The decision of the test-oath question
by Attorney General Hoar will, we
trust, put an end to an effort that at
one time threatened to be dangerous.
For the purpose of ratifying the XVIII
Amendment he holds that the oath is
not necessary. The Legislature will
therefore organize-not under such a
Pride Purge as some hot-heads have
been seeking-but as elected. when
the return Of Virginia to her position as
a State in the Union becomes complete
by the Congressional approval of such
ratification, the Legislature again, with
out any test-oath requirements, can
proceed to business. The decision is
not without side that may seem to
excuse if not to sanction Gen. Canby's
course, but it effectually estops his
proposed action.-N. Y. Tribune.
