MODIFICATION OF Till: TEST OATH RECOMMENDED,
ETC., ETC.
Tlie following important doctiment
lias boon in otu' office for two clays
awaiting insertion:
On Friday last, to the House of Representatives,
at "Washington, the President
transmitted communications from
tlio Secretary of the Treasury and the
PiictnioeW-ftmiPrnl. nrlrlrfissftd to him
by those officers, suggesting a modification
of the oath of office presented by
the act of Congress approved July 2,
] SG2. He fully concurs in their recommendations,
and as the subject pertains
to the efficient administration of
the revenue and postal laws in the
Southern States, he earnestly commends
it to the early consideration of
Congress.
Tho letter of the Secretary of the
Treasury contains tho names of collectors
ef internal revenue, assessors, assistant
assessors, collectors, and surveyors
of customs; &c., appointed since
the overthrow of the rebellion, in the
Southern States, who have not been
able to take literally the oath of office
prescribed by the act approved July 2,
* 1SG2. Besides these officers a considerable
number, perhaps tho larger proportion
of thoso holding subordinate
positions in the revenue department
have been also unable to comply with
-Ll * ?-T i.1. ? ?< ? i,, ,\c n

consequence they have served without
compensation, ns their accounts could
not be audited bv tho accounting officers
of the Government. Many of these
officers have performed very important
duties with fidelity, and not a few must
be in great distress by reason of their
inabilities. When the appointments
were made it was found that it would
be difficult to find competent officers in
many of the Southern districts who
could take the oath referred to ; so important
did it seem to the President
and the Cabinet, for the purpose of
equalizing the public burdens, that the
revenue system should be established
throughout the recently rebellious
States with as little delay as practicable,
and that the unpleasant duty of collecting
taxes from an exhausted and lately
rebellious people should be peformed
l-i+ * c? o 4- Sinnnalnrv

