THE TEST OATH,
Decision of the Supreme Court
Against the Constitutionality
Of the Test Oath of
the State of
Missouri.

From the National Inteligencer.l
In the Supreme Court Of the United
States, Monday, Associate Justice Field
said he had been instructed to deliver the
opinion in the case of John A. Cummins,
plaintiff in error, against the State Of
Missouri, involving the constitutionality
Of the test oath of that State. The plain
tiff was a Roman Catholic nriest, and
convicted by the courts for advising and
preaching without having first taken the
required oath, and sentenced to pay a
fine of FIVE hundred dollars, and COM
mitted to Jail till paid. On appeal from
the Circnit Court, the Supreme
Court of the State affirmed the
Judgment The following is a mere
outline of the opinion The oath, by the
Constitution Of that State, imposes more
than thirty distinct ahirmations and tests.
Some of them constitute offenses of the
highest grade, TO which the heaviest pen.
alties are attached; some Of them are
not recognized by statute, while Others
are not blameworthy. They require him
not only to swear that be was moi
only not in hostility to the Uaited
States, but that he never manifested
adherence 10 the cause of the enemy, OF
desired a triumph over the arms Of th,
United States, or that he ever expressed
sympathy for the rebels, or ever songh
to promote the ends Of those engaged il
war against the United States authori
ties, or even left the State to escape ea
rolment or the performance Of militarl
duty, or even expressed his dissatiafac

many of the members having received
