The Richmond Wing, ia relation to tie
reported opinion of General Candy concerning
the requirement ,or ihe iron clad oath on the
part OF those who may be elected to Tic Viz
ginia Legislature, says:
we are not aware OF any disposition on
the part Of General Candy to enforce his in
depreciation IN opposition TO that G! General
Grant. On tho contrary, from what We have
heard of his action in Carolina, by deierring
the meeting OF the Legislature till the meet
ing OF Congress, and thereby leaving the ques'
ton 10 that body, we anticipate the same
liberal and enlightened policy here.
Besides, il is believed tic test oath clause"
will be stricken cut Of the Constitution.

forecast than the vast majority OF those with
whom he worked, he was also more cautious,
and, consequently, in times of heated debate,

The fact that the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Constitution have a serious effect upon
the Representation Of some Of the Northern
States. under the apportionment Of the next
census, seems to have been overlooked until
recently, when il was brought to the attention
o. the census committee. Ia case the Fifteenth
Amculmcn, is not ratified before the census Is
taken, and the apportionment for the next ten
years made, the colored people in the Nof'h-
ern States will not lie included, as heretofore,
in the basis OF representation, because they are
not allowed to vote. This, it is estimated, will
DERIVE the larger States OF from one to two
n,n1nlnrs OF CONGRESS each.
