THE TEST OATH.

&. If any one still has fears about the
requirements of the test-oath, we think
the following extract from the State
Journal should quiet them completely :
Anlf the members of the Legislature,
which will meet in August, fail to take
the oath, and there be no quorum. there
is no doubt that the General command
ing the District will declare the seats OF
the disabled members vacant, and order
special elections to supply the vacan.
cies."
So, by the Confession of this unscru.
pulous fee to the rights of the white men
of Virginia no irreparable harm will be
done, even If the test-oath is required
All that it will render necessary, will be
new election so fill the seats that may
be declared vacant by Gen. Candy
Unless. however, all the principles of
justice and right are discarded, there
can be no doubt but that they will be
allowed to take their seats.

NEW LABOR MOVEMENT

) The Chinese alone retain their innate
energy beneath tropical suns Their
ultimate destiny may be to reclaim all
the vast areas Of tropical lands, insular
and continental, which have hitherto
been, paratively speaking, closed
world. Meanwhile plenty of land and
plenty of work can be found for them
in our Southern States We hail, there
fore, with satisfaction the welcome which
the Southern planters are about to offer
to Chinese immigrants. A convention
has been called to meet at Memphis on
the 18th of July, for the special en-
couragement of Chinese immigration. 1t
will be composed of delegates from al
parts of the South, particularly from
Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. 1t is
expected, moreover that Koopmanshaaf
one of the principal Chinese contractors,
at San Francisco, who has already
brought 10000 of his countrymen tc
America, will be present at the conven-
ton, and will unfold his plans for organ
izing a mighty scheme of direct immi
grafton to the South. We shall look
upon the presence of Koopmanshaaf at
such a convention as an event of his
torical moment. If Sambo will insist on
turning office-seeker, and will not work
the sooner John Chnaman takes his
place the better.

LATE CUBAN NEWS,

Dispatches received at Washington on
the 4th, by a near lady relative of the
General in command of the Cuban for.
ces, give full account of the attempt to
suceor the Spanish forces in Las Tunas.
A train, with force of from 1900 to
$500 men as guard was sent to relieve
the garrison at that place. They were
Interrupted by squadron of Gen. Mars
mol's cavalry and large portion of the
train captured, In the contest tbs Spa
nish loss was over 200. They succeeded
in reaching Las Tunas with a portion of
the train, and found the garrison suffer-
ing from cholera and an acclimating
fever, which had almost rendered it
helpless, After few days the disease
broke out among the reinforceme hts.
The encampment was vacated, and after
severe loss the garrison succeeded in eff
fecting their retreat.
In the Cinco Villas district the forces
under Lesca have haan rennleed with
considerable slaughter, and the whole
territory regained to the Cuban army.
| The result has given courage to the in
habitants, aud the recent outrages per-
petrated by Lesca, and the fact that no
quarter is to be given to the revolution
lists, whether actively engaged in the
field or in sympathy with the cause, has
inspired the inhabitants with an intense
hatred of Spanish rule and driven thou
sands into the army of Quesada. Thus
reinforced he has ordered an offensive
movement by the entire army, and dis
patches received state that he has re-
gained number of important positions
and is now master of the northwestern
! portion of the island.
/! The emigration to the island is repor-
4! ted to be increasing, and now amounts
/ to over 1000 men who have served in
the late war in this country, and are
acting in earnest with the Cubans in
their efforts to secure their independ-
ence. These dispatches assert that the
Cuban forces are well organized, armed
with the most approved arms, large
proportion being breech loading rifles,
are we'll provisioued and in the best
spirits. In the arrangement of the COM
mands of the army Gen. Thomas Jordan
has been named as commander of the
Eastern division, and some of the most
prominent and successful of the Caban
Generals are in his command, among
whom are Marmol, Marcano and Peralta
of Louisiana. rla
The town of Holguin, after an encoun-
ter in which the Spaniards lost over 800
men, was captured by Jordan's COM
mand.

WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE.
The annual meeting of the visitors and
governors of the college of William and
Mary was held in Richmond on Friday
the I'd instant. The meeting was well
attended. Bishop Johns, the rector
William Boulware, William S. Peachy,
Rev. Dr. Woodbridge, General Henry A.
Wise, Hon. William Ell. Mcfarland, P.
Montague Thompson, Tazewell Taylor,
Colonel William Lamb, Colonel Edward
Tayloe, Hugh Blair Grigsby, L. L. d
and Judge w. W. Crump were among
those present. We learn the proceed
ings were interesting to all concerned in
the welfare Of the noble old college.
The most important business was the
reorganization Of the Faculty, the
designations of the president, Colonel
Benjamin S. Ewell and the remaining
professors having been offered. The
Faculty was, after full elaboration, Or
ganized by the election of Rev. George
T. Wilmer, D, D., of North Carolina,
Professor of. Moral and Intellectual
Science and Bellies Lettres ); Thomas P.
McCandlish, of Williamsburg, Professo,
Of Latin, French and Roman History
Professor Frank Preston, of Lexington
Professor of Greek, German and Gre
clan History Professor. 7. T. L. Snead,
Of Williamsburg, Professor of Mathema,
tics DIR. Richard A., Wise, of Rich
mond, Professor of Chemistry and Min
eralogy The resignation of Professor
Benjamin S. Ewell, President and Pro.
fessor of Natural Philosophy and mixed
Mathematics, was not accepted. A
master of the grammar school is vet to
be chosen. ......4.,..
With this Faculty and the buildings
entirely restored, we trust William ant
Mary will soon resume its proper rank
as an educator of our youth. The Col
lege authorities are doing their part
and we call on our people to do theirs
and fill the college halls with pupils.
There is no ground in America more
classic than that on which William anC
Mary is built. With jamestown or

Of the youthful Washington, Jefferson

THE IRISH CHURCH Bill,

Cardinal Cullen, the Catholic Arch
bishop Of Ireland, has addressed letter
to the Catholic College, stating that if
the Irish Church bill is mutilated by the
Peers the nation must have fuller
measure of justice. The London Times
has come out editorially against the
amendments of the Lords. According
to the Times, the amendments of the
Lords make the bill more favorable to
the Established Church and more often.
sive in its provisions. 1t is manifest,
therefore, that turning point has been
reached in the history of the bill. Mr..
Gladstone's bill was completely salts
factory to the Catholics of Ireland but
1T is the conviction of the Catholics that
If the Lords have their way, they will
perpetuate offensive distinctions. In
these circumstances it will not be Won
derful if the bill, which, of course, will
be sent down to the Commons in its
amended form, be sent back to the
Lords in its original shape. II is far
from impossible that this Irish Church
bill may yet prove fruitful source of
trouble. This out burst of popular feel
ing will be all the more embarrassing to
the Ministry that they have promised to
Introduce a clause, to meet the wishes
OF the Lords, providing that the Irish
bishops shall retain their seats in the
Upper House.
