Lieutenant A. A. Cartpr: Iu Jvtr Sir: Yours, of the loth, is received. 1 am ala s Klad to hear from you. . . i . I expected there would le all sorts ot speculation in regard to the bill which 1 introduced last Monday. The purpose ot the Sill was to relieve every man of all disabilities. 1 replied to "Ward's q . tion" if that bill would not relieve "Jetf. Iiavis." Yes. it made a cleau sweep. 1 am sorrv t" iearn that some persons are charging me with selling out to the "li riusracy." This, air, is a grand mis take, ami a great injustice to me. Never, no. i . vrr, will 1 join with the " Demo crats." i may do many other thing by some considered worse, but beiug so well ac quainted with the doings of the leaders of that niched old party, I am compelled to shy clear of it M like a blind horse passing a slaughter pen ;" "tor I know m, - -nine rotteuness about that es tablishment ;" as you very linlhfnllj Maid in i"iir letter, that 1 bail laid l-d- re the l ouuiiiit.e on Reconstruction, all the tacts in regard to the overthrow of our rilate cm rniiieut, showing the cause, the means used, how, when and by whotu. After doing all this, the consid eration ot M case has been postponed until the next session of Congress. This I contend, is due Pi the people, not that I would have them declare the present (S'.a e govermueut null aud void, without a good and just cau.se, but decisive Slid final action should have been had, fco that our people, of all parties, would know exactly what to depend upon, and what course to pursue iu the future. This much waa due us, to ay the least. I'nder the present Constitution of our State, all males over twentv-one years of age are eutiilej lo vote, and iu considera tion of that f.iet, all should be eligible to bold ofloe should the present Govern ment remain in force. This, you know, is no new doctrine with me, " 1 have al wavs held, tnt if a man was qualified to vote, he waa qualified to hold office, and ha should no: be debarred from it. Again, I do not see the ground or rea son for so much speculation iu regard to my motives; for it is well known, from oue end of the State to the other, to every man, woman and child, who baa beard me on the - .and, in privat aonversation, or in print has read my opinions ever aiuce the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment U the Constitution of the Vnited States, xoowa 1 have been in favor of relieving every man of his disabilities when applying to have them removed, and in this 1 have not failei or refused in a -mj;!e inatance. I have, during the present session, pre sented a bill lo the House every Monday, with scarcely an exception, lot -the last five months, containing from five to twenty names, and ave proclaimed on the Boor that I waa ready and willing to relieve all who desired it. After having present's bill after bill every Monday 4-onlaiuing the names of so many of the leaders, it occurs to :ue thai il would seem but natural for a man situated as 1 am, to endeavor to make oue bill answer for all, and ihirebv save paper, iuk, lime and further trol'bie. In a word, if you re fuse i iet a man vote, you can very prop erly s-1 he shall not hold office; but if you i lare be may v ote, you cannot oaaf sisieniiv sav he shall not hold office. As 1 said b f re, ibis it no new doctrine w ith lue. 1 took this grouud in the canvass of I-.-.,, when iny op u'.s said. " I a'l vole, but not hold office." I contended if a man waa a voter, be should be aiao able lo bold office. But, saiu some, it will let in such men aa Lee, Davi, Har ris, Toomlis, anil other loaders. Well, suppose it uoes tiot l he Gover hand live long him guilty of i ing on his wife L-re is Ibe wrong I tiaa nt bad Jeff. Davis in rs? Have they proved gle thing, except hav uiooal or dress when Did not the President be was offer a r of one hundred thousand i arrest? Was 1 not a mem dolu ber f the committee that divided the monev between the two regiments that captured him? One hundred thousand dollars of the people'a monev paid to cap ture this, great criminal, auu yet no proof of his having couitoitiert treason, high crimes, or misdemeanors. Nothing posi tive against bim except ! above stated. Aa for Gen. Lee, I vrould ask, would not a thousand men la the rebel army have been proud of and accepted the pd aitiou of Commander-in-Chief of ibe Con federate forces. Gen. Grant aald to President Johnson, When be wanted to arrest and try him: 'You muat let lien. Lee alone; you can't try or hurt him while he obeervee bis parole." , They aay, also, .here is that great trai tor Bob Tooinla, are you going to let him in' Yes, let him in; perhaps Ackerman, the new Attorney General, mav need hia assistance and aa he had once gi en Ack ruiau a phwaon his staff it would seem trat natural that auch a turn about would tie but lair play. Jiyw, lr, you uau ae the mol.vea thai have actuated me. There baa been and will be no Inconsistency In my couree. I have proclaimed from every stump that I was In favor of relieving every man, If be would simply