NesSrS. Edit0rS,--I have one or two que
res for you. Is it in accordance with the
established usage of this country to require
Virginia and the other unrcconstructed
States to ratify, by their Legislatures, the
proposed fifteenth amendment to the Consti~
tuition of the United States, when the same
authority which requires such action denies
that they are States; thus making that
which can only he done by q State condi-
ton of statcship? If this can be gotten over,
how will it be if their Legislatures are re-
.quired to take the test oath Then we shall
have the anomaly of territories voting to
amend an instrument to which they arc not
parties. Would not all such proceedings be
nugatory?
Ny object in making these queries is to
call your attention to what, in my humble
opinion, seems to be the most important ar
gument against the opinion of the com
manding General. ! cannot for my life see
how, under such circumstances, the adop-
ton of an amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States could be binding. IL.
The questions of our correspondent would
he important If the party in power under
stood the Constitution as the southern peo-
pie do, and as the trainers OF that instru-
1ncnt understood it. The compulsory ratiti-
cation of amendments is OF course nothing
but burlesque upon the form prescribed
in the Federal Constitution. President
JOHNSON go regarded the acts OF ratification
Of the fourteenth amendment, done In the
States of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, &c.
and freely expressed his opinion to that eli
feet. Nevertheless, Congress treated those
acts as valid, and in July 1868 passed 9
joint resolution declaring that that amend
ment had becomes part of the Federal Con-
stitution--a proceeding which would be
paralleled by certificate on the part OF
JOHN SMITH that THOMAS JoNES's deed con-
veying his (JoSEs's) land to WILLIAM
THOMPSON was good one. So our CORE
spondent viii perceive chat his questions are
neither new, nor, under the circumstances,
important. They would be laughed to scorn
8 in Congress.
y Congress has never, we believe, denied
that the lately-seceded States are States.
On the contrary, the reconstruction acts de-
clare that "thore are no legal State govern
ments" in the rebel States Of Virginia,
North Carolina" &C., thus recognizing
them as States out of their proper relation
10 the Federal head, and not as Territories
Old THAD. STEVENS was good lawyer; and
there are good lawyers now in Congress be-
longing to the Radical party. They are
not to be caught in such dilemma as our
correspondent seems TO think they are in.
He labors under the same misapprehension
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-08-12

with those persons who suppose that Mr.,
CHASE has judicially decided the recon
struction acts to be unconstitutional, and
that the late State Government of Virginia
was n valid one up to the time of the reno
val of Governor PEIRPoINT. The recon
struction acts nowhere provide for the ad-
mission of any State into the Union. They
simply provide for the admission of certain
States to representation in Congress-two
totally different things.
On the whole, we think our correspond
cnt will find that VIC have used every avail
able argument in discussing the test-oath
question. We have discarded all prejudices
and bubbles, and treated it as strictly lc-
gal question, accepting the existing laws rs
valid and constitutional, and trying to show
that they do not require this oath to be taken
by members of the Legislature.

GENERAL GRANT Observation-Disclosures:
saws telegram in FoRNEY's Press, General
GRANT twill treat Conservatives as Demo
"crats. In other words, having tried o
"perilous experiment in Virginia ana
approved the dishonesty of the southern
"leaders, he will in the future profit by his
"cxperience, and place trust only in men
"whose Republicanism is assured by acts
''already performed, rather than by pro-
"mises for the future"
boutwell, carries the day. General
GRANT does not show the pluck in civil life
that he did in the tented field. He has al
lowed silly man whom Mr.. EvAnTs last
year held up to the ridicule of all mankind,
and whom Mr.. JOHNSON treated with the
contempt he deserves, to overrule his own
good Judgment and TO induce him to forfeit
what the true Republicans of Virginia con-
sidcred as his plighted word.
