the Majority, submitted the following
minority report. The majority report
was also submitted to the House to-day.
It is very elaborate, and full of special
pleading, and is unbecoming gentlemen
who profess to be lawyers of some stand
ing. The following minority report
speaks for itself:
Andrew J. Rogers, from the Committee
on the Judiciary, to which was referred,
by direction of the House, the message
from his Excellency the President of the
Uuited States, transmitting communica
tions from the Honorable Secretary of the
Treasury and the Honorable Postmaster-
General, recommending a modification of
the test oath prescribed by act of Con
gress oi July 2, 1862, presents to the
House a minority report in favor of a
modification of said oath, as recommended
by the President and said Secretaries,
aod submits the following reasons :
The Honorable Secretaries and the
President are in a situation to know bet
ter the necessities for a modification of
such oath than any other persons. Their
honesty, loyalty, and love of country
cannot be justly questioned, and where
such high authority recommends the pas
sage or modification of a law. it should
have great weight, and furnishes to the
House good evidence that the oath should
be modified. It is but a small asking,
simply to urge the modification of an
oath unknown to the Constitution, and
established in time of war, for the pur
poses of war, and I am a little surprised
that they did not recommend its entire
repeal. The war is ended, and peace has
been proclaimed. The only question that
ought to be raised is, are they loyal men,
and if they can take an oath to support
the Constitution. That is all that ought
or really can be required ot them. The
most of the people of the South cast
tf.heir fortunes with the rebellion, upon an
honest conviction that their allegiance to
State sovereignty was superior to their
allegiance to federal authority. Some
held offices under the rebel government
as the only measure they had for support.
Some aided the rebellion to avoid con
scription. Some were compelled by con
scription to take up arms in defence of
the so-called confederate States. A et the
'pTeseut oath prevents every one of them
f rom holding any office under the federal
government. Ih fact, nearly one-half
the people were compelled, by the force
■of a. despotism, to sustain the confederate
cause, and as the federal government
could not protect them, it has no right to
■complain of persons who were forced to
give allegiance to the only organization
that could give them protection. The
Honorable Secretary of the Treasury says
that not one of those who now hold office
in the South were movers in disuuion or
unfriendly to the government at the com-
■mencement of the war. He says that a
very slight change in the oath, a change
that would not cover a particle of present
disloyaltv, would enable them to hold
the offices they are now so acceptably fil
ling. He also says:
“For these offices, that must soon be
come vacant if Congress should not deem
it safe or proper to modify the oath, I am
at a loss to know where the right men
are to be obtained, or how the revenue in
many of the Southern districts are to be
collectld. I deem it my duty further to
remark, that I do not consider it advisa
ble for the government to attempt to col
lect taxes in the Southern States by the
hands of strangers. After having given
■the subject careful consideration, anxious
as I am to increase the revenue and to
lighten by distributing and equalizing
the burdens of the people, with no party
interests to promote, and with nothing
[but the good of the government at heart,
J have come to the deliberate conclusion
fthat it would be better for the country,
ipolixically and financially, to suspend the
collection of the internal revenue taxes
an the Southern States, except in oom-
.mercial cities, for months, if" not for years
to come, rather than to undertake to col
lect them by men not identified with the
tax-payers in sympathy or in interest.
“ The rebellion grew out of an antago
nism of opinion between the people of
the free and slave States, the legitimate
results of a difference of institutions.—
W ith the abolition of slavery, all real
differences of opinion, and all serious
causes of estrangement, ought rapidly to
disappear. It will be a calamity, the ex
tent of which cannot now be estimated,
both to this nation and to the cause of
civil liberty throughout the world, if,
instead of looking toward reconciliation
harmony, the action of the gorern-
oecretary
ury says :
“It is true there are still some appli
cants for office in the Southern States,
who present what they call “ a clean re
cord for loyalty,” but, with rare excep
tions, they are persons who would have ;

