THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEST OATH.

The editor of the Charlottesville
Chronicle is no doubt very able man
and one of our first jurisconsuls. He
ought to be on the supreme bench, and
we trust that when vacancy occurs
Andrew Johnson will not overlook his
claims. In speaking of the test oath
required by Congress, he says that the
only papers in Virginia which sustain
its constitutionality are the Norfolk
Post, the Alexandria Journal, and the
Richmond Republic. Now, we confess
that we have taken SO little interest in
the test OATH" that we have never
before alluded to it in these columns;
and know so little about the constitu-
tional views of our contemporaries in
Virginia, that we are at a loss to say
what they may or may not have pub.
lished on the subject. All that we do
know is that the test oath is law of
Congress, and as such it is binding till
declared unconstitutional and void by
the Supreme Court, or until Congress
shall see proper to repeal it; and our de-
claration of its constitutionality or uh-
constitutionality could not, under any
circumstances, alter the case. We could
not change the law If we would; and as
we looked upon it as matter of little con-
sequence, we concluded not to stultify
on rselves by wasting words in the USE
less and unnecessary argumentof ques-
ton that is entirely beyond our control.
We did not, like some of our cotempora-
ries, believe in resorting to such sneak
ing subterfuge as they generally recon-
mended in order to secure a representa-
ton in Congress, but would have adopt
ed the more manly and honest course Of
selecting for Congress any man who by
the bold avowal of his real sentiments,
could have secured his election, and
then had himpresent himself before that |
body, and demand his seat as right,
and not beg it as favor. We therefore
did not cry out, "Elect no man to Con-
gress who cannot take the test oath. ~
We would rathertrust men who declared |
their inability conscientiously to take |
that oath, than those who falsely de-
clared, in order to deceivethe people into |
voting for them, that they could take it.
Congress, too, would have more respect |
for men of that stamp Of character, and
would be likely to extend to them q
warmer welcome than to those who will |
present themselves with the declaration
hat they have never aided, by word or
deed, the rebellion. We would like 10

THE ALABAMA LOSSES.
The Adams Russell correspondence at
tracts great attention, and much editO-
rial comment is expressed. 1t is conce-
ded that the question of American
claims for indemnity for losses by the
Alabama, &C., will come to an amicable
solution. The London Times states that
the position taken by the British Gov
eminent will preclude losses from the
depredations of Confederate cruisers, as
the matter in dispute will be referred to
the proposed commission.
FENIANS.
Fenian arrests continue to be made in
Ireland. ~, t..u.
The London Times, abiding to the
correspondence, says it is the most i'm
pOrtant decision in reference to the
rights and duties of neutrals that has
been carried on for many years between
the great maritime powers, and it can
hardly doubt that the proposal for the
commission will ultimately be accepted.
The Times also alludes to the Fenian
movement, and says it will lead to
breach in the foreign enlistment act
If England chooses to be angry, she
would have greater reason to complain
of Americas position as neutral in
the Fenian movement, than to America
in the Confederacy, inasmuch as the
plot was formed in America by Ameri-
can citizens. ... ....
The Times admits that the American
government has acted fairly, notwith-
standing the filibuster plot of her citi-
zens.
THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.
Advices from Spain are down to Oct.
