divergence between monarchial and
democratic tendency which had
been developed in the discussions rel
ative to the salary and privileges of
the President and the relative powers
of the Senate and House of RepTesen-
tatives. Both these principles we are
inclined 10 think entered into the dis
tribution of votes in the second cleo
tion. Thus North Carolina and New
York. we have very little doubt, sided
with Virginia on the principle Of the
great States standing against the COM
pact league which Massachusetts, had
made with the smaller States. Natu-
rally Pennsylvania would have been
with the Virginia following on this
principle, but the anti-monarchical and
democratic feeling which she had so
eagerly demonstrated against the arts
socratic leanings Of Virginia during
our years of Congressional c0ntrover

As this assignment was based on
population it is interesting to observe
in what different proportion it was
distributed as compared with the pres
ent day. New York, so far from pos
sessing that great predominance in
population which now distinguishes
her, found three States her superiors,
viz: Virginia, Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania, and one ner equal-NOrth
Carolina. The great struggle for pow
er was between Virginia and Massa-
ehusetts, the latter State making up
for her inferiority in the number of
votes by the close party organization
in virtue of which the New England
States always gave a solid vote with
their leader. Pennsylvania generally
voted with the New England States,
New York with Virginia except where
local circumstances threw her with
the Eastern States Gas in the keenly
contested question of selecting a site
for the National Capital) New York
was, in fact, at this time highly arts
tocratic State, the distribution of land
with its immortal rights rendering the
aspect Of society there much more
European than American (for the rent
riots were yet in the future.) More
over the commercial supremacy OF
New York city was by this time very
far from being established, Baltimore
and Boston surprising her, and Charles
ton and Norfolk probably equalling her
In foreign trade.
On the other hand while Massachu-
sets was steadily supported by a solid
New England in all controversies
Virginia was far from being supported
bya solid South. Wherever aristo-
cratic feeling entered into a question
North Carolina always intensely Dem
ocratic in the strictest sense of the
word, was at opposite poles with arts
tocratic Virginia, and the old Jealous
les between large States and small
ones which had been such an obstacle
to the formation of the Union fire.

lucky, then the youngest State in the
Union, does not seem to have come In

WASHINGTON AND ADAMS RE-
ELECTED.
The Second Election.

The first Presidential election was.
transacted rs we have shown by ten
States, three even of the original thir-
teen (New York, North Carolina and
Rhode Island) having taken no part
In it. All three of these States, how
ever, had joined the Federal Union
under the new Constitution before a
second election took place, New York
having sent her Senators and represen-
tatives in July of the first session,
North Carolina in the second and
Rhode Island in the third. In addi-
ton to this, by the time VIXEN the sec
ond election was on hand, two new
States had been admitted, Vermont
from the territory of Massachusetts,
and Kentucky from that of Virginia
so that fifteen instead of ten States
were now ready to join in Presiden-
tial election.
The following is the schedule o.
States with the number of electora
votes assigned to each:

sy overruled all other considerations
and placed her under the leading of
Massachusetts, and the league of small
States.
We will say no more at present as to
the actual mode of counting the votes
at the election of 1898, as so much is
calling our attention in connection with
that of 1877, but promise next week
if our readers will pardon the delay,
to give an analysis of the method in
both the two first elections with a dis
cussion of its bearing on the Constitu-
tional questions now before us and to
give room for this we will then sus-
pend our historical "reminiscences for
a week.

whether Wells came here after COM
