GOVERNOR PIERPoNT.
BALTIMORE, October 4.-RichmOnd pa
pers of to-day contain a letter from Gov. |
Pierpont answering the interrogatories of |
G. W Sewelly touching the eligibility of |
candidates. The Governor says it is /
peculiarly painful at this time, in the dis
turbed condition Ofthe State, when so many
petitions for pardon are being filed at /
Washington, that there shOuldbe any rea-
son for raising these questions. Congress
will act under the provision of the cOnsti-
tuition of the United States which is in /
these words, to wit:
Each shall be judge of election returns
and qualifications of its own members be
passed joint resolutions declaring that all
shall take oath to which YOU re-
fer that resolution prescribing oath, will
have to be repealed before any member
who cannot constitutionally prescribe to it
can take his seat. 1t is not expected Con-
gress will repeal that resolution in order
to give seats to members who cannot take
the Doth. He concludes as follows;
But has it not the appearance of persis-
tent and continued rebellion for men to
run for Congress who by the law of Con-
gress cannot take their seats If this class
of men are sent to Congress they will be
rejected. la..

Humphreys success is considered unfor- |
tunate by the best Union men.
