HON. JAMES E. BAILEY, SENATOR
ELECT.

At meeting of the Hook and Lad
der Company, held last Friday night,
the 10Th inst, the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously ad-
opted:
Whereas. We. the members Of the
Clarksville Hook and Ladder Compa-
ny, have received with pride and graf
ifcation the intelligence of the elec-
ton of our distinguished fellow citizen
Col. James f. Bailey, by the Legisla-
ture of the State to the Upper House
Of the National Congress, and whereas
this high honor was conferred upon
him after protracted contest, in which
the merits of many of the leading poll
t.cians of the State we're zealously
urged and patiently canvassed in COM
petition with his, therefore we desire
to record our thanks to the Legisla-
ture for the honor they have conferred
on this community in selecting our
fellow w-citizen to SO high an honor, our
congratulations to Col. Bailey on his
having attained it, and our deep sense
of the value of his accession to the
council of the nation at the present
crisis of affairs. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the affection and es-
TEEN for Col. Bailey and his estimable
family, which has been the result Of
an acquaintance with his good and
great qualities, extending with most of
us over the whole span of our lives,
inspire us with a lively sympathy in
Al a caol,nus oe ,r;Ja and ho ppipogs
which must arise in them upon his ac-
ceptance at the hands of his native
State of the most dignifed and respon-
sible Office which it is in its power to
give.
Resolved, That while we acknowl-
edge in the most respectful terms the
compliment paid to this community
by the General Assembly Of the State
in selecting our distinguished fellow
citizen for the conference of so high
an honor, we confidently assure them
of our firm conviction that, as their
choice has done honor to him and to
us, so his conduct while representing
us in the Senate will be found in all
respects to do honor to their choice.
Resolved, That there never was a
tlfQe W0cn tue COuuCiis VI bulo udllou
so urgently needed the cooperation of
men distinguished by wisdom. frmness
and integrity, and these qualities could
have been found in no other person so
thoroughly combined as in that of Col.
James K. Bailey.
That we know him to be possessed
of that sound and careful judgment,
that unfiinching courage in the asser-
ton Of the right and that answering
integrity aud spOtless purity of char
acter which are essentially needed in
view of the prssent exigencies of the
nation, and that we warmly coDgratu-
late the city of Clarksville, the State
of Tennessee, and the United States
upon his being placed by last Fridays
vote of the Legislatures in a position
whore those high qualities can be util-
lied so as TO contribute to the we'll
being of the nation and its rescue from
the great danger with which it is at
present threatened.
Resolved, That A. Davidson, Il. G..
Williams, L. ID. Toombs, i. q. Mum
ford, and Jas. T. Kennedy be appoint
ed committee to hand copy of these
resolutions to Col. Bailey, and to pro-
cure their insertion in the journals Of
the city.

At last we have a short term Sena-
tor in the person of james Il. Bailey.
Mr.. Bailey was not the first choice of
any large portion of the people Of East
Tennessee. He was, however, second
on the list with a good many, and they
will be better pleased with him than
they would have been with any other
of the aspirants, after Senator Key.
He is certain TO make a strong aud
able record in the Senate. The people
of the State may justly be proud Of
their Senatorial representatives. With
Harris and Bailey their interests and
honor will be safe.-KnorUiilc Tribune.

A SLAVERY ILLUSTRATION.

[ believe it was said in the case of
Prigg VS.. The Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania on the subject of fugitive
slaves, that as the Constitution recog-
nized slave as property, and as the
fugitive clause in the Constitution gave
the master the right to his property if
it should have escaped from him, that
clause in the Constitution did execute
itself, so far as the right of the master
was concerned, to recapture his prop
erty anywhere he could find it, if he
could do so without violence and with
out breach of the peace. That was
put upon the ground that it was
simply a recognition Of the right
of property, just as aE the common law,
as under the laws of most of the States,
no doubt man would be entitled, if
he could do it without violence or a
breach of the peace, to recapture his
children or his wife who were illegally
detained from him. But beyond that
| say know of no instance in this
wide variety of powers, legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial, anywhere where
there is not the fit necessity for legls >
lative action to regulate and carry on
the great objects of the execution of
the powers that are not by implication
but expressly vested in some of the
departments Of the government, and
even in that case TO which have al
luded, where the Court SAID that the
Constitution did execute itself they
nevertheless ruled that that also was
the proper subject Of legislative ACTION
of Congress, and that Congress might
regulate and had regulated the man

