InE Test OATH 1T was rumored in the
vicinity of the Supreme Court Room this morn.
ing that there will not be any decision on the
constitutionality of the ''iron-clad' test oath.
This is great disappointment to several legal
gentlemen from the South, who are anxious to
practice their Legitimate profession, but are ex
cluded by their inability to take this oath.
They had hoped that the oath would have been
set aside, as it is secret that FIVE of the Court
are opposed to it. But one of this five deems it
impolitic I'd set the oath aside just now. and
consequently joins the Chief Justice and tho
three Justices who advocate the oath in having
the decision postponed Washington Star
Our readers will share our disappointment at
this announcement. disclosing, if it be true, the
existence in the highest legal tribunal in the
country of fatal subservience to political
clamor.
1t IS here alleged that one of the nine JUS
tees OF the Supreme Bench of the United States
admits the unconstitutonality of the test oath.
but affirming the impolicy of Its repeal, declines
to declare that unconstitutionality.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

The Congressional document committee have
issued circular appealing for funds to distri-
butte documents to re-elect radical congressman.
They urge the necessity of excluding Southern
members of Congress because they will vote
against radical measures of the present Congress.
The President is ignored wholly, and the appeal
is to sustain Congress against his policy.
The majority men in Cons ress have decided
to call up at an early day and pass the District
of Columbia negro suffrage bill, which has been
lying on the table for several weeks This &C.

The London Daily News" speaks Of Gen.

while of Generals Butler and Banks its Ian
guage is contemptuous. says:
But able as the plan sketched out by Gen
eral Grant was, and based as it was upon es-
tablished military principles, its execution
would have been impossible if those who acted
under the Commander-in-C Chief had been diff
fercnt men. Ina field of war SO extensive as
that of the United statcs, it is simply impos,
sible to give detailed instructions to each of
his subordinates. And so it was with General
Grant. When he is explaining his views to
such men as Butler aud Banks he certainly
desccnds into details, because it is obvious lie
had no confidence in their military capacity.
But in dealing with Sherman, Meade or Shcr
idan, he contents himself with the most gen

Exposing each others Rascality How
the Government has been Robbed.

The terrific fight now going on in
the Republican disuuion ranks is un-
earthng many secrets. In their as
saults upon each other these political
gamblers prove to the satisfaction of
everybody that a more incorrigible
set of swindlers and knaves never had
existence outside the dominions of the
Prince of Darkness. A few days ago.
Mr.. Conkling, disunion member of
Congress from New York, held up
Provost Marshal General Fry as the
greatest s'yindler this country ever
produced, and with dates and figures,
proved that he had charged the Gov
enmcnt with bounty for tens of thou
sands of men who had never been put
into tho army. According to Conl1-
lings showing, this man Fry fleeced
the Government to the tune of ten or
twelve million dollars
Fry replies to Conkling, in letter
to friend, and ia doing so alleges
that Conkling is in a bad humor be-
cause he (Fry) would not permit him
to steal rs much as he desired that
he (Conkling) did steal some two
hundred thousand dollars, when he
was stopped by Fry, who considered
that the New York Congressman had
his full share of plunder. 1t is quito
evident, Judging by the statements of
Fry and Conkling, that both became
immensely wealthy very suddenly.
They had helped themselves literally
to the peoples money, and all in the
name of "loyalty." Altogether tho
quarrel between these two "loyap
gentlemen is rich rare and interesting.
Those who beloved loudest for
1oyalty' and who were ever ready to
denounce all men as "traitors' who
refused to worship Abraham Lincoln
and to speak Of him as "the Govern
mcnt," were the very fellows who
were helping themselves literally from
Uncle Sans money bags. Exchange.
