LEXINGTON AND Big SANDY RAILROAD
j. j. PORTER, Esq, publishes letter in
the Louisville Courier giving an account Of
recent visit to Virginia, made by him for
the purpose of inducing the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company to extend its
road wcstwardly from the White Sulphur
Springs via the mouth of the Greenbrier
river to the kentucky line as nearly in the
direction of Lexington as possible. He met
the Board of Directors of that company in
Richmond in May, and stated hiscase. The
Board passed the following resolutions:
e RESOLVED, That this company will as
soon as possible, make an experimental
survey Of route from the mouth, or from
near the mouth, of Greenbrier river to the
Kentucky line, at or near the Burning
Spring, In the general direction of licking
ton, Ky. s. =,
+" ReSolued, That the authorities of Louis
vile be respectfully requested to cooperate
with TINS company in ascortaining and
establishing the shortest and most advan-
taSeous connection between that city and
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad"
mF. PORTER also presented the scheme to
the consideration of General MALONE, pre-
sldent OF the consolidated roads sonth g
James river, over part of which from
hynchburg to Norfolk) the projected line
wiz run and he Immediately declared it the
most important project be had ever seen

The Test-Oath.

We have received from citizen OK -this
State n communication, written for publ
cation in some independent" paper, wh,ch
communication consists of on argument IN
tended to show that by the reconstruction
octs the members elect Of our new Legisla"
ture are required to take the tess-oash. I'VE
s,rc decidedly of the opinion that the Dspdtch
is as nearly an independent" paper as
anv other published in Virginia and we
are also decidedly of the opinion that no
papcr that we are acquainted with Is any
more independent than it ought to be:
All the papers ought to expose humbugs
denounce bores do justice to the merltorl-
GUS strip off the sleeps clothing from bipe-
dial wolves; tell not only the truth but the
whole truth concerning public men ana
measures and do many other things which
thew do not. The Dispatch does not claim
10 he cuil.lcss in respect Of all such mat
tiers. 1t is published in a so-caiied " Tree
country. wherein it is the practice to sub
NIT nearly oil measures to the popular vote
os . means of deciding whether 1t would DC
wise to adopt them; and consequently We
like tho rest of the people, have perhaps In
some degree become untitled for editing an
independent paper. We are too apr
either to condemn measure because inc
majority of the voters condemn II, or, al
least, to withhold praise where praise may
be due. or censure where censure may DC
needed, for no better reason than the aP-
prehension that the public will not tolerate
a difference of opinion on any question
upon which the voters have expressed their
opinion at the ballot-b box, especially II the
question be an unimportant one.
But we have strayed away from our sub
loot The communication which evoked
this article argues the question of the le-
cality of exacting the test-oath from the
members elect of the Legislature as II the
words which We place in italics, and which
are the qualifying ones, and therefore al
least as important as any others, we're not
! in the law that he quotes to sustain his po'
sitlU2
"That all members of said Boards OF
Registration, and all persons hereafter
elected or appointed to office in said mill
tary districts, under any So-caHed State or
municipal authority, or by detail or Gp-
pointment of the district commanders,
shall be required to take and to subscribe
the oath Of office prescribed by law for Of
ficers of the United States"
The act of which the above section forms
n part shows what itself describes as so
called State authority" The members OF
the new Legislature were not elected under
"any so-called State authority" nor de-
tailed nor appointed by the district COM
mander. If they we're, we agree with our
correspondent. If they were not SO elected,
he discusses point which has not been
raised, so far as we know, by those who
differ with him as to the legality of requir-
ing the test-oath of them. At any rate, we
beg to be excused for declining to publish
any more communications upon the subject.

these false alarms are got up, and why the
Health Board, when there are doubts in re-

ANOTHER THING GAINED BY THE WAR-A
BLESSING IN DIsGUisE.-Before the rebellion
there could not well have been more than fiv e
million white applicants for Office in the
SOuth-niggers not counted. After the war
the number Of office-seekers there may be
reckoned at seven millions-niggers counted
and making fair allowance for white men dis
franchised. Then there is the large colored
population in the North to be added to the
number of Office-seekers. Taken altogether, it
may be safely calculated that five million black
adults have been added to our Office seeking
population since the war closed, and should be
included among the many other blessings it
conferred. This. however, Is one of those
blessings that had better have kept up its dis
guise.
