Virginia a fairs.

WASHINGTON, August lG.-The assertions
that Attorney General Hoar has given an
opinion iu reference to requiring the test oath
OF members elect OF the Legislature OF Virgin
ia, or that Gen Sherman comedies with Gen.
Cauty in the views Of the latter, are erroneous.
The question is still with the Attorney Gener
AL who is not III the city, aud it is known that
at the last Cabinet meeting the subject was not
preached. Gen. Sherman, under the recon
slruction acts, has control OF the matter, but
has not taken any action whatever. AN state
mcnts in regard to Gen Canby's plans and
purposes arc mere speculations.
