n number Of returned Rebel lawyers made sppli-
cation to be admitted to practice in the
United States District Court held in this city.
with marked dignity and ability. The application
wss made in the form OF motion, ana was
opposed BY Major. General ~ i. Banks, VINO
few days previous on motion Of BIZ. sullivan
was admitted to practice in the above court.
for tie special purpose Of defending tho con-
stitutionality of the act Of Congress. which
requires that what is commonly known as the test
oath" shall be taken by all applicants before gaining
admttanee to practice in any United States Court
IfGen. Banks had not come forward TO oppose The
motion which was based on the supposed uneonstitu'
tionaty Of he act referred TO- there would lot have
been single voice raised in opposition to the admit
lance OF these Rebels, majority Of whom still pride
themselves on their connection with the Rebel Army
The following notice in reference to tie matter ap.
peared IN yesterdays Piooyvns:
The subject Of the test oath" 'gain brought be-
fore his Honor Judge Durell by Mr. Mott who stated
that he was not present Tuesday last and did not
consequently hear the remarks vi the Court but that
he understood that his Honor In consideration OF the
importance OF the subject, did not propose 10 hastily
render decision; and further. he Understood that
the Court had suggested that u would be the
wisest course for OF the parties affected to make
direct application ior admission TO the par OF me o,
preme Court where iina decision would be arrived at
mme diaely Mr. Mott desired of the Court that these
remarks II correctly understood. be made part OF the
minutes of the court nasmuch az he had determined TO
sion Ut the bar OF he Supreme Court IN December
next which decision would be binding upon all The
inferior courts OF the United States.
In granting the request OF the learned counsel
Judge Durcll made some remarks nom which We in
ierred that he believed in the consttutonaty OF the
iest Oath; we obtained this notion from the cOmpli
rnentary allusion he made to Gen. Banks. He said
that the gentleman who argued on the part OF tie UNI
ted Stacs In favor Of the cOrsttutionAty OF the law
study OF What lie termed pa, eresllsnet THE books"
yet with one days preparation. by mere strength OF
mind he had fallen into the course OF reasoning
used by Judge Tucker, in the Benz. Watkins Leigh
case OF Virginia and by CbiefJusIice Collier In the
Dorsey case " Alabama and that he strongly in
clined 10 believe that the argument was based upon
sound law and that II the gentleman who had 50 ably
sustained himself should become permanent member
OF the bar Of NevOreans he would DO an honor to the
profession.
