Office chad not then been declared vacant
by any competent authority, Hood, a
mere subordinate, could not be requir-'
ed to SIT in Judgment on the title of his
superior to the office. in which he was
acting, or TO decide on his own respon-
sibility that John Letcher ought no
longer to be obeyed as Governor. The
Court, however, held that the secession
ordinance, and the compact Of April
"a, 1861, were void IN Ia,v, because they
were rep1gnant to the whole scope, eff
feet and intent of the Constitution of
the United States; that Letcher's or
ders, being maniEestly issued to carry
into execution this Unconstitutional or
dinance and compact, were equally
void in taW, and that Hood, in acting in
obedience to such orders, acted, there
fore, upon his own responsibility The
ordinance, compact and orders being
legally OF no effect, could afford him no
protection. The Constitution of the
United states, being the supreme law,
it was Hoods highest duty to support
and obey it, and the orders of John
Letcher, whether he was Governor or
not, could furnish no excuse to Hood
for aiding a combination formed for the
purpose. of oyerturning it. .sa,s5
The case was argued at the July
term, 1865, by Judge Lee for Hood. and
the Attorney General and Mr.. Lamb
for Maxwell. The opinion delivered
at the present term is a long and able
one, and we have merely attempted 10

point decided. a4e 1

Hood vs.. Maxwell.

This case, decided by the Court OF
Appeals last Saturday, involved sever
aIteehnical questions of pleading and
evidence in which our readers would
take no interest. But it also decided an
important principle.
Hood was military officer, acting
under orders issued by John Letcher, as
Governor, of, Virginia. Under these or
ders,r aud In his capacity as such OIL
GER, he seized in May, 1885, quantity of
wheat and -four belongingto Maxwell.
and used the same for the troops which
were then being assembled and organ
lied in Barbour county. Tho question
was whether he was personally respon-
sible to Maxwell for the property so
taken; and the Court held that he was.
Before the property was taken the
Convention at Richmond had passed
the secession ordinance, and entered
into the compact OF April 81, 1851, by
which the whole military power of Yir-
Einia was 70 be placed under the con-
troll OF the President of the Confederate
States. Letcher's prociamations and
orders were issued for the purpose of
carrying into effect this ordinances and
compact, and thus overturning the an-
thoritysof the United States Governs
ment within the limits OF Virginia.
But ut the time these orders were
given, and Maxwel's property inn
pressed, there was no other State Gov
ernment in Virginia than that,repre-
scented in its executive department by
John Letcher. The properly was
taken in May, 1851, and the loyal
government of the State was not
organized until the ooh OF June,
1851. Under these circumstances
IL was contended that Letcher remained.
tho Governor7up to5the time when the
loyaI government was, instituted; and
that his opders. being in conformity
with the authority, conferred on the
Governor by the statutes of the State,
Hood was Justified in acting in obedi-
onee 10 them. It was also Insisted that,
even II I.etcher could not be considered
ms lawful Governor of the State in May,
1851. Yet as he had been duly elected
and, installed in the Office and as the

In this case the Court of Appeals
yesterday decided that the Legislature
had authority, under the Constitution
toreQuite officers to take such oaths, in
addition TO those Imposed by the Con-
stitution, as to them might seem right
and proper. DHE 1SEt 1 .

appeared in the Court, offered to give

permit him to undertake the duties OF

THE capital question is IA stdkM qHo.
The House on Saturday, considering
the bill TO locate the capital permanent
ly, got so far as to fill the blank left for
the favored spot with the name OF
Buckhannon. Resuming consideration
of the bill yesterday morning the blank
LEFT for time OF removal was filed with
January LIST, 1869, and a clause was add
ed naming the new seat ofgoyernment,
Lincoln. The bill was then referred to
the Judiciary Committee in order that
provisions might be added for the de-
tails of removal, construction OF the
new capitol, DC. The committee had n
session during the afternoon, and
agreed, we learn, to report the bill back
without alteration, and let the details
be provided for in separate bill. II
will require twenty-nine votes to pass
the bill -four more than were required
TO insert the name OF Buckhannon,)
and we believe the friends of Buckhan-
non are quite confident OF the result.
1t is Thought by some that If the bill
gets through the House I'm its present
shape it will meet formidable opposi-
sition in the Senate. How this will be
we are not well enough advised to I'M
dertake to predict.
II the bill goes along in the House
without accident or delay of any sort,
we suppose it will go TO engrossment
to-day and come up on its passage to-
morrow. Then will come the tug of
war in the Senate.

Tbe ..rest oath- constitutional.

1t will be seen by reference TO the
statement made elsewhere in this col
sumn of the case of Win Straton, that
the Court ofAppeals decided yesterday
(and the opinion was unanimous) that
the oath prescribed for officers by the
act of November le, 1858, commonly
known as the "test oath" is constitu-
tional. The Court ruled that It was OBJ
ligatory ON the Legislature to require
The oaths mentionedin the constitution,
while It might or might not require any
others, as appeared judieious and ne
cessary. * N
This decision is of far greater impor-
lance than that delivered Saturday, viz:
that attorneys were not included in the
terms of the act of Nov. 16, 1858, requir-
ing the test oath OF officers; for Il hav-
ing BEEN decided that the test oath is
constitutional and may, therefore, of
right, be required of all officers, IT only
remains for the Legislature TO define,
by an enactment, who arc officers, and
that enactment may be made SO plain
as TO leave no room for doubt or ques-
ton.
1t is understood that bill will be
brought forward at once in the Legisla-
ture requiring the test oath ofeyery at
torney who has been admitted to prac-
tiee or may hereafter apply, before con-
tinuing his practice in the one case, or
before admission in the other. Such a
law would settle the question for ut
torneys as effectually as yesterdays
decision settles IL for other officers.

SENATOR WILSON'S bill to stop the
swindling of claim agents and limit
their fees to $40 in each case, is one that
tho House of Representatives ought to
take up and pass with the least possible
delay. The Senate passed 1t by atvote
of four to one. Possibly the public does
not understand the extent TO which the
extortion of the claim agents is SYSTEM
affixed. The following is related on SEN
ator Wilson'S authority: -
"a gentleman of New York, in the
true spirit of philanthropy, established
u soldiers claim agency in that city for
the collection of arrears ofbounty and
pay, free of charge, to either the soldier
or the Government, but at n cost to
himself of many thousand dollars. He
soon found, however, TINT il WIS abso-
lutely impossible to get n single claim
through the Departments, and on
further investigation discovered the
cause of this TO be that lawyers
fifty per cent or more of the
claims for collection, had, out of
their large fees. been able to substitute
clerks in the Departments, so rs to de-
lay action upon all papers coming from
the gratuitous collection office in New
York, and to thrust aside everything
for the prompt disposition of which
they were not specially paid" 4
