Hoar's opinion holding members not to take
the test-oath, &c, is erroneous, and that K
was not lawful for the Legislature to take
any action of any kind until the members had
all subscribed the test-oath. They assert
that they have c~anvassed the House, and
find q majority with them, and therefore 1t
does not matter how much Immunity there
may be among senators In favor of the i'm
mediate admission of Virginia. The House
is master Of the situation, since both Houses
must approve what has been done under
the reconstruction acts in that State before
senators Or representatives can take their
seats. WALLACE,
