L IM - plexed, but - it maybe stated briefly in this
T! 6 old reconstruction laws mako certain
pelrsens in the rebel States ineligible to office,
and declare the incapacity even of an elected
Legislator, until he has taken the test oath.
in April last, Congress passed an act autho
rizing the registered voters of the State of Vir
ginia to vote for Congressmen, for members
of, the Legislature,. and for a Constitu
tion. At the same time they Were to
vote upon the queetlob, whether the disfran
,
' ellisement of the ineligible persons alluded to
should be continued under the new Colman
.
'tion, W and whether, as a natural consequence,
Ike test 'oath should be abolished. A heavy
"vote 'was cast against the disfranchising clause,
arid it was rejected; but the Virginians, in
'their eagerness to honor their rebel friends, at
the, same election chose 'for 'Legislators large
'Numbers of men who were disqualified under
the old law, and whOse disabilities could not
be mmoved until Congress exercised its reserved
light of approving the new Constitution and •
permitting it to go into operation. The conse
quence of this was that when the Legislature
assembled,the Reconstruction acts being in force,
many Of the members elect were found to b
incapable of taking the test oath and of
bolding' Office. Here another difficulty arose.
The ' act of COngress required that the
Irtizirlia' Legislature should ratify the Fif
teenth Constitutional Amendment before
Congress would accept the State
Conatitution. As the Legislature could not ef
lect legal organization, ratification seemed to
be iMpossible, and so there was a deadlock, out
of which no .way was provided by law. At
this juncture Attorney-General Hoar came to
the relief with an opinion, that while the Le
gislature could not transact any of the ordi
"nary business of such a body, it might still
ratify the Amendment and elect United States
Senators. As the gate could not be opened,
Yr. Hoar proposed to jump the fence. It was
regarded by many persons as an extraordinary
theory that a Legislature which was admitted
to be incapable of voting a dollar or passing a
law, could yet commit such a grave act as as
senting to an alteration in the Constitution of
the United States; but the Virginians eagerly
adopted Mr. lloar's views, and proceeded to
ratify the Amendment.
The coa p‘iii...nt
are Shall we receive that ratification as a valid
one, and shall we accept the Virginia Consti
tution, remove the disabilities of the Legisla
:tors, ignore . the illegality of their posi
tion, .and forgive the faults that have
characterized . their management of this
whole business? Under .other
circumstances there might be .but one answer
to these queries, and that would favor the in-
staff t admission of the State. But it seems to
us that the Virginians have slimed deliberately
and maliciously, and it will be proper to exer
cise;caution in disposing of the case. The act
of Congress authorizing the election in Vir
ginia clearly intended that loyal men should
be ehosen to e.arry 4sn the work of rewash uc
tion. If any Other result had•been desired, the
test oath would have been abolished as a pre
liminary measure. Several weeks before the
election, General Canby wrote ,to
the Chairman of the ' Walker Exec
utive Committee that the test oath
would be required of the members
of the Legislature to be elected; and it must
have been plainly evident to every man with a
particle of sense, that disqualified men could
: - not - be placed in office by the very same bal
lot that was cast for a constitution which pro
vided for the removal of their disabilities at
sonie future day. But with all this knowledge,
and this plain._ declaration before --their .eyes,
the Vireinians deliberately chose to honor con
spieuous rebels instead of loyal men. To this
criminal folly all the trouble is attributable.
The people can blame only themseOes that they
are deprived of admission to the Union.. Con
gress has not broken faith with them, for, in
stead of fulfilling the exact conditions of the
law, they have tried to dodge and evade it by
sharp practice. This dishonorable conduct
has created distrust in the minds of many
Republicans who sincerely wish to have Vir
ginia restored; and it is for this reason that
Congress hesitates to accept the shabby recon
struction of the State.
We ardently desire . the readmission of this
and all the other excluded States, but we be
lieve it to be the duty of Congress to proceed
slowly and carefully in the matter. It should
require some guarantee that admission of Vir
ginia will not he followed by any backward
legislation. New York has rescinded its ratifi
cation of the Fifteenth Amendment
without the shadow of an excuse for such
treachery; Virginia may pursue the same
counsei if she is admitted; and'claim, in Viiidi;
cation of her conduct, that her ratification was
Made by an incompetent Legislature. Then,
the State will be handed over body and soul
to the rebel Democracy ; as Tennessee was,
under very similar circumstances. The loyal
people of the State require that we should pre
serve them from such a fate as this, and their
safety and rights, and the general welfare of
the country, ought to have much more weight
with Congress than the sentimental appeals• for
fraternization and forgiveness, urged by Mr.
Greeley and philanthropists Al' his class'.
ME BONAPARTE HOMICIDE.
Nearly every great political convulsion iii
France has been, preceded by an astounding
crime In high life, which has created an excite
ment among the people that has at last taken a
political turn. Therefore some people seem to
think that the killing of the journalist, Victor
Noir, by the Emperor's first .cousin, Prince
Pierre Bonaparte, may be the °peeing seene'in
sereenevolntiorlary movement. It has produced
an excite:Ment,jiidging froin the brief reports
by telegraph, that pervades France and
only -paralleled in .resent times by the Tropman
murders. But., under, the tranquilizing effects
of the movements of the neW 011ivier Ministry,
we do not anticipate that tljis , excitement can
lead to any'serlous demonStratiOi'againtt the
imperial authority.
Pierre Bonaparte is'a son df the Einperor's
uncle, the late Lucien Bonaparte.. He is in