ernmint if the rebellion had been a
success, or persons lacking the qualifica
tions which are needed in revenue po
sitions.
‘•In regard to the matter of compensa
tion, I have only to remark that the law
fixes definitely the salaries and commis
sions of most officers, and that the pay
of subordinate officers is altogether inad
equate to tempt Northern men to assume
the risk and incur the odium of collecting
taxes in the Southern States, except, per
haps, in the commercial cities of the
seaboard.”
In speaking of a clean record for loy
alty, the Honorable Secretary does not
mean to speak sneeringly of those who
have really a clean record, as the major
ity report would seem to imply, but he
has reference to those who were not liable
to draft, and who were never placed in a
situation to test their loyalty to the I ni-
ted States or so-called confederate gov
ernment.
The Honorable Postmaster General,
says:
As a remedy for the future I will ven
ture to suggest a modification of the oath
by inserting the word “ voluntarily ” im
mediately proceeding the word “ sought,”
so that the clause would read, “ That I
have neither voluntarily sought, nor ac
cepted, nor attempted to exercise the
fuctions of any office whatever, under any
authority, or pretended authority, in hos
tility to the United States.” This would
enlarge the class of persons who could
qhalify as postmasters and mail contrac
tors, and be in harmony, as it seems to
me, with the general provisions and pur
poses of the oath, and thus facilitate the
Under these reasonable limitations the
door of this part of the Federal gov
ernment is open to merit of every de
scription, whether native or adoptive,
whether young or old, and without regard
to poverty or wealth or to any other
particular profession or religious faith —
[Federalist No. 52.
The first act of the First Congress was
to prescribe the oath of office, and which
was as follows:
The oath or affirmation required by the
sixth article of the Constitution of the
Uuited States shall be administered in
the following form, to wit: I, A B, do
solemnly swear or affirm (as the case may
be) that I will support the Constitution
of the United States.
If Congress has power to add to the
oath in the Constitution, it has power to
diminish it and set it aside. If it can
add any number more. The constitution*
al oath to be administered has relation to
the future only, and not to the past, and
if tho officer would swear to support the
Constitution that was all that could be
required of him.
Our Constitution was made soon after
the close of the war, and our fathers did
not deem it wise to provide test^oaths, in
order to prohibit those who gave aid and
comfort to Great Britain from holding
office under the federal government. At
the time of the formation of the Consti
tution many of the followers of King
George resided here, and continued here
until their deaths, any of whom could
have held any office in the gift of the
people, even that of President, by simply
taking the oath provided for in the Con
stitution. Ought we not to be as chara-
He sleeps all quietly and cold
Beneath the soil that gave him birth ;

And lay it with him in the earth!

The war-shout of his charging lines.
speedy re-cstablishment of the postal ser
vice to the common benefit of all sections
of the country ; for it must be borne in
mind that while the people of the South
ern States are more directly interested in
the restoration of this service, the citizens
of all the other States are also largely in
terested.
It may not be uniuteresting to you to
know that of the 2.258 mail routes in op
eration in the disloyal States at the break
ing out of the rebellion, the service of
757 only has been restored; and that ot
8,902 postoffices in those States, only
2,042 appointments of postmasters have
been made, of whom 1,177 only have
been qualified for office, 757 of them be
ing males, and 420 females. Of the 365
who have not qualified it is believed that
quite all of them have not done so because
of the oath.
I called upon the lion. Secretary of the
Treasury to be informed by him what
modification of the test oath would be sat
table to our Southern brethren as were
our fathers to those in this country who
adhered to the government of Great
Britain all through the revolutionary
war ? ‘
Every just consideration demands that
we so shape our legislation as to restore
kindly and friendly relations between the
two sections of country. The masses of
the people in the South had no hand in
originating the rebellion, and it was sim
ply the result of the action of certain lead
ing secessionists of the South and cer
tain radicals and fanatics in the North.
It is therefore uncharitable, anti-christian,
and unfair to visit punishment upon
whole people, because ot the sins of a few.
Leading men and leading journals of the
Radical school in the North invited the
South to secede. I will only quote from
one leading journal of the North. The
New York Tribune, of Feb. 22, 1861,
says
Whenever it, shall be clear that the
isfactory to him, and was informed by great body of the Southern people have
him that the amending of the third clause become conclusively alienated from the
in the oath, by striking out the words
“ neither sought nor accepted, nor attempt
ed to exercise the functions of,” and in
serting the words “not voluntarily sought,”
so that it would read, “ that I have not
Yoluntarilv sought any office whatever
under any authority or pretended authori-
in hostility to the United States,” would
answer the purpose for which the modifi
cation was recommended. I do not deem
it material that all the doings of the
President in time of war should be vindi
cated, in order to sustain his views in
time of peace. We mast deal with things
as they now are, and not pursue the same
course to fallen foes that we would pursue
toward them were they in arms against
the government. This test oath must at
some time, and lhat is not far distant, be
repealed. It cannot remain always, un
less it is the determination of the people
to deprive the present generation in the
South from a Toice in the affairs of the
nation. That cannot be and this country
remain a republic. The people of the
South are ready and anxious to partici
pate in the affairs of the government, and
defend and support the Constitution of
their country. The woret despotisms of
the Old World have been established
through the form of the test oaths;. and to
exclude seven millions ot people from
participating in federal affairs, by making
the taking of an oath unknown to the
Constitution a condition precedent, and
one which they cannot take without false
swearing, is despotism, pure and simple.
The Constitution of the United States
Union, and anxious to escape it, we will
do our best to forward their views.
Again, the same paper, of date March
2, 1861, we have this clear statement on
the same point:
We have repeatly said, and we once
more insist, that the great principle em
bodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of
Independence, that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of the
governed, is sound and just; and that if
the slave States, the cotton States, or the
Gulf States only, choose to form an in
dependent nation, they have a moral right
to do so.
But while we were in the midst of the
war, 31 r. Greeley, in the New York
Tribune, on the *21st February, 1863,
said: . A
I was willing, in the winter of 15bU-
61, to let the cotton States go if they
really desired it. I was not only then
willing that the Union should in good
faith make them the offer, but I now
deeplt regret that it was not made and
aeted on. , . , . ,
The people of the South had at least
encouragement from the North to secede,
and had a right to believe that the prin
cipal papers'* of the Republican party
enunciated its sentiments.
The test oath ought to be repealed, at
least as to all who hare received pardon,
for the legal effect of a pardon is to re
store them to all the rights they enjoyed
before the eon: mission of the offense, the
same as if no offense had ever been .com
mitted ; and as most ol them have been
pardon
MAN.
Blackstonc says:
A pardon may be pleaded in bar as at
once destroying the end and purpose of
the indictment, by remitting the punish
ment which the prosecution is calculated
to inflict.
Also:
Tho effect of such a pardon by the
king is to make the offender a new man ;
to acquit him of all corporal punishment
and forfeitures annexed to that offense for
which he obtains his pardon.
In Lilly’s Abridgement the doctrine is
thus laid down :
“A pardon doth discharge not only the
punishment which was to be inflicted
upon the person that did commit the
offense pardoned, but also the guilt of
the offense itself. It pardons culpa so
clearly that in the eye of the law the
offender id as innocent as if he bad never
committed the offense.”
In view, then, of all the surrounding
circumstances, it does appear that we
should lay our party prejudices aside,
elevate ourselves to the situation of affairs,
and modify the oath, so far, at least, as is
recommended by the Hon. Secretary of
the Treasury and the Hon. Postmaster-
General and the President of the United
States. It is to be hoped that our reve
nue will be collected, and our means of
communication through the Postoffice
Department extended over all the vast
domain of our common country, without
the necessity of using such measures as
will tend to alienate the affections of one-
third of our population and establish a
despotism over one-third of our land.—
For the reason herein set forth, it is re
commended that Congress so fai modify
the test oath that the third clause may
be stricken out, and a clause inserted
therein to read as follows : “ That I have
not voluntarily sought any office whatever
under any authority or pretended authori
ty in hostility to the United States.”
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Flashed hope on all within its light;
And still the v«ice that, trumpet-toned,
Rang through the serried ranks of fight.

