"Thcre was also resolution offered yester-
day, requiring all office-holdcrs in the State
to take an oath to support the Constitution
of the Confederate States, which was refer

doubtless be favorably reported upon and
passed Some think that Gov. Houston will
not take the oath, but those who know him
best, say that rather than be dcthroned, he
would swear allegiance to his Satanic Ma
jcsty, although he has been threatening for
some time to resign"
