It is the duty of public officers to obey
aud execute the laws. No obligation is
plainer than this, and none should bo
more rigidly observed. The legislative
department of the Government is in
trusted with the law-making power,
and when that power is once exercised
all officers must yield obedience to it.
If the act of July 2. 1862- stood in the
way of a ptoper execution of other laws
to the extent indicated by the Secretary
the duty of the President was very plain.
It waenot to dispeuro with the law, hut
to aasemblo Congress, and ask for a re
moval nf the obstruction. Had this been
done in the spring of 1865, the compli
cation now existing in the affairs of the
nation would, in all probability, have
been avoided ; for with teh viows then
entertained by the President relative to
tho power cf Congress over the subject
of reconstruotsion, the legislative and
executive departments could have
worked together with little or no frlc
tiop.
Instead, however, of calling Congress
together, the Executive Department of
tho Government elected to dispense
with the law of July 2d, 1862, and the
Secretary of tiio Treasury presents tho
House wiib tho following exhibit of
officers appointed under this dispensa
tion:
[Here followsalistoffifly-five officers,
mostly Collectors, Assessors and Assis
tant Assessors of Internal Revenue, in
the States of Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, eto.j
It is not a matter of surprise that
Montgomery Moses, who is reported in
the foregoing list as “Collector, First
District South Carolina,’’ cannot sub
scribe to tho oath nf office, for the com
mittee is informed that he was a Con
federate tax colieotor. A letter relative
to the case of Mr. Moses was receatlv
accopt tho offices without a modifica
tion of the oath presoribed by law.
Some of theso persons are applicants
for the very offices filled by men who
cannot qualify as required by law.
Mr. J. J. tilers, a citizen of Alabama,
.pplied for the appointment as com
missioner for tho collection of direct
taxes for that State. His application
was sunporlo l by the fblowing testi-
mon iais ;
Hon. Secretary of War:
jgPlease see Mr.'J J. Glers on the pro
priety of furnishing small' aim mn-
unition to the loyal people of North
Alabama. A. Lincoln.
November 13,1863.
NaIhvillk, Tznn., April 30, 1804.
To President Lincoln :
Mr. Glers is a gentleman of integrity
and respeotability; he isohe of the few
in that country who stood firm to the
Union. Any kindness you mUy show
him will confer a personal favor upon
mo. A. Johnson.
Mr. Glers is a loyal citizen of Ala
bama, and has done many nets to prove
his nositiou.
G. H. Thomas, Maj. Gen:
May 14, 1865. „ , T
I have knowu Mr. Glers well, auu I
have always found him ready to aid the
Government in every way possible. He
is oompe-ten t and reliable.
U. S. Gsani, Lieut. Gen.
February 18. 1866.
Mr. Glers’ friends were not successful
in their efforts to secure for him the
position he desired, but one J. IV.
Sykes, who was s member of the rebel
Legislature of Alabama, was nominated
to office. Other cases might be given,
but it is deemed unnecessary. Appli
cations are still pending for the ap
pointment of some of the loyal men of
the South to official positions in those
polioy. The unhappy condition of the
Southern States cannot ho improved by
changing laws whibh may be opposed to
the views and feelings of those citizous
who fought for four years to destroy
the Government. They must learn
that obedience to law is a duty not to
bo lightly regarded, and that loyalty to
the Government is a virtue which can
not be destroyed by the sociui power of
the disloyal. When these ends aro se
cured,,it may he expedient to modify
the test oath, but not until then.
The committee therefore ask to be
discharged from the further considera
tion of the subject.

