The Richmond Dispatch, which expressed
in very strong terms its disappointment at the
failure to submit the county organization
clause OF the proposed constitution to distinct
vote Of the people, considers now that it will
be best not TO throw away the opportunity to
get rid of the diSqualifying and DISTINGUISHING
clauses because the county organization Is not
also submitted to separate vote.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltl'
more Sun says sit is not improbable that an
effort will be made between now and the day
fixed for the election in Virginia, to have the
question re-opened and reconsidered, so as to
allow separate vote also upon the county or
aanization clause. This could be done by a
supplemental proclamation, and need not neces'
sarily interfere with the progress OF the regis
,ration and other matters incident to the cleo
tion. The fact that Gen. Grant himself ex-
pressed dsapprobation of the county organiza
ton clause is we'll known, and he remained
seadfast in his opposition to it, but was over
ruled BY his Cabinet" The same correspon
dent adds ~ have it from very good author
ity that, at the meeting of the cabinet last
Tuesday, when the question of the form oil the
proclamation was definitely determined, the
President urged that the county organization
clause be also excepted. This was opposed,
particularly by Mr.. Boutwell,, and his views
were concurred in by Messrs. Creswell, Hoal
and Cox. Secretaries Fish and Rawlins were
otherwise disposed, and agreed with the Presi
dent on the subject. Secretary Borie was alb
sent, but the Navy Department was represent
ed by Admiral Porter, who seemed to be dis
posed to act with the President, but did moi
take o very active part in the discussion. II
is knowledge of this fact that inspires hope
of n reopening OF the case, perhaps at the
meeting Tomorrow,

THE SEPARATELY SUBMITTED CLAUSEs.-l;
has turned out that nothing, virtually, but the
test oath clause wi be stricken from the Con
stitution. For although what is called the dis
franchsing section will be voted on and per
haps voted out, yet the effect OF so voting will,
as to office holding, be nj; iuasmuch as that
clause Is word for word identical with the
Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of
the U. s. As to holding, the retention
of the DISTINGUISHING clause iu the State Consti-
tuition would be superAuous; it being, as part
of the Federal Constitution, already operative
10 the State That clause would not exclude
from Office single citizen of this State. not
already excluded by the l4th Amendment. Its
only effect would be upon class OF voters,
whom it also prohibits from voting. The l4th
Amendment prohibits from ofice-holding this
clause of the State Constitution prohibits from
voting and Office holding. Voting it out will
have no other effect than to allow the persons,
who cannot hold Office under the Federal Con-
sitution, nevertheless to vote in the State cleo
tons. The test oath clause is, therefore, the
only substantial provision which will be sub
mitted to separate yote.-Richmond State
