RICHMOND, September 4.-The following ia Attorney-General Hoar's opinion received thia morning bj General Canby : A TT OUNI?-G ETF.RAT. '8 OFFICE, j August 28,1869. | 3b Hon. John ?. Ravolinst Secretary of War . Sra : I have the honor U, aknowledge the re? ceipt of your letter of Joly 27th, 1869, in which yon request my opinion upon so mach of the question submitted in the letter of tbe Com ?oanding-General of the Firs*; Military District, dat ed the 16th inst., and accompanying pipers, copies of which are inclosed,sB refers to the le? gal qualifications of officers to be cl ' ,f'.d under the proposed Constitution of the st:: io of Vir? ginia, and especially upon the quee..ou whether persons elected to office in such St at ? under said constitution are required by the supplemental Reconstruction act of July 19th, 1867, to take jand subscribe to the oath prescribed or referr? ed to in section 9 of said act before entering upon tbe duties of their respective offices The latter question is the only one indicated with such distinctness as to enable me to be fully satisfied that its purport is apprehended, and I therefore confine my answer to that. By tbe statute of April 10th, 1869. the registered voters of 'Virginia were authorized to vote on the question of the adoption of a constitution for tue State and at the same time to elect officers under it, snbkot to the approval of Congress. The vote has been taken in pur? suance of the provisions of the act, and the election held; and some parts of the constitution submitted have bsen adopted by the people and others rejected. The parts of the proposed constitution thus adopted, if this should be approved by Congress, will be the Constitu? tion of Virginia, under which all its officers will be required to act, and the qualifications as well as the duties of those officers will be de? termined by it. When Virginia is restored to its proper relations to the country, as a State of the Union, its officers and Legislature will be such as the Constitution of tbe State pro rides, deriving their powers from that instru? ment, and it will clearly not be in the power of Congress to impose any requirement of addi? tional qualifications apon them, different from those which, under the Constitution of the United States, may be required in all the States. . If, therefore, any tests were *o be im? posed upon members of the Legislature, not provided by the Constitution of Virginia, or any restriction imposed anon the people of the State in their choice of officers not re-, cognized by it, and not made applica? ble under the legitimate powers ol Con gres? to al! the States, tbe Legislature and officers would not. m my opinion, be tho Legislature and officers ot Virginia under its constitution. I do not see that Congress can undertake to furnish the State with a suitable Legislature to start with, or to exercise any control over its composition which could not be exercised over bubsoquetit Legislators. I therefore, of opinion that the oath pre? scribed by the statute of 1862, and bv the Htatnte ot July 19,1867, chapter SO, section 9. required to be taken by dil persone elected or appointed to office in said military districts, under any so-called State or municipal authori? ty, is not to be required ot the officers of the State of Virginia or members of the Legis? lature elected under the new constitution. It does not seem to mo that the pre? visions of this ninth section which are applicable to ibe government of the State undur military authority were intended to ap? ply to tue Legislature and offices under whom the State is to be restored to its proper rela? tion'} to the Union, and by whom tbe govern - ment of the State is to be administered after its restoration. This opinion is strongly con- - firmed by a reference to the second section of the same sot, which authorizes the comman? der of any district named in the act to sus? pend or remove from office or from the per? formance of official powers any officer or per? son holding or exercising, or professing to hold or exercise; any civil or military office or dnty m said district, under any power, elec? tion, appointment or authority derived from, or g anted by, or claimed nader any so-called State or the government thereof, and to detail s competent officer or soldier of the army to perform such duties. It would be imposai ole to suppose that Congress could intend that s Legislature under i be constitution of a State, could have its members appointed by a detail from soldiers of the army. The only reasona? ble conclusion seems to me to bo that it was not intended that any snob Legislature should be allowed to exist and act until reconstruction was completed, except for the limited and qual? ified purposes requisite to reconstruction. But, on the other band, I fully concur with the view of the general commanding in Virginia, that under the Reconstruction acts ot Con? gress no officer or legislator is competent, or should be permitted to exercise any of the functions or power of bis office within that State, except so far as those acts themselves provide, without taking the oath which is re? ferred to in the Statute of 1867, above quoted. The act of April 10th, I860, requires the Legis? lature to meet at a tims whicu it designates. That it is to meet, implies tbat it is to come to? gether for some purpose. It is requir? ed under the previous law to act upon the question of adopting tho Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the ? United States before the admission of the State to representation in Congress. I am of the opinion, therefore, that it may come to? gether, organize and act upon tbat amend? ment; ont that until Congress shall have ap? proved the constitution and the action under it, and shall have restored the state to its pro? per place in tbe Union, by recognizing its form of government as republican, and admitting it to representation, the Legislature is not en? titled and could not, without violation of law, be allowed to transact any business or pass any act or resolve or undertake to assume any other function of a Legislature if the test oath bas not been required of its members, and that no officer elected under the new constitu? tion can enter upon the duties of his office without taking toe oath while military gov? ernment continues. Very respectfully, E. R. HOAB, Attorney-General. General-Canby will issne hie proclamation of election about the 15th instant. He is de? layed by disputed returns from one county. State officers will be installed on tho assemb li?g of the Legislature. HO! FOB CUBA.

