WE have received q note from
Doorkeeper Brownlow in which he
says:
You are in error in attributing my
election solely to the efforts Of Major
Pettibone, as I am also much in
debted to the energy and zeal Of
Judge Houk and the Hon. ". r.
Moore of our State. You are also
mistaken in saying that I am IN a
position to take care of my friends.
The patronage at my disposal will
be administered as public trust
and equitably distributed among the
different States in proportion to
representatives. in Congress. The
share of Tennessee was necessarily
small and already exhausted. Please
correct.
The correction is made, and to do
Judge Houk full justice we will add
the following from his own paper on
the subject:
But there : no Disgusting the
fact-a fact notorious at Washing
ton-that Judge Houk was the NOV
ing spirit in this successful effort to
secure this recognition of Southern
Republicans, His leadership in this
matter as to the other Tennessee
Republican members, was partly due
to his seniority as a member and
partly due to the fact that prominence
is always according to genius, ability
and energy in any undertaking.
| In order to do justice further we
may add that the Judges genius,
ability and energy secured the ap-
pointment of his private secretary,
recently from the State of Alabama,
as assistant doorkeeper, with salary
of $4,000 year Tennessees share
is already exhausted. D"

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1881.
Hon. EMORY SpEER. the brilliant

Hon. EMORY SPEER, the brilliant
young Congressman from Georgia,
has had an independent leaning for
several years While he has gener-
ally voted and acted with the Demo
cratic party, he has been too indie
pendent to find favor with strictly
party men. The Democratic leaders
in Georgia would have defeated him
if they could, but he is very popular
with his constituents, and has defed
them to do their worst. In 1878 he
defeated the regular nominee by a
small majority, but in 1880
he buried him under a majority Of
1000 votes. 1t is not strange, after
such encouragement as this, that he
now says, Il shall never go into a
Democratic caucus again" Having
been charged with being recreant to
his party, he says the charge will not
be made again ior he does not pro-
pose to be bound by "party fealty.
Mr.. Speer says there ,are many
others in Georgia who think as he
does. The time is evidently at hand
when the faithful, the elect, who have
had things their own way so long in
that State, will encounter q political
storm. A storm is a good thing
sometimes

The question of representation in
the legislature is one on which much
may be said on both sides. On the
score of economy, it is certainly bet
ter to have only one hundred mem
bers than one hundred and thirty
two. but under the increase many
counties will have representatives
which otherwise would not; and it
appears to us desirable that as many
of the counties should have direct
representation as possible. Under
the constitution as it now stands we
know it cannot be had, but when
representatives are to be increased
in numbers, it would be well to give
each county one representative.
Under the system of joint repre-
sentation, it sometimes happens
that the same member represents
q constituency with conflicting 10,
cal interests, In this way the small
er counties do not have that equal
showing in the popular branch of the
Legislature with the larger ones.
1t appears to us that this is
question worthy of consideration,
and if in the future a constitutional
convention is 10 be held it is one
that should be acted upon by such a
body. The senate is large enough.
Let it remain as it is, with only
twenty-five members. But in the
popular branch, let the number be
fixed so that each county may have
one representative. Then each
county will have representative to
look to its own local interests without
embarrassment from any source.
We see no harm to result
from such a policy, and
we can see much good to arise from
it. As before mentioned, we recog-
nize the fact that under our present
constitution this policy is impracti-
cable, and what we have said has not
been said for the purpose of inhuenc'
ing the present Legislature. But
these hints are thrown out from what
we conceive to be a sense of justice
to the smaller counties. The more
we think of it the stronger are our
convictions that the policy is a just
one, and while it would make con-
siderable additions to the number of
members in the popular branch of
our Legislature, it would be economy
in the end, and large number of the
tax payers of the State would give it
their approval.

LAWYERS AND THEIR PRIVILEGES

The time was when lawyers felt
themselves licensed to go outside of
the record and abuse witnesses and
suitors on the opposite side without
stint. Indeed this was considered
as one of the accomplishments of the
legal profession. He who had the
most abusive tongue was star in
his profession and his services were
generally in demand and were re
warded with fat fees. But latterly
this system of practice has become
less common, and lawyers are some
what circumspect in bestowing abuse
upon witnesses who swear against
their clients or upon the principal
on the other side who has rights to
be respected
But the practice has not died out
vet. The case of Mr. John J. Yer
trees, who shot Senator Smith
last week is Que in point He went
outside of the record, without par
ticle of legal testimony to charge
bribery against three Senators in the
Tennessee Legislature and mentioned
their names. Before evidence had
been offered to prove the truth of
what he said, or before any attempt
had been made to make such proof,
he assumed the guilt of the parties
mentioned, and in their absence made
the bold charge that they were guilty
of bribery and corruption.
They were justifable in repelling
the charge, and in characterizing it's
author, who had made it, when they
were not present, and in such a
manner that they could not an
swer, in strong terms as they
did. And who will deny that Senator
Smith, when he mentioned the name
of Vertrees as the author, exceeded
the bounds of propriety? Instead of
going deliberately to work to prove
the truth of his statements, when
the opportunity had just been pres
scented by the appointment of
senatorial investigating committee,
he armed himself with pistol, and,
surrounded by his friends, some of
whom were also armed, he attacked
Smith under circumstances which
Justify belief that a conspiracy had
been entered into to take Smiths
life. After he had made an uniusti-
fable attack as lawyer, had been
answered as any man of spirit would
have replied, he proposed
to end the controversy by
taking the life of bis assailant
for doing what he had provoked him
TO do.
Ii the law is enforced in the case
OF MIR. Vertrees, he must be convict t.
