Nashville Union account. Franklin, Tennessee, April 11, 1863.

His testimony is the more valuable, because Mr. Hubbard thought this provision eminently dangerous. But he says: The Constitution was defective in not sufficiently securing the independence of judges. He asked if a judge was free when the Legislature might have him removed when it pleased. ....