THE ENGLISH PRESS AND THE 8T0WE-B1 SCANDAL. LoNDON.September 8.- The London Time day bas an editorial on tbe article in tbe Atla Monthly by Mrs. Stowe, in relation to Lord Lady ByroD. Tbe writer, after commentin; the character and position of Lord Byron, i aiders Mrs. Stowe's story a faithful repwx tion of Lady Byron's statement to her so tors. The latter do not hesitate in manifes a desire to discredit, but do not contradict story. It is impossible that Mrs. Stowe nm stood once and forgot afterwards the subs tia! part of tbe statement, but it is perfe possible and probable that the wife was a tim of delusion. We eau flod nothing inc? patiblc with such hypothesis. On the com ry, the story unintentionally confirms it. bave vainly searched to see wbat Lord By: said and did to confirm suspicions of guilt, i only find vague expierons that tbe wife i fully convinced The fact is startling, but less eo when wo remember that she thou him insane. Wo cannot conjecture how wife came to entertain the suspicion, but i easily understand how, once entertaining she first imposed on herself, and tben on 1 Stowe. It would only be wbat thousands unhappy wives have done before, to bave s picions of exceptional ^enormity. This qc accounts for doubts of ber husband's sanity The Pall Mall Gazette on this subject sa "Whatever may be the reasons that dsterm ed Wentworth and his sister to postpone 1 publication of Lady Byron's papers, M Stowe cannot be such a serious offender, if t grandchildren seriously thought of printi them. Tho solicitors, in thei** letter recen published, make no charge of iua:curacy, b of incompleteness. Tbe inference is that M: Stowe's statement ie correct, but fiore remai to be told." Tbe Morning Poet also has an article on t question, wherein the writer save: "As La Byron's will committed ber papers to the ca of trustees under certain conditions, and Mrs. Stowe was not one, ber story is entir< gratuitous and unauthorized. She bas coi mitted a breach of confidence reposed in b< and the offence, by her own showing, docs n admit of extenuation. lhere was no error judgment in toe matter. It is for Mrs. Stoi to explain her motives. It does notsigni whether Mrs. Stowe was ignorant of the ten of the will or not. The violation of confident outrage on the dead, and disregard of feelin of the living, are tbe same. She oustit know tbe public confidence cannot be offendi with impunity." THE TIMES AND NAPOLEON. LONDON, September 3.-A correspondent to-day's Times, speaking of calamity in tl cotton trade, says it was owing to the increa< of the consuming power at a time when tl raw material was decreasing. He argues thi it would be folly in American planters to gro five millions of bales at double the expense < land and labor, when the same profit will I realized fiom half that amount. Ho is certai a well arranged trial must convince the spit uer of the benefit of co-operating in growing. The Times says the indisposition of the ? ri peror is a gain for the people. It bas mad tbem feel that nations must survive individu als, and their destinies must not hang on on life. It will be the Emperor's fault if his is disposition be not a gain for himself and bi dynasty. He must suffer no relapse to fini him unprepared. He rou3t admit the posai biliiy of the world's going on without bim, ant honestly endeavor to set it going. To achievi this he bas only to make good Prince Napo leon's words, and most base the empire on i policy unreservedly liberal. PRIM AND NAPOLEON. MADRID.

