THE ELECTION X/UV'5.
The Legislature (of the Restored Govern,
mont) of Virginia passed the following act
on the 22d of June, 1865 ;
1. Beit enacted, etc., That elections shall
be held in the several Congressional Dis
tricts of this State for representatives in the
Congreis of the United States, on the second
Thursday in October, 1865.
2. That elections shall he held ou said day
in the several counties and corporations in
which such elections have not already been
held for members of the General Assem
bly.
3. That the said election shall be held and
conducted, and returns and certificates
thereof made, and the like proceedings had
in relation thereto, in all respects, as pre
scribed by existing laws, excepting where
such laws shall be inconsistent with this act.
4. That this act shall he in force from its
passage.
Chapter 8 of the Code of I860 prescribed
the mode of ascertaining and certifying elec
tions; but the Legislature at Wheeling, on
the 31st of January, 1862, passed an act
changing the manner of exatuiuing polls,
etc., which materially modifies a portion of
the said chapter. If the election law in the
Code had been changed by amendment and
re-enactment, as far as desired, instead of*
by the adoption of changes here and there,
the third section ol the eighth chapter
would read as follows :
3. In all cases in elections lor election dis
tricts, or Senatorial or Congressional dis
tricts, the Commissioners superintending t ho
elections at the court-houses of the several
counties or corporations forming such dis
tricts shall, within three days after such
election is concluded, deliver a certified
statement of the result of the election in
said county, to be ascertained [by comparing
the poila of the different voting places in
said county, and striking therefrom such
votes as are required by law 10 ne suhkcu
t herefrom,J to the Clerk of the County Court
of such county, whose duty it shall be, as
soon as he may be able, to record such re
sult in a book for that purpose to be kept in
his office, and trausmit a certified copy ot
such result (which shall lie written in words,
and not in figures,) to the Clork of the County
Court of the county first named in tho law
describing snob districts, whose duty it shall
be on a certain day appointed by law from
tho commencement of such election, which
certain day of any election from a district of
a Delegate shall be the fifteenth, ot a Senator
the twentieth, of a Representative in Con
gress shall be the thirtieth alter such com
mencement, in the presence of two free
holders, to open and examine such copies so
transmitted and compare the returns from
the respectivo counties, and declare the per
son having the greatest number of votes in
the whole district duly elected in the manner
and form now prescribed by law ; and shall
record the same in his office, and transmit a
copy thereof to the person so elected, and a
like copy to the Clerk of tho House to which
such person is elected, to be preserved by
him ; which certified copy shall be sufficient
evidence of his election aud entitle hint to
his seat.
In contesting elections, reference may lie
had by either party to the records of any
county or counties from which (front any
cause) suclt returns may not have been re
ceived or counted by the clerk giving such
certificate.
When parts of counties belong to such dis
tricts, such returns shall be transmitted by
the officers conducting such elections to the
clerk of the county first named in tho dis
trict as aforesaid.
The two preceding paragraphs constitute
the 2d and 3d sections of the act of January
31st, 1862. The 4fli section makes special
provisiol for ascertaining the result of an
election whicli took place in May 1862. The
5th section repeals “all acts aud parts ot acts
inconsistent with tho provisions of this act.”
In the 1st section, as passed, the words
“in the manner now prescribed by law” fol
low the word “ascertained” where it first
occurs. We have substituted for them, be
tween brackets, the unrepealed words which
occur after “ascertained” in the Code (page
88, 3d sec., 5th line.)
The remainder of the sectiou after the in
terpolated clause, and “to tho,” are entirely
distinct from the provisions of the Code, ex
cept the clause commencing “on a certain
day,” which now reads iu the Code as fol
lows :
a — on a certain day after that appointed
by law for the commencement of such elec
tion ; which certain day in the case of an
election Irom a district of a delegate shall be
the 8th, of a senator shall be tfio 12th, and
of a representative in Congross shail be the
15th after such commencement.”
The italicized words, it will be observed,
are omitted from the Wheeling act, and the
time for ascertaining the result ot an elec
tion is extended, in view 01 tne importance
of a correct apprehension of the law, and
uniformity of action on the part of officers
conducting the October election, the Gover
nor should cause special instructions to he
sent to them, and to the clerks of the coun
ty courts, based upon the act of January
31st, 18G2.
THE PHQSN1X BANK DEFALCATION.
