The emetic editor Of the Tennessean,
in speaking of the late primary abor-
ton, says:
"Good lawyers framed the law, and
effort was made to have it fair, equita-
bic, and constitutional, and indeed ii
will probably be SO declared by the SUI
preme court, for more than one able
and critical lawyer passed judgment on
the bills constitutionaIity before it was
introduced in the Legislature, and many
good lawyers now assert with conn,
dence that the law is constitutional and
valid, and that it will be so declared by
the higher court. "
The paper is cautious enough not to
give any names or a libel suit would
be inevitable. There is not lawyer in
the state, worthy the name, who be-
leves the law is either sane or sensible
