the Virginia Legislature.
A Bold Stroke for Radical
SpOils.
THE PRINTERS TROUBLES.

WARRINGTON, July 10. 1899.
General Canby's Proposition for Calling To.
gethcr the Virginia Legislature.
learn to-day from source In Richmond entitled
to credit that General Candy has sent circulars to all
the members Of the Legislature elect asking each Of
them II they can qualify by subscribing to the IRON
clad oath. II he ascertains there is q quorum OF
both houses thus qualified be will issue hts proclsms
ton In about fifteen days announcing the result OF
the election and calling the Legislature together
to ratny the fifteenth amendment and elect
United States Senators. The members unable
to qualify would in thus case remain abb
sent until the constitution had been ratified
by Congress- and the State admitted, when
they would present themselves and qualify under
the State constitution from which the test oath has
been expunged. Should there not, however, be
found quorum able 70 qualify by taking the test
oath, the commanding general will then defer issu
ing his proclamation, but will order new elections
to oil the seats which win be declared vacant by
reason Of inability to qualify q above. 1t Ia sup
posed there will be quorum Of both houses and
that the ultras will have majority on joint ballot
which, in that event, would enable them to
elect United States Senators. Governor Wells
and L. H. Chandler, both defeated radical
asprants, would doubtless In this case be
sent to the Senate, and one OF the main
fruits Of the victory recently achieved would, by
this artfu arrangement be snatched from the hands
Of the liberal republicans but should there not be
quorum the elections will scarcely alter the COM
plexton Of the Legislature, which now stands from
the 0ffical returns folOws-Tn tho Senate thirty
white liberals and none colored eight white pro-
scripsioniss and i've colored; In the House, ninety
three white and three col0red liberals and twenty
three white and nineteen colored proscrptionists,
