Confederate State Legislation.

The question of the validity Of laws
passed by the Legislatures of Southern
States pending the rebellion, and after
they had resolved to withdraw from
the Union and set up q confederation
of their own, has lately been passed up
on in several of the inferior United
States courts, and a few days ago, in an
important case, the subject was re-
viewed by the Supreme Court, The
decision was in accord with equity and
justice, and will have tho effect to set
tic many important questions concern,
ing transactions under those laws and
titles accruiDg through their operation.
The case before the court involved
the regularity of the incorporation of
insurance companies which
were created by acts Of the Legislature
OF Georgia in 1861 and 1868. The
principle affirmed in the judgment, how
ever, applies to the whole range of Con.
federate State legislation. 1t was laid
down by Mr.. Justice Strong, who de.
llvered the opinion Of the court, in the
following terms:
"All the cnactments of the de facto
legislatures in the discretionary
during the war, which were not
hostile to the Union OF to the authori
ty of the General Government, and
which we've not in conflict with the
of the United States or of
the States, have the same validity as if
had been enactmcnts of legitimate
legislatures aud any other doctrine
than this would work great unneccssa.
hardship upon the people of those
States without any corresponding ben
fit to the citizens of other States. and
without any advantage to the Nation
II Government"
The recognition of the regularity of
State legislation with the exceptions
'bove noted from secession to recon
truction will reassure the people Of
he South and greatly promote the
'crfect restoration of order. The sta
'ility of titles and certain and known
Interpretation of old contracts are es

President Grant has written a letter
TO Gen, Harry White, President Of the
recent Pennsylvania Republican State
Convention, which declared against
Grants third term scheme, in which he
says;
"Now, for the third term / do moi
wan. it any more than | did the first.
| would not write or utter q word to
change the will Of the people in eX-
pressing and having their choice. The
question Of the number Of terms al.
lowed to any one Executive can only
come up fairly in the shape of a prop
osilion to amend the Constitution, 4
shape IN which all political parties can
participate, fixing the length OF time or
number Of terms for which any ono
person shall he eligible for the office OF
President. Until such IN amendment
is adopted, the people cannot be res
tricted in their choice by resolution
further than they are now restricted as
to age, nationality, &c. 1t may happen
in the future history Of the country
that to change an Executive because he
has been eight years in office will
prove unfortunate, if not disastrous.
The idea that any man coulG eject him
self President, or even to re.nominate
himself, is preposterous. 1t is a re-
Election upon the intelligence and pa.
Lriotism Of the people to suppose such
Il thing possible. Any man Il des-
troy his chances for the office, but no
one can force an election or even q
nomination.
TO recapitulate, ! am not. nor have
| ever been, n candidate for renomina-
ton. | would not accept q nomina-
ton if 1t were rendered, unless it should
come under such circumstances as to
make it IN imperative duty-circum.
stances not likely to arise"
A special to the Courier Journal,
from Washington, states that the letter
Of President Grant is not regarded as
very clearly defining the position OF the
President on the third term question.
If anything, it is deemed II notice
that he will not decline the nomination
if rendered him, and that he does not
consider his supposed services render
ed as having been fully repaid by his
election to the Presidency for two
terms.
