The Test Oath.

Auc Lest OaCQ.
The question as to whether The test oath,
now required by q law of the Federal Con
gress, will be applied to the persons whs
may claim ssats In Congress as members
elect from the South, is one OF fcohsideraB1s
mement at this time. Under this law, all
psrsons, before they are qualified to fill any
Office or agency updsr the Government,
must swear that they haze never voluntarily
borne armss against the Uuited States that
they have never voluntarily given aid, coun.
tsnance. counsel or encouragement to per-
sons engaged in armed hostility to the Gov
eminent; that they have never sought, nor
accepted, nor attempted 10 exercise, the
functions Of any Office whatever under any
authority in hostility to the United States,
and that they have never yielded voluntary
support 70 any power or constitution with.
in the United States, hostile or inimieal
thereto.
1t is supposed by some, shat this very
stringent law, will, on the cssvsning Of
Congress, be Immediately repealed; by
others, that it il stitut;onal, and there.
fore cannot be enforced; and there are still
sthers who take the position that the AM
pesty Goth cures all that was dose previous
to the taking Of Land entities the party
takisg il 70 all the privileges Of citizens who
have never been engaged 10 armed hostility
to tho Government. But il it safe for us
to act upon these nssumPtons' We may
deprive ourselves of all representation in
the next Congress. Would it not be better
TO assume that the law as 1t new stands will
BE- enforced, and send only such men to
Congress as can conscisntiously subscribe
to the test oath.
A late issue Of the New York Times,
the special organ of Secretary Seward, and
edited BY Henry J. Raymond, member of
the next Congress, and prominent for the
Spsakership, says upon this subject:
"It is morally certain th,. no man will be
admitted TO q seat In the next Congress who
does not take the oath required by existing
laws. The aPplcanrs opinion that the law
Is unconstitutional will net help him
Congress asts upon its own opinions. TIE
Constitution efthe United States declares
that "eash House shall be the Judge of the
elections, retsrns and Qualifications of its
own membersp The House of Represen.
tatives will exercise that exclusive power.
and beyond all questisn win exercise II In
conformity with the statute sfIS62. The
constitutionality Of that measure was fully
discussed at the time ofits passage, aad was
affirmed by a very large majsrity In both
branches Of Congress. Tie arguments
which were conclusive then a,e as conclu-
sive uow. The reason for the application
Of the statute is still as strong as ever. -"
The So uthsrn people. If they hxSe any
wise regard fer their own interests, will re-.
spect the laws Of the land, and refuse to
give their votes to candidates for Congress
who they know are not entitled by law TO
hok sests in Congress. Arrogant claims
will only recoil against them. They will be
taken as evidence Of an impracticable tenn.
pest, fit rather for stern justice than for
magnanimous clemepcy.