Dear Sir: For four years of the war
Montgomeiy Moses was collector of war
taxes for Jeff. Davis, grinding the peo
ple here, and now is assessor (collector)
of United Stales tax, internal revenue ;
and ail his sons were rebels, and are
now sucking Government pap in reve
nue. Is this right? Plenty Union men
here idle.
Your servant,
Peter Hatnes, Freedman.
This letter, though brief and written
by nn bumhlo man, contains much on
which thoso who advise a modification
of the oath of office may seriously, and
profitably, reflect.
Each one of the officers embraced in
the foregoing list is acting in violation
of law. Their commissions represent
fifty-five violations of a national statute.
Each act of appointment was an as
sumption of a grave responsibility.
Why wero these things dono? An an
swer to this question will present some
interesting facts.
In a communication sent to the Sen
ate in response to a resolution of that
body, the Seoretary of the Treasury
said:
"In most of the Southern Statos,
nearly every mail of the charac
ter and intelligence necessary to quali
fy him for a position as revenue officer,
sometime during the progress of the
war either engaged in hostilities against
the Government of the United States,
or held, willingly or unwillingly, office
under rebel authority. Hence it has
become necessary, as before stated, to
employ in a few important, but not
remunerative positions and in most of
the subordinate ones, men of this class,
especially as tho salary and emoluments
of the offices were generally too small
to induoo Northern men to aocept
them.’’
Those considerations, ooupled with
the necessity of a speedy execution of
the revenuo laws in tho rebel States,
aro presented in extenuation of the
oourse _ pursued relative to the appoint
ments in those Stales. Put the Com
mittee is inclined to believe that the
Secretary misjudged the fuels of the
caso, and thus magnified tho difficulties
wliioh besot him; and is of the opinion
that loyal men who could qualify under
the provisions of the act of July 2, 18-
62, might have been found in numbers
mora than suffioient to fill all the offices
in the rebel StateB, if proper exertions
had been made to that end.
It must bo remembered that the rob
el States furnished many thousands of
white troops to the Union army, as ap
pears from the following table :
Virginia 85
N. Carolina... 3,675
Georgia 142
Alabama 2,471
Florida 1,286
-Here is a total of
to this number,
Mississippi 68 L
Louisiana 5,357
Texas 2,414
Arkansas 8,627
Tennessee,..17,637
42,605. Imaddttion
about 10,000 white
4th. Neither the United States nor
any debt
troops from those States wore enlisted
in organizations not embraced in the
foregoing table—making a total of 52-
605 white loyalists who stood by the
Government. And even this statement
does not include several thousands
whoso aotual presence swelled the ranks
of the Repumio, but whose real num
bers cannot be known without a labor
ed investigation of the record's of the
War Department, as the committee wus
informed by the officer in charge of
those records.
It will be remembered that in 1865
Congress passed the followingjoint res
olutions:
Resolved. That persons honorably dis
charged from the military or naval ser
vice, by reason ef disability rosulting
from wounds or sickness incurred in
the line of duty, should be preferred
for appointment to civil offices, provi
ded they shall be found to possess the
business capacity necessary for the
proper discharge of the duties of sucli
offices.
And be it further resolved, That in
grateful recognition of the services, sac
rifices and sufferings of persons honor
ably discharged from the military and
naval service of the country, by reason
of wounds, disease, or expiration of
terms of enlistment, it is rcspeotfully
recommended to bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, mechanics, farmors, and
persons engaged in industrial pursuits,
to give them the preference for appoint
ments to remunerative situations and
employments.
Approved March 3; 1865.
•clear record for reliability,’ but, with
lore exceptions, they are persons who
would have been able to present an
equally fair record for place under the
Confederate Government if tiie]rebellion
had been a suceess, or persons lacking
the qualifications which are needed in
revenue positions.”
The persons hero referred to are
doubtless these who refused to aid tho
Government of the U. States during the
war, because of the merciless rebel dis
position which restrained them. And
all the credit whioh they receive for
tboir faithfulness to the Republic is
what seems not unlike a sneer on the
part oljjtbe Secretary at [their "clear
record tor loyalty.” “A clean recoid
for loyalty” deserves a higher record
than lhis, and those who can present it
are entitled to quite as much consider
ation at tho hands ot the Government,
as tho men of •‘oharaoter and intelli
gence” who are holding office in viola
tion of law. Numbers of the latter class
were not unkindly received, but, on
the contrary, were treated with great
kindness and forbearance. When they
could not take tho oath of office, it was
“varied by more or less being stricken
out or omitted, according to the feelings
or circumstances of tho appointoe.”—
That loyal men have not beeD appoint
ed to office in tho rebel Statos docs not
ariso from the fact that no such men
aro there but from other and very dif.
feront causes. One of these causes is
presented in the communication of
tho Postmaster General accompanying
tho message referred tq, the committee.
In s] eaking of the difficul'y he has ex
perienced in securing the services of
persons who can tako tho test oath to
act as postmasters, lie says :
"This, as 1 am v inclined to believe,
has not been owing exclusively to there
not being loyal parsons, who couli^take
the oath, but to tho limited compensa
tion in most of tho offices, offering in
sufficient inducements to persons to
act as postmasters, and also to the un
willingness of many who might other
wise act, to do so in consequence of the
compromise of their social position,
which, they fear, would result from ta
king the oath,* wliero tho great ma
jority of their neighbors consists of
thoso who had, in some form, aided tho
rebellion."
Tho difficulty arising from the limi
ted compensation in most of the post-
offices in the rebel States, would have
no application in regard to revenuo of
fices, for they command pecuniary in
ducements suffioient to cause men to
seek after them. And it may well be
said, in answer to tho suggestion of the
Postmaster Genoral, that ex-rebels can
not afford to dischargo the duties of an
office at a less rato of compensation
than a loyal man can. Hence a modi
fication of the test oath would not lift
the Postmaster General out of this diffi
culty. The real trouble lies ia the
second reason assigned by the Postmns
tor General, which is “the unwilling
ness of many who might otherwise aot,
to do so, in consequence of the com
promise of their social position, which
they fear would result from taking the
oath, where tho groat majority consists
of thoso who hnd, in some form, aidod
in the rebellion.” instead of this being
an argument in favor of a modification
of the test oath, its force appears to the
committeo to be in the opposite direc
tion. A modification based on suoha
codsideratiou (would operate a3 a pre
mium for disloyalty. It would add to
tho social power of the disloyal,\ and
this result would stand in opposition to
the policy o( the President as announc
ed by him in April, 1865, when he said
to tho rebels : “Their sooial power must
be destroyed.”
If the test oath should be so far mod
ified ns to enable an ex-rebel to take it,
tile social influence which now over
awes loyal men would still push them
out of the way, and force the Govern
moot to bost'-w its offices on the disloy
al. This would not mako "treason odi
ous,” nor would it “punish traitors.”
On the contrary, it would increaso tho
odium which now attaches to loyalty
bocal
Tho Test Oath.
We publish to-day, to the exolusion
of much miscellaneous matter, the ma
jority report of tho ^Reconstruction Gom
mittee on the test oath question. This
document is laid before tho public af
ter some two months oxreful delibo a-
tion by the ablest minds iu the Radical
_pavty, and therefore may bo looked up
on asthe embodiment of their fixed
policy upon this question, their spirit
towards the South, and their intense
anxiety to grind to powder thoso whom
the fortunes of war have placed in their
power. The arguments used, sophmorio
and puerile ns they are, ore yet wonder
fully well adopted to food the flame of
malicious hatred, already glowing in
the hearts of a large portion of the
Northern people. They thoroughly un
derstand the feelings of their own peo-
pio, and are not afraid of disguiting
them by introducing the letter of an il
literate Freedman, who does not know
the difference between a collector and
assessor of taxes, to prove that the
President doos not understand tho con
dition of uffuirs at tho South. They
seem to have no realization of the fact
that ‘‘circumstnnoes alter casos.” The
spirit of their policy would damn tho
entire human race, for they do not rec
ognize tho efficacy of repentance. They
have no ears to hear, “the measure ye
mete shall be measured to you again,”
and they care not how many times tho
quality of mercy may be blessed.
Want ol spaoe prevents further com
ment upon this remarkable document
at this time. If you desire to under
stand the tone of Northern Radicalism,
give this report a careful perusal, and
you will, probably, agree with us, that
their policy may be expressed in the
single sentence, “might is right and damn
the rebels.”
any State shallartume or pay any debt
or obligation iuouired in ail of tho in
surrection, or any claim for compensa
tion for loss of involuntary Bervioe or

