The Oath of July, 1862, not required
in organizing the new State govern
ment.
1t will be seen by the following letter, just
received from Maj General Candy, that the
"iron-clad" test-oath, as it is called, will not
be required IN organizing our new State
government. As soon, therefore, as the Leg
isature shall assemble, organize, and adopt
the Constitutional amendment, the State will
be entitled to representation in Congress;
whereupon the State officers will be quail
fed and will enter on their respective duties,
No person excluded by the Constitutional
amendment, unless relieved by Congress, will
be allowed to qualify. 4. ~ Ea-,-
As the bill to admit the State has become
law, the order referred to by Gen. Candy
will no doubt be issued at once The Leg
.;~iAtnre of this State will assemble on We'd
nesday next, and it is expccteu ruo e'or~.
and State officers will be inaugurated on

SIR-The second section of the act to I" adj

lures to meet before the complete restoration
of the States, is regarded as dispensing with
the oath of Office prescribed by the act of
July End, 1862, in the case of the members
elect who are not disqualified by the Con
stitutional amendment, and as allowing
them to qualify upon taking the oath of
Office prescribed by the new State Constitu-
ton.
As soon as the bill becomes law an order
will be issued modifying the provisions of
General Orders No. So, of May 18th, 1858,

500 from that source. BY making the
