VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1141. CHARLESTON, fe. C., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, MX DOLLARS A YEAR BY TELEGRAPH. TUE TEST OATU. Opinion or Attorney Urnornl Ho*r OD tile Te?t Ont h in Virgin tr?. RICUMOHD, September a.- Tho following ia Altornoy-Goneral Hoar's opinion received thia morning by General Cauby : ATIOnNF.r-OZNEBAl/s OVFICE, ) Aug not 28. 1869. [ 2b Hon. John A. Raioiins, Secretary of War : Sin : I have the honor to aknowledge tho re? ceipt or your letter of July 27tb, 1869, in which yon request my opinion upon so much of the question submitted in ibo letter of the Com mandiDg-Qenera! of tho F?rst Military Diatrict, dated tho 16th inst., and accompanying pipers, copies of which aro indoaed.as refers to the le? gal qualifications of office ra to be oleo ted nuder the proposed Constitution of tho Stato of Vir? ginia, and especially upon tho question whether persona elected to office in anch Stat? nader said "^constitution are required by the supplemental Reconstruction act of July iE th, 1807, io take and subscribe to the oath proscribed or referr? ed to in section 9 of said act before entering upon the duties of their respective offices Tue latter question is tbs only one indicated with snoh' distinctness as to onablt* mo to be folly satisfied that its purport is apprehended, and I therefore confino my answer to that, Bv the statute of April lOtb, 1869. tho registered voters of Virginia were authorized to vote on the question of tho adoption of a constitution for tue Slate and at tbe same time to elect officers under it, subject to the approval ot Congress. The vote bas been taken in pur? suance of the provisions of the oat, and tho election held; and somo parts of tho constitution submitted have boon adopter! by the people and others rejected. Tb?parts of the proposed constitution thus adopted, if this should bo approved by Congresa, will be the Co nu ti tu tion ot Virginia, under which all its officeT will be required to act, and the qualifications as well as the duties of those officers will bo de? termined by it. When Virginia is restored to its proper relations to the country, as a Stat? of tho Union, its offioers and Legislature will be such as the Constitution of the State pro? vides, deriving their powers.from that instru? ment, and it will clearly uot ba in the power of Congress to impose any requirement of addi? tional quabficatiouB npon thom, different from those which, under the Constitution of tho United StateB, may bo required in all the States, if, therefore, any teats were to bc im? posed upon members of the Legislature, not provided by tho Constitution of Virginia, or any restriction imposed upon tho people of "tho State io their choteo of officers not re? cognized by it, and not made applica? ble under the If ultimate powors of Con .ress to all the States, tbe Legislature and officers would not. in my opinion, be the Legislature and officers or Virginia under its constitution. I do not sea that Congress eau under lake to furnish the State w.th a suitable Legislature to start with, or to exorcise any control over its composition which could not. bo exorcised over buhsoqaetit Logislatuics. I am, therefore, of opinion that tho oath pre? scribed by tho statuto of 1862, aud by. tbe statute of July 19, 1867, chapter 30, section 9. required to be taken by all persons elected or appointed- to office in said military districts, under any so-oallod H tate or municipal authori? ty, is not lo be required ot tho officers or tho Kt atc of Virginia or members or tho Legis? lature elected nuder tho new constitutiou. It does not eeom tc mo that tho pre? visions of this ninth section which are applicable to tho govern meat of the Stato under military authonty were intended to ap fily to tao Legislatura and offices under whom he Stale is to in restored to its proper rela? tions to the Union, and by whom ibo govern? ment of the Slate is to be administered after ita restoration. This opinion ie stronglv ?on-, firmed by a reference to the second section or the same act, which authorizes tho comman? der of any diBtriot named in the act to sus? pend or remove from office or from tho per? formance of official powers any officer or per? son holding or oxeroiaing, or profesaing to hold or exercise, any oivil or military office or duty in said district, under any power, elec? tion, appointment or authority derived from, or g anted by, or claimed under any eo-oaJlod State or the government thereof, and to detail a competent officer or soldier or tbe army to perform such duties. It would be impossible to suppose that Congress could intend that a Legislature under ibo constitution of a Slate, could have itB members appointed by a detail from soldiers of the ai my. Tbe only reasona? ble conclusion seems to mo to be that it was not intended that any snob Legislature should be allowed to exist and act until reconstruction waa completed, except for the limited and qual? ified purposes requisite to reconstruction. But, on the other hand, I fully concur witb the view of tho genetal commanding m Virginia, that under thc Reconstruction acta of Con? gress no officer or legislator is competent, or should be permitted to exercise any of the functions or power of bis offioo within that .State, except so far as thoso acts tbemaelVcB provide, without taking the oath which is re? ferred to in the Statute of 1867, above quoted. The act of April lOtb, 1869, requires the Legis ' lature to meet at a time whicu it designates. : That it is to meot, implies that it is to come to ' get her for some purpose. It is requir? ed under the previous law to act upon the question of adopting the Fourteenth amendment to tho Constitution ot tho United States boforo 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 that amend? ment; but that until Congress shall have ap? proved the constitution "and the action under It, and shall have restored the btato to its pro? per place in the Union, by recognizing its form of government as republican, and admitting it to representation, the Legislature ia not en? titled and could no', without violation of law, be allowed to transact any bualnob? or pass any aub or resolve or undertake to assumo any other function of a Legislature if tho test oath has not been roquired of its member*, and that no officer elected under the new constitu? tion can enter upon tbo duties of his office without taking the oath while military gov? ernment continues. Very respectfully, E. R. HOAB, Attoraey-GoueroJ. General-Canby will iasho his proclamation of elootion about tho 16th ina tant. He is de? layed by disputed returns from one county. State officers will be installed on the assemb? ling of the Legislature. HOI FOB CUBA.

