The TEST OATH REPEAL 1t is claimed that
the bill repeating the test-oath, which passed
the House on last Wednesday, is only applica-
BILE to persons hereafter elected or appointed to
office, and will not reach the case of DR.. Mil
Ter, Senator elect from Georgia, and that a
special act will have to be passed removing his
dlsaoilltles, as In the case of Shober, of North
Carolina, and several others. In regard to the
expected veto of the President of this bill, a
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says that Senator Morton SAYS that if he
were President it would not take him five min
utes to make up his mind on that question. and
that the bill passed the Senate in the first in
stance through misunderstanding. The wri-
ter adds that Gen. Butler is of the same opin-
Ion as Governor Morton with regard to the pro-
priety OF a Veto The text OF the bill is as fol-
lows:
That when any person who is not rendered
ineligible to office by the provisions of the four
teenth amendment to the constitution shall be
elected or appointed to any Office of honor or
trust under the government of the United
States, and shall not be able, on account of his
participation in the late rebellion, to take the
oath prescribed in the act of Congress approved
July 2, 1862, said person shall, in lieu Of said
oath, before entering upon the duties of said
office, take and subscribe the oath prescribed
In the act of Congress, entitled An act pre-
scrlblng an oath of Office TO be taken by per-
sons whose legal disabilities shall have been re-
moved, approved July IL, 1868. ~
