THE Tennessee Legislature has sub
mitted to the people Of that State
constitutional amendment providing
that the Legislature snail meet only
once IN four years. Perhaps the plan
Is open to some objections, bat the sub
mission Of the question to the people
indicates a growing sentiment IN the
public mind against Legislative tinker
ing. There Is a deal Of wisdom IN the
saying that the world is governed too
much WhaA with the making and
unmaking Of laws, amending, substi-
tuting aud repeating, the people are
left IN doubt mach of the time what
the law Is, aud about the time business
adjusssl5sef 10 a given law, Congress
or the Legislature cOnvenes and makes
a new one. This IS owing partly to the
fact that many Of the laws passed are
merely tentative and experimental,
partly to the incompetence Of legisla-
tors and partly to the excessive desire
Of most legislative bodies 10 be tinker
ing and changing. OF course new laws
are necessary from time to time to
meet the changing conditions Of so
ciety, but no one can deny that these
changes should be as few and as
seldom as possible. If the plan above
referred to is adopted in nTennessee, and
proves popular, it may be followed by
a similar movement IN other States

The Money and Stock Markets.


New YORK, March 30.-The Times
financial article of to-day, in referring to
the agitation in the money market yester-
day says: 'It is perhaps unnecessary to
state that this sudden change was due TO
eXtraneOus influences, and sprung from a
renewal of the operations Of the gold
clique. It is well known that large
amounts Of capital in this and neighbOr-
ing cities would be released if satisfactory
rates could be obtained, and it was not
likely that the maneuyres Of the clique, if
persisted in, would meet with much sue
cess"


The stock market has been active, with
wide fluctuations in the leading shares,
which are in the main considerably higher
than at the close yesterday. On and after
the second call the market was firm.

A capillary correspondence was recently at
tempted between notorious Partisan thief in
durance vile and his comrades outside. The
prisoner was sent a letter from his .dancee,
containing merely lock of hair wrapped in
the leaf Of book. The jailor did not con-
slider the souvenir important enough to be
delivered, but in few days came similar en-
closure, and yet another. This aroused sus-
picion, and the governor took the matter in
hand. He examined the leaf of the book; it
was that of common novel, twenty-six lines
on page Then he studied the hair, and
noticed the small quantity of the gift. Count
ing the hairs he found them of unequal
length, and twenty-six in number, the same
as the lines of the page. Struck with the
coincidence, he laid the hairs along the line
of the page which they respectively reached,
beginning at the top with the smallest hair.


After some trouble be found that the end of
each hair pointed to 3 different letter, and
that these letters combined formed slang
sentence, which informed the prisoner that
his friends were ON the watch, and the next
time he LETT the prison, to be examined, an
attempt would be made to rescue him. The
governor laid his plans accordingly; the at
tempt was made, but the rescuers fell into
their own trap. ...--., . .. +

Conductors of trains on the Central and
Union Pacific trains are often annoyed by the

conductor of an eastward bound train on the

''dead-heGd'' of this class among his passen-
gers, and three different times stopped the
train and put him off, each time giving en-
phasis to the matter by the application of his
boot, but it invariably happened that the un,
desirable passenger managed to get on board
about as soon as the conductor. The third
time, the conductor remained ashore watch
ing the chap until the train had attained such
headway that he felt confident the dead-head
could not get on-in fact, he had to spring in
a lively manner to accomplish it himself-but
as socn as he got Strengthened upon his feet
he found the impecunious riding along with

Saws the New York Independent, anent
the promotion of Archbishop McClosky:
What special necessity there may be Tor an
American cardinal at this time, beyond what
has existed for half century or more, we 90
not understand; and, in truth, the functions
of q cardinal are not of nature to add IN
any manner to the efficiency of an ecclcsias-
tic in this country, except that there is an i'm
plied dignity in the title which might prove
seductive to the imagination of people outside
of the Catholic Church. AS the Pope is al
wavs chosen from the College of Cardinals,
the wearer Of a red hat has the advantage OF
being always regarded as q possible wearer
of the tiara. and of filling the chair of St.
Peter. \ cardinal, too, is one OF the electors
of the Pope, and the Cardinal Archbishop of
New York may be very soon required to
take O. sudden departure to Rome to elect
successor to the venerable pontitf from whom
he has received the purple dignity. 1t was
understood that Archbishop Hughes greatly
desired the distinction of the cardinalate, and
he would doubtless have had the honor be-
slowed upon him if the other Catholic bish-
ops had not discouraged it. Cardinal Nc
Closky is prelate Of great dignity OF char
actcr and he is represented as regretting the
distinction which he has received, and we
have no doubt Of his sincerity. 1t cannot be
denied that cardinal in New York will be
in a very anomalous and uncomfortable posi-
ton. There will be nobody with whom he
can associate on equal terms. His lnnk Is
| that Of a prince, and he must be addressed as
his Eminence. His costume, which he must
! of necessity wear, will subject him to con-
stant observation. Even in London Cardinal
! Wiseman found himself unpleasantly con-
spicuous, although he was surrounded by
princes and mobiles. But Cardinal McClosky
| will be wholly segregated from all social sur
roundngs and set apart in his splendid trap