Au examination of the parties charged
with complicity in the Phoenix Bank detal
cation took place at New York, on Thurs
day, wheu Mr. Parker, cashier of the bank,
gave the following testimony as to the dis
covery of the defalcation :
I have examined the hooks of the bank,
compared them with the cash, and found
that the deficit amounted to $300,000 in the
department of the paying teller; Jenkins
has acted as paying teller up to the time of
the discovery of the defalcation ; 1 have
seen the woman under arrest once before in
his room ; was present at the interview with
her here. (.wr. Stuart objected to the wit.
ness stating what took place, and Mr. McKe
on withdrew his question.) Jenkins' duties
as paying teller ceased on the 0th of August
—the day upon which the discoveries of the
defalcation were made ; I made the discov
ery as follows : It was my custom every day to
go round aud take a look at the tellers’ books,
in order to see the condition of the bank,
and its strength in legal tender notes ; that
morning I saw several large items which
were denominated “mixed money”—a pro
ceeding contrary to the rules of the bank,
which require legal tenders to he kept sepa
rate from other money, in order that we
may know our strength and be able to make
the necessary returns for taxation ; I called
Mr. Jenkins’ attention to the fact that these
items were thus marked.
Mr. Stuart here objected, on the ground
that whatever Jenkins had said was in refer
enec to larceny already perpetrated, and
therefore affected only his own ease.
Judge Ledwith said that it was not his pro
vince to try the case at present, but merely
to see if any offence had been committed;
be would, therefore, decide against Mr,
Stuart’s objection.
INTERESTING DETAILS.
Examination of the witness resumed—I
called Mr. Jenkins’ attention to the matter,
and he gave me no satisfactory answer to
my question as to why they were not sepa
rated; 1 then wished to sec the notes; he
said thev were down stairs in the vault; I
told him I wished to see them, and sent a
porter down after them; lie brought up a
trunk of notes, and upon opening it I found
a largo amount of State currency, evidently
insufficient to account (or those items I had
seen; I then began to suspect that there was
something ont of the way; in examing tho
making up of the cash I {Uncovered certain
entries in the book for which there
was no corresponding items of cash;
while calling off the items Jenkins picked
up apiece of paper and called off from that,
and when I asked him for the cash which
that paper represented, he said at first, look
ing down that it was iu a trunk standing un
der his desk; he endeavored to put me off; I
glanced in the trunk and saw several small
bundles of notes, which I knew were not
sufficient to account lor the large items; 1
asked him where the money was; he replied
that it was there, again ret'erring me to tho
trunk; lie afterward said that he did not
know where it was; then looking up into my
face, he declared himself a ruined man.
Q. What did lie say ? A. “1 am a ruined
man.”
(J. What else did he say t A. Then he
said to mo that he had taken ihe money,
and mentioned Ihe name of Earlu.
Mr. Stuart objected.
Justice Ledwith sustained the objection.

LETTER FROM BISHOP ELLIOTT.
HIS CONDITIONS OF UNION-MEMORY
OF GEN. BISHOP POLK—THE LATE
SOUTHERN BISHOPS—“ NO FRA
TERNIZATION WITH THOSE WHO
nmirr n WTT T.TNfiT V nTQTTTPR THkTP
ASHES.”
The following letter from Bishop Elliott,
of Georgia, touching the possible re-union
ofthe Episcopal Church, appears in the York
I'hnrch Journal, to a letter from the editor
of which it is a rejoinder. The letter is
dated Augusta, August 1st, 1865 :
l am very glad that you have gone so much
at large into the question of the re-union of
the Church, as it gives me an opportunity of
placing before roil my views in regard to the
matter, which differ somewhat front your
own, as expressed in your letter to me, and
also from the action of the Church iu the
Diocese of Texas.
My objection to the action of the Diocese
of Texas is not so much as to what she has
done, as toiler maimer of doing it. That
re-union will take place and that very soon,
I have no doubt, but it ought to take place
in such wise as to preserve our good faith to
our brethren and lo each other. Texas
seems to have forgotten that as the Protes
tant Episcopal Cblirch in the Confederate
States wo performed certain acts which need
recognition and conformal ion, and which
should not he left, in justice U» others, with
out settlement in the very act of re-union.
Of these, the consecration of Bishop Wil
mer is the most important, not only on his
own account, hut because it involves all his
official acts since his entrance upon his epis
copate. Besides this we have admitted Ar
kansas as a diocese and have elected Bishop
Lay as its Diocesan Bishop. These acts do
not indeed involve such momentous conse
quences as the other, but they are, never
tholess, ol importance enough to demand
recognition.
Besides, l think that it is our duty to guard
the memory of our deceased Bishops, Shade,
Ole•/, «nd especially our beloved hoik. Not
that we should expect any endorsement from
the General Convention ol their views and
actions, hut that we should feel assured that
no reproach, either direct or implied, will
be cast upon their graves. About ourselves,
the living, we care hut little, we are here
and can defend ourselves ; but the reputation
of the dead is in our keeping, and we can fra.
temUe with nobody who would willingly disturb
their uthes. They have l-ved and died for <ts,
and however wrong others may think them, we
revere their memory and weep over their graves.
