I LETTER Of UNTON STEPHENS.

pstei.’intlcruan. accepting the position
damn of the Executive Committee,
rii a Very ardent and patriotic letter,
itwructi-in of the inelligibility ques-
1 -• v met. For instance he says :

The case of Roderick Random But
ler.
The Washington correspondent of the N,
Y. Herald writes.
“Special Agent Clarke, of the Pension
Bureau,recuraed here last night from Bris
tol, Tenn., where he went with a warrant
for the arrest of Congressman R. B. But
ler, and to-day reported the ..result 9(1^0.
trip to Secretary Cox.
For some time Butler managed to keep
his whereabouts a secret until the friends
could arrange'for his defence. "When the
ease catue up in the United States District
Court, before Judgo Trigg, it. was found
that the Sheriff had neglected to summon
an important witaesr.
The postpone uent of the erse was asked
til! the witnesses wanted could be found,
the Court refused and Butler was discharg
ed As soon as the action of the Court was
known the friends of Butler, who appeared
to be organized something after the order
of the Ku Klux, threatened to mob tke of
ficers and made their stay in that locality
very unpleasant.
The warrant was issued from the District
of Columbia and returnable here, and tke
and the hasty action of Judge Trigg is se
verely commented upon. It is probable
that an official investigation, bringing thu
case to the Attorney General’s,of
fice will be made.
So it appears that the terrible Ku Klux
or something “after their order,” can be
conjured up, in the interest ofthe “trooly
loil” as well as “impenitent rebelism.. Ip
this cas£ we fell like crying out “Icbabod”
for when'the Ku Klux descend to the pro-,
teutiou of such a creature as Butler, their
glory has indeed departed.
Little.—Little Dingy,the picayune e liter
of the Atlanta New Era, never looses an op
portunity to exhibit the infinitesimallittle-
ness of his sen], and he seems peculiarly
successful in all his efforts to do so. The
following contemptible fliug at Jefferson
Davis, is but in keeping with his usual
pusilanimousness.
“The Mobile Tribune feels called upon
to deny the prevailing rumor that Jeff. Da*
vis will remain in Europe for tome years.
AocorJmg t to;thi^authority, he will return
in a month or two, ’We do not think thaf it
makes much difference either way.”
The vindictive scurility hurled at Mr.
Davis by Pollard, was very properly char
acterized by the Philade'phia Age, as the
barking of a puppy at a gentleman. The
contemptible mouthings of Little Dingy,
are still worse, they are the spewings of
an unfledged buzzard at the proud estate of
the eagle. - - —

down, an I axed a white feller how much
further it was to the obstuee of the hy

feelings,reu atn silent any longer; and there
fore ask a small space, to suggest to all eon
cernad, that we should divest ourselves of i place and complete their organization by
all personal preferences and select some one
to run for Congres, who we know can take
his 9eat, if elected—one who will be true
and faithful to his trust—ono who .knows
what we most need, and knows how to go
to work to obtain it—one who will bave in-
fluenco with those- in. as well-as those out
of Congress—One who will command the
confidence and respect of the opposite par
ty.
We have some meu who can do all this,
and still maintain their dignity, and re
main true to our party. Col. Daniel S
Printup, cf your city.is one of that number;
uni I do hope he will receive the notnina
tion. No man in our District is better
qualified for the position, and but few are
as well. Under .all.the present circumstan
ces,! know of no one who could accomplish
as much for us as he c >uld. He is truly
a working and a business man, and will
make business his study if elected. His
disabilities have been removed; so his way
is clear. Many years ago he adopted the
South as his home, and has never failed
in a single instance to do his whole duty as
citizen. The war come—he went with
our sonsand laugh t side by side with them.
While iu prison with them, he diructedh is
influence in their behalf,and obtained many
favors for them in the way of rations, cloth
ing and privileges they would not have en
joyed, had it not been for him. Siace the
war he has been laboring to build up the
waste places—been at work for the good
of the community in which he lives, instead
of dabbling in politics, adding fuel to the
fire.
I do not write this as his personal friend,
but as one who wishes to sec reason and
moderation take the place of Radicalism of
either side. I feel encouraged to hope that the
Col. will receive the nomination, by hear
ing so many of our citizen’s express a de
sire to have him represent ul ‘ So mote

