Legislative Summary.

Gov. Hawkins vetoed the House
Joint resolution to pay the railroad tax
assessors s1,4S2 on constitutional
grounds.
Mr.. Stewart was unseated by strict
party vote of 30 to SO, and the Gov
ernor has issued an order for a new
election on the 18th inst.
Mr.. SmaIlman's resolution for ten
days recess of the Legislature from Sd
inst, was adopted.
d. A. Num-, Republican, of West
Tennessee, was elected Secretary Of
State, Jas. Nolan, Republican,. OF
Waverly, was elected Comptroller, and
Nj. 7. Polk, Democrat, was reelected
Treasurer.
Immense excitement and confusion
prevailed when Messrs. Morgan, Davis,
Driver, Matthews, Buchanan and
Plummer, low tax Democrats, voted
for Mr.. Num-, the Republican, against
Mr.. D. l.. Snodgrass, of White; and
also when Messrs. Davis, Buchanan,
Driver and Plummer voted for Nolan,
Republican, against Gaines and Ballen
tine, Democrats.
AS the leading low tax Democrats
denounced their treacherous brethren
and branded them as vile traitors, We
will leave the renegades thus branded
in the hands of their friends and turf
their treachery over to their constitu
ents to visit condign punishment.
In some sharp words between Messrs
Davis and Thompson, low tax Demo
Gratis in the Legislature, Mr.. Davi
said: II preferred Num- to him,
(Thompson). Isn't this a little equivo
calf 1t may mean that Thompson
was his first choice, or that he prefer
red to be without Secretary rathe
than have Thompson.

The Anticipated Stir.

The press generally is anticipating a
sensational stir when the forthcoming
book of Jefferson Davis is laid before
the public, which will be within the
next ninety days. 1t has been given
out that Mr.. Davis has written the
book withgreat delberaHonoand has
tracked the records with wonderful pre-
cision and accuracy. This we hope he
has done, and if he has, there need be
no trepidation as to the result, for
truth is its own vindicator. We hope
Mr.. Davis has risen above all personal
considerations and given us the facts
from the records. This is what we
want, and nothing short of it will be
satisfactory to the South. If it turns
out that he has done this, he will be
sustained and upheld by the people
whose cause he represented, though
ntbe stars fall.
The great fault with all the histories
heretofore written on the subject of the
late civil war, whether by northern OF
southern men, is that they are too par.
tisan and too personal. That is, they
have been written to foster some party
or some person. AS Mr. Davis ha;
taken sufficient time in which to lei
passion subside we hope he has steered
clear of these faults.

The Electoral Count.

Next Wednesday the two Houses of
Congress will meet to count the electo-
raj vote for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. Trouble
in the count is anticipated from the
fact that the Democrats and Republi-
cans entertain widely different views as
to the powers of the presiding officer
on that occasion, which is the Vice
President. If Mr.. Wheeler should as
sumo to act as a judicial officer in the
matter and decide questions which are
the prerogative of tie two Houses to
determine, he will meet with vigor-
ous opposition from the Democrats,
who will have decided majority on
that occasion.
The most difficult question likely to
arise in tho count is in reference to the
electoral vote of Georgia, which was
not cast on the day prescribed by the
constitution, but was cast at time in
accord with Georgia's own statutes.
Whether the vote of that State be
counted or not will not effect the cleo
ton, butit will set an important pre-
cedent for counts hereafter that may
seriously effect the general result.

A Grand Triumph.


The election of Judge Jackson to
the U. S. Senate is not only Demo.
cratic triumph full and complete, but
it is grand triumph of patriotism
over partisan politics and office-seeking
demagogues, triumph of that princi-
pie which is peculiarly appropriate to
that office, and which teaches that the
Office should seek the man, and not the
man the office. In the reassertion of
this time-honored principle the Repub-
licans who abandoned party shackles
and voted for Jackson are entitled to
due credit. For, when they dispaired
of the election of their man, they ex-
hibited a high degree of good judgment
and patriotism in voting for man of
such eminent qualifications, aud one,
too, that was not even an aspirant for
the office. There were not less than
nine or ten aspirants directly or indi-
rectly for the place; and it is whole
some lesson to them as well as others
to know that men may be appreciated
without making themselves so conspicu-

1t will be remembered by the readers
of the STANDARD that we gave no ex-
preston in favor of any man, but de-
clared ourselves for a democratic
Statesman" without regard to the man.
Our principle has been well maintain
ed and our choice fully gratifed in the
election of Howell E. Jackson
And we hope the lesson will teach
politicians and demagogues that this
country was not made for man, but
man for the country. While the
STANDARD took no. grounds for any
candidate, we honestly believed thai
Mr.. Bailey was entitled to the seat and
had done nothing to disqualify him fol
it. Yet while it was perfectly legiti
mate for him to aspire to re election
he had no right to suffer his name tt
prolong rroftless struggle at the ex
pense of the public interest and to thu
hazard of his party. Two distinguish
ed citizens of Tennessee, to.wt: judy,

His Postoffice Department all cleaning with

His cohorts gathered like the fierce waves
On the sea,
From the remotest corners of old Tennessee.
Like the nabob of tn East, from Turkish

Three rooms in the Maxwell he ordered to
be rent;
Like the leaves of the forest when summer
is green,
These cohorts were daily at his quarters to
be seen.

Tempting the Democrats, if any could be

To one poor wretch the temptation was

They bought up his franchise, but could

After the battle that host lay withered and
strown;
And there lay the great chieftain, distorted
and pale;
He lost the Senate and qoM lose the U. S. mail
His quarters were left silent, the banners

The bags were unified and the money un
