THE nATH OF OFFICE.


There seems to be great difference in
the minds of many men Of legal attain
ments and unquestioned loyalty as to the
propriety and legality of insisting on so
stringent and sweeping an oath for public
officers as the one prescribed by Congress
for officers of the United States. When
this difference of opinion comes from
respectable, learned, and patriotic citizens,
the subject becomes one ofimportance, and
worthy of our most mature and careful
consideration. We have never personally
advocated test oaths. The sooner the
country can do without them the better it
will be for all truth.loving men.
Test oaths in this community have
ceased to command respect. The amount
of perjury to which the test oath has given
rise is truly astounding, and is to be sim
cerely deplored by all rightminded citi-
zens. There was no particular desire on
the part Of the Legislature Of this State to
insist on the application of the test oath to
the members; there was simply desire to
comply as nearly and faithfully as possible
with the provisions Of the reconstruction
laws of Congress, as the majority under
stood them, SO that no objection could be
raised by the authority of the United States
government. But as the Major General
commanding this district has instructed
the Legislature to dispense with the oath
prescribed by the United States, and as be
at present represents the authority of the
United States in this State, we trust his
orders may be treated with respect. We
have no doubt that the members Of the
General Assembly will recognize the
justice and propriety OF this suggestion,
and will decline any collision with the
military commander of this district. Let
them insist on the qualifications required
by the constitution Of this State, and article
fourteen Of the Constitutional amendment,
which we publish this morning. The
welfare of the State and the success OF
Republican principles do not depend on
the rigid application of the test oath, and
as there is now some justification for doing
away with it, in obedience with military
command, members of the Legislature will
cheerfully acquiesce. By SO doing they
will show due respect for the highest au.
thority Of the United States in this State,
and evince a spirit of lberality toward
our Democratic citizens, while the. cause of
true Republicanism would not suffer in the
least. Let us hear no more of Republican
prescription after this, and let our Demo
cratic politicians for once give us credit
for generosity to our political enemies.

PnILRDI-


The Democrats yesterday, previous to
the hour of meeting brought into requisition
all their available means to prevent the
assembling Of quorum Of either branch Of
the Legislature. Brides and threats alike
failed, however, to shake the integrity or
awaken the fears of Republican members,
and we believe every man who on the
previous day subscribed to the test oath
was found in his place promptly at the
designated hour This may be regarded
as last dying struggle on the part Of the
opponents Of freedom and equal civil
rights in Louisiana, and for this happy con.
summation may weaau sincerely rejoice,
Furthermore, we verify believe that had
the Vaccinations of the Democratic mem
bers to break the quorum proved success,
the better part of their constituents would
have lamented the fact. Property owners,
and others materially interested in the
restoration of peace and stable civil gov
eminent to the State are beginning to dis
Germ the difference between factious op.
position to the Inevitable and earnest resist
ance based upon principle, to measures
which at frtt were obnoxious.

It would be worse than folly to deny the
fact that the feeling manifested yesterday
by the Democrats at being SO fairly out
generated by the Republicans in the Legis
lature fully justified the extraordinary pre-
cautions taken by Major Williamson, our
efficient chief OF the city police. But. for
this display Of sufficient and resolute
force the elements which surrounded Me-
obanics' Institute might have transformed
the serene aspect which affairs maintained
into one of serious disturbance.
There were few who overlooked the mys-
terious call in the columns of democratic
cotemporary for the assembling Of the
clans of certain secret order which is
popularity accredited as first cousin to the
Ku-Klux Khan.
The members of the order in all of the
four districts of the city were directed to
meet at their special and several places Of
gathering, and while the uninitiated per-
haps placed an undue significance upon
this fact, there is no denying that it added
to the sense of uneasiness, which subsequent
events developed.
We are reliably informed that special
police officer boldly accused rejected ap-
plicant for State Senatorship with having
induced the attendance at the State House
of a number Of Sicilians for the purpose Of
creating or aiding in difficulty. There is
no denying that number of Sicilians were
there. We would not be understood as
having any particular antipathy against
this class Of citizens Tor for that matter any
dread either, but the charge and the I'M
accustomed presence are facts, and formed
to put it mildly, singular coincidence.
The Lieutenant Governor, too, an
nounced in his place as President of the
Senate, that be had been threatened should
be persist n faithful discharge of bis
duties; and he is not man to make such
statement upon idle report.
These circumstances, with others not re-
curing special mention, justified feelings
of uneasiness for the permanency of the
public peace-whether well or i'll founded
may be of speedy determination. But it
is gratifying to be assured, as we
are, that every requisite precau-
ton has been and will be instituted
to maintain public order, and that under no
circumstances can the bloody scenes Of
July, 1866, again disgrace the fair metrop-
oils of Louisiana. The strong arm of the
law is now upon the side of law and justice,
and instigators or fomenters of wrong
doing will snmmarily be brought to full
accountability.
We have double purpose in openly
commenting on the facts above recorded,
viz; To assure our friends, in the first
place, that if there existed any serious
cause for alarm the crisis has passed; and,
secondly, to warn enemies Of law and order,
if such there still are, that this is one of the
eras in their lives when discretion is the
better part of valor."

ANOTHER STAR IN THE UNIoN,-In the
United States Senate yesterday the Senators
from Florida were admitted to seats by a
vote Of thirty-three yeas to six nays. In
the House the case of the Representatives
was referred to the Committee en- Elections,
who will beyond question report favorably.
Florida may, therefore, be considered a
State In the Union, represented for the first
time in many years BY loyal men. Louisi-
anal will soon follow her example.

I1EUrENAaT GOVERNOR DUHN's RULING.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR pUNN's RULING,
The Picagne in its eagerness to prevent
a possible divergence of opinion between
Lieutenant Governor Dunn and General
Grant failed to state the case fairly or
properly, but puts forth the following de-
Cldedly erroneous version Ct the affair:
When a Senator appealed from the decis.
ion of the Chair this appOintee Of General
Grant declared that he would not put the
appeal, and that he alone was the judge
of the cath tosbe taken, and that he would
put no other
One Of the gentlemen present who claim
ed to be Senator, but who had not quail
fed by taking any oath, attemptedto exer-
else the prerogaiyes of member, but
the President IF the Senate informed
him that no enc could take part in
the deliberations or be recognized by
the Chair as either competent 70
make a motion or to vote until he was
properly qualified. The President at the
same time distinctly stated that after the
Senate had become oTganizea, that is,when .
quorum had been sworn in, such action
could be taken as q majority Of the mem
bers might decide upon. But that one NOT
qualified as Senator could not be, per
mitted TO appeal from decision of the
Chair, or exercise any other function Of a
member. It seems ID us that the decision
Of the Lieutenant Governor is both logical
and parliamentary.

Our contemporary, the Picayune, we
think is wrong in ridiclling the United

project may be which goes by that name.
Those officers in all they have done in this
connection bat simply performed their du-

Consul, afhdavitmade by him against the
parties arrested, and had the government
Representatives not taken the accused into

would have been guilty Of an almost un-
pafdonable olIense against the laws which
govern the relations of the two countries
Immediately concerned.