The Georgia State Flection—I-ettcr from
Gov. Bullock.
To the Eilitor of the Nero York Times :
—My attention has been called to an edit:
orial article in your paper of the 4th inst,
in which you refer to an allegation by the
Atlanta True Georgian.
The newspaper to which you refer is so
entirely without influence in the communi
ty, that I have not found i( necessary to
deny this or any other of its malicious alien
gatioas. against myself. _ v j ^
At the time the late act for the admis
sion of Georgia was passed by Congress, it
was understood here that the question of the
time for holding an election lor members
ef the General Assembly had not been do-
cidcd by Congress, but had been left for
adjudiaation to the Legislature or the courts
of this State. This position has also, I be
lieve, been maintained in (he columns of
your valuable paper.
But since this question has been dec i-
ded by the National Admioistrationjhrongh
Attorney-General. Akerman’s letter, it has
been aDd is the determination, so far as I
Iciiow, ofthe party, in this State,to exetcise

While POLding to the committee,through
you, my acceptan ce of the position assigned,
and my aeknowledgement of the honor con
ferred, I take this occasion to express psy
own views, on a subject, which the commit
tee Javc brotight before the puhlie, by taV ZZ'g 1 ” TfhST

man had accepted his appointm :nt, and be- ^ our3 >
fore, therefore, they had a complete organi- Very respectfully,
zation, or even the number required by
the resolution ofthe ernvention providing
for the formation of an Executive Commit
tee.
The subject to which I allude is the se
lection of candidates in the approaching
election with a reference to their eligibility
under existing so-called laws, and the cer-
tainty of their being allowed to f ake their
seats if elected. . ... .
The recommendation which some mem
bers of the committee, in its unorganized
and incomplete state, have given to the
people on the subject, is already receiving
different interpretations. For my own part
I am at a total loss to imagine how any man
elected to Congress from this State conld
have any “certainty” ot being allowed to
take his seat, witbont avowing bis uncondi-
tioual adhesion to the creed of the Radical
party. If the recommendation meaos this,
it will bo promptly repudiated by every
true Democrat in the United States; and I
will cot do cbe members of the committee
who put forth the recommendation, the in
justice to believe for a single moment, that
they intended it to reach to this extent,nor
can I believe, as some suppose, that they
inteded to advise the people to put forth
only such candidates as can take the iron
clad test oath.
. The difficulty of making a recommenda
tion which should present any uniform rn'e
applicable alike to elections for Congress
and elections for tbe'Statc Legislature, was
foreseen by the recent Democratic Conven
tion, and induced the Business Committee
of that body, and that body itself, to forego
the attempt.
I must also remark that the gentlemen

Upon this letter, the Times comments
editorially asTellows :
Gov. Bullock and the True Georgian are
at issue irf regard to a matter of fact. Wa
referred the other day to a remark of the
Atlanta journal, impeaching the good faith
of the Governor’s action upon the question
of an election in Georgia this Fall.
We deprecated as little less than fraudu
lent any measure calculated to hinder an
expression of electoral opinion, in defiance
of the general expectation which was excit
ed by the proceedings in Congress, and of
the sanction which this expectation has re
ceived from Attorney-General Akerman and
the vote ofthe lower branch of the State
Legislature. And wo expressed the hope
that Gov. Bnlloc-k 'would be able to prove
the groundlessness ofthe allegation. The
Trne Georgian thereupon said : n
‘We defy Gov. Bullook to. deny the ‘al
legation’ of the True Georgian. We have
the proof at hand. He dare not do it.’
Bat Gov. BuUock“dare do it,” as his let
ter in another column proves. We receive
his closing sentence as a declaration of his
of his purpose to nse his official influence
in farthering the election which ought to be

