TIE IRON CLAD OATH.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says: eve are infor-
med from Richmond that several prom
inent members of the Walker party call
ed upon General Candy Friday morning
to get his opinion whether members
elected to the Legislature would he re-
quired to take the iron clad oath or not.
His reply was that under the provisions
of the reconstruction acts he should re-
quire that oath Of all members elected
before taking their seats. Such was the
course he adopted in the Carolnas, aud
he would adhere to it in Virginia. This
decision of the commanding General has
caused much excitement, and mad de-
pressing effect, as most of the candidates
of the conservatives are gentlemen who
cannot take that oath. New nominations
will have to be made, but it will be diff
ficult to find white men, and particular
y natives, who will be able to qualify"
1t is quite likely that there may be
some mistake about this matter or it
may be a dodge in the interest Of Wells
to unsettle and exasperate the public
mind. The oath of qualification for
members Of the Legislature, prescribed
in the constitution may be found in ar
ticle iii, sec. 7, which clause has been
submitted separately to the popular vote.
If it is rejected, we do not see where
General Candy finds authority in the
reconstruction acts to substitute another
test, the iron clad oath, in its stead, If
he has that power, apd the test oath is
retained in the constitution by the vote
Of the people, he can even then superadd
the iron clad oath, and thus pile on the
agony mountains high. We cannot think
that General Grant contemplated any,
thing like this when he issued his proc
lamation. The news of this correspond
ent needs confirmation.

CONVERSION TO ROME.

A correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette. writes from Rome: "Several
English clergymen are here for the pur-
pose OF obtaining recognition of their
Anglican ordination, wien, they say,
they will be ready, with a number OF
their brethren, to unite themselves to
the Church of Rome. The Pope, how
ever, refuses their request, and has
ordered some theologians to draw up a
paper containing tho reasons Of the non
possumus; at the same time he urges the
applicants either to be content with
position of Catholic laymen, or receive
ordination in the Roman Church. The
clergymen have expressed their deter
mination to attend the council.

THE FIFTEETH AMENDMENT


The Florida ratification makes, we
believe, the twenty-fifth State that has
ratified the Fifteenth amendment of the
constitution, providing for impartial suf-
trage to male citizens above the age of
twenty-one years, throughout the United
States, without distinction of race or
color. The whole number of States at
present is thirty-seven. The approval
by the legislatures of three-fourths of
thlrty-seven is necessary to fix this
amendment as part of "the supreme law
of the land" Twenty eight States,
therefore, being necessary, three moro
will yet be needed to meet the requisi-
ton. Under the last reconstruction law
(slgned by President Grant, Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, as condition
precedent to restoration to Congress, are
required to ratify this amendment.
Rhode Island and Vermont will ratify
it. In short, with the Resembling of
Congress in December, we may expect
impartial suffrage to be proclaimed as
fixed in the supreme law, with the power
to Congress to enforce it and 50, after
this year, the negro vote in all the
States, North as well as South, will have
to be taken into the estimates of the
politicians. %

BEAR THEM IN MIND.

There are some few white men in this
who refuse to register. They are not
willing to help redeem Virginia. Bear
them in mind Let them remember,
should Wells and his cohorts succeed in
gaining control of Virginia, that they
are in some sense responsible for it. Let
those who refuse to register be prepared
to endure the reproaches of their fellow
citizens should the Radical party succeed
through their neglect. Let those who
refuse to register be prepared, on the
other hand, should the Conservatives
succeed, to renounce all part or claim to
any participation in the congratnlation
and joy with which those who have
done the work will celebrate their VIC
tory. Fall into line Do not lay be-
hind Fight with those whose interests
are yours, and stand or fall with them

My dear Day Book
The gold case has at last come to an
end, of course very satisfactorily to the
lucky party. About the commencement
OF the war, A. S. Abel, proprietor of
the Baltimore Sun, deposited in the
Chesapeake Bank the sum of $3, 900 in
gold After the termination of hostilities
he endeavored to draw from the bank
this deposit, but was informed that he
weuld be paid in currency whereupon
he proceeded to litigation. The suit was
decided on yesterday, after spirited
contest, the Hon. Reyerdy johnson with
many other able lawyers having appear
ed for the Plaintiff, while those appear
ing for the defendant were equally as
great The jury returned sea- ed YER
diet on yesterday in favor of the plain
tiff for $4,000 IS, being the full amount
claimed, under tho recent decisions of
the court of appeals and the US. court.
This verdict in gold is equivalent to
$5,375 So in currency at the quoted
rates of gold on Wednesday of 374 per
cent. premium. There was manifest
alton of satisfaction among the specta-
tors throughout the room. 1t is thought
that the result of this suit will be the
means Of settling many suits of SINH
lar kind now pending in different por-
tons OF the country.
This city has Interpolation of having
produced same of as fine actors and ac-
tresses as have ever trod the American
stage two of them particularly have
achieved the most triumphant success in
the West. This is affirmed by the enco-
miastlc accounts which we read daily in
the papers of that section. These two
artistes are the Chapman sisters, who,
having been on the stage but two years,
have won place in the hearts of all
which is enjoyed by comparatively few
Miss Blanche, the eldest, acts with such
remarkable grace and ease as to be an
acknowledged rival Of Lydia Thompson.
Miss Ella is very petite, is vivacious, has
a prepossessing face, is scarcely sixteen,
but possessing an experience that would
reflect credit upon those of more mature
years. These young ladies made their
debut on the Holiday Street stage, and
are proteges of whom Mr.. j. II. Ford
the able manager, has just cause to be
proud; by their ladylike demeanor they
have proved themselves an adornment
to every circle of society.
Yours truly, NORFOLK.
