The Decision of Judge Hans In the
Case of the Clerk of the Hustings
Court of Peterehurg. '
This remarkable decision has not hereto
fore attracted the notice it deserves. The
Democratic press of Virginia has been
prompt to condemn in advance the claim of
Senator Abbott to a seat iv the Senate of
the United States, and to denounce un
sparingly the attempt to seat him in that
body on the ground of the ineligibility of
his opponent, and that he having been the
only eligible and lawful candidato before
the Legislature of North Carolina, was du
ly elected. The Index and Courier of
Judge Mann's own city, have severely crit
icized and stigmatized Abbott for setting
up such a claim, and tbe United States
Senate for entertaining it, and yet they
have appiovcd and sustained tha decis.ou
of Judge Mann who gives a certificate of
election to a candidate dofoated by an
overwhelming majority at the polls, and
declares him elected to the responsible of
fice of clerk of the Hustings court of the
city of Petersburg for the term of six
years.
Our principal object in bringing this
matter before the public at this time, is to
direct attention to this decision as a prece
dent. If it is generally accepted as law
ful and just—if it is to be considered that
ia all similar cases that may herealter
occur, similar decisions may be rondered,
we have no exceptions to tako. We are
willing to accept as a principle in law,
"that whenever one party who is ineligible
is a candidato for office, his opponout who
Is eligible, is entitled to the certificate of
election, no matter what the result of the
vote ;" and this is what Judge Mann's de
cision amounts to. We believe Mr. Davis
was eligible to the office awarded Mr.
Armistead, on the first day of July—the
day he would have qualified but for Judge
Mann's decision, and we suppose this is
the point that will bo made, and on which
the case will turn in the United States
court where it is proposed to test it. And
we aro informed that all parties are ready
to acquiesce in tho decision so far as it ap
plies to giving the certificate of election to
the eligible candidate without regard to the
' vote.
As no possible question exists as to the
ineligibility of Governor Vance to a seat
in the United States Senate, and as Gen.
Abbott wa3 the only eligible and lawful
candidate voted for, we call upon the press
of Virginia, that has openly or silently
approved of Judge Mann's decision, to
advocate the application of the same prin
ciple in the Congress of the United States,
to urge the rejection of Govornor Vance's
credeutials and the immediate admission
of General Abbott as Senator for six years
from the State of North Carolina. We
are aware of the fact that this principle
has never been recognized by tho Ameri
can CoDgress; that never in its history
bas it admitted to a seat in oither body a
contestant on this ground of ineligibility
of opponents. It has always rejected this
plea, and remanded tho case to the people.
But we are also aware that Congress has
never before been able to avail itself of
the wisdom of Judge Maun. Unfor
tunately for themselves, our Senators and
representatives have heretofore, when
reading law or looking up precedents,
been compelled to grope in the dark.
Those in the present Congress have the
advantage of tbem, aud inasmuch as they
hive this advantage and can avail
themselves of the clear, lucid and learned
decision of this sapient judge, they will,
of course, be expected to reverse the de
cisions of former Senates, who were com
pelled to make their decisions without the
assistance of the legal productions of
Jadge Mann, and, as a matter of course,
must give General Abbott the seat he
claims. When this is done, let tho
Democratic press of this Stato and
of North Carolina unite in peans
of praise to this loarned Judge—to
this upright Judge—to this second Daniel
come to judgment—to tho system that
has given us this Judge—to the Legisla
ture for its penetration in discovering his
talents—to the city that has had the honor
of presenting him to the world—and
henceforth and forever let the namo of
Marshall fall into icsigaificence—Virginia
presents to an astonished world another
talented son, the sou of a man named
Harm has arisen I What a shame that
his talents should be hid in the little
Cockade City—presiding over a one-horse
corporation court. They should hava a
wider scope, aud wo nominate him now as
the successor to Judge Chase, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the election of that
functionary to the Presidency by the
Democratic party, ichen that contingency
occurs.

That Burylng-Uround Gift.
Richmond, May 2, 1871.
To th* Editor of the State Journal.
In your issues cf the 28th and 20th,
we noticed an answer to your enquiry,
"Will somebody iutorm us on what
grounds tbe Common Council of Rich
mond gave to the Hebrew congregations a
plat of ground belonging to the ci'y 7"
and a correspondent goes on in a some
what laudable strain in explaining, that in
1816 tbe present burying-grouud was do
nated to the Hebrows of this city, and that
thirty years thereafter another congrega
tion was formed with a steady increase of
population since, and furthermore, that in
consequence of the rebellion the grounds
Was considerably filled up, and particular
ly on account of the latter he justifies the
granting of additional space.
We are by do means adverse to grand '
of this nature by tbe city, and believe
tbem right and just in accordance with
usage and precedents ; provided there is an
urgent necessity for it and 11® lot specula
tions and family preferences are indulged
in, and in this caso in particular, sinco
your correspondent asserted, tl.at the origi
nal ground was granted to the Hebrews of
this city. Now, let ns investigate a little
and see if the writer of the 28th is entirely
correct.
