The Test Oath.

1t was rumored in the vicinity Of the Su-
preme Court Room this morning thai there
viii not be any decision on the constitu-
tionality Of the eiron-clad" test oath. This
is great disappointment 70 several legal
gentlemen from the South, who are anxious
to practice their legitimate profession, but
are excluded by their inability to take this
oath. They lad hoped that the oath would
have been set aside, as it is no secret that
five Of the Court are opposed to it. But one
Of this Eve deems il impolitic 10 set The
oath aside just noYs and consequently
joins the Chief Justice and the three JUS
tees who advocate the oath, in having the
decision postponed Washington Star.
The following is the oath taken by
the Judges of the Supreme Court when
inducted into Office:
do solemnly swear that
will administer JUSTICE WITHOUT RES
PECT TO PERSONS, and do equal right 10
the poor and to the rich; and that I will
FAITHFULLY AND IMPARTIALLY DIS
CHARGE AND PERFORM ALL THE d.
TIES INCUMBENT ON. Mas an Associate
Justice OF the Supreme Court Of the United
States, according TO the best Of my abil1ies
and understanding, agreeably to the Consti-
tuition and laws Of the United States 50

Can it be possible that Judge vino
has taken this oath and admits the I'M
constitutionAlity of the test oath, de-
cline to declare it SO on the ground Of
policy2 Such & thing is degrading the
high character of the Judiciary. Well
may contemporary, in view of this
conduct Of q Judge say, impolitic as
permitting q Southern lawyer to dis
charge his professional duties in a Fed
eral court may be, there is one thing
immeasurably more impolitic, and that
is to deny justice and maintain lawless-
ness. 1t may be very important to the
peace and dignity Of the United States
that Virginia gentleman shall not ar
que the case Of his client before one of
her tribunals, bus it is infinitely more
Important that her Government should
be one of law, and her judges sensible

W. B. Lewis, secessionist, was chosen
from Davidson County, and Nashville gave
him $50 votes to as for his loyal oppo-
nent.-N 7. Tribune.
Now this statement of the Tribune
that W. B. Lewis is 3 secessiOnist sfs
either most important truth or a
wicked, deliberate, villsinous lie; for
there can be no pretense of mistake
OF error in the premises" IfW. B.
Lewis is s secessionist, if he sis one of
those who took sides with the South
against the Union, the Tribune must
have the proofs ready TO 'confound all
ehinsayers. But If such proofs cannot
be cited, because they do not exist,
Hthen the sVerment is not merely gi-
gsntic lie-s lie with circumstance and
deliberate intent-but it Il in view of
all the facts 8 peculiarly cruel, wicked
liza lie concocted and uttered in the
interest of injustice and oppression,
with intent TO uphold iniquity and per-
petuate wrong. Such this particular
lie seems to us--a lie eminentiy cslcu-
lated, if ever lie could, to invoke on the
head of its author the Hghtnings of
Heaven" The reader must excuse
this violent language but the Tri-
bune cannot complain, as it is its own.
VIM B. Lewis is one of the few men
Of Nashville, who dared openly to OPP
pSae the secession movement in 1861,
and to stand by the old Gag. He was
not silent opponent Of secession, but
spoke his sentiments boldly, and with
out fear Of consequences, as became the
companion and friend Of Andrew Jack
son, and protested at the polls against
thu insane movement. There is not
another man in Nashville or Davidson
county, who had the manliness to do
this Throughout the war, VIM. B.
LeWis gave the measures of the govern
ment, adopted for the purpose of put
ting down the rebellion, an earnest
support. Now that the war is over, he
is opposed TO depressing a vanquished
foe 'The head and front Of his Of
Tending hath this extent, no more"

The deficiency thus indicated is no
less than s6l9, 447 OBS; an enormous
sum of money truly, and one (which
only the United States of America
could contemplate without sentiments
bordering upon popular despair. But
this wonderful elasticity Of feeling that

lowing paragraph:

ia therefore, with peculiar pleasure that
through the mist of the situation, we
discover from Mr.. Colby's very elabo-

ceipts of our Treasury were more than
20 per cent better in the closing quar-
ter of 1865, than during the same peri

expenditures of their own term nearly

Notwithstanding the uncertainties
and troubles, says the New York Mer-
camille journal, which dezultory legis-
lation and long fruitless debates are
inflicting on the county, the detailed
exhibit for 1865, which has recently
been made by the Hon. S. B. Colby,
Register Of the Treasury, and by his
courtesy specially furnished TO the
press, show a most gratifying increase
in our receipts for the last quarter of
that year. The deficiency for the whole
twelve month is, indeed, large, but it
has been met without unusal difficulty
in negotiating the needful loans, and
the business of the closing quarter may
be taken as a harbinger of still better
results for 1866, should wise counsels
prevail in the National Cabinet and
Congress.

SARDNEs-The lovers of the "little
fish billed in lie" should know that the
fish which furnishes them such deli
cious repast, belongs TO the herring
family, and genus al0sa. The popular
name was given to it by Cuvier, who
was the first to assign it to a distinct
place in the finny tribe. He called it
SARDINIA, from which it is known as the
ssrdine. Sardines are caught princ;-
pally along the coast of Brittany, and
10 a less extent in Portugal The fish.
ing vessels-generally of eight or ten
tons each, and carrying crew Of Ifrom
six TO ten-go out two or three leagues
from the land, and watch for shoals of
fish. When they see them, they spread
their gill-nets for them, and scatter on
the water the bait which has been pre-
pared, and which consist of the eggs
and flesh Of fish, especially of cod and
msckerel, and sometimes of sailed fish.
Large quantities Of sardines are taken
in this way. Some are sailed on board,
and others are carried on shore, and
either sold fresh or prepared for ship
ment For the latter purpose, they
are sailed and packed away in tin cans,
with melted butter and olive oil, which
are poured upon them in an almost
boiling state. The cans are sealed up
to prevent the air reaching the fish,
and are then ready for shipment The
sales in Europe are very great, as the
fish are there considered great deli
oaoy, and large shipments are annually
made to America, where they are no
less esteemed than in Europe.

Whilst the war was in progress it was
customary with the loyal press, all over
the North, to declare that there was a
strong union element in the rebel
States, and Mr.. Holden, of the Raleigh
On. - Standard, was often spoken of as
sn Union man and the leader of a union
party in his State. But, so soon as the
war was over, and President johnson
appointed Mr. Holden Provisional Gov
ernor Of North Carolina, the radicals
swallowed their former words and de-
nouDee3 him as q secessionist The
secessionists in his State denounced
him during the rebellion as traitor,
robbed him, and set Wheeler's cavalry
upon him. Now, they follow the exam
pie Of the radicals and call him a seces-
sionist and pretended Union man.
These secessionists shut their eyes to
their former prosecutions; and especial
ly TO the treatment he received in 1863,
when he urged the people 10 call a
convention, and, in his own language,
10 take steps. through that body, to ar
rest the war, and, if necessary, TO re-
construct the Union of the States.
For pursuing this course he was at
first warned by the authorities. and
then fercely denounced and threat
ened; and, as a practical caution, on
the night of the 9Th September, 1868,
his office was sacked by a company of
Georgia troops fresh from Richmond.

a free press was handled in those days,
