THE DISABILITY QUESTION. --The Richmond
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER %.

The DISABILITY QUESTION. Richmond
Enquirer of to-day publishes correspondence
between Thos. H. Tutwiler, of Fluvanna county,
and r. w. Hughes, Z. S. Attorney for the
western district of Virginia, i'll reference to the
eligibility of those who hold o6ice prior to or
during the war, to seats in the Legislature.
After discussing at length, the question whether
member Of the Legislature is all officer, and
arriving at the conclusion that suchis the case,
MIR. Hughes gives it as his opinion that such
persons are not eligible, and adds:
''But it is to be remembered that there is no
provision of law by which a member OF State
Legislature can be prevented by the legal Off
rrrs Of the United States from taking his seat
in the body to which he mas been elected. Or
dinarv officers of the State, who take office
while laboring under disabilities, may be re-
moved by proceedings in the national courts.
The act Of Congress of 3lst May, 1870, known
rs the Enforcement Act in its fourteenth Sec
ton makes it the duty of United States attor-
MES to proceed by writ Of quo warranto against
such persons, other than Legislators, and to GUST
them from Office. But this section excerpts
from the officers so required to bc removed,
members of Congress and of State Legislatures
1t treats them, however, as officers.
The fifteenth section Of the Enforcement
Act, on the other hand does not except this
class of men from liability to Indictment. 1t
subjects to indictment all officers, including
State legislators and national congressman,
holding Office in violation Of the third clause
of the fourteenth amendment and it pre-
scribes as the penalty for violating this clause.
Imprisonment tor not more than one year, or
fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or
both, at the discretion Of the court. The at
torncys of the United States are therefore re-
uuired to prosecute in all such cases upon pro-
per information before grand juries or commis'
siOners
Twill add the expressior'ef an earnest hope,
that members elect to the Legislature, who arc
laboring under disabilities, will not take their
seats until some effort shall have been made
for the rcmova! of their disabilities. am glad
to see it stated that our Senators will promptly
Introduce into Congress bill for that purpose
on the assembling of that body. For one,
would be rojoiced by the early passage of bill
Of general amnesty because do not see why
any Of us, who took part for the Confederacy
should be preferred over others and because
class legislation is always invidious and odious.
Until the removal ofthe disabilities OF those
who lie under them. however, we must enforce
the law az it u.s.

Elder Orson Pratt, in the Mormon Taberna-
Gle at Salt Lake city, on Saturday, preached
with great carnestness in favor OF polygamy.
He said that polygamy was one of the chief tc-
nets Of the Mormon religion, and if that was
taken away the religion would be destroyed,
and the proposal to give up polygamy for the
sake of a State organization, or for any other
purpose, would never receive the consent Of the
Mormon people In fact the Mormons would
not surrender polygamy, or any other part OF
their religion, for any Government. These re-
marks were received with loud cries, all over
