OF inquiry from Gov. pickons to Attorney
General Hayne, touching the qualit cations OF
OF members of our State Legislature who may
have accepted commissions in the Army of the
Confederate States, and the reply of the Attor.
ney General thereto. The Attorney General
gives it as his opinion that all military officers,
whether commissioned by Gov. Pickens or the
President Of the Confederate States, are, by the
terms Of Section 20, Article l, of the present
Constitution, (Section 81 Of the Constitution of
l79o) while they receive pay for their services
disqualified from holding seats in the Lerisla,
ture.
lie adds that SO far as constitutional disoua,;,
heation IS concerned, it applies to all paid off
GERS whatsoever but the Convention of the
People thought proper to exempt from the
constitutional disqualification the officers of
the forces, regular and volunteer, raised unde
oroer OF the Convention" itself. These en-.
brace the Volunteer forces known as "Gr.gg's
Regiment" which has been disbandcd, and the
Regiment Of Regulars, now on service in this
State.
According to the opinion of the Attorney
General, it would seem that the Office of State

The Legislature having, at it's late ses

Seren per cent, for the purpose Of providing
the funds required to sustain the State In
the act Of resuming her rights Of sovereign.

the Bonds. They are issued in sums of
$50, 500, and $500. An opportunity is
thus afforded every citizen to make secure

ting aid to the cause in which the State is
engaged. With the view of enabling citt.
zens in any part of the State 10 share in

several districts have been required to open
books of subscription for the Stock. Sui.
