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. (Signed) John W. O Neal, J. E. Bryant, Augustus H. Lee. 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. imposing ceremony of organizing the Hou under the eye of the General commanding was not a meaningless ceremony, but was a j sentiug f Treasu solemn adjudication of the eiiphilitv of each ‘ djd ' 4 , , vpport and member Whoapp,eased at | ^”oc/„nme„, ihieh « set „p in cordeon.

Smith directed j .udy s— Mrs. Murphy by name. He says: 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.)

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 stitution of the United States.

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 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?

No but 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 tell them.