signify his desire to have bis dtaabibi'es removed. Under those oircnaMtan-xai.f they were all to stgn the same petition, I would be compelled t3 grant their relief, or falsify my former pledges. , Now, air, there is another point gained if we make a clean sweep. That is, you narrow the thing down to two parties, the Republican "d the old Democratic. The ir..,...i.nM mil forward their truest and men; the latter would of course do -jame. There would iw uo middle, or ? sand eider men. They would stand no .banco. To illustrate: Suppose there is a clean aweeo and all relieved. Dorsey R. Thomas and Col. Witt home are can did. aes for Conree a Republican steps out Dorsey would have to throw up the sponge or the Republican would steeia. or course Dorsev could have no snow a -.: Witlln rne. '..r Col. W. was H ' rue and tried rebel soldier ami a Democrat while Dorsey was neither. This is as it should be, for I tell you iu all candor that 1 would prefer to be represented In Con gress by a straight-out ex-rebel soldier than a .iiiasi I'nion man and mischief maker like Dorsey and others of the same stripe. Iu conclusion, I will state that I shall introduce to-morrow another bill with four t) classes excepted, end if thai fails I will then try to press one through to relieve ever man iu my own Congres sional district, so aa to let on the track Savage, Gardenhire, Dibbrell, Colmes, Murray and others, and then for a jolly time. After asking your pardon for the length of this letter, I am truly your iriend, W. B.HTOKKS. P. S. Since writing the above, the Re construction Committee, through their chairman, introduced a general bill, with only two or three classes excepted, which saved me the trouble of preaentiug a Hvnd bill, as indicated above. Whether the course being pursued by me waked up the oommittee or not, it is a fact they nave been from some cause induced to moye, and I trust the movement may prove auoceesful, and thereupon " let us nave peace."

The Democratic Senators and members in Congress, at a caucus held last night, agreed upon an address, which was to-day signed aud issued, as follows: lo our i'eUuw citizen of the Vnited stolen, yriendn uf CoruitUuticmal, Econo mical ami Honext Government: The un dersigned beg leave to call your attention to the peculiar importance ot the electiona which take place this year, and respect fully lo submit suggestions for your con sideration. By the State Legislatures to be elected nearly one-third ot the I'uited Slates Seuate will be chosen, and nearly all the members ot the next House of Representatives are to be elected next fall. I'pon the coming elections, then, depends the question whether the Demo cratic and Conservative element in the Seuate shall be increased, and whether that element shall have a majority of Rep resentatives iu the House ol Representa tives, and as a consequence whether we shall have a constitutional, economical and houesl Government, or a continu ance of revolutionary, extravagant and wilfnl partisau rule; whether we shall have a general, uniform, just and constitutional legislation, with rea sonable taxation and frugal ex penditure, or an unconstitutional, partial, unjust and class legislation, with oppressive and unequal taxation and wasteful expenditure. That we have sirong reasons to hope for a favorable result is plainly apparent. The electious already held clearly show that the tide of reform has set in with a power that can't be resisted. Let no blunders be commit ted by the frienda of reform. If they do their duty and act wisely, if they throw off all apatbv aud act with vigor an 4 steadfastness, there is every reason hope iheir efforts will be rewarded by success. Let there be no dissensions about minor matters; no time lost in the discussion wf dead wants; no manileeta t;on of narrow or proscriptive feeling; no sacrifice of the cause to gratify person al ambition or reseutmenl; and let the best men be chosen fur candidates, and we may hope to see our country trom inisriiie. And ; beg leave to say i eMtaaaaof the somht'lB I'laUM. po no risk the loss of Senators or Ret. reseat alives by electing uieu who cannot take the test oath, or who are under the ility taapoaed by the iiftejatth Amendment. Whatever maybe saw an to the valwiity of that amendment, or of the test oath act, you may rest assured Senators elected by the votea of members of the Legislatures who are held by the Radicals to bo thus disqualified, will not be permitted to lake Iheir seats, and that the members ot the House of Represeutaliveslbus disqualified will also i excluded. It is the plainest dictate of practical wisdom not to incur any such risks. e nope soon to see me uay w neu all disabilities will be removed, but in l meantime we eutreat yon, do not uise t opiortunity to strengthen the Democrat ic and couservalivo force iu Congress, and the possibility, nav, probability, of ob taining a majority iu the next House of Representatives," by putting it in the power of our adversaries to overthrow and disregard your elections.
