THE TEST OATH.

There will be serious impeachment to
the admission of Southern members elect
ed to Congress. And according TO the
present condition by which member elect
may take his seat, but few of the men
elected by the Southern States can assume
position in the House or Senate. In
1863 Congress passed an act requiring the
following oath to be sworn to, before a
member could take a seat: ioV -
81 solemnly swear that / have never
voluntarily borne arms against the United
States since | have been citizen thereof;
that have voluntarily given no aid, coun-
tenance, counsel or encouragement to per-
sons engaged in armed hostility thereto; !;
that I have neither sought nor accepted,
nor attempted to exercise the functions of
any Office whatever under any authority
or pretended authority in hostility to the
United States; that | have not yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended gov
ernment, authority, power or constitution
within the United States, hostile or mi
mical thereto; and l do further swear
that, to the best of my knowledge and
ability, viii support and defend the Con-
stitution of the United States"
Next week the XXXIX Congress will
meet and perhaps, before single member
from the South can take his seat, this law
of Congress must be repealed, for there
certainly have been very few elected in
the seeded states but what have aided OF
abetted, in some manner, the late rebellion
against the United States.

REBRLs AT THE CAPITOL.


If any one had proposed to our gallant armies
last Spring, or to the theloyal masses anywhere,
that when we had conquered the rebels, we
should make all haste to restore them to the full
rights of citizenship, the response would have
been one of indignant denial. Much more, if
it had been proposed to re.instate the leaders
of rebellion in high places of political power
to seats in Congress-and other posts of honor
in the National Government. That the instiga-
tors Of rebellion should SO soon aspire to legis-
late for their own States even would have been
matter Of astonishment to US, nine months slnce-
But many of the leaders Of Secession have
been pardoned, some have been elected TO Gu-
bernstorial and other responsible ofhces IN the
southern States, and now others stand at the
door Of Congress asking, aye, demanding ad-
mission. as of right Legislators for the Repub-
tic they were so lately seeking to overthrow
Some of them openly scorn and spit upon the
oath required by law of Congress, just as they
did when it was passed twoyears ago
We do not know that anyone claims for these
gentlemen that they have not forever forfeited
their rights as American citizens. Plain COM
mon sense teaches that Rebels against good
government forfeit, by their rebellion, all the
rights of participation in the Government. =
Whatever we may omit to say, therefore, of the
grace and modesty of the position of these
Southern Congressional aspirants, we must not
fail TO plainly tell them at least to 1uaa.
The country is not bound to concede them any
political rights. When they come demanding,
at once, every right that loyal men can aspire
tn tell them not to be in haste. If their return
TO loyalty is so precipitate, it may be equally
precarious. They should have time to consid-
er: and they ought TO be willing to give the
people and the country time to consider the
grave questions involved in the overthrow Of
their wicked rebellion They besiege the Cap
itol and clamor vehemently for the high pre-
negatives and honorable dignity of seats in the
National Legislature, which 50 lately they
would have destroyed by capture, imprisonr!-
ment and DEATH They should be warned to
stand back, and give the country time to de-
eide calmly, when, (if every and upon what
conditions, they can safely be. entrusted with
any of the rights of free loyal and law-abiding
citizens of the United States. This is plair
common sense; and we believe it is the feeling
and sentiment of the loyal masses on the practi'
cal question which, at the outset, is to meet the
39th Congress. May its truly loyal members
stand together, and express in their action, the
will and convictions of their constituents.

GEN. HowARps AUTOBIOGRAPHY

In his speech to the people of New Or
leans, on the 5th instant, General Howard,
chief of the Freedman's Bureau, spoke of
himself as follows:
''When | was boy of ten years lost
my father; being the eldest in the family
l was obliged to work. Our only support
was small farm, and the only way we kept
out of debt, got ahead, and acquired an
education, was by constant, persevering
industry. My own history in this respect
is the history Of most every young man in
the section of country come from. If he
has ever accomplished anything, ever ris-
en- in the world, or attained even medi-
um degree ofprosperity, it has been done
by industry, labor and application. After
"A time | was sent to school, then to acad-
amy, and then to college, paying my ex-
penses by occasionally teaching school my
self. This is our custom where we have
always had free labor"
He then added:
81 apply this example to you, and as
sure YOU it must be followed. You must
begin at the bottom of the ladder and
climb up. Many of you in this city have
already attained prosperity. Thousands
and thousands have nothing. When the
colored man was slave upon the planta-
ton, his master was obliged, for his own
interest, to give him food and clothing
and look out for his future. But the mo-
ment he became free he must look ahead
for himself.
''When he was slave he looked ahead
day or week, now he must look ahead
a year or more. When slave, he had to
think of the work he had to do, and care
not for his family; but now, the full sup
port of his children, and the care of the
aged and sick will devolve upon him.
He has become IA man great applause,
with all the responsibilities as well as the
privileges of man. They tell me con-
stantly, those who are short sighted and
blinded, that the people cannots support
themselves and their families, cannot take
care of the aged, poor and sick. Now, if
they cannot, freedom is not blessing, but
a curse. They must. In the providence
of God they are set free and they must?"
