ERIDAY MORNING SEPT. 10, 1859.


The test-oath agony is, at last, over in
this State The opinion of Attorney Gen.
eral Hoar, published elsewhere in this issue,
gives final quietus to it. He decides that
the test-oath cannot be required Of the mem
bers elect to the Legislature, but that they
must be allowed to meet to carry out the
provision of the reconstruction acts-yiz
the ratification Of the Fifteenth Amendment.
This far they can proceed under the re-
construction acts, but further they cannot
go, as they are only Legislators, in the event
Congress approves the Constitution and ad-
mits the State.
To simply meet to ratify the Fifteenth
Amendment, is only carrying out the recon
struction acts, and does not require the mem
bers elect to subscribe to the test-oath, but
to attempt any legislation, until Congress
approves the constitution and admits the
State places them in the attitude of acting
under the provisional Government and would
require the test oath at their hands.
This is more than we expected and for
which we are thankful For our Legisla-
ture to meet is something, and in these days
of arbitrary rule we are exceedingly thank
full for small favors. 1t is a step to the res
toration Of Virginia to her rights. The
manner, the forced ratification of the XVIII
Amendment, we can never consider as just,
but as the majority in these days are for ex-
pediency, we can only demur and trust the
end, in this instance, may justify the means.

a VIRGINIA GoNGREssMAN INDUCES IN
ANOTHER F1sr1curF A correspondent of
the Petersburg Eapress writes as follows
from Chester station on the Richmond and
Petersburg railroad:
Our usually quiet little village was some
what excited this afternoon by pugilistic
encounter between your Congressman elect
and James W. Jackson, ESQ, both of YOUR
city. The particulars as near as can gather
them from an eye witness, are as follows:
While the mail train from Richmond was
stopping at this place for water, these two
gentlemen, who we're sitting on the same
seat in the cars, and who had been talking
very quietly together on politics, got very
excited, and Platt made an assertion which
jackson branded as lie. Plat then called
jackson liar, when jackson struck him
once or twice about the face, bringing the
blood from bis nose and breaking out one Of
his teeth. The fight was getting pretty
lively, when Mr.. R. w. Collier, of your
city, who was sitting near, parted them.
ANEcDoyH OF GENERAL LEE.-A letter in
the New York Journal Of Commerce, from
the White Sulphur Springs. relates the fol,
lowing incident:
Among the visitors I have met Robert e
Lee, who among the generals commanding
the Confederate armies during the late war il
.tdcate princeps, Dnobtrusive and retiring
in his demeanor, no one would suppose thai
he possessed any extraordinary ability. HI
seems especially anxious to heal the wounds
OF the war. Several ladies who were on &
visit here at one time this season from 8
Northern State appeared to be without atten
ton from their fellow boa.ders, Genera
Lee observed the fact, and desired some O
his lady friends to cultivate their acouaint
ance. When these excused themselves or
the ground that they did not know thci,
names, and were without introduction. thu
General approached several of these visitors
saying to each, Il am Mr.. Lee-may
ask your name % And when this was givel
he promptly presented them to his friends
who received them most cordially.
