THE ALABAMA ELECTIONS-EX-CON?
FEDERATES ELECTED.-The Mont'
gomery correspondent of the "Wash?
ington Chronicle says:
"The claims of the successful can?
didates were such as might have
been expected to be urged if the
Confederacy made good its establish?
ment. 'My services in the war, the
?wounds I have received, the sacrifices
I have made, entitle me to your
gratitude and your suffrage.' This
was the plea of the candidate, and thc
voters responded to it cordially at the
polls. The greatest tost of merit, the
highest standard of qualification, is to
have lost a leg or ?in arm, an eye or
a hand in arms against the Govern?
ment.
"The Provisional Governor, Mr.
Parsons, himself panders to his
knowledge of this fact, and goes out
of his way in his message to suggest
to the Legislature that especial care
must be taken of thc battle-fiags of
rebel regiments left in his possession,
which he calls 'sacred' souvenirs of
the courage and endurance of those
who went forth to battle under their
folds, and who manfully upheld them
with their life-blood.'"