of the Treasury did not hesitate to recommend
for appointment and to appoint
men of whose present loyalty
there was no question, but who might
either willingly or unwillingly, during
the progress of the rebellion, have been
so connected with the insurgent States
or Confederate Government as to be
unable to take the oath of office. This
was not done from any disposition to
disregard the law, but with an honest
and sincere purpose of collecting the
revenues with as little trouble to the
tax-payers as possible. The country
was in a peculiar condition; the rebellion
had come to a sudden close; all
resistance to the authority of the United
States had ceased, and some seven
millions of people hi a state of disorganization
were left without any civil
government whatever, and without
even an adequate military protection
against anarchy and violence undor
these circumstances. As it seemed
clearly to be the duty of the Executive
to proceed at once to establish the Federal
authority and civil government in
these States, so it seemed to be necessary
to carry into effect the revenue
laws of the General Government. As
the country was passing from a state of
war to a state of peace, and the emergency
seemed to bo too pressing to admit
of delay until the meeting of Congress,
it was thought that the tost oath
might, in view of the great objects to
be obtained, in some cases be dispensed
with, or rather that persons might be
permitted to hold revenue offices who
could take it only in a qualified form.
No one could have regretted more than
the President and the members of the
Cabinet the necessity which existed for
AA?WA Ivtli nAAm A/1 4-A V> A
tins v;uuisc . uui ^IUCJLU DCCJUCU. tyj uu
no alternative, and it was confidentlyhoped
that under tho circumstances of
the case it would be approved by Congress.
Among those whose names are
presented to the President, the Secretary
has no reason to suppose that there
is one who can justly lie charged with
being instrumental in instigating the
rebellion, although a few may have
contributed to its support and?;ontinuance.
Some with strong attachments
for the Union had followed the States
in which they lived into the war against
the United States, under the baleful influence
of the doctrine of State sovereignty.
Some had held office under
the insurgent authorities as the only
means of supporting their families.
Others, to escape conscription, or to be
in a better condition to resist at the
proper time the Confederate rule. Not
one is known to have been a disunionist
or unfriendly to the Government at
the commencement of the war. A very
slight change in the oath?a change
that would not cover a particle of present
disloyalty?would enable the mo6t
of them to hold the offices they are
now so acceptably filling. Great loss
to the Government and inconvenience
to the Deportment must result from
the discontinuace of their services.
After stating reasons at large why the
oath should he modified, the Secretary
snvs the rebellion grew out of antagonism
of opinion between the people of
the free and slave?the legitimate result
of a difference of institutions.
With the abolishion of slavery all real
difference of opinion and all serious
causes of estrangement ought rapidly
to disappear. It will be a calamity,
the extent of which cannot now be estimated,
both to this nation and to the
cause ef civil liberty throughout the
world, if, instead of looking to reconciliation
and harmony, the action of the
Government shall tend to harden and
tensify a sectionalism between the
Northern and Southern States. It is
difficult to conceive of a more unfortunate
course for the United States to
pursue than to make tax gatherers at
tne ooutn 01 men wno are strangers to
tlie people. It needs no reference to
history, although it is full of lessons
upon this subject, to illustrate the fatal
consequences of such a policy.
Appended to this letter of the Secretary
of the Treasury are the names of
forty-nine persons acting as Assessors
and Collectors in the Southern States
who have not taken the oath of office
without qualification. It is added that
there are undoubtedly others whose
names have not been received. It appears
from a letter of the Commissioner
of Customs that the following named
persons are the only custom' officers
who have taken the oath in a modified
form :?James M. Mathews, Collector,
Rappahannock, Virginia; William S.
Craft, Collector, Georgetown, South
Carolina; Gordon Forbes, Collector,
Yecomo, Virginia ; William Y. Leitch,
Surveyor, Charleston, South Carolina;
F. M. Robertson, Special examiner of
Drugs; and Edgar M. Lazarus and J.
F. Walker, Appraisers, Charleston
(South Carolina.
The Postmaster-General, in his communication,
says, as a means of restoring
the business interests in the Southern
States, and of aiding in the re-eslablishment
of their constitutional relations
with the Government, it was
deemed important by the President and
Cabinet that the mails should be introduced
and postoffices be re-opened in
those States as rapidly as possible; to
which end the energies of the Department
were promptly and have been continuously
directed. Various causes have
doubtless contributed to the failure in
accomplishing all that was hoped for ;
but that resultiner from the oath pre
scribed by the Act of July 2, 1862, and
March S, 1863, has not been the least,
while it has been the one to which his
attention has been most frequently
called. This, as he is inclined to believe
was not owing exclusively to their not
being loyal persons who could take the
oath, but to the limited compensation,
most of the offices offering insufficient
inducements to persons to act as postmasters,
and to the unwillingness of
many who might otherwise act, to do
so on account of the inconvenience and
compromise of their positions, which
they fear would result from taking the
oath, when the majority of their neighUaka

form aided the rebellion. To obviate
these difficulties in part, recourse has.
been had to the appointment of women
as postmistresses,which has proved to
be of doubtful utility to the service.
And necessity has also compelled the
appoiniment of very many ignorant
persons, incompetent to discharge the
duties of their offices. As a remedy
for the future, the Postmaster-General
suggests a modification of the oath by
inserting the word "voluntarily" immediately
preceding the word "sought"
so that the clause would read, "That I
have neither voluntarily sought nor
accepted, nor attempted to exercise, the
functions of any office whatever under
any authority or pretended authority
in hostility to the United States." This
would enlarge the class of persons who
could qualify as posmasters and mail
contractors, and be in harmony, it seems
to him, with the general provisions and
purposes of the oath, and thus facilitate
the speedy re-establishment of the postal
service to the common benefit of all
the sections of the country; for it must
be borne in mind that while the people
of the Southern States are more directly
interested in the restoration, other
States are also largely interested. It
may bo, he 6ays, interesting to know
that of the 225# mail routes in operation
in the disloyal States at the breaking
out of the rebellion, the service of
757 only has been restored, and that of
8902 postoffices in those States only
2042 appointments of postmasters have
been made, of whom 1177 only have
qualified for office, 747 of them being
j males and 420 females. Of the 865
who have not qualified, it is believed
that quite all of them have not done bo
because of the oath.
The Postmaster-General adds, injustice
to the department, in view of the
inefficient service as shown by the foregoing
facts, that no propositions for
transportation of the mails for a fair
consideration have been declined, while
postmasters have been uniformly and
promptly appointed upon reliable recomendations.
The Postmaster-General
concludes by saying he need not enlarge
upon, evils resulting from so partial a
restoration of the postal service in the
Southern States, nor upon the benefits
to the Government and to the people
of all section of the country that would
result from a more general and efficient
restoration of that service.
These papers were referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary.

