Election of Senators -Important Correnpon il'nci. Riciwond, Sept. 2!). Tho following is tho correspondence on tho Senatorial question: Headquarters Fikst Military District, Richmond, Vs., Sept. 24, 18fi!t. Hon. Secretary of War, Washington Sir: The question of tho election of Senators in tho Congress of tho United States by tho Legislature, which will assemble In this city on tho 5th proximo, Is one of preat present interest in the State, and many applications have been made for a decision on that point. The subject appears to be so free from dif ficulty, that I have not hesitated to express tho opinion, unofficial ly, that the election of Sena tors was authorized and necessary to complete the reconstruction, and was prescribed by tho law of July 25, 1S05; but that it was not proper for me to make a decision upon n quostlou that addressed itself so directly to tho discretion of the Legislature after it was organized. There are many, however, who are of the opi nion that this action is in some way restricted by the opinion of the Attorney-General of August 2S, 1809, and I have the honor to request that the question whether tho Legislature of this State is authorized to elect Senators of the United States at the session which commences on the 5t.h of next menth, may; be submitted to the Attorney-General for his opinion. Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant, E. R. 8. Canby, Brevet Major-General U. S. A., Commanding. Attokney-Uenekal'b Office, Sept. 25, 18('J. The President Sir: I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of,your letter of this dato. reiemng to me, lor my opinion, a icuer au drcssed to the Secretary oi War by General Canby, dated Sept. 24, 1809, which asks whether the Legislature of the State of Virginia is authorized to elect Senators of the United States at the session which commences on the fifth of next month, aud desires that tho question may he submitted to the Attorney-General for his opinion. Tho general view which I entertain of the function! of the Legislature of Virginia, elected in pursuance of the uct of Congress of April 10, lbtiO, have been already fully indicated in the opinion transmitted to ihe Secretary of War, under date of August 28. 18;!). I came to the conclusion that the members of the Legislature were not required to take tho oath referred to in section nluo of the statute of July 19, 1809. In order to qualify them to act as such members; that it was competent under the law for the Legislature to meet, organize, and do whatever was required or allowed by the acts of Congress, as preliminary to the reconstruc tion of the State, but that it was not competent for them to enact laws or otherwise to assume any of the functions of tho Government of the State, If organized, without taking the oath above referred to, or if any of Its members could not or did not take that oath. Upon a careful consideration, I am now of opinion that the election of Senators, like voting on the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, is a part of the action contem plated by Congress as a preliminary to its lull . relation to the Government of the United States as one of the States of tho Union. The Senators n,i f-lpi tpd would have no power or authority until the Senate of tho United States should have passed upon the validity of their action and ad mitted tlieni as members of that body. Under the act of April 10, 1801), the election of members of tho House of Representatives was permitted, and has taken place, and when Con gress conies to act upon tho wholo question of the reconstruction of tho State, it would seem equally proper that the membors elected to both branches of the National Legislature should present themselves and be ready for admission to scats in their respective houses. Tho election of Senators does not seem to me to transcend the 'action which comes within limited and qualifli d purposes requisite to re construction, but rather to be essential to the completeness of that action, and I think tho military commander should not interfere with or prevent it. Very respectfully, E. R. Hoar, Attorney-General. 4'riliquc on Itecent Historian. Professor Noah Torter, the ablo editor of the last edition of "Webster's Dictionary," thuH criticizes tho leading historians of the day in the recent issue of Hours at Jlome: The fact deserves notice that, of late, pro fessed historians have indulged somewhat freely in romancing, especially when they attempt to give elaborate and elegant protrai tureB f their leading personages, in which tho most lavish use is made of effective epi thets and of pointed antitheses. Macaulay, among the recent historians, has set the fashion very decidedly in this direction. In his efforts to make history minute, vivid, and effective, he has often described like an impassioned advocate and painted like a re tained attorney, with the most unsparing ex penditure of contrasts and epithets. Carlyle gives sketches alternately in chalk and char coal, that exhibit his saints and demons now in ghastliest white and then in the most ap palling blackness; and yet in these bold and grotesque outlines there are many lines of which Michael Angelo would not have been ashamed. Fronde, by research, eloquence, and audacity combined, attempts to reverse the settled historic judgments of all mankind in respect to the characters that had been "damned to everlasting fame." Bancroft and Motley abound in examples of this tendency to paint historical characters so much to the life, that the impression is made that the result is only a painting to which there never w as a reality. The ghost of the miserable Philip II would suffer more than the purga torial tortures which he dreaded and deserved solong, were he made to writhe under the un spnring pertinacity of Motley's invective, from which there is no release, and to which there is no termination; while the spirit of Willinin the Silent would he more reserved and reticent than ever were he forced to listen to the perhaps not undeserved but the cer tainly unqualified laudations of his admiring nurrator. The elaborate portraits of Bancroft, if they do nothing more, do most effectively set forth the historian's own conceptions of what sets off a man well in description, so intense is the coloring and so abundant are the adornments which he employs.