THE ENGLISH FBES8 AND THE BTOWX-BTBON *V SCANDAL. LoNDOH.Beptotn'J?r 9.-The London TimeB to? day bu an editorial o n the n rt icio in tho Atlantic Monthly by Mrs. Stowe, in relation to Lord and Lady Byron. The writer, ofter commenting on the character and position of Lord Byron, con? siders Mrs. Stowe's story a faithful reproduc? tion of Lady Byron's statement to her solici? tors. Tho latter do not hesitate in manifesting a desire to disoredit, hjf# do not contradict the. story, lt is imposslbleibat Mrs. Stowe under? stood once and forgot afterwards the substan? tial part of the statement, bat it is perfectly possible and probable that the wife waa a vic? tim of delusion. Vfe can Hud nothing incom? patible with such hypothesis. On the cont ro? ry, the story unintentionally confirme it. We havo vainly searched to seo what Lord Byron said and did to confirm suspicions of Raitt, and only find vagne expressions that the wife was folly convinced. Tho fact is startling, bnt not Ices 60 when we remember that she thought bim insane. Wo oanncJ* .cxnjr.cture bow bis wife came to entertain tbe suspicion, bnt can easily understand bow, once entertaining it, abe first imposed on herself, and then on Mrs 8towe. It would only be what thousand*) of unhappy wives have dono before, to have sus? picions of exceptional enormity. This quite accounts for doubts of ber husband's sanity. The Fall Mall Gazette OD this subject says: "Whatever may be tho reasons that determin? ed Wentworth and bis sister to postpone the publication of Lady Byron's papers, Mrs. Stowe cannot be such a serious off?ndor, if tho grandchildren seriously, thought of printing them. The solicitors, in th ci*- letter recently published, mako no charge of inaccuracy, bnt of incompleteness^ Tbe inference is that Mrs. Stowe's statement is correct, but moro romaine to be told." v The Morning Post also bas an article OD tbe question, wherein tbe writer eave: "As Lady Byran's will committed ber papers to the care' of trustees under certain conditions, and os Mrs. Stowe was not one, ber story is entirely gratuitous and unaalbonzod. She bas com? mitted a breach of confidence- reposed in her, and ibo offence, hy her ow. chowing, docs not admit of extenuation. There was no error of judgment in tho matter. It lb for Mrs. Stowe to explain her motives, it does not signify whether Mrs. Stowo was ignorant of the terms of the w;ll or not. The violation of confidence, outrage on the dead, and disregard of feelings of the living, aro tho same. Sho ought to know the public confidence cannot be offended with impunity." THE TIMl'-t? AND N/ l'OLKON. LONDON, September 3.-A correspondent in to-day's l'imes, speaking of calamity in tho colton trade, mi vs it nae owing to Ibo increaso of tho consuming power at a lime when thc raw material was decreasing. He argues that it would bo folly m American planters to grow five millions of bales at duuUe tho expense of ! land and labor, when tho samo, profit will bo realized from half that amount. He is certain a well arranged trial must convince tho spin? ner of tho benefit of co-oporating in growing. TL- Timos t\j? tbc ic iii*:**;: ?z: ?f th'o'E> peror is a gain for tbe people. It has made them feel that nations'must survive- individu? als, and their destinies must not hang on*one life. It will be the Emperor's fault if his in? disposition be not a gain for himself and his dynasty. Ho must suffer no relapse to find him unprepared. He must admit the possi? bility of the world's going on without bim, and honestly endeavor to set it going. To achieve this be bas only to make good Prince Napo? leon's words, and must bose thc empire on a policy unreservedly liberal. PBIM AND NAPOLEON.

