General Candy on the Tesf-0ath---A
Letter from Him to the New York


Letter from Him to the New York
IS Tines.''
New YORK, July 12.-The Times pub
raj F. r. s. Candy:
HEADoU ARTERS FIRST MILITARY DISTHrCT,2
STATE OF VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND, VA, July 9th, 1869.
To the Editor of the Ne,o York Times:
think that in your article OF Yesterday
morning OH the "Test-Oa in Virginia"
you have overlooked the material point
that the constitution proposed for that
State has not been approved by Con.
gress, and that the decisions OF General
Grant which are cited by you were
given after the approval of the constitutions
to which they referred, or related in every
instance to conditions which could not eX-
list until after that approval had been OBJ
tanned. Upon this point there can, think,
he no difference of opinion, and the decl.
sion made now is precisely the same that ]
made more than year ago, and Is entirely
consistent with every decision of General
Grant that have ever seen. have hereto
fore, in two districts-the second and fifth
recommended that Congress should be
asked to dispense with, or modify,
the test oath, and in one OF them,
mainly in order to avoid the diff.
culties that exist now, / suspended the
meeting of IL legislature until after the con.
stitution under which it had been elected
had been approved by Congress. | would
| take the same action in this case if Congress:
had not directed the assembling of the Vir
ginia Legislature at a definite time. That
being the case. it must in my judgment rs
semblc under the conditions now, and no
those which may hereafter be, imposed by
law.
Questions of policy may properly shape
| legislative action, but they do not work tll'
repeal of existing laws or authorize distrlc
commanders to annul them. Under conStl
tutional and legislative provision, the mem
| 'bers of the several State Legislatures ant
all executive officers of the several States
must. before they proceed to execute tht
duties of their respective offices, take thu
prescribed oath or affirmation. Members
conventions were not required by the law
of the United States to take any such oatl
| or affirmation. The oathS or affirmation
now prescribed are those of July 2, 1862
and July II, 1868, and those prescribed b,
the State constitutions which have been ap
proved by Congress, either directly or by
the admission of the States.
A district commander cannot dlSpenst
with the oaths prescribed by the laws o
July ., 1862, and July II, 1868. rs they appl!
to particular cases, and substitute for then
the oath by any proposed constitution, tn
validity of which is contingent upon futur
action, without assuming power which
Congress has expressly reserved to itself.
Ifyou will take the trouble to refer to TIL
enclosed General Orders you will see hoN
little justification there is for the charg
that the decision now complained of is a
after thought.
Very respectfully. sir,
Your obedient servant,
ED. r. s. CANaY,
Brcvet Major-General.
