ALEXANDRIA WHIG CELEBRATION.
Ihaye been very much pleased to see the eX-
tensiye circulation that has been gwen 10 the
proceedings of the Wings of Alexandra in the
newspapers throughout the country And am
sure no more than justice has been done 10 the
briIliancy of the Festival, which, take it all IN
all was one of the most excellent and best con-
Quoted public .fetes ever attended. Those wko
were present, and united in the festivities OF the
joyful occasion, will not soon forget the " least
of reason and the flow of SOUP at that happy
hoard the unanimity and harmony that marked
the proceedings; and the propriety which pre-
vailed during the whole celebration. The cltl-
zens of Alexandria did themselves honor on the
occasion. II is not likely that their celebration
will be surpassed, in true enjoyment by any 81
mlar one that may take place in any part OF the
United States. Besides, you Alexandrlans nave
the honor ofeading the van in this eXhlDluon
Of public spirit, which, in ITSELF is credltable TO
your place. and, though others may make
greater show, and have larger numbers, no
where else can there be exhibited more genuine
good feeling, hospitality, and ardent patriotism
have been drawn into these remarks by see
ing as | have before stated, the notice OF the
proceedings at the Alexandria Wing Ceiebra-
ton extensively copied into the public neWspa
pers, far and near. And am rejoiced that this
happened, because am anxious that the plea
sure experienced at being present at the Festi-
val should be shared by every one else, in some
degree, at least, by reading an account of what
the company and guests enjoyed in person.

South Carolina has declared what is called the
Test OATH" in that State, to be unconstitu-
tional, null and void"
COLUMBIA, S. c. JUNE 2, 1884, }
Half past 10-In Court
TO the Editor Of the Southern Patriot:
Dear Sir O'Neale has announced his opin.
ion that the Test Oath is unconstitutional, and
is giving his reasons. He says that the Court
are unanimous that the Convention exceeded
its power in defining allegiance, and declaring
it to be due exclusively to the State, as it was
called for specific purpose and could not ex-
tend its action to any other.
"11 O'CLocK.-Judge Johnson is now deliver
ing his opinion. He declares that the Test Oath
is contrary to the State Constitution, and void

am, respectfully, yours"
This decision has given great JOY to the Uni
on party. The Charleston Courier says:
SIN giving vent to our own overlooking JOY
on this grateful occasion, let us hope that our
opponents also will rejoice in the removal OF
this obstacle to the restoration of harmony in
our distracted State-to the return of that era
of good feelings, which will again unite us in the
bonds of social, if not political brotherhood 1t
is high time that alienated affections should re-
turn to their wonted, but long deserted channels
that the ranking wounds Of the social and
even the family circle should be healed, and that
party warfare, if it must still be waged, should
at least be henceforth characterized by the cour-
tesieS and charities Of life. We hope then that
our opponents will not only be reconciled to the
response of the Judiciary in our favor, but will
even hail it as fitting occasion for torgving, il
not forgetting, the strifes and animosities of the
past; and the more SO, as in the most material
particular, if not wholly, the distinguished judge
on the Appeal Bench, who advocates their pecu-
liar political creed, has concurred in the opinion
of his brethren"
The Southern Patriot says:
"It is now to be hoped that this decision will
appease the spirit of party-that coming with
healing on its wings, it will prove medicament
to the distemperature Of the public mind. We
indulge in no tone of exultant rejoicing on
the occasion, happy if the veXed question,
with all its bitter accompaniment shall descend
to the tomb of the Capuets, there to remain
forever, buried in undisturbed oblivion"
AMEN. So mote it be!
