President johnson communicated on the
9th inst, to Congress two letters, one from
the Secretary of the Treasury, and the other
from the Post Master General, requesting a
modification of the test oath. lie concurs
with the views expressed in these letters and
makes a strong appeal to Congress to modi-
fy the oath required at present, in order that
public service may be benefited in the South
crn States Both the Secretary of the Treas
ury and the Post Master General show the
difficulty of securing persons, tall competent,
to take charge of the collection of the Reve-
nue. or the mail service in the Southern States,
who can or will take the oath required in its
present form. The failure to secure compe-
tent persons to discharge the duties required
by these officers, not only damages the South
eln States, to some extent, but is detrimen-
tai to the interests Of the people ofevcry State,
and to the whole country. Yet, with these
facts plainly set forth in these documents, in
sisted upon by the President, and must be ac-
knowledged as true by the radicals themselves,
it were folly to expect modification of this
OATH Such violation of the interests of party
is not to be thought of, though the Constitu-
ton, which they have sworn to support, may
be violated with impunity every day.

The great Southern Relief Fair, origina-
ted by the noble women of Baltimore, has
proven very successful. Donations have
poured in from all sides and continue to be
received daily. From all accounts it is ex-
pected to realize more than was anticipated
by the most sanguine The amount real
lied at the close Of the first week of the fair.
was about $65 900. Whether Or not dol
lar had been realized from this fair. the eff
fort on the part of Baltimore, to relieve in
this way the wants of many who have lost
their all in the last four years, has endcared
that city and its inhabitants more tEan ever
to the people further South From the very
satisfactory receipts thus far we a. rec with
the Gasette. Of that city, that the Fair rooms
must " have become place of daily resort
for those whose hearts sympathizc with suf-
fcring and distress, and whose hands are
ready to relieve" Although city of mon
uments, Baltimore is to-day erecting mon
ument, more lasting than the tail shafts which
now overlook her growing proportions, which
will stand as long as the mind OF man can re-
tam the remembrance of noble deed. Tru-
ly, " never before were Beauty and Charity
so linked together. Never was Beauty more
benevolent never was Charity more charm
nr."

The Dry T0rtugas Prisoners.

DR.. Mudd, who at one time attempted to
escape, is still kept under close guard, and
compelled to clean out the bastions in the
cascmates of the fort, and do some of the
most mental and degrading work required to
be done. Never very robust, he is now but
little more than skeleton, and his growing
emaciated shows how bitterly his spirit chafes
und his Imprisonment. His constant prayer
is for death.
Arnold is employed as clerk of Captain
Van Reade, post adjutant. He is an un.
commonly fine penman and accurate account
ant, and we'll behaved and modest and yield
ing in his demeanor. He grows in useful
ness and popularity each day. A guard at.
tends him to his meals, which are the same
as the other prisoners, and at night he is
kept in close custody.
Spangler is at work in the quartcrmaster'
carpenter shop. Already he begins to count
the years, months and days remaining to com
plete his term of imprisonment lie is 70,
bust and jolly-a physical condition he at
tributes, however, solely to his being inno-
cent ofany participancy in the dreadful crime
charged against him.
Colonel Marmaduke, found guilty of the
noted conspiracy to free the prisoners at Camp
Douglas and burn Chicago, has charge Of
the post garden. In respect to manual la
Dor ne has an easy time.

General Lee and the Custis Negroes.

