GRANT OPPOSED TO rENIANIsM

We have always thought that our fel-
low-citizens of Celtic descent would soon
find that the Radical lion at Washington
was not so sweet on them now that
they were of no further use to Radical
ism; and we see it clearly demonstrated
in the advice given by President Grant
to the British Minister in reference to
the contemplated Fenian invasion OF
Canada, to take place, so said, on the
18th inst" The Irish fought for them,
shedding river of blood upon a score of
battle-6elds; but when these gallant fell

scores against their British oppressors,

]. J. DuBose, Chairman Democratic kxecg=
tive Committee:
SIR-The clauses of the new Constitu-
iion concerned in the matter of Mr..
DuBose's inquiry are:
Section Y, article I, which ordains
that elections for Judicial and other
civil officers shall be held on the FIRST
Thursday Ia August, 1870, and forever
thereafter on the first Thursday IN
August next preceding the expiration Of
their respective terms Of service.
"The term of each officer so elected
shalt be computed from the first day Of
September suleseding his election.
Section | of the 'SchsGgle declares
Z" that all officers elected at or after the
general election of March, 1870, shall
hold theif offices for the terms prescribed
/ in this Constitution.
TO some extent these sentences do not
appear 10 be altogether harmonious.
Such construction can, however, be given
to them. and if SO, sgch is proper to be
given as will enable then to stand to-
eether and give effect to both. Upon
| This rule | am of opinion that the Con-
yentiea meant to ordain that the cleo
lions Of all Judicial end civil officers
shall take place on the FIRST Thlrsday Of
August, 1870; excepting, however, the
cases of officers Eho may be elected, in
accordance with the existing laws, at the
general elections of March, 1870, or after
/ that time and before the first Thursday
in August, 1870, and that officers so
elected shall hold taeir offices, for the
same terms, as if elected % the first
Thursday Of August.
And though tbs section of the sched-
nls does not SO express, the implication
is very clear, that the Convention con-
templated and therefore ordained that
elections may be held in accordance
with the existing laws enacted before
the making of the new Constitution, at
ina nsual day in March. 1870, or after
thai dag ssi before the first Thursday in
August, is1b
Il seems probable, therefore, that ju-
dicial elections for this county held on
the 26th Of May, pursuant 10 act organ
ling the Courts of Shelby county, will be
valid, ssd will invest the persons elected
with their oGces for the term Of eight
years from the hrsr day Of September