Military Statistics In Mexico.
The following is a translation of an extract
taken from La Somlia a newspaper
published in the City of Mexico:
"According to the official dispatches
which have been published during the
last seven months, from June to December,
1864, dating from the arrival
of Maximilian, there took place 122
engagements between the French and
Mexicans, of more or less importance,
in which there * were 1,300 wounded
and 3,277 killed. In the year 18G5
the number of engagements was 322,
in which 1,279 were wounded and
5,074 killed ; total, 8,951 killed and
2,579 wounded. Thus iu the first seven
months there was on an average of 17
engagements per month ; while in the
remaining twelve months there has
been nearly one a day, with the difference
that the number of killed has
fallen from an average of eight to five.
At the beginning of last year the en

month, while in December they had
already reached 34.
Judicial Legislation
It is stated in a dispatch from^Vashington,
which will be found under its
appropriate hood, that Judge Underwood,
of Alexandria, Va., has judicially
decided that inasmuch as the State
of Texas was not mentioned in jhe late
peace proclamation of the President,
that document "practically declares
that the rebellion continues to exist."
But for the Judge's antecedents, we
should be inclined to suspect the dispatch
to be a hoax; and even as it is,
we think there must be some mistake
a$4o the point judcially decided. No
sune man Mill venture to assert that the
rebellion continuue to exist, in fact, any
m'here; and none but a fanatic will deny
that its existence, in Ium-, was terminated
by the proclamation, as to the
States named therein. And to hold
that, because it may still technically
exist in Texas, it therefore exists in
all the other Southern States is 'an absurdity
so outrageous that it would be
a waste of time to argue the point.
The Hon. Alex. If. Stephen*
Was examined a few days since before
the Reconstruction Committee at
great length. The committee manifested
a desire to obtain all the information
from Mr. Stephens, as it seemed
to be their impression that he was by
far the best informed witness who has
yet appeared before them. It is im
possible to say what impression the I
evidence of Mr. Stephens may have
upon the ultimate action of the committee,
but if they were not determined
not to admit the Southern States under
any circumstances, it is difficult to see
how they could refuse to do so now
after the evidence laid before them by
Mr. Stephens. !Mr. Stephens has. laid
before them tho facts which prove that
the people of Georgia are as loyal as the
people of Massachusetts or New York,
and that they are doing ten ' times as
much for the negroes as the people of
those States, and that they ardently
desire a restoration of the Union, yet
... . * . . t , ?
the committee have determined, ana
Congress will sustain them in this determination,
that none of the Southern
States, not even Georgia, shall be represented
in the present Congress.

This lady left the city of New York a

where her two elder children, mother
and sisters are temporarily residing.
She has not been to Washington, as lus
been incorrectly telegraphed from that
city; nor has she been able to obtain permission
to sec Mr. Davis. It becomes
us to add that, during her entire trip
from Georgia hither, she BedulousJy
avoided a! p ibfic demonstrations of that
earnest sympathy and profound respect
with which our people regard the wife
of him who, during the whole period of
the heroic struggle and eventful history,
presided over their short-lived Republic,
and who now languishes, on our account,
within the prison walls of a fortress.?
This fact is mentioned because the telegraph

Tlie President's Proclamation
Seems to puzzle the country. Does
it mean anything, or nothing? Does
it restore the writ of habeas corpus to the
Southern States ? Does it re-establish
the supremacy of the civil law in those
States ? Does it do any more than inconsequently
declare that the insurrection
has been suppressed ?
A Northern exchange upon this point
says :
"Our Southern brethren would do
well to disabuse themselves of the
impression that the proclamation of the
2d makes any material change in their
status. It is true they have got along
wonderfully fast under the President's
policy of reconstruction. They are
still, however, in their leading strings,
and a present realization of this fact
will relieve them from a future disappointment."

