A Decision Bearing on the August
Election,

In smother column Is copied sn article
from the Esrbiy CXS7s citing s case
decided By the House Of Representatives
that Sross under the Restored GovG1-
meat Of Virgins, bearing directly On The
validity Of the August election The
principle decided Is stated TO BE- ThXi
when $ Coaveatioa sod Legislature sre IN
existence in $ State ST the sane tine the
Convention cannot assume legislative
f1Dctioas in the presence CT the LegislA-
tuce and IL the tine and place 70. Goa.
gressio2Al election We wriie this with
ont having examined the report on the
case referred to in the CHioa. II the de-
c!sion Is IS stated, it seems on its face to
be strong precedent &gains; the validity
Of electing members Q! Congress in Al
gust The case is no; exactly parallel
bat stronger than il iiwere The Con-
ventjon which assumed to III 8 different
day from tbs; prescribed BY the Legi.ls.
!stuee, wss the Convention that met in
this city June II, 1861 and which certain.
y exercised some original powers Ii ii
could not override legislative set, still
less could q Constitutional Convention do
50.
Now, il this decision Is tAtsl 10 the le.
gality Of the election o. members Of Con.
gress in August, is it not equally so to the
election Of other officers ST the sane
time: Congressman were voted for be.
Cause the Convention had changed the
general election, ST which the Code pro-
vided they should be chosen, from Ocio.
Der to August II the Convention could
not exercise legislative power 50 IS to
atec; The time OF elecdng CongceSsmer,
could it legislaie so IS TO order the cleo.
ton CT other officers on different day iron
thsi prescribed in the ststute: Could ii
in shoEt, exercise any legislative powers
beyond simply submitting the Consttu.
ton, IS authorized By the Legislature:
Our position hiss been from the frs;
that the election OF members o! Congress
in August was just exactly IS valid as the
election Of the StS,e, county and district
officers al the same time, both depending
alike for their validity on the power Of
the Convention TO order & general elec.
lion and change the time Of holding it
from October to August. At the same
time We have constantly expressed the
belief that the CONVENTION could not DO
this, and that, therefore, neither election
had any warrant Of lAw.

A SENSITIVE Crvn OFT1cER-Mr PinchbaeF,
the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, recou9Ned
on Tuesday to the Senate ofthat State the details
of an attempt made by Mfr. Weed the owner OF
the New Orleans Evening Times, and MS E1cel- ~
lency Governor Warmouth" to corrupt ms inSeg-
rity In the native and simple language OF MT.
Pinchback sat the dead hour Of midnlgnt tnese
persons came TO him and "made proposltion'
they offered him fifty thousand dollars II ne
would enter into certain conspiracy, ana IN
his own concise words he replied, II toid tneiil
then and there that would consider the matter.
AS he said afterward, he "slept on the PROPOSE.
tion," and then heartlessly, but "respec'iuiiv,
declined to become n conspirator.
This painful story, however, was denied WIN
far rs it related to Mr.. Weed
in the editorial columns of the Times, Mr.. Finch
back thereupon, in his own severe style, maze ihe
following remarks in the Senate
Il owe it to myself and Mr.. Weed to state that
he was not present at the meeting. as III my neat
had first stated. lie was in an entirely different
room, and the doors were closed between u.s. lie
came to the house with Mr.. Warmoth, but ne was
not present at the time the offer was made, owe
this to Mr. Weed, as gentleman whom, know,
and to my own dignity and feelings.
Sir John Falsiaff did not say better thnS'
when, Prince Henry having confessed to the
of which the fat knight had ac-
cused Mistress Quickly, he turned to that virtuo'is
woman and said "liostess, I forgive thee. Go,
make ready breakfast; love thy husband, look TO
thy servants, cherish thy guests. Thou shalt ma
me tractable to any honest reason. Thou seest,
| am pacifcd."-N i. Post.

Constitutional Conventions.

Constitutional Conventions have been ono of
the chief means by which the Radicals and carpet
baggers in the Southern States have secured and

elected, his opponent, Baxter, being Trustworthy
supporter OF the Administration, is to inaugu.

ssnt there no doubt to be used for the purpose of
assisting in the attempt to reverse the result of
the popular election.
