Canby: ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D. C., August 28, 1869. To the HON. JOHN A. RAWLINS, Secretary of Wetr.' ' ' Sm: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yonr letter of July 27, 1869, iu which yon request my opinion - upon so much of the questions submit? ted7 .iii'the .letter of the . Commanding Gennral of the First Military District, dated 10th inst., and accompanying pa pors,.copies of which nco enclosed, as re? fers tb the legal qualifications of officers td be elected under the proposed Consti tution of the State of Virginia, and es pecinlly upon the question whether per eon's elected to office in such State under said Constitution are required by the supplemental Reconstruction Act of July 19, 1867, to take and subscribe tho oath prescribed or referred to in Section 9 of said Aot before entering upon tho duties bf their respective offices. The latter question is the only one indicated with such distinctness as to enable me to bo lally satisfied that its purport is appro hended, and I propose to confine my an? swer to that. By tho statute of April 10, 1869, tho registered voters of Virgi? nia were authorized to vote on the ques? tion of the adoption of a Constitution for the State, and at the same time to elect officers under it, subject to the ap? proval of Congress. The voto has beou taken in pursuance of' tho provisions of the Act, and the election held, and some parts of tho Constitution submitted have been adopted by the people and others rejected. Tho parts of thc proposed Constitution thus adopted, if they shall bo approved by Congress, will be thc Constitution of Virginia, under which all Its officers will be required to act, and tho qualifications as well ns the duties of these officers will be determined by it. When Virginia is restored to its proper relations to tho country as a State of the Union, its officers and Legislature will be s?oli as the Constitution of the State provides, deriving their powers from that instrument; and it will. clearly not be in the power of Congress to impose any requirement of additional qualifica? tions npon them different from those which, nnder the Constitution of the United. States, may be required in all the States. If, therefore, any tests were to be i rn gosed npon members of the Legislature ot provided by the Constitution of Vir? ginia, or any restraint imposed upon the people of tho State in their choice of officers not recognized by it, and not made applicable nnder tho legitimate .powers of Congress to all the States, the Legislature and officers would not, in my opinion, be the Legislature and officers of Virginia under its Constitu? tion. I do not Bee that Congress can undertake to furnish the State with a suitable Legislature to start with, or to exercise any control over ita composition which could not be exercised over subse? quent Legislatures. I am, therefore, of tue opinion that the oath prescribed by the statute of 1862, and by the statute of July 19, 1867, Chapter 30, Section 9, re? quired to be taken by all persons elected or appointed tc office in said Military Districts, nnder any so-called Stato or municipal authority, is not to bo re? quired of the officers of the State of Virginia or members of the Legislature eleoted under the new Constitution. It does not seem to me that the provisions of this second seotion, which are appli? cable to the government of the State un? der military authority, were intended to apply to the Legislature and officers nn? der whom the State is to be restored to its proper relations to the Union, and by whom the government of the Stato is to be administered after its restoration. This opinion is strongly confirmed by a reference to the second section of the same Aot, whioh authorizes the com? mander of any District named in the Aot to remove or suspend from office or from the performance of official power any officer or person holding or exer? cising, or professing to hold or exeroise, any civil or military office or duty in said Distriot nnder any power, election, appointment or authority derived from, or granted by, or olaimed under, any so called State, or the government thereof, and to detail a competent officer or soldier of the army to perform such du? ties. It would be impossible to suppose that Congress oould intend that a Legis? lature, under the Constitution of a State, could have its members appointed by a detail from soldiers of the army. Tho only reasonable conclusion seems to me to be that it was not intended that any such Legislature should bo allowed to exist and aot until reconstruction was completed, except for limited and quali? fied purposes requisito to reconstruction; but? on the other hand, I fully concur with the view of tho General Command Htrnotion Acts ot tJongress, no orncer or ??^jU||?^^M|>droDf^Pfc^^ per? mitted- to e^cjse any cf tho fonafapns or powers of his office within that State, except ?or far'aa/tiloso Acts themselves Er o vi de, without taking the oath which i referred to in the slafcnto ol 1867 abovo quoted. The Aot of April TO, 1869. re? quires the Legislature to meet at a time which it designates-that it is to meet implies that it is to come together for some purpose. It is required, under the previous law, to aot upon the question of adopting the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States before the admission of tho State to rep? resentation in Congress. I am of opi? nion, therefore, that it may come to? gether, organize nod act upon that amendment, but not uutil Congress shall have approved tho constitution and the action under it and shall havo re? stored the State to its proper place in the Union by recognizing its form of go? vernment as republican und admitting it to representation. The Legislature is not entitled and could not, without vio? lation of law, be allowed to transact any business, pass any Act, or resolve or un? dertake to assume nny other function of a Legislature if the test oath has not been required of its members, and that no officer elected under the new constitu? tion can enter upon tho duties of bis office without taking tho oath while mili? tary governmont continues.

