Intricate Legal Questions Arise Under
Tennesse0's New Law.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 5.-A suit involving
the release of 250 convicts from the peni-
tentiary was filed IN the Chaneery Court
yesterday, and subsequently moved to the
Supreme Court, in order that an early de-
clsion may be had and have the question
finally settled. The counsel tor George
Bingham, convict, filed a petition for "A
mRndamus TO compel the warden and
lessees of the penltentiRry to grant him
"gOOd time" under the law passed by the
General Assembly last year. One clause
OF the law declares that the provisions
shall not be carried out unless agreed to
in writing by the lessees. Another clause
provides that the law shall take effect
from and after its passage while still an
other says it shall not take effect until
the present lease expires.
THE GOOD TIME.
The ''good time" allowed by the law is
two months the first year, three months
the second year, and so on up TO and in
cuding the tenth year. Not only for the
years that elapse after the passage Of the
act, but also for the years previous.
should the law passed last year be de-
clared constitutional by the Supreme
Court, many cOnvicts will be Immediately
set at liberty. IL is claimed by the cOun-
sci for f. Fl. Johnson, another convict,
whose application Tor a writ of habeas
corpus has heen held under consideration
by Judge Reid of the Circuit Court for
several weeks, that the mandamus suit
brought Yesterday is in the interest of the
lessees who wish the decision in the John
son case deferred.
ADECIsIoN WITHHELD.
Judge Reid upon learning of the suit
instituted by Mr. Bingham decided 20
await the decision of that case by the Su-
preme Court. The point made by john
sons attorneys is that by the last clause
Of the act it became a law as soon as IL
was passed. Johnson who was sentenced
to 81 years imprisonment for robbing an
express messenger In Memphis escaped
from prison and being recaptured was
deprived Of bis ''good time" A bill will be
died soon 10 declare the present lease null
and void.

The resolutions adopted at the meets
ing of the Irish National league are COM
mendsble both for their completeness and
their moderation. The acknowledgement
of the leadership of Parnell and approval
of his course and that of his parliameE>
tary associates places the convention as
properly on the track of a conservative,
constitutional course of action in the
great struggle for Irish freedom.
Not the least sensible of the resolutions
is the one which expresses the thanks ef
the convention to Mr.. Gladstone and the
English, Scotch and Welsh democracy
for the support given to home rule dur
ing the recent general election.
The fact that SO large minority of the
English electors followed the splendid
lead OF the greatest living statesman and
Endorsed the principle of local self-gov-
erDmGnt. is cheering sign for the future
success of parliamentary agitation. Such
movements do not retrograde. Like the
battles for the repeal of the corn laws;
the disestablishment of the Irish church
the extension Of the suffrage and the bal
lot, familiarity will make the issue pop
ular, and Ireland will achieve home rule
by the aid of the votes OF English cleo
tors.
The conservative course is the best.
The aspirations of The friends of Ireland
can be bes. aided by adherence to the
course marked out by Mr. Parnell
