To Aspirants for Persons in Georgia .and the South, who are fretting theuiselYCH, the pb lie, or the printers, with aspirations for a seat in the congress of the USited States, would do well before they de termine to become candidates, to con sider whether they can conscientious ly take the oath, which by the statute of duly 2, ISO-, still in force, is re quired of every member of that body before he takes his seat. As the affi davit is long, we appeud only that part of it to which we particularly re fer, as follows : “I. , do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I have never voluntarily borne arms acrainst the l cited .States since I have been a citizen thereof ; that! have voluntarily given no aid, countenance, counsel or encourage ‘ n;ent to persons engaged in rawed hos tility thereto ; that I have neither fiouerht nor accepted nor attempted to exercise the functions of any office . whatever under any authority or pre tended authority in hostility to the •United States : that 1 have not yield’ ed a voluntary support to any preten ded government, authority, power, or constitution within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto. It mav be very safely asserted that •no Jilnrk iCpuhi tenn Confirms will ever repeal the law requiring this oath, and therefore no man who has voluntarily had act or part m the war can he representative or senator, or Hold any “other office of honor or prof it under the government of the Uni* ted States, either in the civil, military or naval departments of the public service,” for to this extent the act. goes, until the politics of the Congress are revolutionized. It. is therefore a matter of interest to all classes in the i South to elect Union men, for the present, and he who stands in the i way of it is simply trio dt sc. He I not* only fails to benefit himself, Or j the people, he inflicts a wound upon t both For the present it is clear that j . all who have given countenance, aid j or encouragement to the war, should stand aside. —Macron Telegraph. Important to Kxerntors. etc. t The Washington correspondent of the New York Express commumeat* s i the following points of an internal rev enue decision : | It is the duty of executors, admin istrators, etc., to render lists of the legacies to the assessors and assistant assessors of the district in which th.e deceased resided at the time of his death. If a party dies while tempo rarily absent from his home, the ini’ i mediate place o f his decease should | not be regarded, but his executors should make return to the assessor of > the district where he actually resided, j No distribution of legacies would be made (section 125) until the executor i returns the list and pays the tax. The j party liable to pay duty in respect to j any succession (see section 147 ‘i may j bt* either the successor himself or section 148) any person acting in his right or even in his own behalf. The duty of the successor or his agent is laid down in neetion 147, so far as ren - dering a list or schedule of succession is concerned. If the successor is voung or incapable, it will, of course devolve upon the agent, cxsgnnrdian or trustee to render the true and full account required by the terms of sec tion 147. By section 140, if any per son required to give an account of successions, wilfully neglect so to do for the period of ten days after noli* fication, he is liable to penalty, and by section 147, if no account of success .sion should be delivered to the assess or, he may assess the duty on the best information he may obtain: The duty tails due as soon as the successor or his representative for him becomes such in possession Important o the ofession. The National Intelligencer, of the 3d msi.. says : “Francis L. Smith. Esq., of ♦he Alexandria bar. having been pardon ed, argued in the United States district court, on Tuesday last, that the pardon ex onerated 1 him frmn taking anv test oath as a qualification* for practice, and that the opposite new would make the statute of Congress cz post fact o, and therefore un constitutional. Mr. Chandler, United States district attorney, replied : The court decided thnrihe act of Congress was mandatory, and thoagh it was impossible for Mr. Smith to take the oath, the court had not the power to dispense with the re quirement. It will be remembered that nudge Trigg:, of the United States Court Jf Tennessee, decided the other way. It is a question of great importance to the bar of the South, few of whom could take he prescribed oath.” !ely S'outbcrn (bnlcrjnist. j I.UCIUS e. BRYAN, EDITOR. TXXO II ABVILIjEi Gr iV . WEDNESDAY.
