SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Speech of General Schofield Before the Re- construction ConventionHe Opposes the Test Oath—Some Sound AdviceHis Coun sel is Rejected. RICHMOND, April iT, 1808, A committee of the Convention having inquired of General Schofield whether he had any further com- munication to make to the body previous to its ad- Journment, the chairman reported to-day that the General would either communicate or wait upon them in person. At noon to-day, for the first time General Schofield entered the Convention unan- nounced, and escorted toa seat near the chair by Mr, Thomas, After a brief introductory, the General said MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVEN- TION—It affords me mucit pleasure to congratulate you upon the near approach of the termination of your tong and arduous labors, | have watched your prognene With interest and at times with no litte anxiety. Representing as you do every shade of Political opinion—every extreme of interest, policy wud purpose—it is not strange that you should have found in the course of your detiberations dimfcuities which seemed almost insurmountable, and wich could only have been overcome by long, patient and persevering labor. I have not hesitated to say you, Urough those gentiemen of your body have been pleased from time to time to k my opinion upon the subjects presented for your consideration, that there were certain provisions pro- posed to be engrafted into the constitution which, in my judgment, if adopted would prove fatal to that imstrument, I refer more particu'arly to the ex- tended disfranchisements and disquaiifications for ofice not pravided for by the acts of Congress. You have wisely, as I think, determined tat so far as distranchisements are coucerned to leave the subject as ordained by Congress. In other words to frame your constitution in that important particuiar upon the basis latd down by your friends in Congress, There only remains, so far as [am aware, a single provision thatI regard as seriously objectionable. I refer to that portion which prescribes the qualifica- tions for office, and which, 1 believe, wi.l be, if allowed to remain in its present form, detrimental in ils effect upon the adoption of the constitution. It is practically impossible to carry on a government in Virginta predicated upon that basis. I have been now for more than a year administering the laws in accordance with the reconstruction acts of Congress in this State. Phave had to setect and appoint regis- tering oMicers, as well as civil oficers, in the different counties throughout the State. In som ties Ihave been able to find one, and on: some two, and insome three, men of eitie’ could read and write, and who could at the same time take the oath of ofice. There are, 1 belie Virginia, some counties which will req the government by thirty or more civil © as magisyrates, sheriffs, constable: poor, &c, You cannot tind hes 1 a number of men who are capable of filling offices and who can take the cath you Nave prescribed here. ‘They pay a very limited salary and even the common orer could not afford to coine from abroad for the purpose of filling them. I have no hesitation tn saying that I beheve it impossid.e to ta- augtra(e a goverument upon that have heretofore abstained from any attempt to exercise the slightest influence over your actions. AS you will remember at the commencement of your session I even referred to yourseives t H returns and qualifi ions of members, leav you free to adopt such a course as you shou!d deem wise and proper. Now, however, my duty, tt woukc requires me to convey to you Whi e the effect of such a iaw, is practical bearing upon the political affairs of the country and upon the in- terests, if you please, of tlm party to which you be- Jong. That prov , if left in the constitution, will, T believe, be not only opposed to the wishes of y friends, but will be fatal toythe constitution perhaps fatal to yourseives. I cannot, of cours that all the other provisions, aside from ¢ such as I would have thought best and wises all the ci could say States, all being mises made be! in he result of compi en the opinions of a hundred or more men and may not in every particular please every one. But as far as I can see r coustitution in all essential particulars is neither better nor worse than the constitution of any of the States now in the Union. Whether the government estabiished under it will prove good or bad will simpiy depex the kind of men you elect to fillthe diteren If good men are sted you will Lave a good gov- ernment; if bad, you wiil certainiy ave a bad one. > ly 1s this true of the men you elect to form 1 legislatur That legisiature will have a work to do scar less important than that devolving upon this Convention, {ft will be necessary to modify the code of laws to cor- Tespond ‘witk the new order of political principles on which the constitution itself is based. ‘The man- ner in which ti works {3 to be done and also the necessity that may exist for future changes and the modes prescribed for making them should determine the quatifications of those elected to that body. Tsay, then, whatever your government organized under this constitution will be, a good or a bad, one ts to be determined by the quaiifications to carry it on. In this view of the c: have teft open the widest fieid from these men, and I have no doubt that bo! exert their utmost st “A and put fi and ablest mento inaugurate the new gov If this is done I see no reason whatever wh, may not at once enter and happiness, rapid f the men elected you should to choose parties will best ment.

I see no reason why, under a wise constitution, if inangurated and put in opera- tion throughout the State, she may not at once re- sume her proper place among the — sistei hood of States. Gentlemen, I wish you all success in your Iaudable aspirations, and especially in your efforts to restore Virginia to her place in the Union. Nothing will aiford me greater pleasure (and Thope the time is very near when [ can experiénce it), than to turn over to the constitutional represen- tatives of the people of Virginia tue power | now have the honor to exercise here, to salute with the title of Governor my successor and to tender to them and to him my cordial support in executing the laws: and in maintaining the supremacy of the civil gov- ernment. (Applause.) The General then withdrew, and Mr. Hine, author of the tron-clad proposition, ros@jand stated that the General was mistaken. Instead of thirty there would not be five officials on an average exciuded by it. An effort was then made to repeal the test oath, which gave rise to an exciting debate, the negroes to aman being violentiy opposed to it, whiie the more potable republicans favored it.’ The conserva- did not participate, and the motion was voted THE PRESS TELEGRAM.
