The FOrty-SeeOnd General AS
Sembly.

The Legislature has now been in ses-
sion two weeks and have done little else
than organize and appoint the time for
the election of State officers. More
than forty bills have been introduced
on various subjects but nothing def
mite done on any yet.
On the 18th the two Houses met in
convention and compared the vote for
Governor with the following result ;
Hawkins, 103,964 Wright, 1878 ;
Wilson, 57,l88; Edwards, 3,459
scattering, 2. The Speaker of the Sen,
ate then declared Mr.. Hawkins elected
Governor.
Beyond this the Legislature has done
nothing except to spend 81, 200 of the
peoples money in unnecessary wrang.
ling. Every day they cost the State
5000 whether they effect anything or
not. The present session will cost the
State S45, 900.

The Conference.

In view of some of the momentous
issues presented to the Legislature-is-
sues not only of State, but of national
importance-we would rejoice to forget
the past, ignore the dissensions and OBJ.
literate the local differences that divi-
ded the Democrats Of our State in the
recent election. The results of that
division hang like a pail over the par
ty to-day. The Inauguration of.a Re.
publican Governor and the seating OF
more than one Republican member OF
the Legislature are among the bitter
fruits. If the Democratic disafection
continues, Republican rule will contin.
ue, because our loss is their gain. They
gloat over our disaster and feed upon
our ruin. The longer we entertain the
spirit of faction the more certainly
will the atfliction will become chronic,
and the ulcer will deepen in our
flesh. 4 x
Who of the members Of this Gener
al Assembly are willing to face an en-
ragged constituency, justly so at the re.
fusal to make every legitimate effort
to bring about success in this moment.
Gus question: Who has the right, in
view of this responsibility, to stand
back when the party calls upon him,
and to interpose his personal passions
or spirit of revenge for fancied wrongs,
at the cost Of the life of the party
This is no puerile contest, no war Of
factions, but the supreme effort of the
Democratic party of the nation foI
vitality.
Upon your decision depends the is
sue. Reflect well before the die is
cast. On the one side We see the
party, the old Democratic organization
that has survived the wal, rising with
renewed life and continued power; on
the other we see the eternal disgrace
of the author of its downfall. "-Nash
UiUe Banner.
We cordially endorse the above
well-timed suggestion of the Bannr
and commend it to the Democratic
members of the Legislature at this
critical moment in our history.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1881-01-15
United States Senator.

Next Tuesday the Tennessee Legis-
lature will begin balloting for United
States Senator. What the result will
be is more uncertain, perhaps. than any
event Of the kind ever was before. If
any other than the Democratic party
had the majority, the uncertainty would
be greatly lessened. For other parties
rely upon their strength and preserve
their power, while the Democratic
party of late can afford to divide
against a united and solid enemy, and
lose their prestige and power by strife
and divisions.
The STANDARD has not espoused the
cause of any aspirant, but labored to
heal the differences and elect Demo-
cratic statesman, known and approved
as such by the party and country. If
the Democrats in the Legislature should
happily unite and elect such an one
under the circumstances by which they
are SURF ounded, they will prove them
selves worthy of the trust committed
to their hands; for no body OF men
were ever so strongly beset by unscru-
pulous demagogues, enticing brides and
foul corruptionists as they are to-day.
Aside from the unfortunate division
among themselves, which is daily ag.
gravated by designing demagogues and
chronic ofice-scekers, they are exposed
to the temptations of every form Of
bargain, intrigue and bribery known tc
the corruptionists of the age. There
is no limit to the amount of money
now in Nashville and that will be of
fered for Democratic votes in this cleo
ton. If there is any Democrat so bast
|
as to desire to sell his vote, he can Sc
his own price on it and it will be taken

The Governors Message.

Gov. Marks submitted his last gen.
eral message to the Legislature last
Monday. 1t is very strong presen-
tation of the present status of Tennes-
see in her wants and her economical
administration, showing clearly that
the State government has been honest.
ly, faithfully and economically admin
istered for the two years of his official
term, and pointing out very judiciously
the legislation necessary to make its
administration more efficient.
He recommends that the Legisla.
ture create a Court of Appeals" for
each division of the State, to be com
posed of two judges each, elected by
the people of each district, for the ad-
judication of all appeals from courts of
equity in said divisions, and whose de-
cisious shall be final upon all questions
of fact, with the right of appeal to the
Supreme Court on questions of law and
cases of disagreement between the
Judges.
He says that he gave the 50-4 meas.
ure his approval for the settlement of
the State debt, and that his convictions
have undergone no change on that SUBJ
ject.
He suggests the construction of. a
new State prison outside the limits Of
Nashville, and recommends the estab.
lishment of a reformatory school for
youthful criminals instead of combining
them to hard labor in the penitentiary.
In short, he touches upon all matters
of general interest to the State with
timely suggestions upon each.

Important Decision.

The Supreme Court ofTennessee has
decided that Mr.. Stewart, Representa-
tive elect from Polk and Bradley, is en-
titled to his seat. 1t is generally be-
lieyed, however, that the Republicans
will try to unseat him, as they have a
bare majority in case he is not allowed
vote. 1t was intended by the found
ers of our government that the decision
of the Supreme Court should be final,
but it now only requires political ma.
jority to render the Supreme Court not
supreme.

Ex-senator Bruce, COlOred.

If Mr.. Garfield intends to practice
what he has so long and so eloquently
preached, he can now show his faith by
his works in appointing ex-senator
Bruce, Of Mississippi, to a position in
his cabinet.
Mr.. Garfield holds that the negro is
the equal of the white man before the
law. Now let him show his faith to
that effect. Mr.. Bruce'is in every way
wortv of the position and is justly en-
titled to it. He is a representative
man of his race. Mississippi sent nm
- the Senate and will Mr.. Garfield be
.o.,,us than Mississippi?

As we have said before, very few
Democrats have any interest in the
further division of the party, and those
few who may have such interest, wheth-
er they belong to the one or the other
faction, should be frowned down by the
just indignation of the party, which is
to-day suffering defeat and shame on
account of their demagoguery and per.
sonal scheming for office.

MAYNARD knows more about the
Bible than he does about the postal
business. Nasemlle Banner.
He knows more about either than
he practices, He spends his time and
the peoples money roaming over the
country in search of office instead Of
discharging the duties of the one he
holds. Never did hungry vultures
seek prey with more avidity than
Horace Maynard and U. S. Grant seek
Office and money they literally go
about seeking whom and what they
