THE news from Englsnd this morn.
Ing Is that the House Of Lords has
agreed to withdraw from Its position on
tho Irish Church bill. The popular agl>

The Indignation excited against the

uEN. CANBY AND THR TEST OATH.
General Canby's position, regarding
the test oath Ia Virginia Ia not gener
ally understood, but is easily explain
ed. He insists that the reconstruction
act, requiring all provisional officers In
the South to take the test oath, is an.
plicAble 10 the members OF the LeRis.
iature; and other State officers OF Vlr.
ginla are made provisional officers BY 4
law passed at the last session OF Con-
gress, which provided that the then ex.
listing. and governments which should
succeed them, shall be treated AZ Pro.
visional Governments until thew are
recognized otherwise by Congress.
President Grant, previous 10 his cleo.
tlon, and 10 the passage ofthe law Last
mentioned, while acting US General Of
the army, decided that mem bers Of
State Legislature were not provisional
officers In the meaning OF the earller
reconstruction acts, but that decision
does net extend to the present cond!.
ton OF affairs, which, OF course, are
only to be controlled under the last
law, Tho most eminent lawyers of
Virginia sustain General CAuOy's posl.
tion In the premises, and II is probable
that he will also bs sustained BY At.
torney General HOar.
DOUBT OF Tue ABILITY OF THE LE0Is.
LATURRTo QUALIFY.
1t Is therefore certain that Of the
Legislature Of that State, when called
together. only bare quorum, and
perhaps not that. will be able to quail.
~. For nearly, II not quite one half OF
the members are unable 10 take the
test oath.
General Candy has sent q circular to
them for the purpose Of obtaining In
formation on this subject, for the bene>
ht OF the administration, which will
undoubtedly exert q great Influence on
It's action as 10 the time when the LsgIs.
lAture shall be convened.
A MIXED QUESTION.
Pending the receipt OF this lnforma.
ton, Attorney General Hoar may d..
eide against General Canby's construc-
tIon OF the law, In which case the ne.
cessary steps for Its immediate orgaul.
Zallon WILL be taken without further
delay. II, on the contrary, General
Candy Is sustained. and q majority Of
the members are found to be dlsquall.
6ed, either 4 new election will be or.
dered, or the matter will be held In
allegiance until Congress decides upon
It. 1t Is possible. however, that the
majority will bO found to be able TO
take the oath, under which circum.
stances no objection can be made TO the
speedy assembling OF the Legislature;
but Il 10 understood that In such q case
the Conservative members would ab.
sent themselves TO prevent an orgRnl
zation, thereby prayentIng the election
OF 4 Radical United States Senator.
Taken all In all, the prosPeota for the
immediate future In the Old Dominion
are decidedly muddlei.

PARTIES IN VIRGINIA

The Richmond Wing thinks that the
nomenclature Of parties leads to very
mistaken ideas in reference to the South.
There, all who are not Republicans are
Democrats. During the war no party
organizati ons were kept up. At its close
if we were anything in party respects,
we were wings and democrats. But in
fact there was little disposition to revive
old parties. Both the old parties, with
very few exceptions, coalesced under the
head of conservatives, and so stand, the
majority of the coalition being wings and
not democrats for the division of the
State carried away the old democratic
majority. 1t is therefore misapprehen-
sion of facts, and one that leads to mis-
chievous consequences to speak of the
conservatives of Virginia as democrats.
They are not. A majority OF them are
wings, were Bell and Everett Union
men, were never democrats, and never
lkalS to be, unless driven to it as the
only defense from persecution by the
patty in power. We hope our Northern
contemporaries will make note of this.

REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.

ST. Louis, August 10-An enthu
siastic meeting of citizens generally wa
held tonight in the city Council cham
Der to consider and take action upon
the question of removing the National
Capital to the Mississippi Valley.
Some of the most prominent citizens
of St. Louis were present. Speeches
were made and resolutions passed, one
of which was as follows:
Resolved, That this meeting iavors
the calling OF national convention at
St. Louis for the purpose of mutual
consideration of the subject of the reno

A committee of five was appointed, to

proper arrangements for holding con-
venton.

ABOUT COAL.

The New York journal of Commerce
advises the public not to lay in their
winter coal at present prices. We
do not know what is best to
be done in the premlses-but certain
it is that there is everywhere a great
outcry at the rates which now prevail,
and at the proceedings which have led
to the condition of the fuel market. In
the enc, the Spectators and monop olists
will be found to have overshot the
mark--and the striker will be struck
The Baltimore Gazette has an article
on the subject, and after expressing its
apprehension that the price of coal will
be even higher than it it now is, says :;
Our citizens will perceive that the high
price of coal is owing to tripartite COM
bination working against them. The
miners are getting extraordinary high
wages, the coal operators are making
enormous pro6tS and the railroad com.
panies, stimulated by the example of

asa, The idea of condemning all that
water front from Stone Bridge to the
Port Warden's line, and filing it up
by the mud drawn up in cleaning out
our harbor, for grand park and bat
terv, has been before discussed in these
columns, and we do not know a better
thing that our enterprising "cty faith
ers" can take hold of now than to ap-
point committee from their bodies
with powers to Condemn this body of
land for that purpose and examine into
the titles of parties who may put for
ward claims to its ownership. Now
is the time the initiatory steps in this
business should be taken, as delay
might prove very detrimental to the
interests of the city Our harbor will
have to be cleaned out and deepened
shortly, and that process will afford a
vast amount of filing material, and
dumping it on these flats we are really
saving vast expense which will surely
come against our city some day or other.

STRENGTH OF IRON RAILS.


An English patent has lately been
granted for method of testing iron
rails for railroads, by subjecting them
to the pressure Of rolling mass, equal
to the maximum to which they are
liable in actual use. A circular track
of about so or 100 feet diameter is
madenp of the rails to the required
curve. In the centre of this circle it
placed vertical spindle, moved by
steam or water power, from which pass
a number OF arms, reaching over the
track over which they carry an annular
framework, 10 which number of
heavy rollers are placed. These rollers,
which weigh over 10000 pounds each,
are moved around the track with
velocity equal to that of railroad
train, which is kept up for suitable
length of time. The test can be modi-
fed in various ways, so as to lmpart to
the rails all the trials to which they
would be subjected in railroad, as a
sliding and humping, instead of an
evenly rolling one, etc. The number
of rollers is to be SO adjusted as to pro-
duce no injurious heating of the rails
by the velocity impaired.

Besy We learn that some of our City
Fathers" are in favor of putting the
"Stink Pool" right straight Through a
course of sprouts" by filling it up at
once and laying it offfer a public park.
while few others are rather disposed
to wait, say they, until our city bonds
get up to eighty cents. Now we would
remind these latter gentlemen that there
is no way under the sun to bring the
bonds up to that figure, and probably
one hundred cents on the dollar, quick
er than to fill up that nasty cess pool
right here in the heart of our city. Cap
italists are not fools generally, and when
hey see sinking hole, as they cannot
help seeing it from Main and two of our
other prominent streets, they will al
ways be shy of investing their money.
Let us give those we are seeking to in
duce to settle amongst US some show
for clean bill of health, otherwise we
will not get them. Few monied men
care to invest in what has the appear
ance to them of pest pools or charnel
houses.
