DAVIS VS.. DAVIS.

The March term Of our Circuit Court
was adjourned untilcourt in course on
last Saturday night about eleven
o'clock. THE court was held open I'M
til that late hour to give the Attorneys
in the divorce suit Of Davis VS.. Davis,
time to prepare the bill of exceptions
carrying the case to the Supreme Court
A great deal Of interest was manifested
in the progress of that case by the
friends and acquaintance of the re-
spective litigants, whose social stand
ing has always been high, in one Of
the most enlightened portions of our
county. The court was occupied two
entire days in trying the case. Both
sides were represented by able counsel
and an earnestness and zeal was man.
Tested which showed that the struggle
was a desperate one. There was
very great conflict in the proof The
allegations of the plaintiffs bill that
the defendant failed to provide for her
and their children, and was guilty of
cruel and inhuman treatment towards
them, was completely negatived by the
proof in the case. The proof, how
ever, upon the other allegations of the
bill was sufficient to have entitled the
plaintiff to the relief sought, but for
the fact that the defendants proof
clearly showed that the plaintiff, with
full knowledge of the defendants in
fidelity to his marriage vows, had con-
tinued to cohabit with him as his wife
which, in law, is a conformation of the
ofense, and complete bar to a suit
for divorce, because of the acts condor
ed. The court therefore dismissed the
plaintiffs bill and denied her the re-
lief sought. The court refused to so
modify the injunction as to allow the
defendant to speak to his children, ex-
cept in the presence of some discreet
person. We cannot refrain from re-
that it is a sad domestic
drama, a repetition of which, we hope
we will not be called upon again to
chronicle. We sincerely hope that
they may yet become reconciled, and
enjoy long life of happiness in each
others love, forgetting their past differ
ences and striving to rear their inter
esting children 10 away that they may
be ornaments to society and an honor
to their parents and their country.

COL. JOHN G. BURCH.

We take great pleasure in congratu-
lating this distinguished Tennesseean
upon his election to the Secretaryship
of the United States Senate. Col.
Burch is man of marked individual
ity, and his conception of what is
right in any line of public duty cannot
be overawed by opposition, or silenced
through the malignancy of foes. We
are glad to know Of his success. His
election is a graceful attestation Of his
commanding personal worth, and EN-
inent political fitness for the position
to which he has been elevated. Col.
Burch has seen mnch public service.
He was once Speaker of the State
Senate, also Comptroller of the State,
and besides being the leading Demo
cratic journalist of the State, his pen
and tongue have ever been foremost
in enforcing upon the people of the
country the wisest and best public
policies. All Tennesseeans are proud
0fhis election.

Deathbed Repentance.

At noon, yesterday, the legislature
Of Tennessee died peacefully. In look
ing over its ten weeks record, the
truth compels us to say that its last
act is its best act. That act is one OF
the few it has performed which viii
meet the unanimous approval of the
people. The deathbed repentance of
the legislature was as distressing as the
deathbed repentance Of the old sinner
who, after spending a long life in wick
edness, seizes upon the horns of the
alar. History records that about the
time Of King Alferd, the famous Dan
ish Vikings, plundred, pillaged and
scourged with fire and sword the coast
Of Kent, invariably repented, as the
sands of life ran low, Of their misdeeds
and always sought, by the endow-
ment of churches and the erection Of
monasteries and nunneries, to replace
that which, in their vigorous prime,
they had sacked, burned and leveled
to the earth, When too old to wear
armor, and to slaughter monks and
ravish nuns, they penitently put on
sackcloth, and with patient stoicism
endured self-inficted tortures- By
this eleventh-hour piety they hoped to
balance their accounts and be saved.
The Tennessee legislature has tried to
initiate this example. It wasted near
ly all its time in doing nothing or in
purposeless gable, and in spending
the hard earnings Of the taxpayers in
proftless investigation. But as the
session was about to expire, members
heard the thunder of the people, and
on their deathbed repented of their
sins of omission and commission. For
nine weeks they slept at their posts
like a gorged anaconda, but Goals of
fire will move the turtle housed in his
own shell, and the voice of the people
finally reached the apathetic legislature
and on its deathbed it showed a dispo-
sition to fulfill its obligations to the
people and TO do what if ought to
have done two months ago.-Memphis

