DECISION OF THE STEpHENS HABEAs Cor
rus CASE IL GEoRGIA.-Atldnta, April g.
In the case OF Stephens, General Terry an
swercd TO the writ of hdbc0S corpus issued
by Judge Erskine, of the United States dis
trict court, by producing the body OF the
prisoner. The case was ably argued, and
is considered legally one of the most i'm
portant that has occurred in the South.
From General Tcrry's reply to the writ it
appears that United States officer had
been murdered some time ago in Texas,
and the General believing that Stephens
had harbored the murderer, he had arrested
him az accessory after the fact. The point
was made By the prisoner counsel that the
crime having been committed in another
State and military district, the murderer
could not be tried here, and as necessary
consequence tue accessory after the fact
was equally beyond the jurisdiction of any
court in this military district.
Judge Erskine, in his decision, in the
most marked and pointed manner, decided
that the reconstruction acts of Congress
were constitutional. He also upheld the
power of the General commanding to cause
arrest and punish offenders. He held that
no legal State government existed in Geor
gia-the present State government being
provisional only. Stephens was discharged
solely on the ground that if guilty as an
accessory, after the fact in harboring the
principal, he could not be held to answer
for it in this district.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.


UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.,
April i, 1870.
For several weeks the excitement in the
two Societies here has been steadily in
creasing as the time drew nearer at which
the flutes of the opposing candidates would
be decided The elections took place on
Saturday evening last, with the following
result
Washington Society-Mr. John II. Nc
Kennie. Of Florida, was elected final presi-
s!dcnt Mr.. Mckenzie is very nice gen.
tleman: has been n member Of the Society
for several years, and probably has done
more for it than any other member. Mr..
william Maupin was elected yice-presi-
dent, and Mr.. Selden Longley, OF Virginia,
final orator. MIR. Longley is gentleman
Of very high intellectual attainncnts, and
is an orator Of unusual abilities. He IS
deservedly popular with oil those who
know hira.
The Jefferson Society elected Mr.. Stiles
F. Dcndy, Of South Carolina, final presi-
dent, and Mr.. \. c. ST. John, Of Virginia,
final orator. Both are hightoDed and p0-
yular gentlemen.
The competitors for the medals are
Washington Society: Mr.. Linden Kent, of
Virginia, and Mr.. {. r. Hill, of Missis-
sippi; both men of high abilities as speak
ers and of fine in:ellects. Jefferson So
cicty: For the medal, Mcssrs. Morton of
Richmond, Va, Pendlcton Of Virginia,
Thorp of North Carolina, and Shamburg OF
Maryland. The election for medalists will
take place some time between this and the
end Of the session. The tone of the Socie-
ties il said to be much improved, and the
debates are very ably conducted. The
law class furnishes the largest per cent. of
talent to the Societies, as all the gentlemen
elected On Saturday evening were students
of the law class with the exception of the
vice president OF the Wasiington), and all
the competitors for the medal are also MEM
bers of the law class. The students are
applying themselves with unusual ardor to
their studies, and their conduct has been
much better than formerly.

rights Under the fifteenth amendment, and
offered their ballots. The polls were opened
at o'clock, and in the Seventh Ward the
first four voters were colored. Inthe Sixth
Ward several also presented themselves and
were accepted. The election officers in both
wards were Republicans. In the Fourth
ward the election officer was Democrat,
but made no objection to receiving the votes
of colored men. considerable colored
vote was polled. The Republicans of this
city claim that this is the first election
where colored men have enjoyed their new
right under the fifteenth amendment. A
later dispatch states that colored votes
were rejected in two wards by Democratic
officers

TRACTION ENGINEs.-The practical ques-
ton in regard to these engines appears at
last to have been solved by Mr.. R. W.
Thompson, engineer, OF Edinburg. The
tires of his engine, which ore very broad,
are made of heavy bands of India-rubber
fastened by strips of steel. These wear
very we'll, do not jar the engine too much,
and give q good hold on rough ground, and
do not sink too deeply in mud. The cars,
too, have very broad tread-wheels. These
engines have been run for some time sue
ccssfully in Leith, Edinburg, and Paris, at
speed of eight miles an hour. The India
rubber tires wearyery we'll.

The carpet-bagger Chahoon has tempo
rarily triumphed in the contest for the
mayoralty of Richmond, Va, as it was ex-
pected when he got the case before that des-
picable partisan, Judge Underwood, who
has spent his whole term Of service in Vir-
ginia defending on the bench the usurpa-
tons and enormities of the carpet-bagging
crowd. The best lawyers in Virginia and
in Washington have declared that Under
wood could take no jurisdiction in the case,
and they have also declared with as great
unanimity that Chahoon was clearly wrong.
But the Infamous Underwood literally
knows no law that conflicts with the aspi-
ratons of the crowd of which he is o mem