the owner of the slaye should assert
his right to his property. The Presi-

LEONE had all the dandifed tastes
of the,operatic brigand, and if any
thing could add to the bitterness Of
his last moments, it must have been
the consciousness that he died be-
fore he had time to arrange his final
toilet, so that he might be carried
into the astonished market place as
his great exemplar, Capraro, ar
rayed in purple and fine linen, and
glittaring with iewelry. His worst
enemies admit that he was gentle
manly, and was capable, amid his
ferocious retributive acts, of gener-
osity and even kindness. Last year
he was sentenced to death by the
Court of Assizes at Palermo, and
the sentence, in every sense a form
idable document, now lies before
me. 1t concludes by saying that
Antonino Leone di Philippe, aged
+33, peasant of Ventimiglia, guilty
of willful homicide on the person
of Giuseppe Dispense, committed
in Ventimiglia, October 81, 1869,
in ambush and by generalization;
guilty Of highway robbery, accom-
panied by homicide, on the person
Of Giuseppe Luechese, committed
on the night of June "A, 1871, in
the territory of Ala, "is therefore
condemned to the penalty of death,
to the expenses of the trial, and to
the reimbursement Of the losses
sustained by the injured parties"
The document was published and
posted throughout the provinces Of
Western Sicily, and it was while the
sentence was on eyerybody's lips
that Leone abducted Mr.. Rose, in
broad daylight, from among thirty
people. In the above brigand.bat-
tue, the proportions were thirty
four well-armed troops to three
comparatively ill-armed men.

"GOOd for NOthinE But "A POet.''
"From the age of twenty.three,"
remarks Cowper, in a letter to Lady
Hesketh, 81 was occupied, or
ought to have been occupied, in the
study of the law. At the age of
eighteen, being tolerably well furn-
ished with grammatical knowledge,
| was taken from Westminster
school, and, having spent about
nine months at home, was sent to
acquire the practice of an attor-
ney." 1t was at this time, it seems,
that he became acquainted with
Thurlow, who afterwards became
Lord Chancellor of England, and
who, in that capacity, more than
once bullied George III and his
youthful prime minister Pitt after
a fashion the most extraordinary.
Well, it was with Mr.. Chapman, a
solicitor in London, that Cowper
was placed; and IN the same Office
young Thurlow had become q stu
dent about the same time. The
conjunction, to say the least Of it,
was a remarkable one-we can
scarcely, indeed, conceive of one
more so-and the description Cow
per affords to Lady Hesketh Of the
doings between himself and the
embryo chancellor are quite as
amusing as they are remarkable.
1t appears Cowper took no pains
whatever to qualify himself for
practice in his profession (his po-
etical faculty was already becoming
troublesome), which sufficiently
explains the ominous speech he
addressed to young Thurlow, on
the occasion of their taking tea to-
gether at the house of the lady
above mentioned. "Thurlow, "
remarked Uowper, 81 am nobody,
and shall always be nobody, and
you will be chancellor. You shall
provide for me when you are"
Thurlow smiled, and replied, 81
will" "These," said Cowper, "are
witnesses" The future chancellor
still smiled, and said, "Let it be
so, for | certainly will do it."
By this time, obviously, Cowper's
constitutional malady had begun to
manifest itself, and be was becom-
ing "good for nothing" in the es-
timation Of himself and the world.
Thurlow, on the other hand, forci-
bly, reminds us of the Irishman's
horse, Botherum," whose owner,
in the exuberance of his pride
(though Botherum was finally dis
tanced in the race), could not help
exclaiming, Botherum forever
see how he drives them all before
him!" Well, the poor respondent
Cowper-and estimating himself
in comparison with his friend Thur.
low, as a being Of no account what
ever, continued to feel more feeble,
while Thurlow, by sheer force OF
talent, reached the highest position
ip the realm. He was hurled from
that position eventually and though
his name is inscribed on the roll Of
fame, with the names of other dis
tinguished men, 1t is more than
likely that not far distant poster
ity will be apt to forget it. But the
name of Cowper (who, in his own
estimation, was a nobody" and
"always would be a nobody, what
will that same distant posterity
have to say with regard to this en-.
chanting poet of modern times?
Of course, the writer can never
know, but he can we'll conceive
that, when centuries will have
elapsed, and when Thurlow's name
will have been forgotten that of
Cowper will be held in enthusiastic
remembrance.

he had a part of the harem fitted

iron rings were round her ankles,