Nor, I frankly say it, do I anticipate, when
recalling the worthy high-toned men who
once formed our General Convention, any
action that would ho disparaging to them or
painful to us; but yet I loci it to he the duty
ofthe Church over which I have been called
temporarily to preside, to guard against any
sucli possibility. Silence, if you please, but
let it be distinctly understood that there shall
not be a word of obloquy or dispraise. Let
them s;and or fall to their .Master and our
Master; one far more competent to judge of
them and us than we aro ol each other.
In pursuance of these preliminary views
my opinion is, as I have already expressed
to Bishop H. Potter, in reply to the letter
to which you make allusion in yours, “that
if at the meeting of the General Convention
in October, that body was to pass a joint re
solution, returning thanks lor peace, and ex
lead to a reunion of the dioceses, and ap
pointing a committee of Bishops, Clergy and
Laity to meet a like committee from our
Council, which sits in November, with lull
power to conclude an arragement, there will
be no further difficulty.
1 cannot now speak authoritatively for any
body, but my opinion is that by this method
we can 1>« saved from much trouble in the
future. God knows that J for one desire
nothing more beartily than peace, but tnen
it must be peace which is pure, sincere, and
without hypocrisy. I hav.o beet, probably,
as earnest a Southern man as anybody, and
yet I never found any fault with the Church
up to the moment of our secession. What
has happened since on either side has not
arisen from the normal action of our organi
zation, hut from extraneous influences which
have now partially ceased, and will soon en
tirely cease."
“1 like this pian better," so I continue to
Bishop Potter, “than our going hack and
casting ourselves upon mercy and sufferance,
not because of any false pride, but because
I think that the te-union wilt be more cordial
and the feelings of self-respect will be bet
ter preserved on both sides. And the Church
should desire to maintain and uphold the
self-respect of all its members, remembering
that they are of the Body of Christ. In this
way shall we become, in our te-union, tbe
admiration of the couutry, as we were for so
many years, during all the tierce wrangling
which preceded secession, its wonder, for
our reticence and control."
So much for the Church : now for myself.
You wonder in your letter, that the Bishop
of Georgia did not lead the way in such ac
tiou as the Bishop of Texas has taken. I
could not conscientiously have done so, for
the reasons given above, even had I desired
it, and I confess that I was not anxious to
be first to submit myself to tbe yoke which
had been prepared for me. It is very easy
for you, sitting in the midst ol plenty, with
everything flourishing about you, with the
world fawning upon yon because of success,
with a future seemiDgly as bright as pros
perity can make it, to wonder at our back
wardness in acknowledging the blessings of
peace and reunion ; but the case is very dif
ferent with us whose homes are desolate,
whose friends aDd relatives and. children are
utterly impoverished, whose social order Is
totally subverted, whose future is dark and
almost hopeless. I can humble myself uu ter
the mighty hand of God, and l call my peo
ple to patience and endurance; but, even
through grace, I can do no more. I do uot
mean to complain; we entered upon this strug
g!e, which was irrepressible and forced upon
us, after having counted the cost; but
I should be a hypocrite if T came for Kara
with any smile upon my face, and said that I
rejoiced in it. I do not rejoice in it; but I
have taken the oath of allcgianco, and mean
to keep it; and have advised my people to
take It and be good citizens, and above all to
do the best lor the poor, unfortunate ne
groes, whoso future is dark and miserable
beyond conception. Already are they per
ishing by thousands, and the whole race will
now go out before civilization (so called) and
competition, as the Iudians are doing. We
can survive the change, and one day flourish
again, but not they; their J'ale is sealed; and
the edict of Puritanism has already gone
forth, “If you cannot and will not work, you
must die." The farthest I can go in behalf
of these fanatics is to cry, “Father, forgivo
them, for they know not what they do.”
1 cannot write any mote now. My heart
is too full. I have written to you frankly
and fully, and you can make any use of this
letter you please. My opinions I desire to
be known; I wish nothing concealed before
re union, and therefore am I glad that my
sermon over tbe body ot my beloved friend
and brother, Polk, was republished In tbe
Christian Witness. If I have erred, andean
be shown my error, I shall be ready, by the
grace of God, to humble myself and acknow.
ledge my sin; but uutil then, I wish all my
words and deeds to be “before all Israel and
before the 3un.” I am afraid of only one
judge, and Ho is the judge of the conqueror
as well as the conquered. Success, with Him,
is not the measure of right and reward.
