t4 RICHMOND Jan. Q, 1870.
The question OF the admission OF the State Is still
tho all-aosorDinx topic OF discussion. though many
beginning to realize the fact tN9t additional ex
penditures for u Legislature, elections for every
Official in the state and political turbulence viii be
Of its first results; but still the cry ls "Let the
state in, for these things must come sooner or
latern Military rule supplies legislation, does away
with elections and causes cessation OF poitical
feeling and strife that to say the least ia ABSOLUTELY
essential to thorough reconstruction; and this
perhaps accounts for the advanced atage Virginia
has reached, besides the more Southern States
already safe within the bulwarks Of the Union.
Opinion here seems divided as to the requirements
ON which the State shall be admitted. Radicals OF
the most extreme type demand the exaction Of the
test oath from the Legislature which would unseaL
o majority Of the conservative memoirs, VINO would
then be replaced by the defeated radical candidates
receiving the next highest number OF votes. BY
this the entire control OF tho state would be given
TO tue minority OF carpet-bag politicians with the
election Of the entire judiciary Of the StaSea fea-
ture OF the gravest interest the people at large.
On the other hand, the prevailing sentiment among
republicans Ii the speady admission OF the state with
