been secured from New York capitalists

1.-THE question of this West Virginia

HIGHLY IMPORTANT NEWS.
THE TEST OATH NOT TO BE ENACTED.
Attorney General Hoar Decides Against its
Requirement.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-The Vir-
ginia perpiexities have been solved.
Gen. Candy will very shortly proclaim
the result of the election. The Iegis-
lature will meet on the 4th Tuesday af-
forwards.
THE TEST OATH WILL NOT BE
ENACTED, but the Legislature will
be forbidden any action beyond what
the law makes preliminary TO the States
recognition by Congress, such as the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, sc. This action involves the
installation of the Lieutenant Cover
nor, as otherwise the State Senate Will
be incomplete. Walkers installation
will be necessary as a eo"ollary.
Attorney General Iloar's opinion has
gone to General Candy to the effect
that there is no authority in the recon-
struction acts for eXacting the test oath
from the Virginia legislators.
RIcHMoND, September 3.-There is
great rejoicing this morning over the
news telegraphed from here yesterday
and over lie expected arrival OF Attor-
ney General Hoar's opinion against
the requirement of the test oath.
| General Candy expected but did not
receive Attorney GeueIal Hoar's opin-
ion this morning.
WASHINGTON, September S.-Thc War
Department yesterday received from
Attorney General Hoar his opinion re-
lative to the political affairs in Virgin
in and has transmitted the same to
General Candy tor his information an
guidance. IU depends upon the latter
to make the full text public.
Yhe Attorney General says that the
Legislature must, as a prerequisites
submit the Constitution and their ac-
ton thereon to Congress for approval.
In this the test oath will not be requir.
ed. If the Constitution and the action
of the Legislature beapproved, the Leg
islature then becomes the Legislature
of the State of Virginia, and the provis
ions of the Con stitution, fixing the
qualifications of members OF the Legis-
lature, necessarily prevail. The re
quirements of the reconstruction acts
being thus superseded, so far as Vir
ginia is concerned. But before sucl
approval by Congress, 'Virginia no
being in all respects State OF the I'm
ion. the Legislature, as provisional
body, cannot pass laws without it
members taking the test oath. Tn,
reconstruction acts require the ratifica
ton of the Fifteenth Amendment t

i before the State can be admitted t

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.

By telegram from Washington we
have synopsis of the main point of
the proposition relative to Cuba which
Minister Sckles is said to have deliver
ed to the Regent, Serrano, in Madrid.
1t appears as II our representative set
out with the important preface that the
Cubans should vote their governmental
future under universal suffrage fran
chise, and that if the popular voice
should be unfavorable to a continuance
of the Spanish rule on the island Spain
should retire therefrom. In the mean
time the liberated Cubans should conf
pensate the Spaniards for all existing
property or solid value to the amount
of one hundred millions OF dollars, the
United States government guaranteeing
as we are told, the pay ment of the
money. This appears an excellent
plan. Spain wants the cash. 1t Ser
rano accepts it we presume lie can