District Court for the Western District ot Mouth C avro lin a-August Teran, 1889. I rao it ora owit coaazBPOHDEirr.J TWENTIETH DAI'S PROCEEDINGS. Gn?ENVILLE, 8. C., September 2.-Tho fol? lowing is the presentment of the grand jury: IN THE DIBIH1CT COURT OE THE UNITED STATES, FOB THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF SOUTH CARO? LINA. To the Hon. George S. Bryan, Judge of the aforesaid court: Tho grand jury of the said court, foi the Au3nst term of 1889, respectfully present that, in accordance with your Honor's instructions, they have visited the county prison and are pleased to dud that tho persons confined there? in are kindly oared for by the Jailor. The com? fort of the priSODCIi 'io'.YOvor, Wlli require, tbtfct more blankets and mattresses oe provided, and that fuel and lights should be supplied to them. Tho prison IB necessarily close, and, in its present crowded condition, can with diffi? culty be kept in good order. 'Ibo com? fort, cleanliness and good health Ot tho placo would bo Imorovcd by tho uso of limo as a disinfectant. Tbo grand jury would therefore recommend that a sufficient quantity, to bo used for this parpase, is fur? nished tho jailor. 'J be por diem allowed the tailor for dieting the prisoners is considerably less than that allowed by tho Stato for like pur? poses, and at tbo present pric?B of provisions is tJO small to remunerate the jailor for fur? nishing sufficient and wholesome food. Tho kitchen and smoke-houses connected with the Jail they dod to bo ia a dilapidated condition, and wholly insufficient for tba purposes for winch they aro intended. The grand Jury res? pectfully present that in their judgments hu? manity as well as tho public eorvice requires that the county jail should be enlarged or that a separate prison should bo erected for the use ot the United States. They would diso respect? fully ask of the Congress, an appropriation o f money from tho public treisury, for tho build? ing of a suitable courthouse in this oily, lor the uso ot this court, and tor the creation of a convenient postoffice. Tho grana jury aro happy to be a bio to con? gratulate the court, and especially the county, upon tho quiet and order which prevails throughout tho Stato. Though a great revolu? tion bas shaken the very foundations of so? ciety, and war has been accompanied with that demoralization which is tn sopa rabio from strife, tho clicoriulncss wich which tho people have returned to tho necessary labor and vocations of life; the patieuce with wbiob they seem to 00 striving by honest industry to repair their brokbn lorluneSi and their ready obedience to the laws, furnish a gratifying assurance that the demoralization of war waa bnt a transient blight, and that they deserve to possess, aa their fathers deserved and possessed, the full powers of self-government. Seeing that the people still retain and cher? ish that love of order and obedience to law whioh has so long distinguished the Anglo Saxon race, and tilted its sons to achieve, enjoy and perpetuate the largest liberty; con? scious that no roaaon any longer exists why tho most cordial and fraternal feelings should not unite the people of every section of tho Union in the enjoyment of a oommon country, a common constitution, and tho blessings of umform and righteous laws, the grand jury venture to express tho hope that the disfran? chisement which bas oppressed so many of Ibo wisest and most patriotic of our citizens, and deprived tho Slate of their valuable services, may be speedily removed; and the grand jury most rea peel fully request i bono gentlemen who have Bought and have undertaken the honora? ble and responsible offico of representing the people ol the State in the Congress of tho United States to use every honest means which their high position may bestow upon them, to accora fihsli speedily this desired end. Feeling that ne virtue and efficacy of legislation must al? ways depend mainly upon tho existence of a perfect accord between the people and thoso who undertake to represent thurn in their Legislatures and in Congress, tho grand jury most fervently hope that no personal influence or party exigency will ever enable any ambi? tious aspirant to take a seat iu their Legisla toro, or in the Congress to which he has not been elevated by a majority of the legal voters. Every lover of republican institutions must feeltbe importance of preserving the parity of elections; nono but 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 the npple. The grund jury cannot closo their present? ment without expressing their obligations to his Honor, tho presiding Jadge, for the kind attention whioh he bas bestowed npin them, the patience with which he has from time to time instmoted them in their duty, and re-: lieved them by bis clear expositions of the law of muob of the difficulties before tbem. All of which is most respectfully submitted: Julius C. Smith, foreman; Willis Chandler, John Oroce. W. B. Oreen, John Doylo. P. J. Goodlett. William Cunningham, James O. Foster, J. M. Westmoreland, Samuel S. Gibbs, J. L. Cothran, Clayborne Trammed, Carter Tanner, Trcdwell Vaughn. B. 