Proceedings of the United States District Court for the Western Dis tri et of South Carolina-August Term, 1869. ?FROM O?B OWN CORRESPONDENT.J TWENTIETH DAV'S PBOCEEDINOS. G BIENVILLE, S. C., September 2.-The fol? lowing is the presentment of the grand jury: TN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, FOB THE WE8TEBN DISTRICT OF SOUTH CARO? LINA. To the Hon. George S. Bryan, Judge of the aforesaid court: The grand jury of the said court, foi tho August term of 1869, respectfully present that, in accordance with your Honor's instructions, they have visited tbe county prison and are pleased to hod that the persons confined there? in are kindly cared for by thc jailor. The com? fort of tbe prisoners, however, will require that more blankets and mattresses oe provided, and that fuel and lights should be supplied to them. The prison ?H necessarily close, and, in its present crowded condition, can with diffi? culty be kept in good order, i he com? fort, cleanliness and good health of the place would be imnroved by the use of lime au a disinfectant. The grand jury would therefore recommend that a sufficient quantity, to be used for this purpose, is fur? nished tbe jailor. J he per diem allowed the jailor for dieting the prisoners is considerably less than th it allowed by tho Stale for like pur? poses, and at the preseat pric?s of provisions ist vi small to remunerate tho jailor f jr fur? nishing sufficient and wholesome food. The kitchen ami smoke-houses connected with the jail tbey find to be in a dilapidated condition, and wholly insufficient for the purposes for which they aro intended. Tho grand jurv res? pectfully present that in their judements hu? manity as well as the public service requires that the county jul should bo enlarged or that a separate prison shoulu bo erected for the use ol the United States. They would also respect? fully ask ot the Congress, an appropriation o f money from the public troihury, tor tho build? ing of a suitable courthouse in thia ?itv. lor tho use of this court, and tor tbe erection of a convenient postoffice. i be grana jury are happy to be ab!o to con? gratulate the court, and especially the- county, upon tho quiet and order which prevails tbrou2hont thc State. Though a great revolu? tion ha? shaken the very foundations of so? ciety, and war has been accompanied with that demoralization which is inseparable from strife, the cheerfulness with which the people have returned to the necessary labor and vocations of life; the patience with which they seem to be striving by honest industry to repair their broken fortunes, and their ready obedience to thc laws, furnish a gratifying assurance that tho demoralization of war was bul a transient blight, and that they deserve to posse an, as their fathers deserved and possessed, the full pow. rs of self-government. Seeing that the people still retain and cher? ish that love of order and obedience to law which has BO long distinguished the Anglo Saxon race, and fitted its sonn to achieve, enjoy and perpetuate the larc est liberty; con? scious that no reason any longer exists why the most cordial and fraternal feelings should not UDite the people of every section of the Uniou in the enjoyment of a common country, a common constitution, and the blessings of umform and righteous laws, the grand jury venture to express the hope that the disfran? chisement whtcii ha? oppressed so many of the wise-stand most patriotic of oar citizens, and deprived the State of their valuable services, may bo speedily removed; and the grand jury most respectfully request those gentlemen who havo sought and have undertaken the honora? ble and responsible office of repre-?ontiDg the people of the State in the Congress of the United States to ase every honest mentis which their high position may bestow upon them, to accom? plish speedily this desired end. Feeling that tho virtue and efficacy of legislation must al? ways depend mainly upon thc cxisteuce of a perfect accord between the people and those vho undertake to represent thurn in their Legislatures and in Congress, tho grand jury most fervently hope that DO personal influence or party exigency will ever enable aay ambi? tious aspirant to take a scat in their Legisla? ture, or in the Congress to which bc has not been elevated by a majority of thc legal voters. Every lover of repub ican institutions must feel the importance of preserving the purity of election.*; none bat the bad could desire to cor? rupt or degrade the ballot, or to accept a posi? tion of honor and trust without tho sanction of the virtue and intelligence of tho people. The grand jury cannot close their present? ment without expressing their obligations to his Honor, thc presiding Judgo, for thc kind attention which be has bestowed upm them, the patience with which te bas from time to time instructed them in their duty, and re? lieved them by his clear expositions of the law of much of th? difficulties bet?re them. All of which is most respectfully submitted: Julius C. Smith, foreman; Willis Chandler, John Croce. W. B. Green, John Doyle. T. J. Goodlett. William dunningham, Jamos C. Foster, J. M. Westmoreland, Samuel S. Gibbs, J. L. Cothran, Clayoorue Tram mell. Carter Tanner, Tredwell Vaughn. S. L. Robinson, J. W. Rodgers, M. Shelton, B. B. Glenn. I forbear giving you even an epitome of Judge Bryan's remarks at the conclusion of the presentment, as I feel assured a full and exact statement will be turnished lor to-morrow's issue. