The Effect OF Test Ouths.

We notice the decease, on Wednesday
last, of DR.. John H. Gibbon in Baltimore.
This gentleman was Philadelphian by
birth and family connections, and his career
very aptly illustrates political feature of
the times. DR.. Gibbon was physician,
and specially distinguished in general
science. When the United States Govern
mennt, more than thirty years ago, estab-
llshed branch mint at Charlotte, North
Carolina, he was appointed to start and
conduct its operations. Thus he came to
make his home at the South The war
found him there. The Confederate Govern
ment, like our own, deeming a printing
press n s"llter instrument than a mint for
manufacturing money" did not disturb
the establishment at Charlotte At the
close of the war, it was still in the care of
DR.. Gibbon, who had the pleasure of mott
Tying our Government that its buildings,
machinery and appliances were safe and in
good condition. From his eminent fitness,
as we'll as from these circumstances of fidel-
lty to his trust, he was promptly re-nppointed
to his former position. Here, with his old
pursuits open to him; with the emoluments,
more than ever before, needed in the wreck
of Southern fortunes, the nice sense of
honor of Dr. Gibbon found an insuperable
obstacle. He refused to take the "iron-
clad oath" Many of his friends could not
see the ground of his scruples His age, his
Northern connection, his known sentiments
as Union man, had withdrawn him from
any military or political connection with
the rebellion. But the vague and compre.
henslve terms of the oath declare that the
afiant has never given ''aid or comfort to
the enemies of the Constitution of the
United States" DIR. Gibbon had passed
his whole life in doing kindly Offices to his
tellow-men, without regard to their politi-
cal opinions. He would not take this oath,
and he put from him the Office that would
have provided congenial employment for
his declining years. AS means of sup
port, he put in shape some original views,
the result of long archaeological studies of
the remains of extinct races on the Ameri-
can continent, and he started to give lee
lures on the subject in the principal cities.
In the first he visited, Baltimore, death
overlook him. So died, in the seventy fifth
year OF his age, man strictly concientious
and honorable, excluded from n sphere
OF usefulness by partizan test oath. 1t
is such men who are commonly excluded
by IT., The really dangerous man is not
troubled with such scruples. We relate
these facts Of DIR. Gibbons case for the
consideration of thoughtful men, who are
weighing the use and effect of the political
prescriptions which disgrace our laws and
the civilization of the age in which we live.
DIR. Gibbon, in early life, married Miss
Lardner, of Philadelphia County, who sur.
wives him. One of their children is Major
General John Gibbon, U. s. A., who was
highly distinguished at Gettysburg and
many other Cattles, and who is considered
one of tho most accomplished officers in our
military service Philadelphia Age.
