Genl Candy on the Test Oath-A Letter
from Him to the New York "Times''

from Him to the New York Times"
New York, July l2.-The Times publishes
the following letter from Major General E. r.
S. Candy:
HEAD Q'RS. FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT,
STATE OF VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Va July 9th, 1869.
To the Editor Of the New York Times
[ think that in your article Of yesterday
morning on the 'Test-Oath in Virginia, you
have overlooked the material point that the
constitution proposed for that State has not
been approved by Congress, and that the de-
cisions of General Grant which are cited by
you were given after the approval of the con-
stitutions to which they referred, or related in
every instance to conditions which could not
exist until after that approval had been OBJ
tanned. Upon this point there can, | think,
be no difference of opinion, and the decision
made now is precisely the same that l made
more than year ago, and is entirely consistent
with every decision of General Grant that [
have ever seen. | have heretofore, in two dis
tricts-the second and fifih-recomrne rded that
Congress should be asked to dispense with, or
modify, the test-oath, and in one of them
mainly in order to avoid the difficulties that ex-
ist now suspended the meeting Of legisa-
had been elected had been approved by Con-
gfess [ would take the same action 10 this
case if Congress had not directed the assem-
bling Of the Virginia Legislature at a definite
time. That being the case, It must IN my
Judgment assemble under the conditions now
and not those Wn!ch may hereafter be, imposed
by law
Questions of policy may properly shape leg
islative action. but they do not work the repeal
of existing laws or authorize district comman-
ders to annul them. Under constitutional and
legis ative provision. the members Of the sew
eral State Legislatures and all executive officers
of the several States must, before they proceed
to execute the duties of their respective Offices
take the prescribed oath or affirmation Mem
bers of conventions we're not required by the
laws of the United States to take any such oath
or affirmation The oaths or afirmations now
prescribed are those of July g 1862, and July
IL, 1863 and those prescribed by the State
constitutions which have been approved by
Congress- either directly or by the admission of
the States.
A district commander cannot dispense with
the oaths prescribed by the laws Of July 2,
1862, and July IL, 1868. as they apply to par
ticular cases, and substitute for them the oath
by any proposed constitution, the validity of
which is contingent upon future action, with
out assuming a power which Congress has ex-
pressly reserved to itself
If YOU will take the trouble to refer to the
enclosed General Orders you will see how little
Justification there is for the charge that the de-
cision now complained of is an after thought.
Very respectfully, sir,
Your obedient servant,
Ed r. S. CANDY,
Brevet Major-General

fIoteE litDe tue Legislature Will
consider the subj .ct of amending the Stare Con-
>titution just adopted. He says while the new
Constitution, so far as the executive depart
ment is concerned is the best the State has
ever had, in many respects it is unsuited for
Virginia and must at an early day be amended.
In speaking OF the few Radical members elect
t, the Legislatu e. Governor Walker said they
would be mere cyphers in the body. incapable
of doing any harm. La reply to the inquiry,
when his Inauguration would take place. he an
swered that 1t was a question yet to be settled.
His own opini,n is that he is entitled under the
Constitution to be installed at once into Office
and such is the leg gal advice ne had On the subject
but General Cauby remarked a few days since
that the inauguration could not take place un-
til after the State was admitted. The law re-
quires the Legislature to assemble in few
weeks, but the Senate cannot organize without
the Lieutenant Governor. Nor can the Fif
teenth amendment be adopted. which is a con
dition precedent to the admis,i N of the State,
until after the Governor has been inaugurated
The Governor thinks that If the election had
been postponed two weeks longer, his majority
would have been $4,000. as the colored popula-
ton Were rapidly, breaking with the Radicals,
and joining the Conservative ranks.

The True Test.

L stopped on my way down stairs last even
ing to speak with Jennie Barnes, who had j, st
gone to bed in her coy little room | bent over
To kiss her.
''.lennle,' said I, ''do you love Jesus?"
'Oh, yes, she answered.
Are you sure? How do you know p
why, OF C ,urSe know, said she. Don't
| feel it all over in>ide?'
''Thats good, thought T. Il wish every
one had that same conScioasaess of love; here
wouldn't be so many fearful trembling Chris
tianS
DO you think that Jesus knows that you
love him, Jennie p
Why, OF course she answered again
D'n He know everything? Don't He look
right down into my hear, AM see it tere?''
We'll, Jennie, L continued. how shall
know 1t? | can look into your heart?'
JENNIE sprang Instantly to her feet.
On the wall at the side of her bed. hung a
large picture sheet, containing twelve scene- in
the llfc or Christ, and number of short texts.
His own dear words, were printed here and
there around the gaily-cnlured border Putting
her tiny hnger on one of these, without speak
ing, she turned around aud looked triumphant
y up into my face | put up the gas and read
the words-"Jye loce me, keep nay contn,and-
neats
[ kissed my little friend. and helped her a.
gain under the warm bed Clothes saying as I
did so. That Is the very best answer any one
could have given.
And is it not sentence which we should all
do we'll to remember? Oh, how mary of us
profess to love Jesus, and yet bear no fruit
give no evidence OF it IN our daily lives. Jesus
says, Love one another but We aver we can
not love this or that one Jesus says, Forgive
your enemies, but We say We have been too
deeply Injured, and cannot forgive. Jesus says,
Give to him that a>keth; We think we have
no more than We want ourselves. Jesus says.
"Whatsoever We would that men should do un-
to you, do We even SO to them we say,
That rule that cannot always be carried
out, circumstances alter eases. jesus says.
Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and
soul and mind and strength - we says Earth
ly friends are nearer to US than God, and must
of necessity be dearer." Je US says, Take no
thought fer the morrow we go moping and
trembling along, fearful of what may happen.
Jesus says, Ask and it shall be given you ~
We says, How do we know2 and What's
the use of asking? Dies God not know before
hand all our wants, and if he sees fl, will he
not supply thenl?" So the plain commands of
jesus are disregarded or perverted Is this
hDUe
Let US not thus dishonor our blessed Saviour
Let u~ love him truly, c1n cinu-ly with love
that shall constrain us to all molly obedience to
his commands.
