Wednesdays Proceedings.

At the joint convention of both
houses Wednesday at noon, the
same tactics were pursued by the
Democrats as on the day before. Ac-
cording to agreement, the Republi-
cans put the name of Hon. G N.
Tillman before the convention. The
ballot resulted about the same as on
the day before.
The report of the Conference Com
mittee, composed of members of
both houses, made a report on the
revenue bill, which was adopted.
The report embodied the following
recommendations: That the recon-
mendation of the House that 10 per
cent. be inserted for 10 per cent, in
designating the stock in cigars or
fruit making merchant liable to
taxation, be amended to read 20 per
cent. That the following sale of
privilege taxes, per day or night or
day and night, on circuses be insert
ed: In counties of $4,000 inhabi
tants and over, $500; in counties be-
tween 10000 and $4,000, 5000; in coun-
ties between $4,000 and 10000 $3.50;
in counties of less than $1,000, $50;

THE Senatorial deadlock is cost
ing the tax payers of Tennessee one
thousand dollars day, and the peo-
pie are becoming very tired of it.
The gentlemanly, unselfsh, patriot
ic way out of the difficulty would be
for Mr.. McMillin to return to his
post Of duty at Washington; Gov.
Taylor to leave his headquarters at
the Maxwell House and again take
up his abode in the State Capitol
where the people called him, and
the Legislature to re-commissiOn
Senator Turley to the chair mad e
vacant by the death of Senator
Harris, and leave it to the people
next November, to decide the ques-

OUT OF MANY, ONE,

viii you come to the spring-decked
woodlands,
Where kindly mother Earth
Welcomes with love-iilled breezes
Her guests to the flowret's birth?
Where Father Forest fondles
His children, newly born,
And spreads them a costly cradle
With down from his bosom torn?
Where the skillful nurse, Dame Nature
Tempers the heat and cold,
With gauZes of fern and bramble
From her scented store-chest old?
Where the busy courier streamlet
In eager haste arrives,
With wealth of gathered dainties
To nourish the tender lives?
Where the trees, those stalwart serv
ants,
Are busy to deftly build
Fresh fairy homes unnumbered
With every fancy filled?
Come then, and learn a lesson
A lesson for me and you;
How thousand hearts help foster
One life of beauty true.

reconsidered. In the Senate, it was
decided that the senators should
vote for some man in the senat orial
district, except the senators placing
the three Democratic candidates
before the Senate, who, of course,
voted for their nominees. In the
House the only difference in the
plan was that each Democrat, as his
name was called, voted for the
Democrat preceding him on the roll
call.
The Republicans in both branches
voted solidly for Col. E. ]. Sanford,
and the three Populist members Of
the House voted for Senator Turley.

THE Centennial Exposition Com
pany has filed bill against V. E.
Shwab and others, to recover their
share of the profits made from the
sales of whisky; and the said Shwab
replies that these sales were Illegal,
and that recovery cannot be had
through the courts on an illegal bust
ness. 1t will be remembered that
the Centennial management faith
fully promised the legislature, when
asking to be. Incorporated, that they
would strictly prohibit the sale of
whisky, and permit only wine and
beer. They made the same promise
to the public, and posed all the
while as forbidding the sale OF
whiskey. Now they come forward
and stultify themselves by admit
ting that they were acting in bad
faith all the time, and claim a di-
vide of the illegal, ill-gotten gains.

The silver question is brought
prominently before the country
again, by Senator Teller's resolution,
which provides for the payment of
United States bonds, principal and
interest, in silver dollars. 1t was a
very adroit move upon the part OF
Senator Teller, and the vote to take
it up for consideration in the SEN
ate, was a victory for the silver
men. If this resolution could be-
come law, it would go a long way
towards fastening the time when
this country shall return to the
bimetallic standard. For the reason
that If the bond holders knew that
they were compelled to accept silver
dollars in payment both Of their
