Mr.. EDTToR,-l infer from the state ment,
which l saw in the Press, of Mr.. Barnes
opinion, that before the aldermen OF. this city
can properly call new election, they must
have official knowledge" of the decease of
/ Mr.. Foster Now, as there is no provision of
law for giving them notice of this fact, such
knowledge is impossible. The Leg stature cam
not communicate official k knowledge. No law
has made it their duty to do so. 1t can have
no knowledge or information as Legislature
which the aldermen do not have as board of
aldermen; and such knowledge as it has can
only be used when the question arises whether
the successor shall be sworn and admitted
The sources of information of either Legisla-
ture or aldermen are wholly unofficial. 1t re.
suits, that if Mr. Barnes 3 opinion is acted up
on, there can be no election legally held to fill
the vacancy, and that the city of Portland is
DISTINGUISHED. The ablest lawyers in the diff
ferent sections, Of the STATE, and, if am not
mistaken, some of the Judges of the Supreme
Court, have expressed different opinion from
that of Mr.. Barnes. 1t is doubted whether a
single lawyer of eminence in the State agrees
with him. There are three vacancies in the
present Legislature; in the next there may be
six or ten. Are the towns in which such va
cancies occur to be unrepresented in the or
ganzation CT the Legislature, in the choice of
councillors and State officers? Suppose that
by filling the vacancies the political complex

Legislature might be slow to send the infor-

too much to expect that our aldermen will re-

The 14th constitutional amendment forbids
nersons who have taken an oath 10 support
the constitution of the United States and
afterwards engaged in the rebellion against its
authority to hold Office under the general or

Do the Rebels deserve this generous treat
ment? TO this question there can be but one
answer. The fact that they have killed more
men for cherishing feelings of loyalty toward
the United States since the war than were
killed at the battle of Gettysburg is conclusive
on that point.
But we do not, in America, mete out to

Of severity the Southern people may deserve

Having usurped authority in the Georgia leg
islature they instantly turned the negro mem

affairs in Louisiana by violence, they suffered
no loyal man to approach the polls; having or,
ganzed a reign OF terror in Texas, they have
rendered the name of the State synonym for
Pandemonium. Is it safe to restore these

that he gave the horse to Moore, but only lent him
TO him during the haying season Moore says the
horse was hard bargain as gift. Plaintiff ac-
knowledged the horse was not worth any thing, but
he had him since he vas a colt and therefore did
not want to part with him. Mr.. Waterman testified
tnat Emery offered 10 give him him the horse but
ne did not want him. aud recommended Emery to
