Mr. O’Neal presented a majority report, which
reads as follows:

We are constituted judges of both the l *w and

The questions in every case to be decided by
the House are these:
1st. Did the party, prior to the late war. as
a member of Congress, or as an officer of the
United States, or as a member of any State
Legislature, or as an executive or judicial offi
cer of any State, take an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States?

In a large majority of cases, the members
having, by their oaths, rendered themselves
clearly eligible, it was not thought necessary
to reduce their answers to writing, whilst, in a
number of cases in which the Committee had
doubts, it was thought advisable—all of which
will fully appear bv the affidavits herewith
presented. And we further recommend that
the final action of this House, together with
all the reports, as well as the affidavits, be i
transmitted without delay to His Kxcel'ency,
the Governor, that he may communicate the
same to the General Commanding.
In reference to such members us have not
beeo before the Committee, we can only say,
that we will report thereon as soon as possible.

Mr. Shumate offered a minority
which is as follows :
Mr. Speaker : Barring any discussion and
any expression of opinion as to the constitu
tionality of the Congressional reconstruction
scheme, or as to the propriety of applying the
tests prescribed in the 3d section of the pro
posed Constitutional Amendment, known as
Article 14, to officers and members of the Leg
islature of any State, before said amendment
has become a part of the organic law of »be
land, the undersigned, a minority of the Com
mittee raised by the House under a resolution
adopted on the 18th inst., respectfully submit
the following:
1st. That, in our opinion, members of State
Legislatures are not officers, in the meaning of
that term as it occurs in the Constitution of
the United States and the proposed amend
ment, and in the Reconstruction acts, aud that
ihe tests of eligibility to cilice prescribed in
said amendment cannot properly he applied to
members of this Hwuse ; hut as the General
commanding this Military District entertains a
different view of the iaw, and has directed us .
to act upon his view, we desire merely to raise lll | ca ® es hereinafter appearing
the point above made, and do not propose to Smnherrv’s exnosit.on of the R
discuss it in this report.
2d. Inasmuch as the right to vote under the
said Reconstruction laws is raorc restricted
than the right to hold office under said pro
posed amendment, and as all persons ert’uled
to vote under said laws are also entitled to
hold office under said proposed amendment:
and inasmuch as Boards of Registration were
appointed by order of said laws, whose prov
ince it was to admit parties to registration as
voters, upon their own oaths, scrutinized in (
the light of surrounding circumstances, and of
such additional testimony as might be adduced
in doubtful cases, and as those Boards perfect
ed their test3 of registered voters under the
Oireciiou aua t omrui or me oeuerai coiulu-*uu-
ing the District; and as those tests thus per
fected have been returned to the General com
manding, and after having been closely sifted
previous to the last two elections held in the
State, have been acquiesced in by the General
commanding as correct. It follows that as to
all registered voters, and we believe there are
no others claiming seats in the House, their
right to vote aud to hold office has been deter
mined affirmatively, and that, too, by the au
thority authorized by law to determine these
questions. These questions, then, having been
determined by the Board of Registration, who
went into the investigation in the communities
where the applicants for registration resided,
and where all the facts were ascertainable, we
are of opinion that the decisions arrived at by
said Board are greatly more reliable, and much
less likely to do injustice to parries than any
decision this House, with its limited means of
information, can reach: and that the decisions
of those Boards ought to be accepted as con
clusive, and ought not to be set aside without
proof most irrefragible and convincing, espe
cially when it is remembered that whenever a
decision of a Board of Registi ation is over
ruled by this House, perjury may be imputed
to the party declared ineligible. Moreover, it
is fair to presume that it was the conclusion
of those charged with the responsibil.tv of
executing the laws aforesaid, that the members
of the House to whom, on the 14th inst., was
administered the oath prescribed by law to be
taken by members of the Legislature, were _ ()
eligible to their seats, and that the solemn aud i couragemrot.

and have taken as our guide upon the law, the
exposition of the identical law under conside
ration, given by the highest law officer of the
Government, Attorney General Stanberry.—
We have selected this exposition because it
emanates from a legal mind entitled to the
highest respect, and a man whose official duty
:f was *o expound said law. Moreover, the
Congress of ihe United Slates having legislated
report ' u P ori Cue niatter since said opinion was pub-
’ lished, and not having seen fit to overrule it,
in the particulars upon which we rely, has in
effect admitted its correctness.
This opinion is sustained by all the elemen
tary law writers, and adjudicated causes to
which we iiave referred, and we are of opinion
that no reliable law writer can be found who
entertains a different opinion of the meaning
of the phtases engaging in rebellion and giv
ing ai.l and comfort to an enemy.
We may add J hat the majority have propos
ed no oilier exposition of the laws for our con
sideration, emanating from any source higher
than themselves. With all due deference to
their opinions, we prefer to recommend the
House to be governed by the opinion of a
great and pure lawyer aud statesman, sustain
ed by the ablest law writer of the age, than to
follow their own crude and imperfect concep
tions of an intricate and important law, or
even to be guided by the legal opinions of a
majority of yonr Committee.
We quote the sections of said opinion, ma
terial to a correct understanding of the law
to-wit,:—
(See Stanberry’s exposition of the Reconstruc
tion acts, section 16.)
Measured by this standard, no one of the
cases comes up to the idea of having given aid
and comfort to the enemies of the United
States. The facts of the case of Wm. T. Mc
Cullough, of Jones; J. M. Nunn, of Glascock;
and John Long, of Carroll.
In the case of John Long, we are glad to
state that Mr. A. H. Lee concurs in our opinion.
As the facts in the cases of the two gentlemen
first mentioned are dissimilar, of course we
should sever the cases under consideration,
and those who are declared ineligible are enti
tled to vote.
We recommend that the following resolu-
t,Io MO v,* ;«ft V*ft • l « " U ' oTl ♦ H XX J*
occur:
Resolved, That John Long, of the county of
Carroll, be declared eligible to a seat on this
floor.
Resolved, That Wm. T. McCullough, of the
county of Jones, be eligible to a seat on this
floor.
Resolved, That J. M. Nunn, of the county
of Glascock, be eligible to a seat on this floor.

