Temporary Stay Law in Virginia

The following temporary stay law has passed
both branches of the Virginia legislature. 1t
is intended as q temporary measure of relief
until bill Of a more permanent character is
matured and passed.
BE q enacted By the General assembly of
VlrglRid, That no execution, reRditiORi erpO-
mas, attachment or other process to compel the
payment Of money, or the sale of property for
that purpose, shall be issued OF, if heretofore
issued, shall be proceeded with, and that no
judgment, decree or order for the payment of
money, rendered or made during the period
that this act is in force, shall operate as lien
upon any estate held or owned, or any interest
on such estate by the person or persons against
whom such judgement, decree or order may be
rendered or made. Nor shall there be any sale
under deed Of trust, mortgage, pledge, or
other security; nor under any Judgment, de-
cree or order for the payment of any money
while this act remains in force, unless by con-
sent Of parties; provided, thatnop part of thisact
shall apply to the cities of Norfolk and Ports
mouth, nor the counties Of AccOmac, North
ampton, Norfolk, and Princess Anne; but the
act entitled an>act staying the collection of
debts" passed January 23d, 1864, and the
amendment thereof, passed June 23d, 1865,

and counties are concerned, with the exception
that sales of property may take place, under

A Problem for the Radicals.


II, says the National baelligencer, the con-
stitutiOnal amendment abolishing slaveiy Is a.
dOpssd, then it has been done through the ne
cessmy aid of the Southern States. If these
States have the power and right to participate
with their sister States in matter Of such high
concern as is the modification Of the Constitu-
ton Of the country, il is for Radical gentlemen
to answer why such States are not entitled TO
representation in Congress. That some Of the
Radicals are waking up TO this difficulty is evil
dent from the annexed paragraph, from the
Boston Journal, an extreme sheet:
It viii not escape attention that some signii-
cant implications are contained in this procla-
nation Of Secretary Stewards. For instance,
Il assumed that the States Of Tennessee, LOUIS
lana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia and Alabama, If not the other seeded
States) are now absolutely in the Union, SO
that any act they may do in consonance with
State powers is valid to all iutents and purposes
and hence their members Of Congress duly chozen
arc entitled Of right to admission, unless indi-
yidually debarred by purely personal objections,
This viii surprise many who have not thus III
terpreted the position Of the Administration.
1t gives new turn to the reconstruction ques-
ton, which cannot but invest its considera-
ton in Congress with enhanced interest.

Financial.

Every body is interested in knowing the
true condition Of the currency Of the country,
since almost every body is echOing and re-echo-
ing the cry about redundancy Of paper money,
The Comptroller of the Currency is recon-
mending an increase Of the National Bank cap
ital Before the war the State banks had, iii
Is stated by sensible writer in the National
hateVigeneer, a circulation Of about two hun
dred millions dollars. The National Banks are
restricted to two hundred and seventy millions.
This looks like an increase; but this is not so,
as the State Banks had their capital loaned to
the people, whereas the National Banks have
theirs loaned to the GOrerRmeat
Currency is gradually becoming scarcer ev-
cry day at Chicago, the great wheat market Of
the West Money is bringing from ten to
twenty per cent. per annum. The scarcity is
becoming general.

Yirginia Legislature.

Mr. Herndon, Of Spottsylvania. when advo-
eating the reunion Of East and West Virginia
in the House the other day, said that neither
for place or power would he ever deny that,
when jackson died. his heart stood still. and
that when Lee surrendered, he was cruci6ed,
and he but expresses pointedly what many Of
his colleagues feel and yet he urged, most elo-
quently and feelingly, the cultivation of the
most fraternsl relations. "North and South,
East and West" While Virginia has nothing
to take back if her Legislature is a fair expo
nent Of the feeling of her people, she will, in
the future, put to blush, in the genuineness Of
her loyalty to the Constitution and the Union,
many Of her so-called loyal sisters of New
England"

The Test oath.


