ELIGIBILITY OF CANDIDATES,
Very many threats continue to be
made by Governor Wells and his lieu
tenants TO make void our election ol
members of the Legislature, by exactns
the "ion-c lad OATH" we have hereto
fore given General Grants opinion and
decision upon that subject i'll the Geor-
gia case, fortified by the statement made
by Judge Chase in'Richmond last week
that this view of the matter by General
Grant is impregnable
Now we observe that no ORDER has
been issued by Gen. Canly on the sub
ject; but a letter from him to one of the
editors OF the State Journal has been
published, in which he makes a legal
disqustion on the question not very
easy TO be understood. But there is one
part OF the letter, which, if we interpret
correctly, tends to show that we shall
not have the least difficulty in respect
to the eligibility of our members of the
Legislature. Congress and the Presi-
dent have both authorized us to vote
down the test oath. Hence, says Gen.
Candy IN that letter.
II have heretofore held, and do now
hold, that the approval by Congress of
any proposed constitu ion makes it a
part OF the reconstruction laws, and to
the extent that Congress directs or au-
thoriZes any action under it in advance
of the admission of the State dispenses
With the provisions of any previous
laws that conflict with it.
The approval by Congress" to the
expurgation of the test oath was given
III advance and they are not likely to
60 back upon the act of last session in
this respect. Now Gen. Candy himself
hol Is that, under Gen. Grants instruc-
tions to General Meade, the officers dur
ing the preliminary action before &C
ceptance by Congress, are not required
to ttko the test oath; so, of course, if
there is no test oath in the constitution
they vii not be required to take any
after approval by Congress.
This question will be very quickly
settled when our members elect TO the
House of Representatives present them
selves for admission Their credentials
will be referred, as it is usual in such
cases, to the Committee on Elections, and
if any OF them are prepared to qualify
and are admitted, the State by this ac-
ton will be declared entitled to repre-
sentation, and the expurgated constitu-
ton will at once have full force ard
effect, will govern the General Assembly
in all its action, and take from General
Candy, if he ever really had it,all power
to require any oath at all.
We think our friends need be under
no apprehension on this acc cunt, Our
candidates have been nominated under
the 14th amendment, and they stand
upon General Grants proclamation. We
have only to go forward and elect them,
and we have no fear but what they will
have full justice accorded to them by the
President and by Congress. e. .

FORTY ACRES AND A MULE.

The Petersburg Times-forced to an
extreme by the odium which failure OF
the carpet-b aggers promises to the COL
ored voters has created among them,
causing huge detection from the ranks
of Wells, the formation of colored Wal
ker clubs, and their determination to be
free aud independent of the leagues
denies that anybody ever promised the
colored voters "forty acres and mule"
This is an impeachment of the veracity
of its colored friends by wholesale,
which we should never dream of making.
We have no means of knowing what
promises were made them by the car
pet-baggers, when they swore them
into secret leagues, except what they
say. On their testimony they were
promised Gland and mules" to support
the Radical party, and they fully ex-
