The question is one to be decided by the Legislature. and . with a view to nn ultimate decision, is now un dergoing discussion in the public print*, With regard to the extent of the d^qualification, the Attornvj- General, and the Speaker of the House, entertain aud have published different opinions. The provision of the State Constitution is in the following words: ' The clause rends as follows: "No person shall be eligible I" a Bent in tilt Legislature, while he holds ony office of profit or trust un der this State the C<>ufederiite States of Aineri cn, or either of tlicni, op under any other pow er. except officers of tlic militin, nuny or nnvy of tins State, jus! ices of the peace, or ju>tiees of' tlie county courts, whi'c they receive no salaries ;-nor shall any contriiotop of ihe ar my or navy 'of this Stnte, the' Confederate States of America, or either of ihetn, or the agents of such contractor, he eligible to a ap In cither House. An?l if any memher s\ut\\ ac ceptor exercise any of the said disqualifying offices, lie shall vitcate his seat." \L Now under lliis clause, tliere is no differencl of opinion, thai holding an office of profit and trust in the Confederate 'Service will disqualify oue for setvingin the Legislature. Biitfn con structing the clause above mentioned, the At torney General holds tlint the Tvo'r.ds, Awhile they receive 110 Hulaiies>," apply to nil tJie offi cers enumerated in the exception: ?nd lie con sequently holds tlie opinion, Hint- if they re ceive' sulxHes, they do not. come within the reo. soi) of the exception, mid are tliereforfe^diSqunl. ified. The Speaker on the contrary limiia'the aforesaid words hv apply ing them-merely ' to qualify the preceding word?, "Justice*'-of the Courts," and^holdi lliat the terin'"enl *rv" .T.? - ~r -ficer. lib is therefore of Ihc opiriion/ihat {>fti cere of ihc Slate inUilia are'qualified-tO" serve in the Legislature. whether tliey receive pay or not.