Mr. Bryant presented another minority re
port which reads as follows:
Mr. Speaker: The undersigned, a minority
of the Committee to whom was referred the
investigation of the eligibility of members of
this House, beg leave to report:
That they find John Long, of Carroll county,
ineligible; and they submit the following rea
sons for their opinion, to-wit: Mr. Long, prior
to the late war. held the offices of Justice of
the Inferior Court and Clerk of the Superior
Court, aud took an oath »o support the Con

wi h a gentle movement and sound barely
audible.
Smith immediately landed, using so much
cautiou as to stop every third or fourth step
to listen if any noise betrayed the presence of
a foe. In the meantime, Jones pulled the
canoe up into a clump of bushes, hiding it
effectua.iy. He had barely finished when he
heard the sharp, whip-like crack of a rifle, and
looking around saw his companion some dis
tance from the shore lying apparently dead.—
For a single moment he thought of turning
and fighting his way to the inanimate body of
bis friend ; but an infernal yell, such as an
American savage alone can raise, proclaimed
the quick approach of the nearest of his ene
mies, and the instinct of life triumphed. Pre
paring himself duly, and giving the right
direction to its bow, he ran off into the water,
carrying the canoe before him, threw all his
strength and skill into one great effort and
cast himself forward so as to fall into the bot-
time he left his bed of pain and suffering, he
was all riirht in a metalic coffin.”
At last Mark gave up his penchant for the
accordeon, a.id from that day gave amateur
musicians a wide berth.
How Aquafortis Operated ox Old Joe.—
This old fellow had drank so much Jersey
lightning that nothing had ai.y effect on him.
One day he Went into the tavern, and seeing
nobody around and a black bottle standing on
the counter, lie took it up and drained it dry.
The landlord came in just then, and Joe walk
ed out and said nothing. Presently the bottle
was “xamined, and the landlord said.
Who emptied cut the aquafortis, I wonder?
Nobody knew ; but the stable boy declared
that he looked in at the door a while ago, and
seen old Joe draining the black bottle.
Landlord—If he drank that, he’s dead by
this time; run and find him at once.
The stable boy started out after Joe and

to regain breath and to cover his person from
the deadly rifle. The Indians were constantly
firing at him, but owing to the darkness were
notable to take accurate aim. Seeing this,
he raised himself upright and commenced
rowing rapidly He had pulled about a dozen
strokes when he became conscious that some
thing impeded his progress. Watching closely
for a few moments he discovered a large sav
age clinging to the bow of the cauce and try
ing to turn it from its course. Quietly contri
ving to seize his rifle he turned suddenly and
brought the butt down on the unprotected
head of the Indian who sank instantly. Then
pulling to the shore he started for the settle
ment, which he succeeded in reaching without
any further adventure, comfirming the report
and related the sad story of the death of bis
companion to his sorrowing friends.
The Indians had expected to take the set
tlers by surprise, and now knowing they had
been warned, and would be able to repel any
attack they could make, passed on to some
more unprotected settlement, where they could
fully satisfy their bloodthirsty desires.
In a few days Smith, in company with oth
ers, returned to the spot where the attack took
place, in search of his fellow companion
traces of his remains could be found,
boy—Hello, Joe, is that you?
Joe—Yes, I reckon.
Boy—Mr. Smith wants to know did you
drink the staff in the black bottle?
Joe—Wall, I did.
Boy—Well, then, it was aqoafortic, and it’ll
kill you.
Joe—No! was it though? I thought ft
tasted queer licker, and then as I came along
here, when I hlowed my nose, I’ll be darned if
my breath didn’t burn a hole in my pocket
handkercher.

Iceland Mice Carrying Food.—There are
some mice living in Iceland that are obliged,
like the harvest mouse, to store up food fof cite
winter time, and the food which they collect
is not easily found. It is a kind of berry
which does not grow everywhere; and some
times, to get enough, they have to swim across
broad rivers, and take very long journeys. It
is easy enough for them to-swim across these
rivers when they have nothing to carry; but
when they are going to return home, and have
all their berries with them, what are they to
do then? lam sure if the mice asked me
what they had better do, 1 do not think I could

Gen. Grant’s reputation is only the ghost of
what it was, and tbe P^dical party may as
well give op the gfcost.
We are authorized to say that Gen. Grant
will make no harangues thi3 summer. He will
smoke his cigar, and Colfax can take the stump.
Grant, when he was nominated at Chicago,
didn’t answer much, aDd the people are likely
do. A number of them, perhaps seven or
eight, choose a flat piece of dry earth, on
which they pile all their berries, making a
high heap of them. ’ Then they bring their
dish down to the river, pushing it with all
their might right into tbe water, and when it
is afloat they all get on, sitting in a circle
round the heap of berries, with their faffs
hanging into tbe water, and these they meve
so as to guide their fuony boat across the
water.
