KNOXVILLE Tribune: The constitution
provides that no appointment, or cleo
ton to fill a vacancy, shall be made for
a period extending beyond the unexpired
term, and, according to another provis.
ion, the terms Of all the officers above
mentioned date from the FIRST day Of
September, 1870. 1t follows, therefore,
that the term of every Sapreme, Circuit,
ChancerY and Criminal Court jadge and
every attorney general, now in Office,
will expire with the 3lst day Of August,
1878, no matter when elected. The
election for their suooessors-except in

viz: on the FIRST Thursday in August,
1878.

The ofice.seeksr has bounded the
Presidential party like . book agent lying
in wait at the hotel, or a life insurance
agent after a eonsumptive, ever since
they left Washington. The Polk man
sion in Nashville was desecrated yester-
day afternoon by one of these germs of
despair. The President and Mrs. Hayes,
the members of the cabinet and a few
others we're expected at four o'clock,
and every preparation had been
made for a select, deeorous aud
elegant reception. Mrs Polk, IS the
worthy wife Of an illustrious man, has
always been held in the highest esteem
throughout the land, and all distin.
guished and eminent people visiting
Nashville make it a point, if possible, to
call at her residence aud pay their re-
spects, and those who meet her always
come away feeling that it is a high honor
aud pleasure TO know and to have been
entertained by one who illustrates the
highest type of American womanhood,
aud who sheds a halo upon the
female character, and especially upon
the annals of Tennessee, in which every
true citizen of the State takes so much
pride. AT three o'clock yesterday after
noon the ofice.seeker walked past the
grave Of Polk aud boldly rung the door
bell to head off a live President. He
was c%ourteously answered by a gentle
man, q nephew Of Mrs, Folks, and
asked his mission. The ofice-seeker
boldly and unblushingly stated that he
understood this was to be a select
and private affair, and therefore had
a little ahead Of time so as
to have a private conversation with the
President and q member of his cabinet,
and to present in person an application
he had in his pocket for an Office. The
gentleman at the door told him in tones
of whitening politeness aud sarcasm,
that Mrs. Polk would not allow her house
to be used for such a purpose, or consent
for her friends to be approached in such
a manner, and further, that it would not
any circumstances be permitted.
We are glad to know that this just re-
Duke was conclusive, and that it was not
necessary to send for a policeman. We
are also glad to think that few Tonnes
seeans have 80 far forgot the respect they
owe themselves aud the proprieties of
as to thrust themselves into the
presence of the President under such cir
c%umstances.
