The same house has sent US Foil Play,
by Charles READE, who is the most popu-
lar of living British authors, not even OK
cepting DICKENS. Four out Of five men at
watering places with novels in their hands
are said to be found with READE's, though
this may be owing to the fact that DICK
ESs's have already been read by everybody.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-08-07

Mr.. BouTwELL.-The Philadelphia Age
says it is now certain that Mr.. Boutwell,
is at the bottom of the whole movement
made by General CANDY to apply the test
oath in Virginia to the ncwly-clectcd mem
bcrs Of the Legislature. Mr.. boutwell, is
undoubtedly favorable to the movement,
but We doubt whether he suggested it. If,
however, as our Washington correspondent
says, General SHERMAN, General GRANT,
and Messrs. RAwLINs and FISH, rs we'll as
Mr. Cox, are opposed to it, there can be
but one source Of danger, and that is the
Acknowledgement. If he should give it as
his opinion that the law requires the cx-
action Of this oath, we are apprchcnsivc
that the President and the Cabinet would
surrender the question. Nevertheless, we
still rely upon General GRANT.
