From tho RIchmnnd Fnnnir.


The road before us is beset with
difficulties, and doubtless with sorrow
In a mere material point of view,
take which way we may, where any
choice of policy is presented, we will
probably wish we had taken the 9TH
er. All regrets over the past are out
OF place, from the fact that nothing il
was possible for us to do, could have
brought any amelioration. And as
for the future, it is as well to put upon
the record now, for the benefit of
those whO have short memories, what
Stevens has already proclaimed as the
purpose, in advance of any act or
omission which will hereafter be as
signef as the reason for Il:
Good willing, and l living, there
shall be question propounded to this
House and the nation, whether a por-
ton OF the claims Of loyal men shall
not be paid by the confscated proper
~ Of rebels"
And Fomey says, under date of
February end:
Thousands Of inquiries are con-
SANITY made about the execution Of
the laws con6scation rebel property,
particularly rebel real estate, and It is
generally understood that Hon. Thad-
Gus Stevens viii take an early occa-
sion % express his sentiments on this
subject"

BY the passage Of the Military bill
male negroes twenty one years Of age,
who have been resident in the State
one year, will be entitled to vote Gin
all elections to any Office" The fol-
lowing persons are prohibited from
holding office under the State PRO
visional) Government All Con-
federates who had ever taken the oath
to support the Constitution Of the
United States as a member Of Con
gress, or as an officer of the United
States, or member of any State Legis-
lature or as an executive or Judicial
officer of any State. This includes,
besides members of Congress and of
State Legislatures, postmasters, col
lectors Of customs, officers Of the
United States army and navy, judges
and magistrates. and ex-goyernors.
1t does not include lawyers, clerks,
sheriffs, constabIes, commissioners in
chancery, commissioners of revenue,
tax assessors, surveyors, militia Off
GERS, members of councils, and per-
haps others who have taken the oath
for these are either not officers at
all, or are merely ministerial officers,
not embraced in the term "executive
or judicial" .sa 3i,, s.rs
Under this clause the limits from
which State officers, are to be elected,
will be materially restricted.
The question will at once arise,
does the act vacate the offices under
the present State Government Its
language seems to imply not. tits as
follows
g In all elections to any office under
such provisional government all per-
sons shall be entitled to vote, and none
other, who are entitled to vote under
the provisions of the fifth section of
this act, and person shall be eligible
to any offices under such provisional
government who would be disqualified
from holding office under the provi-
sions of the third article of said con-
stitutional amendment"

w. III. ID. Bowmanl Appeal from Chancery
appellee. ! Court Of Rankin county
The opinion Of he Court delir9ed By Jastio.
Harris:
The point submitted for our decision in this
case is, whether the vendor ofIedSehoId estate
in lands, has an equitable lien on the estate in
the hands OF the purchaser for the unpaid pur-
chase money.
We are unable to discover any.reason why
the general rules applicable to thesa Of real
estate, should be made to depend on the
quantity Of interest, which the vendor has in
the land.
The principle upon which courts of equity
have proceeded in establishing this lien An the
nature Of trust, is, that the person who has
yenience a. between them, be allowed 10 keep
II, and not TO pay the full consideration money.
Story Eq. Jur. p. 666, S. 1919.
And judge Story further says, that by the
Roman law from Hhich the d1etrine has its
origin, Il was equally applied to movable as to
iaDs0Udbte property, and the close analogy, II
not the absolute iden ity Of the English doc
trine Of the lien, Of the vendor, with that Of
the Roman law Of privilege, on the same sub
Ject seems 10 demonstrate a common origin:
although in England the lien Is ordinarily con-
fined 70 cases Of immovablo.

The New York Tribune gives the
Radical view of the effects Of this piii'
thus; yr,r i;'g NJ Tss "
y aThe immediate responsibility now
rests with the President, and after MN
with the southern States. He may
veto the bill, and they may refuse us
offers. But should it become q law
the effects will be these s,,g,
/. The Rebel States will retain their
present governments, but merely as
provisional governments, under whlcn J
no person who, as the third section Of
the Constitutional Amendment enacts'
ehaving taken an oath as a member
of Congress, or as an officer OF tne
United States, or as member OF any
State Legislature, or as executive OF
judicial officer of any State to suppor,t
the Constitution of the United STATES
shall have aided the rebellion, IS eiisi-
BILE to office And also under such
governments no discrimination IN re-
gard to color shall be made in the cleo
tive franchise. 80,
III. While these provisional govern
ments exist, the Rebel States are to-
be'divided into military districts, gov
erned by officers of the army, with
power to organize military courts su-
perior to State authority.

When these Constitutions are estab-

have adopted the Constitutional
Amendment, they shall be admitted TO
representation In Congress, schen military
rulc will cease, and South Carolina and

The KNOXVILLE TREASON PRosEoU-
TIoNs.-The Knoxville Commercial, of
the 26th, says that the case of Gen.
j. G. Ramsey, indicted in the Circuit
Court of Knox county, for the crime
Of treason against the State, was taken
up the day before and dismissed up
on the payment of costs by the aecus
ed. The case of the same nature
against Col Ashley was continued to
the next term of the court. This, and
that against Hon. w. H. Sneed, says
the Nashville Union. \ =
we believe are the only cases remaining
on the docket of that court. Judge
Swan, who has heretofore. been more
inclined than any other to charge the
law so as to secure convictions in this
class of cases, presided; and it may
now be considered that all such pros
ecution will hereafter be discontinued.