The constitu6Onality Of the test oath Of July
2, 1862, is undergoing discussion before the
Supreme Court ofthe United States. on an ap-
plication Of A. n. Garland, Of Arkansas, for
Leave TO practice before that Court without Ia
king the oath. NJ H. Carpenter Esq, Of Wis
consin, and Hon. Reverdy johnson. of Maryland,
appear for the applicant, and Hon. james
Speed, Attorney General. maintains the power
Of Congress to impose such test.
The discussion has been one Of unusual abil-
ity, and has rivited the attention Of legal gen.
tlemen from all quarters. Unless the Judges
allow themselves to be warped by party inhu-
Snces, there can be no doubt as to the decision
against the power to impose any other oath
than that required by the 50 Section Of the 9th
Article Of the Constitution Of the United States,
which simply provides that +" the Senators and
Representatives shall be bound by oash or af-
"frmation to support this Constitution" but
expressly declares that no religious test shall
"ever be required as qualification to any Of
" fee or public trust under the United States.
The provision that each House shall be the
Judges Of the elections, returns, and qualihca-
tons of its own Members has been explained
as meaning only the power to decide whether
the persons claiming a seat is Of the proper age
Of the question be raised,l is citizen, and has
been legally elected by majority Of votes, and
has proper return.
No test oath is required of the President be-
cause the Constitution prescribes his oath, Just
as it does that Of members, but Congress de-
nands more in the latter case than the Consti-
tuition demands.
The decision Of the Supreme Court viii be
looked for with great interest, and no doubt
there win be several opinions on the subject
from the nine judges who constitute the Court.

BURGLARS ABoUT.-0n Sunday night last,
about 10 o'clock, the Store of Mr.. j. GoLpsMITH.
of this town, was broken into by some of the
light fingered folks of this neighborhood. The
robber entered at the back window of the store,
but failed to effect his purpose by the timely
entrance of Mr.. G., who had left his dog in the
store, and after the thief had entered the dog
slipped outwhere Mr.. G. was, thus giving him
due notice that something was wrong. The
burgler dropped box of hats and coat in his
haste TO escape.
The Restaurant of Capt voN BLUoHER was
also entered on Christmas night and robbed of
box of cigars and all the fractional currency
left in the drawer. No liquors taken, but the
egg-nog on hand came up missing. The door
Of the Restaurant was forced open, breaking the
lock.

Private Griefs.

It is evident, from the TRADES of Stevens and
Sumner, that each Of them is allowing the re-
membrance Of a private grief to influence his
public actiOn-Stevens remembers his blasted
iron works and the loss Of his grey pony by
the rebel raiders-and ; inner is not disposed
to brook the defiant strains Of Southern orators.
Each Of them struts proudly. like chanticleer,
on undisputed stamping ground, while no ban
tam is near to answer his Wanting, or give
scorn for scorn.

Death of the Rev. DR.. A. n, n.
Boyd.


1t is with pain we announce the death Of this
good man, after many months of intense suffer-
ing. He died at his residence in this place, on
Friday morning last, at o'clock, aged So years.
His death was not unexpected, but when twas
announced many were the sad and sorrowing
hearts in his congregation, over whom he had
presided for so many long years, and to whom
he had so often preached the Gospel of God
For more than twenty-five years be had been
pastor Of the Loudodn Street Presbyterian
Church, beloved and honored by all, and per-
haps no man has ever died in our midst SO uni
versally regretted During the late war, DIR.
Boyd, with many other of our prominent citi-
zens, was arrested and cast in prison, where he
languished many months. 1t was more than
his feeble frame could bear, and after his release
his health declined rapidly, and it was with sor-
rowing that his friends felt his days were rapid
ly drawing to close. On Sunday last his re-
mains were inferred the Mount Hebron grave
yard, followed by an immense concourse.

Of the proposition; yet the Postmaster, the L.

expression, and invoking Congress to force ne

that can befall tender years, but whose orphanage
