I The Fourteenth Amen dm.n..

Chief Justice Chase, in the United States
District Court at Richmond, on the 10th inst,
made q highly important decision in reference
to the l4th constitutional amendment It
was in the case of the negro Griffin, who
had been sentenced to the penitentiary by
Shelley tor shooting man. The negro was
brought by habcas corpus before Judge I'm.
,derwood, who decided that Judge Sheffey be-
ing ineligible to hold office under the 14th
amendment, having been a rebel, his sentence
was null and void, and ordered the negro to
NC discharged. The case was taken before
Judge Chase on appeal, who now sustains
the legality OF the court and the sentence of
Judge Shelley. Although the decision in.
wolves various other important points, the
nub of it is, that although, under the l4th
amendment, no man can hold office who had
ever taken oath to support the constitution of
the Z. S. and afterwards engaged in rebellion
against the SINE, no man can be held to be
guilty Of such rebellion except upon due trial
and conviction. On any other assumption,
the l4th amendment would stand in fiat con-
tradiction to other portions Of the constitution
which it makes no pretense of repeating and
the proper rule was so to interpret the differ
ent portions of that instrument as to make
them consistent with each other.
This decision, if affirmed by the Supreme
Court of the U. S., as it inevitably will be if
ever brought before it, necessarily nulliAes
the bulk Of the punitive legislation Of con-
gress with reference to the south for the last
five or six years. And as nobody ever was
triod and convicted Of rebellion, and under
the various amnesty proclamations such trials
and convictions hereafter are cut of, we arc
at a loss to see how any man, even Gen. Lee
himself, car, hereafter be declared ineligible to
Office except by new and most sweeping
constitutional amendment.