''Thc freed people who were the slaves of
George Washington Parke Gusts. and who
would now be the slaves Of his SON in-law,
Robert f. Lee, had the rebellion been sue
cessful, have petitioned Congress, setting
forth that they are entitled under the will
of Mr. Gusts, to comfortable subsistence,
and asking that ten acres of the Arlington
estate may be allotted to each one Of them
and to each one of their children
the above paragraph, which, few days
since, appeared in the special telegraphic
column Of the Boston Daily Journal, embra
ces an error of statement so grave in its i'm
putations upon the honor of one who, in all
the tempestuous and trying scenes through
which he has been called to pass, has never
hitherto been assailed, even by his bitterest
foes, as capable Of an act unworthy Chris
tan gentleman and soldier, that we deem it
duty to relieve his name from the oppro
prious aspersion.
Mr. Gusts died in October, 1857, and by
his will his slaves, at Arlington and else
where, were TO become free at the expiration
of five years from his death. 1t was also
provided in the will that the aged, infrm,
/ anu Olilelo ulttO1C ~ pioNitC III CiloHiooiNoo
should be taken care of on the estate. When
General Lee left Arlington, in the spring of
1861 some Of these slaves went with him,
and continued with him until they were free
by the terms of the within October Of the
subsequent year-and then they were all
treated Gas they we're, in fact, as freedmen
and women Some of them, preferring to
come back to Arlington on becoming free,
were sent through the lines from Richmond
by General Lee, and have since been resi-
ding on the Arlington estate. One of the
servants, a smart woman, was for some
time occupying one Of the old quarters in the
rear of the Arlington House, and was fur
nishing meals to Government employees at
that place From her, some years ago, we
gathered the facts in relation to her treat
ment and that of her associates by General
Lee, whom she represented as treating her
and the other servants kindly and justly,
giving them all their freedom, according to
the terms Of the will.-National Intelligent

immense service to this large class of afflicted

TENNESSEE.

An important election is to be held in Ten
nessee next month, for governor, members OF
thelegislature and other State officers. Prepar-
atory to the election the enrolling officers ap-
pointed by Governor Brownlow, are making
Lists, in each county, of the s'loyal" citizens
who are entitled to vote under the regula-
tons adopted by Brownlow's legislature.
Tennesseeis in that happy condition almost
which the radicals conceive to be the final
contamination of the radical scheme of liberty
and equal rights. In that State nobody ex-
cept persons of approved f'loyalty" are per
mitted to vote that is to say, only those are
recognized as enfanchised citizens who give
an implied promise to vote the radical ticket.
At the utmost one-fourth of the ordinary vot-
ing population of the State are embraced in
this convenient definition of ''loyalty," whilst
the other being contumacious
'rebels, simply because they do not swear
by Sumner, and declare that Brownlow is o
prophet and saint, are cast into the limbo of
perdition and Acknowledgement.
The radical papers declare that if the law
be properly enforced the "loyal men will
continue to govern the 'spreserved State !"
for the benefit of Brownlow and his fellow
plunderers, andito the great deleotation of re-
oicing myriads of the lovers of "equal
lights throughout the country. Indeed,
equal rights seem just now to be the end

OLD S0L-According to an old rule, which we
believe has never been changed-no matter what
the crcumstances-the sun crosses the equinoctial
line on the 2lst of September This event will
transpire to-day, if nothing happens to pre-.
vent t.-[Picayune.
Our venerable contemporary has lived long
enough to know better than this especially after
repeated corrections of the same error So far
from the time of Old Soils crossing the equi-
noctial line never changing, it is never the same
in any two consecutive years. Then, again, the
22d Of September is nearer to the average cor
rectness than the 2lst; and the statement gene
rally given is, that the vernal equinox occurs
about the 2lst of March, and the autumnal equi-
noX about the I'D Of September. Finally, the
autumnal equinox this year did not occur yester-
day, September 2lst, but it will not do even to-
day. ANY almanac will inform our contemporary
that forty-three minutes past one O'Clock on the
morning of tomorrow, September 23d, is the date
of the interesting eyent,-[N. o. Crescent
In correcting one error the Crescent has com
mitted another. 1t is true the time of day of the
equinoXes varies, but the vernal equinox, instead
of occurring I" about the 21st of March, invari.
ably occurs on the same day, and it was to insure
this regularity that the Gregorian calendar was
instituted. The day, however, must be understood
to be reckoned from noon to noon in European