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Massachusetts to be Thrown Overboard. The Washington correspondent of the Bal? timore Gazette, writing on the 3d, gives aa interesting sketch, of the political situation. He Baye : I telegraphed a week a?o rumors ofadis agreeni nt between President Grant and Secre? tary Boutwcll. Farther developments moro than confirm these rumors. It is now quito certain that, alter much vacillation, the Provi? dent will finally cut loose from the ultra Radi? cal wiug. Under Dont well's guidance he secs nothing but defeat staring him in the face. Look at tho result in Virprinia an<l in Tennes? see ! lt is not considered good Generalship to change front in face of the enemy, but there really seems no other course to pursue. On thc one hand there is certain defeat. On the other-perhaps defeat also; but it is thought advisable to try a change of tactics, even though it be but a forlorn hope. Massachusetts will no longer be permitted to control the government. Boutwell will have abundant leis ne to mature his presidential schemes in Boston, and Hear can rest on bis laurels as a lawyer who manufactures parti? san opinions, regardless of law or facts. Wil? son will have to run his race for the Uaited States Senate against the wily Butler, without backets; and Sumner, not being able to fur? ther mar, or meddle in, our foreign affairs, will have an opportunity to look into domestic affairs, of which he will no doubt avail him? self. It must not bo inferred that the mil? lennium has arrivo.1. The President bas sim? ply had to give way beforo the inevitable logic of facts. He sees that the Boutwellites will as surely be defeated in Texas and Mississippi as they "were in Virginia and Tennessee; and as the Conservative Republicans promise to tup port bis policy-a rash promiee, it must be confessed, as tho ways of his policv are past finding out-be thinks it as well to be OD thc winn'Dg side. BARNWELL COUBT. A correspondent of tbe Augusta Constitu? tionalist gives this pleasaut account of the officers ia attendance at Barnwell court : Colonel N. G. W. Walker is the sheriff. We are informed he is an excellent officer, and es? teemed by the bar for his prompt attention to business and uniform politeness. He is a na? tive of the district, and waa a good sheriff in the olden time. Captain W. 8. Neeland is the clerk of the court. He is also said to be a ~x>d officer-is polite to the bar and the people, and attentive to his duties. He ie a carpet-bagger, and comes from Massachusetts. Mr. J. N. Teague is the Probate Jodee. The jurisdiction of this court bas been very much enlarged by the new Legislature, and I am in? formed Mr. Teagne gives general satisfaction. He is a native, and resided in ridgefield before he came to Barnwell. Conversing with Judge Aldrich, he remarked that the district bad boen verv fortunate in obtaining men so well qualified, and who are disposed to administer their offices for the benefit of the country. He said be had not observed or heard of any extortion or oppres? sion by the officers, and ho attributed it alto? gether to the tact, with one exception, that they were natives, who bad heretofore occu? pied a good social position, and it was lucky for the people they were able to take the oath of office required. Talking to the lawyers and the people gener? ally, I came to the conclusion that they were all very much disgusted, and looked upon the court as a mere farce, and a porfect caricature of justice as heretofore administered in south Carolina. Poor old Statel grand in ber pover? ty and misfortunes, how bravely do her people endure the humiliations heaped upon tbeml SOUTH CAROLINA. TOLBERT AGAIN. The Abbeville press says : "A friend writes ns from Greenwood that Tolbert has again made his appearance in that vicinity, and seems to be more afraid o' the oitizens than of tho State constabulary. Our ft ?end' thinks be bas been commissioned to 'nose-up' tho trail of Randolph's murderers. Sombody baa bul a talk with Tolbert, and reports that the out? law expresses some surprise that Hubbard offers tho reward for bm apprehension-wants to know whether Hubbaid can bind the State thinks that Scott should havo offered tho re? ward-says he was offered $1000 to convict Borne of the loading mon of Abbeville, Ac, Ac. Tolbert is entirely unworthy of credit, and his testimony pro or con should not have a feath? er's weight." THE WEATHER IN ORANGBBU.HO. I Tho Newe says : "8ince the copions rains of Monday