bly,, when better informed he will not
find it necessary to do so. There will
therefore, probably, be no change among
candidates in the State already nomina-
ted without reference to the iron clad
oath.
General Candy is credited with hav-
ing said that as he had required the iron
clad oath of members of the Legisla-
ture in both the Carolinas, he should
pursue the same course here. When the
Constitutions of those States were sub
mitted the circumstances were entirely
different. No opportunity for modi6ca-
ton was given to their people, and we
do not know that the 14th amendment
was then part of the Constitution of
the United States. Be this, however,
as it may, Congress passed a special bill
In the case of Virginia, relaxing the
rigor of the former requirements, and
giving to her people discretion as to
this very subject of a test oath-obvi-
ously not meaning, if the people rejected
one to subject them to another more I'M
palatable still. We have no idea that
General Grant, who has dealt fairly and
equitably with us heretofore, would
permit the imposition of such test,
however it might accord with General
Canby's views to impose it.

Rss- Congress and Gen. Grant both
said, submit the test oath to q separate
vote, land if the people vote that it remain
in the Constitution then so be it, but if
they vote that it be stricken out, it
shall not be part of the organic or
constitutional law. Congress and Gen.
Grant have the ruling OF this whole
thing, and any decision Gen. Candy
may make contrary to their instructions,
will be wiped out as sure as day. But
Gen. Candy has decided nothing by
what he has said, virtually, but that if
the test-oath was not voted out he would
have to apply it. This we all know,
unless the powers that govern him rule
otherwise. Therefore we say let us 90
on and elect such men as will carry out
the reconstruction laws in good faith,
whether they be natives or new corners
avoiding the "obdurates," and all will
be well, if we vote out the disfranchise-
ment, and test-oath. and ratify the con-
stitution.

THE NOMINATING CONVENTION

THE NOMINATING CONVENTION.
On Monday evening the delegates APP
pointed by the different wards of the
city to nominate candidates for the
Legislature, convened at the City Hall,
and were met by delegates from Princess
Anne county, which is joined to Nor
folk to make the Senatorial district.
Only one nomination was made-that
of Col. Walter Tay lor for Senator, who
was acceptable to the delegates from the
county. This places him before the
people as the choice of both the city and
county, and as such he is entitled TO the
support of all the friends of Walker
and the Constitution, from his fine abii-
tiles, sound practical sense as man of
business, and thorough advocate of
the States reconstruction. We can have
no cause to doubt that the interests of
the district will be perfectly safe in his
hands; and the action of the Conven-
ton, therefore, we trust will be fully
sustained by the votes of the people
The question of the eligibility Of Col.
Taylor was discussed by the Convention,
which is understood to have decided in
his favor. The power of Gen. Candy to
supcradd the test of the iron clad oath
for the qualification of members of the
Legislature Was denied, and in our arti.
Gle of Monday we declared that we were
unable to discover anything in the re-
construction laws from which it could
be derived. But we also expressed the
opinion that if the expurgated Consti-
tuition was adopted no test oath could
be required. A careful perusal of the
proposed Constitution and the recon-
struction acts of Congress will disclose
that the purpose both of Congress and
the Convention was to make the qualifi-
cations of candidate for Office the same
as those of voter, and when, therefore
the registration officers decided that a
man was voter, they al the same time
decided that he was eligible to office !;
therefore if the test oath is stricken out
from the Constitution under which the
Legislature meets, an oath of office will
qualify the members to discharge heir
duties.
This subject of the iron-clad oath is
believed to have been settled in the case
of Georgia. On the I'd Of March, 1868,
more than three months before Georgia
was admitted into the Union, General
Grant himself telegraphed to- General
Meade as follows;
" The officers elected under the new
Constitution of Georgia are not officers
of the provisional government referred
to in the reconstruction acts, nor are
they officers elected under any so-called
State authority, and are not, therefore,
required to take the oath prescribed in
section 9, act of July 10, 1867. The
eligibility to hold Office must BIO deter
mined by the new Constitution and the
amendment to the United States Con-
stitution designated as Article XIV"
The Richmond State Journal the other
day made a mysterious allusion to a
correspondence with General Candy,
on the subject of members elected to
the Legislature taking the test-oath,"
evidently for the purpose of creating
sensation in our ranks just now, if it
could be done. The mischief contem-
plated failed. General Candy has issued
no order upon the subject, and proba-

A LAND LEAGUE.

AT a public speaking held at Zuni,
few days ago, we learn that Mr. w. Fl.
G. Ellis brought forward proposition,
which took like wild-fire among whites
and blacks, for the formation cf Land
Leagues all over the State This is
scheme, if adopted and properly carried
out, that will burst up every Carpet
bagger's League 10 the State, and insure
the negroes to vote with the native
white population for the solid and sub
stantiaI interests of both white aud
black and all classes in the State. By
the operations of this scheme the negroes
who join the Land League secure the
possession Of five acres Of land near the
farm of some land owner or farmer who
gives it. The negroes are to vote as the
land owner dictates, and to clear up
his five acres, put it in cultivation and
live upon it, and his services are to DO
secured to work upon the farm in pre-
ference, at the ordinary compensation.
This secures the negro home for him
self and family for all time, and teach
es him his political duties to his State
and his people, as by voting for the
principles and measures of the largely
interested landholder he votes to secure
his own interests in all measures of
State and national policy 1t proves a
rich boon to the negro, and a great con-
venienee to the planter, as it supports
laboring population in the immediate
vicinity of the latter, that he can al
ways rely upon to help work his crop.
AS we said before, the scheme took
like wild-fre at Zuni, some of the larger
land owners coming forward and giving
forty acres, others twenty, ten, five, &C.
The negroes expressed themselves high
ly gratified at the scheme, and enrolled
themselves to vote for Gilbert C. Walker
and the True Republican Ticket. .,..
We hope our contemporaries OF the
press throughout the State, who are in
favor of the Walker movement, will
take this matter up aud ventilate it to
their readers at once, in order that it
may be used at once in this election for
the defeat of Wells. The benefits of the
scheme to both classes admits of much
greater elucidation than a newspaper
paragraph can give, and it should be
taken up by our orators and stump
speakers all over the State. e..