Or tents gleam white upon the plain ;

Of sabers, when the fbemeu meet.

A Mother’s Love.
Some years ago, some English officers,
camped in the vicinity of Mulkapoor,
went out a tiger hunting, and bagged a
splendid tigress. Whilst returning home
with the trophy, they found, in a secluded
spot, in the lee of a jagged rock, what
evidently was the lair of a tiger, for
their lay bones of both human and brute
kind, and shreds and rags of clothing.
More interesting than all, however, was
the discovery of a tiny kitten, not more
than a fortnight old, coiled in a corfier,
winking and blinking, and gaping at the
intruders. The hunters at once decided
that this must be the cub of the beast
they had slain, and willingly took eharge
of the little orphan.
Tiger kittens arc not captured every
day, so when the hunters returned to
their quarters, the excitement in tbeir
tent was considerable. The nearly ac
quired kitten was provided with a tiny
dog-collar and chain, and attached, to the
tent pole, round which it gamboled to the
delight of an audience numbering nearly
twenty. About two hours after the cap
ture, however, and just as it was grow
ing dark, the good people in the tent
were checked in their hilarity by a sound
that caused the bravest heart there to beat
rather irregulaily.
It was the roar, or rather the combina
tion of shriek and roar, peculiar to the
tiger when driven mad with rage. In
an instant the gamboling kitten became
every inch a tiger, and strained with all
its baby strength, at the lether, while it
replied, with a loud wail, to the terrible
voice outside. The company were panic-
stricken. There wa3 something so sudden
and unearthly in the roar, that it seemed
as though the great tiger brought in an
hour before, had come to life again.—
Certainly, the tiger in question was al
ready flayed but the picture conjured up
became not the more pleasant for that.
There was, however, not nearly so much
time for speculation to the scared company
as writing these lines has cost; for almost
simultaneous with the roar, there leaped
sheer into the centre of the tent a bold
tigress, and without deigning to notice a
single man there, she caught her kid
napped baby by the nape of its neck, and
giving it a jerk, snapped the little chain,
and then, turning for the tent door,
trotted off at a full speed. After all, it
appeared that the little thing did not be
long to the tiger that was slain, but to the
brave mother that had tracked and recov
ered it. Sanguinary maneater as she
may have been, one can be scarcely sorry
to hear that not a gun was leveled at the
great rejoicing creature, as she bore off
her young one, aod that she got cleat off.
