This case is covered in every particular by the decisions of this court in Cummings v. The State of Missouri, and in Ex parte Garland, reported in 4th Wallace. Upon the authority of those decisions the judgment of the Supreme Court of West Virginia must be REVERSED, and the cause remanded for further proceedings; and it is
SO ORDERED.
BRADLEY, J., dissented from the judgment, on the ground that the test oath in question was one which it was competent for the State to exact as a war measure in time of civil war.
