else Of this power he has sub
mitted separately that part Of
the VirginiaCo Constitution which
enacts an oath substantially
identified with the test oath, to
be taken by all officers and le-
gislators in the State. The
people Of the State will proba-
bly, expunge this provision from
the Constitution, and in SO do
ing they will not transcend the
privilege conceded by Congress.
Surprising, however, General
Candy rendering of the ninth
section of the second supple
mentary reconstruction act to
be correct, this anomaly will be
witnessed The test which the
people vote down, under authori-
ty conferred by Congress, will be
restored by the mere order of
the District Commander. Nay,
a test which, in the judgment
of the President, is too odious
and unjust to be incorporated
in the Constitution without the
explicit approval of the cleo
tors, will be exacted in a more
40 pravated form bv Gen. Cam
by. The possession of such au-
thority on his part implies pow
er by military order to impose
a requirement not warranted
by the Constitution under
which members of the Legisla-
ture will hold their seats and
perform their duties. The
anomaly would be too fragrant
to be tolerated under any rule
of reason OF law. For it would
in effect confer upon the Dis
trict Commander power to an
null the popular vote and neu-
tralize the policy of Congress,
by virtue Of whose special en-
actment this election is held.
Apart from the fair and COM
mon sense rendering Of the law,
there are considerations of gen
eral policy which, in our opin4
ion, should cause the disallow-
ance Of Gen Candy s order. The
whole tendency of public opin-
ion and Of the recent measures
adopted byCongress and the Pre-
sident is against prescription as
an agency in reconstruction.
The conviction is all but univer-
sal that, however necessary in the
period Immediately subsequent
to the rebellion, disabilities are
no longer desirable. They are
recognized as hindrances to the
harmony and peace which are
on all sides demanded. This
feeling led the President to ia
cilitate the purgation Of the
Virginia Constitution of it's OBJ
noxious features, and compels
even those who were nominated
as proscriptionists to affect
more liberal policy. To allow
Gen. Candy to engraft, as it
were, upon the Virginia Con-
stitution an oath that would
exclude from the Legislature
almost the entire white popula-
ton of the State, would be to
allow him to Illustrate the wish
es of the people whose votes
alone can impart validity to the
new Constitution, and to arrest
the declared purposes of the
Executive and the party sus-
tanning him. TO be compelled
to submit to these things I'M
der the imperative terms of
law, would be bad enough. |
But with the spirit and even
the letter of the law against
him, and with the uniform
practice of the Government in
parallel cases against him, GEL
neral Candy should be required !
to revoke his decision, and |
leave the members of the Vir-
ginia Legislature subject only
TO the provisions of the State
Constitution and the prohibito-
ry section of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
