FRIDAY, OCTOBER l. 1869.

The Washington correspondent Of the Baltl'
moro Sun says: at is said the President is
strongly opposed to imposing any further tests
upon Virginia before her admission to Congress.
In conversation with Senator Wilson few days
ago he said he thought nothing was to be gain
ed by keeping States out which had complied
with the acts Of Congress as Virginia had, He
hoped the Legislature would elect Senators
who could take the iron-cad oath. The Rich
mond correspondent of the Sun says: The
radicals of Virginia and Of Congress are watch
ing eagerly for pretexts to prolong our proba-
tion, and they will know how to use this l4th
amendment to our detriment if We fail to for
mally acquiesce in it. 1t is already asserted
mere by Wells men that Congress will be very
apt in any event, to annul the proceedings OF
this Legislature on the ground that its members
did not take the test oath-the opinion OF the
Attorney General not legally exempting them
from its exaction."

UNITED STATES MARsHALs OFFICE.
DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA,
RICHMOND, Sept. 18th, 1869.
| "Hon. .John H. Gilmer
DEAR SIR-ln the intervals OF my official
duties | have reflected upon the subject OF your
note TO me, and of our brief conversation, and
am entirely convinced Of the soundness and
wisdom of your political views. Peace anu
harmony arc essential to any considerable ma
terial development or prosperity. l am conll
dent no man in the State has brought halt the
capital and skilled labor, or spent halt the
time and money in the effort that your humble
servant has, and the great objection OF wealthy
and solid men to coming or investing here has
always been q violent, proscrlptve, partlzan
shirt, hostile as it ever is to all benchcent pro-
press. Impressed with the truth OF your views
[ have tried 10 cultivate Christian kindness and
charity; was, as you know. the first Federal
Judge in the South to admit our professional
brethren to full practice in defiance OF test. oath
acts of Congress long before the Supreme Court
or even the Chief Justice had declared them
hovn cd cd m
nesty and suffrage, and refused even to reply
to single newspaper SANDER; which think
you will admit was high evidence OF torbearance
and a peace. loving disposition. | have not at
tended partisan political meeting for many
years, unless you would call a meeting to con-
slider and ratiiy the constitution made by a
body over whom | was invited to preside, 20
liticaf) and have not political aspiration; but
you may count on me TO do anything | can IN
the cause OF progress-material or educational.
Ten years ago | went to Boston and Providence
for the Spring Hill Company; saw the Law
rences Spragues, Harrises, Browns and Ives,
to induce manufactures here in Richmond, and
there learned what few of our people know, the
real difficulties OF cur situation. Yours truly,
'JoHN G. UNDERWOOD. y
There are many "eucsses' as to the motive.
the animus, the object, the DRIFT, of the publ
cation OF this correspondence at this particular
time, and as to the tone Of this letter, which
instead of the ultraism Of the war days, and the
days subsequent to the war, now ''roars as
gently as sucking dove" presents the Rfw
rie,c too, to change the figure, OF being behind
nobody 'in bringing in capital and skilled
labor" besides spending unrnumcratcd time
and MONEY" O.
