speech at Richmond, in which he de-
ciared the test oath and registration
oaths unconstitutional, and appealed
to the white masses of the North
against the effort to reduce the white
freemen of the South to the dominion I

fellow citizens to renew their allegi-

live in peace and plenty soti2sl' tssr

above question respecting the gentle
man, who figures in the Conover case. |
says:
: He was clerk in the General Land |

Southern feelings. When Mr.. Lincoln /
came into office his registration was
accepted. He then removed to Vir-
ginia and engaged in the study of the
law. Returning to Washington in
1864, he opened acclaim agency, but
having starved out at that business,
he became asub editor ofthe Notsondt +
1atel!igencer, and passed from that
position to clerkship in the Attorney
