Plain Talk.

In his speech in the q. s. Senate Friday
week, on the joint resolution providing against
the admission of the Southern representatives,
Mr.. Garret Davis made the following point -
'The President is required by the Constitution
to send messages to Congress, and he has the
power to decide what body is Congress. The
members here, who, are in favor of admitting
the Southern Senators, could meet with them,
and constituting majority, the President, If he
sees proper, could recognize them as the Senate,
and hold official relations with them, and ne

Hon. VIM. G. Rives.

The following is an extract from late letter
of the Hon. w. C. RvEs to the Hon. JAMES
LYONS, of Richmond:
"You were pleased in your letter to express
desire to know my opinion of the late Presi-
dental veto agree with you entirely in your
estimate of it. 1t has been God-send for us,
for if that horrible hydra-headed monster,
which he so CALAMITY encountered and slew,
had been suffered TO live, do not see how the
South would have been longer habitable for
our own race. Indeed, my dear sir, the whole
course of the President since his admirable
message at the opening of Congress, appears to
me to have been in the spirit of the loftiest pa
triotism and craftsmanship, and worthy OF the
best days of the Republic. Ifhc goes on as he
has commenced, he will merit the glorious IL
tie of the Restorer Of the Constitution, than
which can conceive no higher crown of glory
in the sad condition in which our country has
fallen. 1t is special mercy of Providence to
have sent us such man in such time ofneed.

Test Oath in West Virginia.

The following bill passed both Houses of the
Legislature of West Virginia, lately in session
at Wheeling, and received the sanction of Gov.
Boreman, and is, therefore, a law:
BE it enacted by the Legislature Of West Vr-
ginia, No attorney at law shall be allowed to
practice in any court, or before any justice or
board of supervisors in this State after the pas
sage of this act, until he shall take, in the
court in which he proposes to practice, in ad-
dition to the oaths now prescribed by law, the
following;
al, A, b., do solemnly swear that have
not, since the goth day of June, 1868, borne
arms against the United States, nor against the
State of West Virginia. that have voluntari-
ly given no aid or comfort to persons engaged
in armed hostility thereto by countenancing,
counselling or encouraging them in the same ;
that have not sought, accepted nor attempted
to exercise the functions of any Office whatever
under any authority in hostility to the United
States, or to the State of West Virginia that
| have not yielded voluntary support to any
pretended Government, authority, power or
Constitution within the United States, hostile
or inimical thereto; and that take this obli-
CATION freely, without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion"

The State Tax.

The tax bill that recently passed the Legisla-
ture, and is copied into our paper to-day, will
occasion little fluttering in the State. How
such heavy taxes are to be paid, together with
the Federal tax imposed uponus We are unable
to see. The prospect for wheat crop is very
unpromising and wemay expect hard times this
whole year. In conversation with the Gov
ernor few weeks since, he stated frankly to
us his own opinions upon the subject, remark
ing that he 'could not see how the people of
Virginia wereto pay their taxes Nor can