the' fifty-fifth, year, of Mir age, so that• his
actions cannot be attributed to the hot blood
;of. youth. He, and , his family have been at
tacked in a coarse and savage manner by,
Henri llochefort'sinew paper, the Marseillaise,
the author of the _article being one Pascal
O-rousset.' Re sent for the writer, with. the ex
pectation of settling the affair by a duel. M.
GrouSset 'sent to' him ' two' of his friends,
named FonVille and Victor Noir. . AccOrding
to the 'report of the Marseillaise, the ,
Prince' asked these men if they were
responsible, for the act of their principal, to
which Noir answered that they Were.- The
:Prince then struck Noir, and, drawing a re
volver, fused and killed him., He then fired at
FouVille, who , had also. drawn a revolver,
which failed to go off,but the Prince's shot only
made a Jude in Fouvilieli overcoat. Another
account, given by the Prince to M. Paul Cas
saignac, says . that Noir first struck the Prince,
who then drew his pistol. in self-defence and
fired the fatal shot...:He.altin
hftVing fired twice at •Foullik' f
from the room uninjured. These are the two
sides of the story, mid the Only essential differ
ence is as to whe struck the blow that led to
the firing.
Taking all things into consideration, we are
inclined to believe the story of Prince Pierre
Bonaparte, rather than that of the ilarseillaise.
Rochefoit and his crew of assistants• on that
paper are' a pack of hot-heated,- insolent mal
contents, who seek notoriety , liy,;nutkingogress
and insulting personal - , - attooi Mt, 'People of;
high position, and especially on such, as are
connected with „the imperial family. His two
representativeswent • to see the Prince armed
with revolvers. He, doubtless, knowing their
violent character, prodded himself with such a
weapon when they were announced; for it . is
not a common custom among gentlemen in
France to carry concealed weapons, and
Prince Pierre Bonaparte has never been noted
as a blood-thirsty man, who habitually wont
armed.
Rochefort is trying to snake capital out of
the killing of his assistant, and has brought the
subject before the Legislative Body. But we
do not anticipate that he will have any suc
cess. Ile certainly will not if the Emperor,
waiving the privilege of the Imperial family,
consents to have him tried before the ordinary
tribunals. If there is such a trial, fairly con
ducted, and if the accounts of the affair that
reach us are correct, we believe tbat the ver
dict will be that it was a case of what we call
" justifiable homicide," committed in self-de
fenee against a pair of insOlent Juftians, who
came to his house provided with deadly
weapons.
EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION.
Senator Hermsey's bill for the taxation of the
real estate in Philadelphia, now exemPt, does
not aptrear , to possess that element of practica
bility which should be necessary for its success.
,ebv. is a. very large amount of Teal estate' in
Philadelphia not taxed, the full taxable value of
which would probably fall little, if any, short
of forty-live millions of dollars. But a verf
superlicial examination of the character of this
untaxed property will suffice to ' shots; that it
either cannot or ought not to be taxed. A
large portion of it,—more than half,—consists
of public property, belonging to the United
States, the State of Pennsylvania, or the City,
none of which is available for the pur
pose of taxation. The next largest
amount of the exempt property con
sists of hospitals, asylums, libraries,
churches, colleges and charitable institutions.
This class of property .is at present valued at
about fifteen millions of dollars, audits exemp
tion from taxation is in precise accord tvitErthel
general enlightened policy of . Pennsylvania,
which recognizes benevolence, education a,hd
religion as among the central pillars of the
State, to be sustained and strengthened by
every proper encouragement,—for the sake of
their general and important benefits to society.
To impose taxation upon this class of property
would not only be au extremely — unpopular
measure, but would serve to cripple the
ability; of these institutions to confer the bene
fits upon society for which their agency is now
so valuable.
The only remaining exempt property in,
Philadelphia comprises cemeteries, private and
public, valued at about $1,200,000 ;. lire-engine
houses, $430,000 ; and certain railroad and
canal properties, $250,000. The exemption
upon this last item is apparently based upon
some special legal point, as there is no general
principle which seems to give to this class' of.
property any particular' privilege. The pro
perty of the Fire Department is exempt, but
as the days of that peculiarly Philadelphia in
stitution are numbered, there would be no ad
vantage in taxing it as fire property. Of course,
should any of these buildings be held as, pri
vate property, after the establishment of the
Paid Fire Department,they will become taxable.
In the item of cemeteries there appears
to have been no discrimination mad between
those whose character is purely religious and
charitable, and those which are purely secular
and speculative. There seems to be no
lust cause why a public cemetery conducted
simply upon business principles, for the private
and pecuniary interests of its stockholders,
sho.ild not be taxed the game as any other
business establishment.
The great array of untaxed property, Upon
which Senator Henzsey's bill based, thus
dwindles away to a sum so insignificant as
to be of very small significance. It may be well
to revise the list of exempt Property, thorotighly,
and to impose the tax in any special instances
which have been improperly exempted ; but,
beyond this, we cannot see that anything but
injustice and injury, would result from the .
passage of the proposed bill.
' The Academy of Natural Sciences, in " its
annual report, mentions the fact that 95, - 150
persons visited the museum during the last
year, and that they contributed, m the aggre
gate, the large sum offifteen dollars and two
cents to the building fund ! At this late, the
erection of a new building, so Much needed for
this great scientific institution, will be com

