VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, Va, April 17.--Gencral Scho-
field visited aud addressed the Convention this
morning He said the iron-clad oath in the
Constitution was extremely Objectionable He
had administered the reconstruction laws in
the State for more than year, and the result
of his experience was that it would be practi
cally impossible to carry on the Government of
Virginia on such a basis. In appointing reg
isterng officers he had found perhaps two per-
sons in county capable to perform the duties
who could take this oath, a yet there were
thirty civil officers in county. In bis opinion
the oath would be fatal TO the Constitution
In other respects the Constitution was neither
better nor worse than thos' Of the other States
Much depended on the men first elected to
carry it out, and that oath restricted the range
necessary for the selection Of the best men
As party measure it would be fatal
Applause followed the address. After Cen
eral Schofeld had left a heated debate ersued
on reconsiderng the vote adopting the oath
Mr. Hine explained that under the new Con-
sttuton there were only seven officers IN a
COUNTY who have to take the oath.
The Convention refused, by a vote Of &c to
80, to suspend the rules TO consider the modi
fication of the oath and will adjourn sine die
about midnight.
ADJOURNMENT OF TIE VIRGINIA CoSvEN-
TIoX-RIcmoNT, April lS-Thc constitu-
tional convention adjourned at midnight last
night, subject to the call of the committee
Only the president and secretary signed the
constitution, a resolution having been adopted
dispensing with the signing 10y the members.
II is understood that the conservatives would
have refused to sign it. Among the republi-
cans voting against the final adoption was one
negro.
After the adjournment speeches were made.
Mr. Porter, leading republican, predicted the
ratification of the constitution by large ma
iority. Mcssrs Snccd and Allen, two leading
republicans, predicted the defeat Of the consli-
tuition. and said this was deserved Snecd OPP
posed it mainiy on the ground Of the fraudu-
lent character Of the homestead exemption, and
Allen because it placed white men under the
negro.
General Schofeld to-day suspended J. s.
Calvert, State treasurer, on charges preferred
by the Governor, and appointed George Rye,
the secretary Of the convention, treasurer al
interim.
John H. pcndlcton, superintendent Of the
State prison, has been removed and Burnham
Wardwell appointed in his place.
r. w. Savage, mayor, with new set Of cor
poration officers, were to-day appointed for
Charlottesville.
The conservative members Of the convention
have issued an address to the people of the
State. 1t is e,of the arguments made
use of on that side during the session. They
estimate a white majority under the last regis
tration.

Mr.. Butler next proposed to show BY the
files Of the Senate the nominations OF Shermar
and Thomas 10 be Generals by brevet, sent IN
by the President in February last.
Mr.. Evarts inquired under what article tbs
testimony was offered.
Mr.. Butler replied, under eth and llth arti'
cles.
The Chief Justice submitted the question ~
the Senate, and the testimony was ruled out b.
% to IA.
Mr.. Butler then announced that the case o.
the part Of the managers was closed, and az
witnesses summoned at their instance were dis'
charged. I.--..,
Mr.. Evarts made similar announcement 4
the part of the defence, and thus the testimony
on both sides closed.
Mr.. Boutwell, then rose and announced thst
he had been selected to make the first argN-
ment on the close of the case, and. as he would
probably require an entire day for that pur-
pose he would like to commence at the open
ing Of the session tomorrow, aud Suggest ID
adjournment until that time.
Mr.. Evarts said that, in consequence OF the
indspoStion Of Mr.. Stanbery, who IS to make
the closing argument for the defence he would
suggest an intermission Of two days, as he sup
posed that would be more agreeable 20 he
managers if there was to be any delay at all
Mr.. Boutwell, acquiesced in the suggestion,
| and thereupon
Mr.. Manager Logan arose and stated that
he had prepared an argument which had been
printed and which he would like to have an
opportunity Of presenting to the Senate before
the close of the case.
Senator Stewart moved that he be allowed
to do So
Senator Buckalew objected.
Senator Sherman moved to allow the counsel
for the President the same privilege, which was
also objected to- and therenpon, on motion Of
Mr. Reverdy johnson, the Court adjourned I'M
