r. ". Huohes. United States Attorney

R. W. Hughes, United States Attorney
Dear Sir--At the request of HI. Clay
Harris, l write to learn your opinion on
the following case, which he says he wishes
10 bring before the United States court :
A. A. Gray was elected at the late elec-
ton member of the House of Delegates
from this county. In the early part of
1861 Gray qualified, by appointment of the
Circuit Judge of this county, commissioner
in chancery for the Circuit court in this
county. He held the same appointment
during the war. The question is Is he
eligible to a seat in the General Assembly
of Virginia? Is he not disqualified by the
third section of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United States !?
You will confer favor as well upon Mr..
Harris as myself, if you will give me your
views on this question at your earliest con-
venience.
Yours, very respectfully,
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-11-28

statement in justice to Mr.. Pohlig and his

Although there have been no slides during
the last forty-cjght hours they are momcn-

Orson Pratt, in the Tabernacle yester-
day, preached with great earnestness in

one Of the chief tenets of the Mormon re-
lglon, and if that was taken away the re-
lgion would be destroyed, The proposal

would never receive the consent OF the
Mormon people. In fact, the Mormons
would not surrender polygamy, or any
part OF their religion, for any government.
The remarks were received with loud cries
all over the house of "That's so we
won't"
A dispatch from the Tintic mining dis
trlct says that terrible storm has been
raging there for the last six hours, accom-
panied with sleet and snow, and that it is
still showing and blowing. Another slide
IN Cottonwood is reported, by which four
men lost their lives. The snow at Alta

MORE THAN HE COULD STAND UP
uNDER.-This morning horse attached
to o dray on which were piled goods enough
for two loads, was literally crushed to the
ground, at the intersection of Main and
Fourteenth streets, by the excessive
weight. When down, he was utterly una
BILE to rise, till feed from the gearing. The
dray had on it four barrels of whiskey, one
barrel of sugar, and quite number of
boxes and bundles--not less than two
thousand pounds in all. 1t is simply cruel
thus to load a single animal, and we do
think that the authorities should take inn
mediate cognizance of such cases. Even on
level ground such load as this is too
great it is outrageous when the animal is
expected to climb the Main street hill.

lead in forming society for the prevention

Greetings From Maine,

Rcpublicanism Is still in the ascen
dent away down east. The returns OF
Mondays voting in Maine show no
discount on our former majorities in
that State, but rather substantial
gain. Last year Perham { Rep was
elected over Roberts (Democrat) by
a majority of 9,506 votes Estima-
ting Perhams majority over Kimball,
his Democratic competitor this year.
on the basis of the Republican gains
in the one hundred and twenty-eight
towns heard from, and it will reach,
if not exceed, eleven thousand. This
result taliIes with that of every State
election held since that of New Hamp-
shire last spring, in showing that the
vigor of Republicanism is unabated,
and its hold upon the confidence of
the people mistaken. The partial de-
feat sustained in New Hampshire was
the resul} of exciting and distracting
causes just then at the hight of their
infiuence,-The San Domingo debate
and the sumner imbroglio in the Sen
ate. But the calmness and harmony
which have since succeeded in the par
Republican ranks, have permitted the
to re-collect its energies for the de-
termined conflict which is before it.
Everywhere we note the same salts
factory results :-COnnecticut an un-
expected Republican victory; in
North carolina the Same in Kentucky
unprecedented Republican gains; in
California splendid triumph; in
Wyoming Republican gains giving
assurance that that territory will be
fore long pass into a Republican
State; and in Maine the good old
story of Republican majorities hand
somely increased. There is every
thing in these indications to incite the
party with an absolute assurance of
victory in the fall elections yet to be
held Ohio must not be one whit be-
hind California and Maine in the good
work of crushing reputation" and
keeping down the Ku Klux conspi-
racy in the South C. Lender.

The doiEgs of Democratic thieves
in New York City, have so aroused
the people of all parties Of that me-
tropolis that the matter found its way
into Court before Democratic Judge
and after trial, perpetual injanc-
ton wasgranted. The announcement
of this is hailed with joy by homer
able people everywhere. The Gin
cinnati Gazette, of Monday, says;
The injunction of the New York
City government by Judge BARNARD,
forbidding it to pay any more claims
until there is reconstruction of GER
tain departments, is the weightiest
judicial intervention ever made in
this country. 1t has brought to terms
a set of robbers, who supposed them
selves secure by their control of an
ignorant mass of voters, and by the
supiness of the great business COM
munity. They supposed that the pub
lie ear had become so wonted to the
partisan charge of fpeculation and pub
lie plunder that it could not injure
them in such a city as New York
But they have been attacked and
routed by the press, which has been
compelled to fall in and support the
gallant charge made by the Times.

Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-09-21

The Tammany excitement in New
York shows no sign; of abating. Con-
troller Connolly replies to Mayor
Hall that the appointment of Nh.
Green as deputy does not vacate the
office of Controller, and in this opin
ion he is sustained by MIR. O'Conor,
the well known lawyer. Gen. Nc
Clellan ueclines to accept Mayor
Halls apr ointment as Controller. The
Democratic State Central Committee
seem determined to overthrow the
power of Tammany Hall, a resolution
they have been forced to take by the
rural Democracy.
