OPINION OF GOVERNOR fEIRPoINT.


The following is an extract OF letter from
Governor Peirpoint IN reply to series OF ques
+ions addressed to him by gentleman from
Richmond: !,
CIT is peculiarly painful at this time, in the
disturbed condition of the State, while there
are SO many petitions at Washington on lie
e. e. na,don. and meetings being held in large
nnn,her of counties OF the State passing
reso1ntions declaring the loyalty Of the people
- the Federal and State Governments, that
there should be reasons for raising these ques,,
lions CONGRESS, acting under provision OF
The Constitution of the United States, which
;s IN these words to wit /: "Each House shall be
the iudge Of the elections, returns and quallh-
cations Of it's own members passed
io;nt resolution declaring that all its members
shall take the oath to which you refer. That
resolution. prescribing the oath, will have to
be repealed before any member who cannot
conscientiousy subscribe to 1t can take his seat:
tits not to be expected that Congress will repeal
that resolution in order to give seats to mem
hers who cannot take the oath. Ihls, l BE-
lieve. answers your first question: :,
I'd. Effects on Virginia II she should not
have representation in the next Congress. Not
that representation will do her SO much good,
but it will be great evil to the State II she IS
not represented All our interests Will suffer
if we are unrepresented.
Cd With reference to the election OF mem
bers to the General Assembly who are inell-
gible. It is to be hoped that none such Will be ?
elected. Should they be- the Constitution OF
the State must be repealed before they can
take their seats; and as the question will be
entirely within the control Of the he L egsa a
session Sas and thus deprive the counties sending
such delegates Of all representation:
But has it not the appearance OF persistent
and continued rebellion for men to run tor
Congress who, by the law of Congress, cannot
take their seats? And SO in regard to the
General Assembly The first act to be done
bv them when they arrive at the State or Ma,
tional capital will be to demand the repeal of
certain laws before they can take their seats
# this class of men are sent to Congress, the
members will conclude that the represe native
is type of the people, and will be likely to
reject them

Gov. WISE ON EMANCIPATION The Rich
mond Wing authoritatively makes correction
of several typographical errors in General
Wise's late letter to General Grant. On the
subject of emanci patton he is made to say,
''Long before the war, indeed, had definite
ly made up my mind actively to advocate
emancipation" Instead of this, he said,
Long before the war ended, [ had definitely
made up my mind to advocate emancipation, :"
which gives very different view of his opin-
ions in this regard.

LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS IN BANKS
A subscriber informs us that the impression
prevails among many persons, that the stock
holders, in what are known as the independent
banks of the State, are responsible tor the
obligations of these banks, to the extent Of
double the amount of their subscriptions, and
desires that we should inform him as to the
authority for the impression: If there is any,
such liability, it must arise from the terms OF
the particular charter of the institution IN
which the imagined responsibility exists.
Now, since there were one hundred and forty
three Acts passed by the Legislature, between
1852 and 1860, incorporating new banks, or
amending the charters of pre-existent ones, we
do not feel prepared to state positively that no
such liability exists, but we are aware OF none
and the General Banking Law of the State
imposes no such accountability on the part OF
the stockholders.
A large number Of these independent bank
charters contain no provision as to the liability
of the Stockholders, remitting the creditors
to their general liability under the law

This is sensible talk, and true: "The great
body of the American people desire the COM
pete restoration of the Southern States as
soon as practicable, SO that law and order,
industry and trade, may be revived therein );
50 that the great commercial staples of those
States may be developed again for the relief
of the Treasury, and to assist US in the, pay
ment of our national taxes, and IN the redemp-
ton Of our national debt. Let US get those
States firmly on their feet again, as we may do
during the coming winter, and then next year S
surplus productions may be equal to the add
ton of two hundred millions to our exports.
Nor can we hope to prosper as people,
including rich and poor, in meeting the bur
dens imposed by the war, without the assistance
of the South. The sooner we secure this
powerful assistance the better it will be tor us
all, North and South, rich and poor, whites
and blacks, people and Treasury. And hence
we are with the country IN support OF the

There is love like the old love that courted IN
