The Repeal of the Test.Oath q law
The Message of the President.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The following is
the Presidents message to Congress to-day
announcing that the bill repeating the test
oath has become a law: So
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tiyeS:
/ have this day transmitted to the Senate
the announcement that Senate bill No. 218,
Gan act prescribing an oath of Office to be
taken by persons who participated in the
late rebellion, but who are not disqualified
from holding office by the 18th amendment
to the Constitution Of the United States"
has become law, in the manner prescribed
by the Constitution, without the signature
Of the President.
If this were a bill repeating the test-oath
required of persons appointed or elected
to offices Of profit or honor, 1t would meet
my approval. The effect of the law, how
ever, is to relieve from taking prescribed
oath all those persons whom IL was intend
ed to exclude from such Offices, and to re-
uuire it from all others. By this law the sol
dier who fought and bled for his country is
to swear his loyalty, while the general who
led hosts to overthrow the Government is
admitted without it. I cannot affix my
name to law which discriminates against
the upholders of the Government. I be-
lieve, however, that it is not wise to eX-
clude those by an oath of Office who are not
excluded by the Constitution, and who are
the choice of loyal voters. But whilst re.
lievng them from an oath, recommend
the release also of those to whom the oath
has no application. o. S. GRANT.