who have put forth the recommendation in
question hove fallen into a mistake as to
there having been any recommendation on
this subject from the Democratic Executive
Committee of the United States. On the
contrary, the whole subject of eligibility of
candidates, as affected by so-called disabili
ties, has been left by the National Demo
cratic organization, and by the Democratic
State Convention witbont spy reco amenda-
tion at all, leaving the members of the par
ty everywhere perfectly free to shape their
action according to their own convictions
of principle and poli.y in the different lo
calities.
But sipoe the subject has been brought
before the public in a quasi official form by
members of the Committee with which I
am officially connected, I deem it dne to
myself io make known my own distinct and
strong copvictionsas to the coarse required
by sound policy and sanctioned by sound
principles.
As 'to members o the Legislature,' I think
the people should select only those who are
free from all the so called disabilities, and
this simply as a matter of policy. The
Legislature will be subject to the manipn-
lation of the dominant party at Washing
ton, and that party will certainly exelnde
fiom it all persons who may be subject to
any of the disabilities which they have pre
scribed for and attempted to fix npon that
class ofofficers for the Legislature we have,
abundant sonnd material, which is fre:- from
all disabilities prescribed for that class, and
by electing a Legislature from this materi
al,-we shaU either get a sound administra
tion of State affairs or else drive the ene
mies of ‘constitutional liberty into the per
petration-of some new ant rage,’“and thus
pile up and accelerate the retribution whinli-
awaits them at the bands of an indignant,
people. It most Le borne in mind tbit the.
iron clad or test : oath has not yet been re
quired for members Of the Legislature. '
Members of Cdngrcss stand on a different'
footing, and with'regard to them I believe
a different policy is demanded. In their
ease the iron-clad or test oath is required.
I firmly believe it would be far better
that our people should remain forever un
represented, than that they should be mis
represented by men who can either. ; take
that oath or get a dispensation from it. It
is idle and foolish to expect the Radical
party in the present condition of affaiis, to
admit into Congress any real representa
tives of our people They will accept only
those Who would destroy our moral power
by misrepresenting and debasing us. Let
ns, therefore, dismiss, all idea of getting
real representatives into a Congress where
there is a Radical majority, and let us not
forget that a true Democratic Congress 'will
admit any members who may have the
qualifications required by the trne constitu
tion, stripped ofthe destructive usurpations
which are attempted to be foisted upon it
by no higher authority than Congressional
enactments and Presidential proclamations.
There are, and can be, no disqualifica
tions or disabilities for members of
bnt such as are prescribed by the constitu
tion stseif, "and by (he constitution I mean
that sacred instrument in-its parity as con
tra-distiognisbedfrom tie so-called 14th
and. 15th amendments. And never let it
be forgotten that this violation now perpe
trated in the name, and under color, ofthe
14th and 15tfa amendments, was equally
perpetrated by the same revolutionary par
ty before the passage of either one of those
so-called amendments’, I remark just here
in pasting, that the 13th amendment, abol
ished slavery, stands upon an entirely dif
ferent footing, and, in my judgment, consti
tutes a valid part of the constitution.
This doctrine—that the only possible dis
qualifications or disabiuties for members of
Congress are those to be found in the con
stitution itself—always observed in the bet
ter days of the^ government, and violated
only by revolutionary radicidigm, trill cer
tainly be respected an ^enforced by ev
ery true Democratic Congress in- the iut-
we-'
T think, therefore, that we shonld select
members of Congress without the slightest
regard to so-called disabilities, except jtiat
we should not fail to. send, at least, some
who. are subject to them, and who have
ability to show their invalidity andenormi-
iy.-’They most have a hearing on the'qnes-
;icn of theirright to seats, and that qne:*
tion .well argued on the theatre of Congress
would shake this country from centre to cir-
ElUgibilltj.
Many of onr people seem to be aware of
the different kinds of elligibility. For
their benefit we will succinctly state them
The-14th amendment prohibits anybody
from holding any office, State or Federal,
that held office before the war and aided
the rebellion. The conjunction of the two
is necessary to disqualify. Either one alone
will not disqualify for our State offices—
That is. a man may have held office before
the war without aiding the rebellion, or may
have aided the rebellion without: holding
office before the war, and he can now hold
State offices. Bnt if he has done both,
be is alike ioelligible to State or Federal
office, unless his disabilities have been re
lieved by Congress.
Hence, onr people,-in selecting members
of the Legislators, mnst be careful to se
lect no men who. are ioelligible under the
14th amendment. They will not be per
mitted to take their seats.
For Federal offices, there is still another
inelligibility. For Congress. For instance,
no man shonld ran who cannot take the
test oath, or has not been relieved. The
tost oath declares that tho affiant has not
aided the rebellion.
A man may be qualified under the 14th
amendment, bnt still be nnable to take the
test oath, and therefore be ioelligible. For
instance there are many meu who. never
held office before the war who aided the
rebellion, andjwho therefore, are not elligi-
ble under the 14th amendment; bnt these
men are still ioelligible for Congress, be
cause they cannct take the test oath that
they did not aid the rebellicn.
Some of the worthiest gentlemen men
tioned (or Congress labor under thir very
disability, and therefore shonld be with
drawn from the canvass. - L’
Onr wojthy contemporary, the Augusta
Chronicle, in an elaborate leader, argues
that CoDgress may turn liberal and not re
quire the test oath. Bnt we frankly state
that we see no hope for it The Democrat
ic Congressional CommitUe tell ns it wilt
exacted; and that we most not be guilty of
the folly of sending men who can’t take
the test oath; who have Dot been relieved.
Our own State Democratic Executive Com
mittee reiterate the same view, aod urge
that no inelligible men be ran. Everybody
is satisfied that it is a foolish coarse
waste votes on men who cannot be admitt
ed, whose exclusion is now the rale and
Radical necessity, and whose only possibQ.
ity of admission is a groundless surmise
the liberality in the Radical party, that has
pet to show a willingness to concede any
thing to the Democracy.
We cannot but regard the--positions
onr co temporary as ill-timed and danger
ous, and as strangely variant with the conn
sels of the Democratic committees of one
ot which one of the editors is a member.
Our only hope lies in carrying oat to the
letter with entire-unanimity the programme
laid down. It is sensible, jsstppclltie and
necessary, lit has-been formed by -the
wisest men. of (he party after a fall review
ofthe situation and at: careful summary
of the probabilities of success.
Let ns adhere to it, and carry it out with
out regard to personal ambitions nr individ
ual sacrifices. ott—