night, tbe weather bas been pleas? antly cool, reminding one of tbe ond of sum? mer. TliicKer clothing and blankets havo sug? gested themselves and have been adopted. Peculiarly refreshing is this little cool snap after the very heated term wo havo just passed through. A great many bales of new cotton have come in town during the week. The crop is being rapidly gathered end will soon bc turned into money." ITU EIDER ly CH TS TE II FI ELD. The Democrat says : ''Yesterday a little ne? gro boy of about 10 or 12 years of age was brought herc under arrest, from tho ncighboi hood of Cash's Depot, tor having killed a little girl, his cousin, only 6 years old. He delibe? rately stripped himself to kill her and avoid getting the tell-tale blood on his clothing, and then put thc body in a pond of water to con? ceal it." BOBBERIES IN OLOROETOWN. The Times Bays : "Wo continue to hear of several robberies of heu roosts. There seems to be an organized gang ot thieves engaged in this business, which wo trust will, ere long, find quarters in tbe penitentiary, and benefit tho State bv their industry in that wholesome institution." JAIL BREAKING, The Barnwell Journal says: "On Wednes? day last, as Len ia JUeRio, or**?? th? ooloiod jail-keepors, was carrying dinner into one of the rooms of the jail at Barnwell, some half dozen colored prisoners, wbo were confined in the room, ran by him as be opened the door, and went down to tbe outer door, bnt finding that locked begun to make the utmost en? deavors to break it down. They succeeded in partially forcing it open, bnt A. Bond, tbe white iail-keepor, being on tho spot, bad given the alarm, and in a fow moments 8benff Walker, J. S. Brown, Esq., and a ba if dozen freedmen, leached tho jail, and the prisoners were all eecured." HOUSE BU BN ED. TheLaureosville Herald say*: "Wo regret to have to record the burniug of tbe substan? tial residence of Captain N. 0. Kennedy, two miles from this vihage, ou Wednesday night last. The fire wus JRscovcrod by the sleeping inmates at ll o'clock having, it is thought, originated from the cooking-stove. We learn tba', the contents were almost entirely de? stroyed." SHREDS OF STATE NEWS. For three days Chesterfield has had more pleasant weather. Tho nights and mornings sometimes cool enough tor a little fire or thick? er clothing. The coru and rice crop* in Harry are gene? rally very poor; now nnd then may be found flourish-in? patches, especially BO in tbe imnic diato vicinity of Comrayboro'. iho cotton ia very good.

He has left behind him un unstained record, at'd bis memory will ever b* hon? ored and cherished by a large circle of mourning and admiring iriends.

Thc body, deprived by the burn? ing temperature of July end August of much of its vigor and elastic ty, is not in a proper plight to re? als', malaria; and hence all diseases that are pro? duced by a depraved condition of thc atmosphere aro pardcularly prevalent in the fall.

To the Peoplt of South Carotina: The above Company was or.'an zed in 16CG, in consequence of thc wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. Thc unparalleled success of the enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their Sont' ern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the appearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to bnild up our impoverished country-every dollar of premium teing safely invested in the State irom which it is de? rived. The institution ls purely Southern, and hence shon'.d appeal with great force to the patriotism and and sympathy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com? panies, but to exhibit the special advantages off. red by thia purely Southern Company-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-thc true test of a company's strength-ls second to none on this continent, boin; nearly $300 to $100. Wnenever and wherever we have prescuted the claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, but has also secured their hearty co-operation. We have secured 600 policies in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We number arnon;; our Directors General Wade Hamp? ton and Colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina. We ap? peal personally to the people of South Carolina to assist in pushing forward this deservedly popular Southern institution. J.

Solomon's Bitters are not of the flashy style, de? pending upon large advertising, bought pnffs and fictitious recommendations for a sale to a gullible public. Their composition is well known to and ap? proved by many of our best physician11, and the pro? prietors depend upon the intrinsic merits of their medicine to make lt as popular as it is curative. They do net pretend to oller a medicinal prepara? tion that will cure all the ills that flesh is heir lo, but they do contend that the judicious use of these Bitlers will greatly alleviate human suffering, and bring very many to a state of comparative health who have lon; been strangers to that errat blessing.
