FROM SMITH COUNTY.

The Recent Election for Representa-
aive-A confederate Soldier turned
RadicaI-A Good Case for the Test
Oath-Suit 10 be Commenced to try
the Validity OF the Franchise Law
Points Relied On-CrOpz, etc, etc.
Correspondence Of the UNIoSiAND ANERcAN.I
The correspondent Of the Press and Times
at this place in giyinga an accounted the Rad
ical triumph, in this county, on last Satur-
day, says that CLEAvELAND and WATERS,
the successful candidates, have always been
true and faithful to the country. Now as to
their true and faithfulness he might have
stated the following facts: Tom WATERS
was from the first, and during all the strife,
and ardent and devoted Union man, and he
proved his faith by his works. His Radi-
calism is now Of a very mild type, and bat
for the company in which he is found, he
would be called Conservative. Indeed, he
denies being Radical. Col CLEVELAND,
on the other hand, who is the newly elected
member of the Legislature, has been on
both sides. In 1861 he was a member and
second sergeant of Capt. H. w. HEARTS
independent company Of rifles in the Con-
federate service; upon the reorganization
of that company, in June Of that year, he
was a candidate for the several positions,
one after another, of first, second and third
Lieutenant and first Sargent, and being de-
feated for these was made second sergeant,in
which position he served nearly eight
months and then discharged upon Sur
geon's certificate of disability by Ordor of
Maj. Gen. HARDEE. In the spring of 1862
he was candidate for Register Of this
county, and claimed support upon the ground
that he was discharged Confederate sol
dier. These facts show these two very clever
gentlemen as having very different records.
1t is understood a suit is about to be.com-
menced here by gentleman who was al
ways a consistent Union man, to test the
validity of the new disfranehise law. He
offered to vote on his certificate obtained
under the act Of June 9TH, 1865, and was
refused. 1t is claimed that that certificate
created vested right, and the act Of May,
1856, pretending to annul it, violates that
provision of the Constitution Of the United
State which prohibits any State from passing
a law impairing the obligation of contracts.
Besides, the new law is null and void, be-
cause, in passing the act of 1865, the Legis-
lature exercised the power granted 1t to
determine the qualification Of voters, and
the Limitation of the elective franchise" and
in doing so exhausted all the power it had
over the subject. Other points, no doubt
equally strong, will be made in the case.
The fall is delightfully."- pleasant, and the
farmers are improving it by putting in more
wheat than usual A good shower Of rain
is needed. Never was there such peace and
order in this county. SMITH.

Rosalroa, That the members Of the House
look upon the confinement Of Mr.. DAVIS as

that speedy trial which every man has a
right to claim under the Constitution when
called upon 10 answer 20 the courts of the
country for his conduct
Resolved, That this House is DESTROYS that
able members of the Mississippi Bar should
az once proceed TO Virginia and actively en-
gage in the defense OF Mr. DAVIS. with a
view TO his release; and, that for such pur-
pose it is prepared 60 make the necessary
appropriations.
Resolved furtAc-, That this House present
to the people Of Mississippi the subject OF
providing for the family Of Mr.. DAVIS by
such general and liberal contributions from
every county as will insure 10 his wife and
children that provision for life which ms
eminent services, his devotion 70 his State
his selfsacri6ce-his great merit and grea,
nlisiortunes, 50 imperatively demand, and
which for Mississippi now TO refuse will show
her aud her sons alike degenerate.
