The Attorney-GenernI,s Opinion.

The Attorney-GencrnP Opinion.
We publish, this morning, the
opinion of Attorney-General Stan
berry on the power of district COM
mandcrs. We take it from the Rich
mond Dispatch, and we agree with
that paper that it is far superior to
his former elaborate opinion, which,
we confess, we could not thoroughly
understand.
Mr.. Stanberry seems at last, the
Dispatch says, to have made up his
mind. He tells the district COM
manders, in plain terms, that they
have usurped powers not conferred
upon them by the Acts of Congress.
This point we have often discussed,
and we have always taken the exact
ground now occupied by the Attor-
ney-General. In regard to the classes
of persons DISTINGUISHED, he has
come to the conclusion that County
officers are among the unfortunates.
All executive and judicial officers
who, before the war, were required
to take the oath to support the Con-
stitution and afterwards engaged in
rebellion are included by Mr.. Stan
berry among the disfranchised. This,
to be sure, is simply the language of
the law. But, as every person
knows whether as an officer he took
such oath, and as it is we'll known
that certain officials were always re-
quired to take it, the language could
not well be improved upon.
The only question rs to which
there was any doubt was, "What are
executive and judicial oflicers?" This
being settled, and it being a matter
of notoricty what officers were always
required to take the oath, there was
no occasion for doubt in any mans
mind upon the question Of disfran-
chisement.
We commend the careful reading
of this opinion to our readers. Our
telegraphic dispatches, published
yesterday, stated that the President t
would issue his orders in conformity
with it. In view of the enforcement
of this opinion, rs the National Mtel-
Hgencer intimated, last week, at all
hazards, it may become one of the
most interesting documents in the
history of the country, since the COM
menccment of the civil war.

FALL or 4 BUILDING black
smith shop on Washington street,
occupied by Mr.. McAllister, fell in,
yesterday morning, with a loud crash,
causing some alarm among the resi-.
dents in the vicinity. Fortunately,
there were only two workmen freed
men) in the building at the time
one of whom escaped unhurt, and
the other with wound in the head
from the falling timbers. The wound
is not serious.
Commemorative were in error in
stating that the African Church, of
which we made mention the other
day, in noticing the laying of the
corner stone, was Baptist Church.
1t is connected with the African
Methodist Church of the United
States. The ceremonies were per-
formed under the supervision OF
Bishop Weyman, of that church, and
the corner stone, we understand, was
laid by three Master Masons, with
the usual beftting ceremonies.
Some idle, petty thieves, we under
stand, thinking there was some guam
tity of coin lodged In the cavity of
the stone, removed it and found
eighty-five cents, or thereabouts.

The CoNTENDING RALRoADs.-The
snarl or difficulty between the South
Carolina and Columbia and Augusta
Railroads was not ended with Satur-
days proceedings, as we thought. On
Monday evening, the employees OF
the South Carolina Railroad took up
the crossing which the other road had
laid. The parties engaged in the
removal were brought before the
Mayors Court, yesterday morning,
and were fined-the Agent, Mr.. Boil
lin, in the sum of $40, and three EN-
ployees each $3.50. The latter, we
understand, were bound over to keep
the peace.
The interference of the municipal
authorities in this dispute seems to
be misunderstood, as we infer from 3
note in the Charleston Msrcm.y, OF
Monday. Their interference is based
upon city ordinance in relation to
the obstruction Of a public street.
The disputed point between the tw,f
railroad companies is directly on the
lire of street, and hence the steps
taken by the city authorities. This
will explain to the Mercury why the
Chief of Police, Mr.. Radcliffe, pro
ceeded, on Saturday evening. under
authority of the City Council, 10 re-
move the obstruction from one OF the
streets of the city.

WASHINGTON, December l3.--A strong

aid Of Congress In constructing Pacific
railroad, from point on the Gulf Of
Mexico, by an air line route only lO68
miles long, TO the Pacific ocean. An as
sociation Of capitalists has been organ
lied in connection with Ex-Governor
Hamilton, of Texas, and other South

duce a bill at an early day to
carry out their idea. These gentlemen
claim if the annual Government expen-
ditures along the line Of tho proposed
route far military. etc, are capitalized,
and thus created should be loaned to the
railroad as the work progresses. The ar

10 WE POOR NEGRO.

The Meridian Messenger says On
Saturday, the Selma train brought here
over one hundred negroes, men, women
and children, gathered in the Canebrake
region of Alabama. on the route to the
Deer Creek country to work OF planta-
tons. For some reason, they laid over
here all Sunday. We we're struck with
the difference twixt now and then. In
the old time, when negroes were on the
move they we're well clad. Many of
those we saw here on Sunday were
poorly clad. They are going into the
deep recess of the river bottom, and, we
suspect, there will be out poor opportu-
mites to improve them intellectually.

REPUTATION.

The Richmond Times, says I'VE. do
not know that the mantle of prophecy
has ever fallen upon us, but we venture
a prediction. 1t isthis: That signs of
a desire to repudiate the national debt
will appear in the North long before they
do here, although the debt is more theirs
than ours. And we venture the further
prediction that, as soon as the Northern
people have fully recovered from the ex-
citement caused by the Radical lies Of
the last election, we shall begin to hear
growls about hsaTy tsxation. The man
then who win wipe out taxation soonest
(even by repudiation), will be the IA