National Intelligencer, 9th.
From Washington.
lion. Alexander II. Stephens) Find an
interview with the President to day. and
ouc with the Secretary of State. Both
interviews were of the most cordial and
pleasant nature The President expressed
great satisfaction at the presence of
Mr. Stephens in Washington, and said
that he aiilicipat d much good to result
from influence of Mr. Stephens with the
Southern people. Mr. Stephens has been
called upon to day by many Senators and
Representatives. lie had made a most
favorable impression upon all, and bis
cheering account of the condition of
public feeling in Georgia^have had a
most happy effect.
There is every reason to believe that
the peace proclamation of the President
will be immediately followed by other
action on his part. It will be observed
| that the legal effect of ihe proclamation
I is to Dlace the Southern States in the
same attitude precisely toward the General
Government that they occupied before
the war, and entitled to the same
rights that they heretofore enjoyed. Mr.
Johnson is determined to follow out this
principle to its legitimate conclusion^ and
to see to it that the Southern StAtes are
no longer deprived of these rights by a
factious majority in Congress.
The civil rights bill was taken up in
the Senate to-day, and the consideration
of the veto commenced. Mr. Trumbull's
speech, in favor of the bill, of two hours'
duration, was able and ingenious, but it
was evident that he labored under the
knowledge tliut the bill is doomed to
defeat. Kevcrdy Johnson, of Maryland,
is to speak to-morrow in defence of the
veto, and as there will be at least two
more speeches on the subject, a vote can
hardly be reached before Friday, and
may not be reached this week. The
veto will certainly be sustained by 18
votes.
The intelligence from New Jersey
continues to be propitious, Mr. Scovel
will maintain his position, and there is
no truth in the rumors of the defection
of \$o Democratic members. There is
even some possibility that Mr. Stockton
hiiu-elf may eventually be returned.
It is reported that Mrs. Jcff.rson
Davis and General Dick Taylor have
both received permission to visit Jefferson
Davis, and that he will, soon be released
on habeas corpus, as under the
11 J ? J.. 1 1 _
rresiaeni a proclamation ne can no
longer be held as a prisoner under mere
military authority, and under the decision
of the Supreme Court yesterday, he
cannot be tried by a military tribunal.
The Bruok.s and Bodge contested
election occupied the attention of the
House to-day. The minority report and
the speech of Mr. Marshall in favor of
Mr. Brooks have produced a very good
effect. The House was also electrihed
by a powerful and earnest speech by Mr.
Farnsworth, of Illinois, a prominent Republican
member, in favor of Mr. Brooks.
It is conceded on all hands, now, that
Mr. Bodge cannot get the scat of Mr.
Biooks, and, indeed, it. is not improbable
after all, that Air. Bi uoks may he entitled
to it. His case certainly looks favorable.
The case wi 1 scarcely be concluded he- .
fore the end ol the week. Mr. Stewart'p
resolution will probably be taken up by
the Senate as soon as the civil rights bill

The suit was that of Bussey vs. Wilson,

by Bussey to Wilson for 1862. It was
alleged that the girl was burned through
the negligence of Wilson, from the effects
of which she died. Defendant claims
that he had paid the h>rc of the girl up
to January 1, 1863, at which time the
President's proclamation liberating Javes
went into effect, and plaintiff had no right
of property in the girl. The Court
charged the jtiry, first, that if the accident
occurred prior to January 1, 1863,
when it was admitted by parties that the
plaintiff could claim the right of property
in slaves, he had the right to maintain
his action, and that damages would

Some of the Results.
The Petersburg Index says the refusal
of a justice to marry a black man
and white woman, the refusal of a hotel
keeper to lodge or keep a negro,
subjects, by the Civil Rights Bill, the
"offending" party to a fine of $1000, or
imprisonment, or both.
The discrimination by any State between
whites and blacks in any of its
laws, remits the aggrieved black to the
courts to the Unitod States for trial,
so that under the Civil Rights Bill, the
Federal Courts will have cognizance of
murders, rapes, arsons, robberies, and
many other crimes heretofore' cognizable
exclusively in state courts.
