REPORT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL HoAR ON 70
80 LrTIcAL AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA. .t
---WAsHINdroN, Sept. 3-The War Depart
ment yesterday received from Attorney Gen
erai Hoar his opinion relative to the political
affairs in Virginia, and has transmitted the
same to Gen. Candy for his information and
guidance. 1t depends upon the latter to make
the full text public. The Attorney General
says that the Legislature must as prerequisite
submit the constitution and their action there
on to Congress for approval. In this the test
oath will not be required. If the constitution
and action of the legislature be approved the
Legislature then becomes the legislature of the
State Of Virginia, and the provisions of the
constitution fixing the qualifications of mem
beers of the legislature necessarily prevail. The
requirements of reconstruction acts being thus
suspended SO far as Virginia is concerned.
But before such approval by Congress, Vir-
GINA not being in all respects Stase of the
Union, the legislature as provisional body
cannot pass laws without its members taking
the test oath. The reconstruction acts require
the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution of the United States before
the State can be admitted to representation in
Congress. There is no question but this amend
medt will be ratified by an overwhelming m a.