to impose a small admission fee, say of Lye

DAnTEN CANAL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Prof. J. E. N ourse,
U. S. Navy, has prepared and, published
a,very interesting pamphlet concerning the
:Maritime Canal of the Isthmus of Suez,,com
piled from authentic sources of , French, Eng
lish and German documents, and compar
ing its relations 'and results with
.the proposed ship canal across
the Isthmus of Darien.. The chief ohject of
the pamphlet is to show the still more. benefi
cial results for commerce and navigation
through the Darien canal. In illtudra
tion of this,
tables of the saving of
distance by the Darien route, and the
influence of trade-winds and currents .of
the Pacific Ocean in favor of sailing vessels,
are given. These tables, accoinnanied by eta
tudies showing ' the trade of England and
France to the United States which would piss
trawl:lkb the,canal at the present time, if corn-
pleted;_were prepared by the Statistical of the Treasury Department, and are
quite itnportant.
'A 'Very Interesting and unpublished letter
to Prof. Nourse from M. Leeseps, ,the Chief
Engineer and founder of the Suez Canal,
ppears in relation to the Darien Canal. Mr.
LeSkielpet says: "Von cannot doubt the interest
which I have in every enterprise .of the
nations - and the progress of navigation. I
have been following with deep
interest everything which has been
written upon the Isthmus of Pa
nama, and have read with the utmost at
tention the report of Rear Adtuiral , Davui on
Interoceaale Canals and Railroads, commu
nicated by the Secretary of the Navy to
the United States *Senate in 1867."
Mr. William Arnaud, President of the
Executive Council of Nova Scotia. made an
argument before the Committee of Ways and
Means today in favor of the repeal or reduc
tion of the duty on bituminous coal.
Last Rlgtag's Hesston to Ike Stage Restate.
11saniseeno, Jan. 12.—The adjournment of
the Senate, about midnight last night, was
marked with much excitement. After nearly
eight hours of heated debate between the men
who wished to giro the contested seat in the
Senate to Scull, the Republican, and those
wha, thought that Findlay, Democrat, was
entitled to it, the debate suddenly terminated
by cries for a vote.
When it was taken, all the Republicans, ex
cept BiWngfelt, of Lancaster, and Lowry, of
Erie, voted for Scull. These two gentlemen
stated that they conscientiously believed that
the papers; presented by the Democratic com
petitor made out a prima feels case in his favor,
and they accordingly toted with the Demo
crats. The restdt was i 4 tie vote of 15 to 15,
and of course the resolution favoring the ad
nil4.-sion of Seidl was. lost.
Instantly after this decision, Findlay, the
competitor, stepped in front of the Speaker's
desk, and was announced by Senator Wallace
as waiting to take the oath. The Speaker
asked Wallace whether he made a motion to
that effect.
Mr. Wallace replied that no motion was ne
cessary, because a new Senator against whom
there was nopresent contest had simply pre
sented himself to be qualified, as was his
right.
The Speaker thou, without having in any
way recognized Mr. Findlay, remarked that
there was nothing before the Senate, and pro
ceeeded to prove, by calling . for the reading
of the journal, that the evening session, front
half-past seven o'clock to the present time,
had been called for the special purpose of con
sidering a certain resolution, This having
been done, the se.ssion was exhausted, and
there was no further business before the Sen
ate.
As considerable embarrassment ,eettieil to
folio w the announcement of the Speaker, Mr.
Graham, of Allegheny, solved the matter by a
motion to adjourn. On this motion, Mr. Bil
lingfelt, who bad previously voted with the
Democrats, voted with his old Republican
friends, and his vote carried the motion to
id
journ,by one Majority. .

