EH During the consideration of the
Convention Bill in the House of De legats,
Mr.. Carmichael moved to insert . clause
prohibiting the passage Of any law by the
Legislature providing for the payment by
the State for persons heretofore held a.
slaves. Against this proposition. and.
therefore in favor ofpaying for she sman-
cipated slaves Ct this State, is recorded
the votes Of Messrs- Applenan, Bamford,
Bishop and Tobey, of this county.
The Radical party of this county are
thus, through the action of their Repre-
seutatiycs, committed to the policy of pay
Ing for the slaves Of this State emancipated
during the war. These Same Delegates
during the progress of the campaign
which gave them their seats in the Legs
lature. persisted in charging that il was
the intention OF the Conservatives to add
this additional burthen on the people and
claimed the support of the votes of this
ssanty upon the ground that they were OBJ
posed to it. rhe people can now see
what reliance is to be placed in the prom
ises und professions of Radicalism. Be-
fore the election they profess to have n
holy horror Of adding additional burthens
upon the people. Once elected they vote
against proposition which intended TO-
protect the people from having placed u p
on their shoulders q debt Of $50, 900, OUU j..
The people can thus see who arc really in
favor of paying for emancipatcd slaves
who are really eaieavOring to add to
their already tOo heavy burshens. Boar
in mind it is the Radical party that would
make you pay for these slaves aud that il
is tho Conservative party that is resisting
il.

You are right in supposing that Congress made

to n-vi,ib;t the removal Of District Command
crs without the consent Of tho Senate Soon
after the commencement Of the last Session OF
Con-rcss reported ill from the committee
of the House of Representatives,, which con
taincd provision prohibiting renewal without
the consent of the Senate. It passed the
House and was sent to the Senate. Ihc Sen
ate struck it out and returned it to the Io,;Sc,
who refused to concur in the amendment. The
result was n committee of conference, where an
animated contest cnsued.
There were several other questions in con-
trovcrsy between the houses, which the House
offered to yield if this could be granted The
Senate pcrsistcntly refused, declaring that they

Some OF the members Of the Senate seemed to
doubt their power under the constitution

which all agreed that we were acting else our

abolition Of slavery thus became a military nc
ccssity- emancipation an inevitable moral re-
suit of tho war. These States could not be
recognized until they should recognize what
the war Had effected.
1t was competent for the United States to
deal with slaves just as with other personal
property. The owner must suffer. Who suf-
fored when mules or horses were taken ? or
cotton burnt or lifted, or ships captured at sea?
Who, but tho owner of such property? But
the laws OF property, regulating the relation
ship of debtor and creditor, in the matter of
the mules, ships or cotton, we're not abrogated
Debts or balances due on the purchase of such
mules ships or cotton, were not cancelled
The debtors were not released Their oblga-
tions remain in force at this day The seller
never made II guarantee against the action Of
war. Take the case Of land. Il. OWNS fee
simple. He sells and conveys the title he got
placing the purchaser in possession OF all the
incidents Of ownership with which he himself
had been invested. If the State, in the cxor-
else Of its right Of eminent domain, should take
the fec for public uses, the seller makes no
guarantee against the State; he is not liable
for acts of the State or against confscation of
the United States. In this case, the ground
of defense, failure Of consideration, docs not
therefore appear to be made out the warranty
was i'll every view good at the time it was given;
it's subsequent failure was due to causes for
which the seller of the negro was in no wise
responsible.
The other ground Of defense, payment by
compulsion under the Scqucstration Law Of
the Confederate Government, is equally un-
tcnablc. That Government never had legal
existence, and payment Of the debt under its
regulations was therefore void.
Under these instructions the jury retired,
and soon returned with the following verdict +:
ave find for the Plaintiff sixteen hundred and
ffty-on dollars and five cents" the full amount,
with interest.

this would take in nearly every man in the
country, outside of tho municipal corporations
for nearly ovcfy. one has been Captain Of such
squad in his turn But this is manifcstly
absurd and yet it is based on exactly the
same argument, that is used to exclude militia
officers a.
The truth is that militia officers arc not dis
franchisedtat all, on that account. The idea
is prcpostcrous The matter was determined
ut the very beginning Of registration, under
the very eyes of that departing hero, the Com
manding General Of the Second Military Dis
trict, as we find by the Charleston Mercury,
which has been ut much pains to bring before
the public everything Of interest i'll this con
n0ction.
Our friends, therefore, who have bceh mill
tia officers before the war, have only to go be-
fore the respective Boards, and say, 1--WE were
militia officers before the war; but we wish to
be registered as voters" and VIC pay but a just
compliment to the intelligence Of the Regis
trars in this District, when we say that wo arc
confident they will not be rejected.