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
His Views as Given to a Boston Report

His Views as Given to n Boston Report
er.
Boston, March 29.-Jefferson Davis
in an interview, says that the rebellion
was one of those things which was
sure to come in the progress of events
and in solving the great problems Of
government upon this continent. He
accepted the arbitrament of the sword.
He was very hopeful of the future of
the country. The only disturbing ele-
ments to be diseerned now were the eff
forts Of extremists upon both sides to
keep alive the animosities and hatreds
of the past. IF Congress would pur-
sue a moderate course and attend to its
Legitimate duties of general legislation
for the good Of the whole country, all
the great social and industrial questions
which were now the sourch Of so much
contention, would soon settle them
selves and the country be at peace.

VIII 0 did it!

It is reported that forty tax-yapers
in Hardeman county have petitioned
the Legislature to release that county
from tie railroad tax due OH account
of the Mississippi Central railroad to
tie State, so that the tax, or like
fuad of money, may be expended by
the county to build a branch railroad
to Henderson to connect with the
Mississippi Central. The proposition
is so absurd that it is hardly possible
it was ever made to the Legislature, or
if made, that it viii be considered. 1t
is not unlikely, if the matter is enter
tanned by the Legislature, that doz-
en- or n hundred citizens of Shelby
will ask similar favors Of the General
Assembly, in order to build steam
boats to run up Big Hatchie from
Memphis to Bolivar.

We congratulate the Legislature
upon the work Of its concluding hours.
A victory has been gained by the
sounder and soberer second thought.
No principal was sacrificed, for it is
simply pour pdr'eT as yet, between
two parties When the proposition to
submit the proposed adjustment to the
creditors was voted down in the SEN
ate, it seemed to be a hopeless case.
The bill then had nothing in it the
State credit men could support. Its
passage, with what amendment from
The House, makes 1t at least piece
of square dealing. The irrepressibles
fought TO the last, and avowed their
purpose Of going before the people

Yesterday the Tennessee Legisla-
ture adjourned sine die, to the great
relief of the public and the deep grief
Of Nashville hotel and clearinghouse
keepers. The closing hours, as de-
scrlbed IN our special, were quite
touching. But why dwell on so pain
full a theme? The Legislature has
passed away, and we shall never see
its like again. If only the good that
men do live after them, it will long re-
main an open question whether the
dear departed left any effects

Senator Hampton is improving
steadily, but the physicians in atten-
dance upon him agree that it would be
exceedingly imprudent in him to 90,
at this time to Washington. The
journey would be fatiguing, at least,
one in his condition, and his physicians
earnestly advise against it. This is
the reason why Senator Hampton is
not in his seat in the Senate.

The spread of the anti-rent agitation in
Ireland excites uneasiness and alarm among
the landlords. Grand juries 10 the dis
turbed counties have lately called the at
tention of the authorities to the subject,
and to the increase of intimidation and
lawlessness, and demanded that increased
powers be bestowed upon peace officers.
These iuries represented the landlords
side of the question, OF course, and natur-
ally enough, they insisted upon govern
ment support in the extraction of their
dues from poverty stricken and reluctant
tenants. 1t might be we'll for them, at the
same time. to look at the other side, and
consider what concessions should be made
in the way OF removing the cases of dis
satisfaction. Their legal title may not be
successfully disputed now, but it is not
always expedient to insist upon the pound

State Register
De1IO TUB I5NCI
States Rights and Secession.


States Rights and Secession.
A stalwart republican wants to know
why the Register, in its defense and main
tenance of states rights, does not state
that it does not defend or maintain the
right OF secession. The reason is that
there is no more connection between
states rights and secession than there is
between personal liberty and murder, or
between free trade and smuggling, or be-
tween hard money and counterfeit coin.
The right of the states, under the con-
stitution and its amendments, to regulate
suffrage, to provide laws and to enforce
those laws is sacred and indefeasible, and
the power of the federal government to
make laws as to the matters delegated to
1t, and to enforce these laws is equally
sacred. The fact is, that there is no in
telligent, honest reason for any dispute as
to national rights or states rights, for the
sphere of each is completely described in
the constitution. If our staIwart friend
will but study that instrument, which is
really democratic campaign document,
he will never again ask why it is neees-
sary to deny that secession is one of the
rights of the states.