5th. Congress Shall have power tA en
force by appropriate legislation the pro
visions of this article. The committee
will also report the hill providing that
whenever tho above amendment sliall

modified the Constitution and laws in
conformity therewith, tho Senators and
Representatives from Southern States,

office, be ndmittod into Congress as
such. In addition, they will also re
port a bill declaring ineligible to office

him, two buckshot taking effect iu his

Mr. Dwinell.—I -was much pleased
at the effort made at Che cemetery on
the 20th, to raise funds to enolose the
Soldiers graves, but I think they did
not aim high enough. The whole Cem-
otory ground should he enclosed, there
are Confederate soldiers buried'in oth

I make this suggestion that the City
Council be requested to authorize tho
Cemetery Committee to cause the
ground to be re-s irveyed, the lots num
bered, aud ground unclosed, and as the
City Council at this lime have no funds,
I propose to be one of twenty to givo
ten dollars, and one of thirty tn give
five dollars, and one of fifty to give
two dollars, for that purpose- I will
take either, or all of the above proposi

REPORT OF RECONSTRUCTION.
COMMITTEE.
WasiiiNaTeN, April 26.
Thejointc ommitteo on reconstruction
have agreed, twelve against three, pro
posing an amendment to the Constitu
tion.
1st. No State shall make or enforce
any law abridging privileges of citizens
A community that will not respect an
officer of the United States because bo
bus been sufficiently loyal to the Gov
ernment to allow of his taking the test
oath does not deserve to have the ad
vantages and conveniences of the pos
tat service extended to it, but does de
serve to have the levenue laws enforced
against it by such officers as the Gov
ernment may be able to seouro the ser
vices of.
There aro thousands of loyal men in
the South who can take the test oatn,
and to suoh should the offices in those
States he given. Lot the Government
recognize their claims in this regard,
and loyalty and respect for tho Govern-
mentof tho United Slates will soon be
strong enough to overcome the social
powor whioh now frowns upon every
Union man who stood by the flag , of
the Republio throughout the wholo
course of the war.
Temporary inconveniences should not
turn the Government aside from this
Stutodeprivo any person of lile, liberty
or property, without the process of law,
nor deny to any person within its juris
diction equal protection of laws,
2d. Representatives shull be appor
tioned according to their respective
number of persons from each State, ex
cluding Indians, not taxed, but when
ever in any State the elective franchise
divides any portion of the male citizens
not less than twenty-one years, or in
any way abridges, except for participa
tion in the rebellion, or other crime,
tho basis of representation in such State
shall bo reduced in the proportion
which the numbers of such male citii
zens shall bo to the whole number of
male citizens, not less than 'twenty-one
years of age.
3d. Until the4th of July, 1870, oil
persons who voluntarily adhered to the
late insurrection, giving aid and com-
lort, shall be excluded from the
right to vote for members of Congress
and for electors for President and Vice
President.
