WASHINGTON. General Canby and the Construction of the Virginia Legislature. A Bold Stroke for Radical Spoils. THE PRINTERS’ TROUBLES. WASHINGTON, July 18, 1869. Geueral Canby’s Propesition fer Calling To- gether the Virginian Legislature. I learn to-day from a source in Richmond entitled to credit that General Canby has sent circulars to all the members of the Legislature elect asking each of them if they can quality by subscribing to the iron- clad oath, If he ascertains there is a auorum of both houses thus qualified he will issue hts proclama- ‘ion in about fifteen days announcing the result of the election and calling the Legislature together wo ratify the fiteenth smendment and elect United States Senators, The members unable to qualify would in this case remain ab sent until the constitution had been ratified by Congress and the State admitted, when they would present, themselves and qualify under the State constitution, from which the teat oath has been expunged, Should there not, however, be found a quorum able +o qualify by taking the test oath, the commanding general will then defer issu- tng bis proclamation, but will order new elections to Mil the sears which will be declared vacant by reason of inability to qualify as above. It is sup- posed there will be a quorumof both houses and ‘that the ultras will have a majority on joint ballot, which, in that event, would enable them to elect United States Senators. Governor Wells and L. H. Chandler, both defeated radical aspirants, would doubtless in this case be sent to the Senate, and one of the main fruits of the victory recently achieved would, by this artful arrangement, be snatched from the hands Of the liberal republicans; but should there not be a quorum the elections will scarcely alter the com- plexton of the Legislature, which now stands from the oficial returns as follows:—In the Senate, thirty white liberals and none colored, eight white pro- scriptionists and five colored; in the House, ninety- three white and three colored liberals, and twenty- three white and nineteen colored proscriptionists, making, on joint ballot, a liberal majortty of seventy- one.
