at the instance of Judge DuBose's
counsel.
Altogether this has been the most
remarkable session of legislature Ten
nessee has ever seen. 1t is true they
may have not done just right in every
thing but the main fault lies IN bills
not passed nd not in ones passed.
The senate towards the last gave
way t. the lobby and thwarted the
good ends nt the house, but many
good bills hal already bee me laws
before this tOnk place.