with a wide circulation, and after Sir Ed

public, called, >‘l think, 'Lord Saint Leon
ard’s Laws of property,’ which, was still
more, popular with the legal profersion and
t'usjuess men. . Thi«- work i> probably out
of print, as the, writer has hot seen a copy
fur tnany-jffcarsi' ''•’ -
The-work named at the head cf this ar
ticle was evidently—intentionally or other
wise—modeled after this original, gr< at im
provement on Lord Saint Leonard’s book.
Vi ho Mr. Parsons is; is known to every
lawyer. He is the learned author of many
law books that have become classics in the
profession ; and, if the writer.be not mis
taken,was a long time on the bench as Chief
Justice ol his native State, which position
he resigned to accept the FrclessbrsHip of
Law in Harvard University, which place
be now fills.
In every position in which be has acted
he has distinguished himself, whether as
lawyer, judge, or lecturer, nis mind is
accurate, and his memory retentive, so
math so that Mr. Justice Parker once said
of him, on the bench, when bis name was
mentioned, that when Parsons once read a
case he remembered everything save its
name.
From such a man the lawyer would hardly
expect a bad book, and this look is eminent
ly a good one, and is, as stated, mi improve
ment on Lord Saint Leonard’s. First, for
the reason that while Lord Saint Leonard’s
book was a small one, this is a large one of
some seven hundred pages, treats of far
more subjects, and from-its great size is en
abled to go, and does go, much more into
detail on the subjects tcrcatcd of.
Some idea may be formed of the compre
hensiveness of the hook, when it is known
that it is written in forty chapters, and em
braces nearly as many legal subjects, as fo’-
lons : Commercial Law in General; on In
fants or Minors ; Married Women and
their Rignts; Sales; Guarantee ; Payments;
Notes and Bills of Exchange ; Agency ;
Partnership; Arbitration; Carriage of Goods
and Passengers by Bailroads and other Car
riers ; Patents ; Copyrights; Statue of
Limitations;Interest and Usury; Sli pping;
Marine, Fire, and Life Insurance; Mortga
ges ut Land ; Mortgages of Personal Prop
erty; Liens of Mechanics and Material Mcd;
Pensions for Soldicis and Sailors ; Recov
ery of deots; Executors and Administra
tors; Guardians; the Stamp Act; and other
topics —all of them fully and ably discussed
in seperate and distinct chapters, and the
different subjects are exceedingly well treat
ed ace. nearly or quite exhausted in the au
thor’s usual Lucid style.
A seond improvement cn Lord Saints
Leonard's - book is this, his book nad no
forms, while this work has more than two
hundred.of the best character. Indeed, a
lawyer can hardly look for a form that can
not be found in this book; and this renders
the work' almost a necessity, for the young
er members of the bar.
These forms are mainly if n t entirely,
such as have stood the test ofjuiieial cri'-
icisrn ; have been approved, and are there
fore. to be trusted. The author well says,
He must be a bold lawyer who would un
dertake* to prefer forms of his own make to
those which those which the Courts and
common usage have sanctioned. .
A critical examination of these forms
satisfies the writer that they are the best
collection r.c has ever seen. The book as
ad Yntire is well worthy the attention of all
lawyers and business men, young and old ;
to tho young—it will he ,a guide—to the
older a refresher of his learning.
It will be found, in the gtneral, a safe
guide to the man of business, when so sit
uated,- as he often is,that he cannot take le
gal advice.
