The probable result of the whole mat
ter of quibbliug about the test-oath and
the Reconstruction If Virginia will be
to delay action in the case until Con.
gross meets and leave final action for it.
There is not enough nerve in The Wash
iugton government to assume tue re-
sponsibility incident u action in such
case. There would be- no faltering
were the life of some poor woman at
stake. 1t can hang woman but can
decide a simple question of law. There
never has been such lamentable fail
ure in the history of American politics
as is presented in sb9 Administration Of
Grant. But Administration is a mis-
homer for he has failed to give us an
Administration. The government il
iun at all is conducted by the Loyal
League and few horse-J Jockeys. We
acted in good faith in the election oil
Walker aud are ready to make good
every promise made IN the campaign OF
since it closed, but it does look like the
government obtained those pledges from
US under false pretences and now break;
faith with US. Why does not General
Candy call the Legislature together il
he is anxious to comply with the law
lie takes advantage of technically
merely to violate the law. The whole
thing is an effort to foist Radical Scna'
tors upon Virginia.