Request for the Resignation of General
Ewing.
ispechl Despatch to the Phila. Evening Da
Wssmt.,Anro.N. January 12.—The Sherman
family have come to the relief of Gen. Hugh
Ewing, who has been asked to resign the
ministership to the Netherlands by Pre.sident
Grant for reasons that have not become
public. Gen. Ewing is a brother of Mrs. Gone
ral Sherman, and it is not to be supposed that
he will go out of office without a vigorous
tight first being made to retain him in his pre
sent position. Mrs. Sherman made an earnest
appeal to, President Grant. yesterday, to al
low her brother to remain at the Hague until
next spring, when be would resign volnuta
rily; but, strange as it may appear, the Presi
dent, in a good-humored manner, told Mrs.
Sherman that be could lot withdraw or recall
the request for Geu. Erring's resignation, al
though it would afford him much
. pleasure
personally - to do so. It is not at all =probe
tde that General Sherman, with the aid of his
brother, the Senator, may bring sufficient in
fluence to bear upon the President to induce
him not to relieve Gen. Ewing at the present
time,
Charges Against reinter Clapp.
vitscial Despatch to tho ruila t ErMini DuiWig.)
WAslinstuTON, Jan.l2.
Senatok Fenton i s a
geed deal exercised at the charges which Gen.
egley brings against Congressional Printer
Clapp, for the alleged inismaaaagement of his
bureau. it is asserted against Mr. Clapp that
--
he has ittetugtirated h effect "reign at terror
among the emploves in his office, and that
among over seven hundred persons atwork in
tbo panting office, not twenty can be found
who sustain the Superintendent in the course
he has pursued. Senator Fenton is Mr. Clapp'S
chief backer in the Senate, and in fact it, is to
him that the latter is indebted for the position
he now holds. The charges made are of such
a seriouS nature that it will be impossible to
remain silent under them and hold his posi
tion long. The Joint Committee on Printing
will probably make a thorough investigation,
and report at an early day concerning the at
legations made.

indications of Ina eased activity this morning, which
may, however, prove only a temporary spasm, which
will djaappeer before the close of brisinees to-day. It is
unite possible that the trouble brewing in the New

symptoms of stringency here And a eon

t3xNw~i .— fir Vonkling presented the reso

drivring
,the ratification of that State
Of the Fifteenth Amendment.' He
said he thus discharged a distasteful duty, and
regretted that a record so ill-advised and has
tily Made should have, come from the State of
New York.. At the proper time he would
show lion , little such a proceeding deserved
the consideration of the Senate.
Petitions were presented for a line of first

Mr. Sumner introduced a bill to authorize
the reninding and consolidation of the
national' debt; to extend banking facilities,
and to establish specie payments. He said
that while it. embodied his forrner pro
position of substituting bank-notes for
freenbacks, the , bill also provides
orr' the refnnding and eonsolidation of the
national debt in such a way as to make it easy
to beat while; bringing the existing currency
to' aver with coin. 'The preservatiOn of the
national credit and the reduction of existing ,
taxation were most essential at this time—the
latter involving two things` First, the
reduction of the present annual interest on
the national debt,
and secondly, the spread of
the national debt over succeeding generations.
Posterity would easily bear this responsibility,
and as a ,matter of justice should be com
pelled to shoulder it.. By economy of
taxation now, our business interests
would be relieved. The bill contemplated
the prOmpt extinguishment of the five-twen
ties of 1862;, and uporiatertain period of notice
—say six months—so that distant holders in
Europe may be advised, the interest on the
five4wenties of 1862 shall cease and the
bonds be forthwith redeemed in coin.

and said that the new constitution of 'Virginia
had received a more nearly unanimous vote of
the people than the Constitution of any other

,the vote being 210,000
for and 9,000 against, it. As to the test
oath,, he coincided in the opinion of the
Attorney-Ceneral, that it c ould not be
exacted from the members- of the Vir
ginia Legislature, for the new Constitution
provided what oath should be required,which
was an oath to observe and obey the Constitu
tion of the United States and the Constitu

oath bad not been exacted from the members
of the Legislature of any other reconstructed
State, except in the ease of Georgia, where it
was'required by the recent act of Congress.
