, f. . .... ,.A ..M ONE HUNDRED YtAUS A00 IN TENNESSEE. It It not a generally known historical fact that from 1774 to 1784 the territory now known as Tennessee formed a part o f North Carolina, and that In 1785 the Ten nesseeans, becoming dissatisfied with their government, organized a state government under the name of "Franklin," which was maintained for some years. The state or ganlzed afterward disbandcd.and Tennessee was again annexed to North Carolina. The following is among the laws passed by the legislature of the state of Franklin. We copy it as found in a speech by Daniel Web ster on the currency of :83s: Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of Franklin, and it is hereby en acted by the authority of the same, that from the first day of January, 17S9, the si lariesof the officers of this common wealth be as follo.ws : Ills excellency, the governor per annum 1000 deer skins, Hit honor, the chief justice, per annum 500 deer skins. The secretary to his excellency, the gov ernor, 500 raccoon skins. The treasurer of statc,4.so raccoon skins. Each county clerk, 300 beaver skins. Clerk of house of commons, 200 raccoon skins. Members of the assembly,per dicm,three "raccoon skins. Justices fees for signing a warrant, one muskrat skin. To the constable for serving a warrant one mink skin. Enacted into the law the iSth day of October, 1 7S9, under the great seal of the state. will amount to $80,000,000 and her Demo cratic majority Is 163,000, It must be said for her that she is the most American of any state In the Union, and Is likely to re main so, for she attracts American rather than foreign Immigration. S. F. Alta. BAD MANNK1U OF HISDANDS. - A friend was spending the day with me the other day, and while she was here our pastor called. After he left the friend said : "Did you ever notice with what respect Mr. Conrad speaks of his wife and how courteously he treats her at all times !" I nodded assent,and my friend went on : (I suppose my husband is as good a man as ever lived, but his mother did not train him to be courteous to ladies. His sisters were his slaves, and thereby he is spoiled as a husband. I wish I could train several hun dred boys to be husbands foi the next gen eration. Do you suppose the'd consider it theirprerogative to drive the girls out of the easiest chair, take the sunniest corner of the room.the best place by the Hght,throw books,papers or slippers down for some one to put away, and grow up with the idea that a wife must be the valet and the rest of the household stand respectfully by to obey or ders ? You smile, but this is anything but a subject to laugh over. "I really believe husbands never think how their unkind ways hurt. They don't realize the difference to us for instance,in their manner when they come to dinner. All day the wife has been alone with the children and servants, and Is more hungry for a kind word from her husband than an epicurean feast. He comes in just as the dinner bell rings. 'For a wonder dinner is once ready on time,' the husband Bays Couldn't he have saved the heart stab by say ing.'That's a pleasant sound to a hungry fellow,' and what hinders him from adding, what would be milk and honey to a weary soul all the rest of the day nay, all the rest of her life 'You are a good wife,Cornelia.' And if dinner is not quite ready why need he say.'Of course not J never is.' In work ing mottoes for the home.why hasn't some one taken Wesley's remark : ' I'd as Soon Swear as Fret,' instead of hanging up 'I Need Thee Every Hour.' "When I think, I have a hard time I just think of the women who have no servants but who themselves care for the children, wash, iron, cook, mend, churn, milk, carry wood and water, all for less than an Irish servant girl's wages. Of course men appre ciate their wives, of course they ds,but thev keep their polite manners and courteous way for other men's wives. One time James thanked me forgiving him room be side me at a concert, and then sort of apol ogized for being polite by saying he thought it was my sister Mary " Atlanta Vti'stitu-tion. We referred recently to the r'ght of the State of Texas to dissolve into several states without consulting the Federal Government except to demand admission for such new states. This statement having been ques tioned,we beg to quote from the Act of An nexation: "New States of convenient size, not ex ceeding four in number, In addition to said State of Texas, and having sufficient popu lation, may hereafter, by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admis sion under the provisions of the Federal Constitution," Here, then. Is the authority for making five states where there is one, and getting ten Senators where now ore two. Texas is as large as all the original thirteen colonies, leaving out North Carolinla. In the Elec toral College of iSqj the will have twenty, four votes, and in ten years more will cast the heaviest electoral vote of any state in A dispatch frem Chicago says: In spite of the confident assertions of the Republi can organs that Gen. Palmer's defection would have no effect upon the Grand Army, new6 of other Democrats following his example come in every day or two Yesterday Col. J, B. Nulton, Anthony Connolle, A. II. Doughty and Dr. Eherle Wilson, of Carrolton, who have been among the most prominent Grand Army men in the interior of the State, sent in their resignations. They ore Democrats and say they cannot stand the Republican proclivities of the order. A dispatch from the south says that col ored farm tenants in various parts of Soutl Carolina have become imbued with the idea that they will not be required to pav their rents now that General Harrison has been elected President.