In the first place, when, in 18G6, a new
congregation was formed, who were also
Hebrews of this city, together with an
other and larger established one, they
were informed by tho congregations pre
tending to have control of the ground,
and out of malicious motives, that after n
certain day and rooDth in 1807 they
would do longer be permitted to enter this
ground, except by permission and pay
ment ? Whs this just ? and did this not
entail hardship on their brethren ?
Furthermore, by the exclusion of these
two congregations, numbering some sixty
or seventy families, ought it not to have
iucreasefl the chances of the ground hold
ing out for an indefinite and long period
without an addition. But this could not
be ! On saving and economizing they did
not think. They went immediately lo
work, divided the vacant ground into large
family lots, and enclosed them.
Is the city of Richmond able to give
away its land for family lots ? Further
more when Hebrows not belonging to these
congregations, and who have not had tbe
fortune to smuggle by appointment any ot
their mombers —and moreover such as be
long to tho committee of that "City of the
Dead" into the City Council—thoy are
charged tbo sum of twenty dollars for a
grave, if an antiquated notion of vene
ration tho relatives of the deceased prefer
to bury them in th3t consecrated spot.
While we maintain it just and right that
tho ground should be placed at the dispo
sal of the city whou actually necessary for
such purposes, yet we think it wrong to
give it for speculation,or to tho exclusion
of others of the same faith. •
a
Letter from Washington,
THE NEW TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT —
STREET-RAILWAY —CENTRAL REPUBLI
CAN ASSOCIATION, &C.
Washington, May 1, 1871.
To the Editor of the State Journal :
No recent political event has given
greater satisfaction to the majority of tho
residents of this District than the new
territorial bill, and the election lately held
under its provisions. Although many
object to some of its details, it is generally
conceded, that it provides for a form of
government far superior to that which it
supercedes. Visitors to tho Capital have
been disagreeably impressed with tho
muddy or dusty condition of our other
wise beautiful avenues and streets, and
have wondered at the multitudes of
domestic animals roaming at large. But
this is all to be changed. Many of the
principal streets are now being paved with
wooden or Belgian pavement, and tho now
government will push forward these im
provements energetically. The parking
of some of tho best streets adds much to
tbe beauty of the city, and while tho
failure of the bill to provide a large park
in the heart of the city is to be regretted,
tho new government will find sufficient
opportunities in ctber directions to expend
all its energies to advantage,
The new Board of Health has already
organized aud adopted a constitution and
by-laws, and is actively engaged iv pro
paring for effectivo work. The canal—so
long an offense to the citizens—will re
ceive its early attention, and already plans
are under consideration for tho abatement
of the nuisance. Owners of cattle, hogs
and goats will soon be compelled to remove
thesa animals outside the city limits, one
of tho worst of existing nuisances being
thereby abolished.
Tho Columbia Street Railway is ex
pected to be in operation on the 4th of
July. Its route is from Fifteenth street,
near the Treasury, through New York
avenue to the Northern Liberties market,
thence through Massachusetts avenue and
H stroet, past the government printing
office to tho toll-gate. Tbe cars are very
light, drawn by ono horse, and seat four
teen passengers. The fare will bo six cents!
The directors expect to amend their char
ter at the next session of Congress, to en
able them to extend the road to the Capi
tol and other important points.
Another important event is the forma
tion of the "Central Republican Associa
tion of the States," which is to be com
posed of a president and one delegate from
each State Republican Association, with
an additional delegate for the second, and
each succeeding hundred of its active mem
bership. Its duties are advisory, and not
executive, the object being to promote
harmony and concert of action among tha
different State organizations, and contri
bute to tho advancement of the principles
and objects of the Republican party. At
a recent meeting of the presidents of the
State Associations, Hon. 11. D. Barron, of
Wisconsin, was appointed chairman and
M. M. Kaiglin, of New Jersey, secretary.
A constitution was adopted, and it was re
solved to request each association to send
delegates to a meeting to bo held May 25th
for permanent organization and election of
officors.
Tho growth of Washington sinco tha
close of the war has been remarkable, and
it only needs an efficient government to
make it ono of the most delightful places
in the country. Real estate is rapidly ap
preciating in value, city lots having ad
vanced in some portions of the city thirty
three per cent, in four months. Many men
who came hero as clerks have made them
selves independent by iuvoating their sa
vings in real estate.
The Democratic outcry against frauds
iv the late election has died out very sud
denly, the only case they have been able
to find having been dismissed for want of
evidence. It is doubtful if a fairer election
has ever been held in this country, as the
arrangements for the prevention of illegal
voting were so carefully made that even
the Democrats couldn't evade them. Need
moro be said ?