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 exaot statement will be lurnlshed for to-morrow's issue. THJB POLITICAI, SITUATION. Massachusetts to be Throws Overboard. The Washington correspondent of the Bal? timore Gazette, writing on tho 3d, gives an interesting sketch of the political situation. He says : I telegraphed s week ago rumors of a dis agroem mt botween President Grant and Secre? tary Bou two ll. Further development 6 moro than confirm tbeso rumora. It ls now quito oertain that, after auch vacillation, the Presi? dent will finally out loone from tbo ultra Radi? cal wing. Under Boat troll's gaidancohe sees nothing but defoat staring him tn the face. Loukat tho result in -Virginia and in Tonbes? see! It is not considered good generalship to change front In face of tho enemy,.but there really seems no other course to pursue. On tho ono ' -hand ' there ls certain defoat. On the other-perhaps defeat 'also; bat it 1? thought advisable to try a oh an KO of taotios, even though it be bnt a forlorn hope. Massachusetts will no longer be permitted to co al roi the government.. Boutwell will have abnndant le'saie to matnr? h?? presidential schemes in Boston, and Hear can rest on bia laurels as a lawyer who manufactures parti? san opinions, regardless of law or facts. Wil? son will havo to run hi? raes for the United States Senate against tho wily Bailor, without bankets; and Sumner, not being able to fur? ther mar, or meddle in, our foreign affairs, will have ap opportunity to. Jook into dornest? affaira, of which he will no doubt avail him? self. It must not be inferred that the mil? lennium bis arrived. The Presldont has sim? ply had to give way boforo the inevitable logie of facie. r Ho BOOS that the BoutweI lit?s will aa surely be defeated In Texas and HiatTsalppl ss they were in Virginia and Tennessee; and aa the Conservative Republicans promise to sup? port his policy-a rash promise, it moat be confessed, aa the waya of his policy are past Anding out-be thinks ita? well to bo on the winning tide. it AUX rr a TJ L, COURT. A correspondent of the Augusta Constitu? tionalist givoB this pleaiaut account of the officers ia attendance" at Barnwell court : Colonel N. O. W. Walker is tao sheriff. We are informed be ta an excellent /ifflcer, and es? teemed by the bar for his prompt attention to business and uniform politeness. He is a na? tive of the district, and was a^good sheriff in the olden time. Captain W. 8. Nooland is the clerk of tho court. Ho is also said to be a good officer-is polite to the bar and the people, and attentive to his dutisB. He ts a oarpet-bagger, and comes from Massaobneetts. Hr. J. N. Tea?no ls tho Probate Judso. The jurisdiction of this court has been very mach enlarged by the new Legislature, and I am in? formed Mi. Teague gives general satisfaction. He is a native, sad resided in Edgefleld before he carno to Barnwell. Conversing with Judge Aidrioh, he remarked that the distriot bad been verv fortnnate in obtaining man co woll qualified, and who are disposed to adminiator their offices for the benefit of the country. He aaid he had not ebner vc d or heard Of any ex toi t ion or oppres? sion by tho officers, and no attributed it alto? gether to the fact, with ono exception, that they were natives, who bad hjrrotoforo occu? pied a good BI ci al position, tn Td it was luoky for the people they were able tb take the oath of office r. quired. Talking to the lawyers and the people goner ally, I came to tho conclusion that they were all very mnoh disgusted, and looked upon the court BB ft mere farco, and a perfect caricature of Jostico as heretofore administered in youth Carolina.

To the People of South Carolina: The abovo Company waa organzed in 1800, in cons?quence of the wholesalo forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. Thc unparalleled success of the enterprise has forced several of these companies lo restore their Soul era policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without tbe appearance of honesty. We keep nil our money at home to baild up our impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in the State lrr>m wblch it is de? rived. The instituUoo ts purely Southern, and heneo shou'd appeal with great force to tbe patriotism and and sympathy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make wir on other com? panies, but to exhibit the special advantage* offered by this purely Southern Company-founded on patriot! ,m and solid wealth. Its ratio of assois to liabilities-thc true test of a company's strcogth-ls second to none on this continent, belo? nearly $300 to S)00. Whenever and wherever we bavo presented the claims of this Company, it ha< not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, but hos also secured their hearty co-operation. Wc have secured COO policies In Month Carolina since tho loth of february. Wo number among our Directors General Wade Hamp? ton, and colonel Wm.
