The Georgia Election.

Attorney General Alderman has writ
ten a letter to certain Republicans OF
Georgia, members of the legislature and
other citizens, who had requested his
views on the election in that State. He
refuses to give a construction of the Act
of Congress relating to Georgia, but on
the assumed ground that the question is
for the legislature to decide. He favors
an election, but gives expression against
the extension of the terms of officers
He takes The view that the constitution Of
the State has been operative since July,
1868, and that the members having sworn
to support il, are bound by it. and that if
the government has been provisional, still
the constitution has been practically in
force az the fundamental State law and was
not set aside by the paramount authority
of the United States, and, therefore is
valid. He says that the constitution fixes
the terms of representatives in the legis-
lature at two years, and that the present
members have no right to serve after the
expiration of that term. Also, that the
understanding between them and the ree-
pie will be overreaohed by an extension
of the terms. In a party view he thinks
the Republican party will be more injured
by preventing than by holding the cleo
ton; but if it were otherwise would not
sacrifice principle to success. He de-
sires every prenaniinn oSn;-n. ---s":--~--
and should the election be unfair, would
SGT it aside. This is the view of the case
taken by the new Attorney General, and
will have an important bearing on the
Georgia case.

The Congressional Contest and the

[NoTE.--It is not the intention of the
HERALD Ito discuss the Congressional
contest, but the unjust and uncalled for
interference of the Burlington Free Press
has called out the following article, from
q distinguished citizen of the District
We feel it to be our duty, in self-defence,
to give it place in the columns of the
HERALD
Editor Rutland Herald Noticing in
the Free Press &c Times of the 10Th inst,
an article rejecting somewhat on the &C.
ton of what they are pleased to term "a
private caucus of persons in Rutland
County, opposed to the denomination of
Hon. c. w. Willard" and desiring only
fair play, would say that the author Of
the article il, in the first place, evidently
mistaken in part of his statement, and,
in the second place, the general tenor Of
his article indicates most clearly that he
is not entirely unselfish in his views. 1t
is fact well known throughout the 1st
Congressional District, that at The time
Mr.. Willard received his nomination, it
was generally conceded that the District
were not only willing to give the nomina-
ton to Rutland County, but were anx-
ious to do so as u matter of right. That
Convention was disappointed on finding
that Rutland County could not concen-
trate on some one person. Unfortunate
ly, this county, at that time, had too
many good men for the position, and the
result was, that on the part of many,
it was thought advisable to allow the
nomination to go to Washington county,
(which had no claims whatever to it, for
one term, and in the meantime try to
harmonic on some one man, and to pre-
sent such person at the next convention.
Now the friends of equal right and JUS
tice in this county, or at least a portion
of them, desire to take the matter up Just
as it was before the last convention, and
they feel assured that they will receive
the support of the other counties in the
district. l cannot think that the Free
Press It Times are entirely unselfish look
ers on for this motive. 1t is pretty gener-
ally conceded that before another conven-
ton after the one to be holden on the 18th
inst. that our State will be re-districted
that we shall only be entitled then to
two districts-that the State will doubt
less divide by the mountains, bringing
Chittenden, Franklin and Lamoille at
least into our district. No doubt the au-
thor Of the article in the Free Press d
Times bias friends who would like the DO.
sition, and no doubt Franklin and La.
noble Counties have plenty of good
men who are anxiously waiting for an
opportunity TO get into Congress, The
district as it is now formed, as believe,
arc quite willing that the claims of
Rutland County should be acknowledged
and are anxious that we should offer
such man from this county as they will
be willing to support. We certainly
have no desire to trespass on any well