Since 10 o'clock on Wednesday night he has not been seen, and being missed, a search was instituted at the hotel, and the following letter found : NORFOLK, Augnst 10,1869.-Yon need not be frightened on finding me dead. It was my wish long ago to die. I am tired of a life of suffering and misery, as I have led it for years. For years I havo vainly struggled against slander and calumniations, until nt last it hus torn from my very bosom the woman I love, and consigned me to a life of starvation and misery. I have not a cent to savo my life, no way of gaining anything, nor any hope of getting anything to do; for people are too Christian to trust a poor man without a heap of recommendations. A man may bo as great a scoundrel as he likes, if he only has recommendations he is sure to get a position; but the honest man, who wishes nothing but to servo his fellow-men, to do his duty faithfully and thus make an honest living, must bo persecuted, huted, slandered, nntil he is entirely ruined. I havo fought this mi serable propensity of men for twenty years. I am now tired of it and desire rest, and therefore have gone where alone I can f iii il it-in tho grave, hopo nt least it will bo granted me. It is my last and only wish to bo allowed a j grave. May tho proprietor of this nico j hotel forgive rho that I went into his house without meaus to pay for my board. I wished, for onco, to feel like a human being again. May the thought that he cheered up the last moments of a poor, unhappy wretch console him for the loss of bis money. Pienso send the letter yon' find to its address. May tho Lord bless all who have ever been kind to mo. May He forgive me and rooeive me ia mercy. JOHN M. BRANDT.

Harper's Weekly, edited by that astuto and unscrupulous radical, Geo. W. Cur? tis, hus adopted a cunning subterfuge to oppose Chinese emigration.

Who? ever knows Curtis cannot fail to see through the trick. Radical policy is opposed to Chinese emigration, and Curtis is among tho bitterest of radi? cals.-2iew Orleans 'limes.

Ayer's Cathartic Fills, for all the Pur? poses of a Laxative Medicine. PEBHAP8 no ono medicino is so univer? sally required by every body au a cathartic, nor was ever any be foro so universally adoptod into uso, in every country aad among all classes, as this mild but efficient ^purgativo PILL. The obvious reason is, that it is a moro reliable and far moro effectual remedy than any other. Thoso who havo tried it, know that it curod them; thoso who havo not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it docs onoo it docs always-that it nevor fails through any fault or neglect of its composi? tion. Wc have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of thc following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and wo noed nul publish them. Ad iptod to all ages and conditions in all climates; containing neither calomolor any deleterious drug, they may bo taken with safoty by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them over frosh and makes thom ulcasaut to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their uso in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on tho internal viscera to purify tho blood and stimulate it into healthy action-remove the obstructions of the stomach, howela, liver and other organs of tho body, restoring their irre? gular t.:tion to health*, and by correcting, wherevt r they exist, such derangements as are tho first origin of disease. Minute directions aro givon in thc wrapper on the box, for tho following complaints, which these PILLS rapidly cure: For Dyspejisia or Indigestion, Listlessness, Languor ?.na Loss of Appetite, they should be taken moderately t<> stimulate tho stomach and restore its healthy tono and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symp? toms, liitious Headache, Siek Headache, jaun? dice or Creen Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bi? lious Fevers, they should bo judiciously taken for each case, to correct tho diseased action or remove tho obstructions which cause it. For Dysenterry or Diarrhoea, but ono mild dose is generally required. For liheumatism, (tout, (travel. Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in ihe Side, Back and Loins, they should ho continuously taken, as re? quired, to chango the diseased action of the system. With such chauge those complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings, they should bo taken in large and frequent doses to produce tho effect of a drastic purge. For Suppression a large dose should bo taken, as it produces tho desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take ono or two Pills to promote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates tho system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious de? rangement exists. Ono who fuels tolerably well, often Ands that a doso of thoso Puts makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing and renovating c tlc e t on tho digestive apparatus. Dr. J. C.
