While ice reserve to ourselves the right of defi ning our own political position by means of our editorial columns, ire will he ph ased to publish contributions from our fcllnw-citiucns upon the grace questions which now agitate the public mind, whether their opinions coincide with ours or not. ' A district new.tpopcr, ire eoiisidi r. should be an index of the curious shades of pop ? ular sentiment in the section of country in which it circulates. Our coin inns are open, therefore, for any communications properly written, accom panied by a responsible name, not personal in their character, nor absolutely injurious in their tendency. The Registration Programme In our lust issue, we gav? our views upon the plan pf Reconstruction ? and the Opinion of the Attorney General has since been ptt?22iu'" gated, which has furnished a definite solution of a few of the difficulties connected with the in terpretation of tho Acts of Congress. It is a pity that ho has burled his views in such a waste of words, that one has to pick out tho material points, very much as n gardener would try to separate cabbage and turnip seeds iu u promis cuous pile. Fortunately, he has simplified the whole matter in one respect ; and that is. in defining the duties of Registers. They are simply to sec that no man his name registered until he takes a certain oath, and that no man is refused the privilige of registering, who is willing to take that oath. This throws the responsibility upon each one for himself, and avoids the un pleasant stato of affairs which has transpired at Now Orleans, where radical Registers hud it all their own way, and cheated by tli. wholesale in favor of their own party. Wo worked several hours over Mr. Stan berry's mass of words; and after various in effectual efforts to condense his Opinion into a size suitable, for our limited space, and to clothe his news in language more intelligible to our readers, we gave up the Herculean task; and instead of any condensation, we publish the admirable synopsis id'the document, which we clip from the Charleston Mercury of Wed nesday last. ? ? . -a?? [FOR TIIK OilANCiEHUItO NKWS.] Voting. ) The apostles of negro suffrage, have no doubt achieved a great.work ami marked an era of the nineteenth century, that will adorn tho an nals of history for the philanthropic gaze of all future generations. They have forced upon jthe black man, a privilege he has never sought, find now demand as the price for exercising it, (his vote in return. Selfish men from the North have taken it upon themselves to come South, J[to .warn the poor frccdmcn how be makes use of this sacred privilege?to tell him that Congress will not suffer itself to be cheated out of his vote, thus leaving him to infer, that Congress gave, and that Congress can take away; and that* if he'does not vote for this particular party or that particular party, the probability is that he may be yet disfranchis ed. When feudalism was in vogue in Furope, if the lord or superior, erected a mill, all the vas sals of his domain were restricted to have their grain ground at it, for which thoy paid toll, and jthus was wrested from them a tax for tho service they were compelled to receive.

But the froedmon have the snbstanco and not its shadow. They have the right to vote and to vote for whom they please, and tho threats of designing men can nevor be put iuto execution and divest them of this right.

The question then is, what party shall thoy vote for 'I The answer we think, is this,? i - Kor tho party that lives among them, that jenows their condition, their wr-uts aud interests..' tud that will act for their welfare.

J'avsan m Synoptical Statement of the Opinion qf the Attorney-General upon the Claustft of the Military Acts Referring'to Yoti ing and Holding Oflice. ' . #} ~~ \ The following is a synoptical analysis of the opinion of Attorney-General Slanberry, whifc-qf will be found in full in another column : Jt ?11 IST II ATI OX, 1st. Qualification or disqualification is fix< by registration. 2d. No power is given to any other board or any other authority, after registration is com pleted, to change the registers ; and persons whose names are admitted to registration arc entitled to vote and none others. yd. The registration must be completed be fore September 1, lStlT. At that time, the functions of the board as a board of rogislia tion censo, and after that, its duties arc limited to holding and superintending elections and making the required returns. QUALIFICATIONS FOll uK'ilsTItAVION'. 1. One year's residente in the State at the time. of registration is not necessary; l>tu> il "' person who has been duly registered has not at the holding of any subsequent election be_oj?rft. resident of the .State for one year, counting from the day of that citation, the poison so registered cannot " otc ai such election. 2. By the acts, the qualification to regis!ra tion is citizenship of the United States and of the State; the phrase being intended to in clude only such as are both eitir.ons of the United States and of a State. Alien.- nut citi zens of the United States, cannot safely take tho. required oath ; but the hoard of registra tion hare only authority to administer the. pre scribed otdh and cannot require further proof, so that an alien not n citizen may take the oath at his peril and subject to prosecution. 51. No person is entitled to registration who is not twenty-one years of age ",; //,?, day that he applies for registration. IIIS F U A NCIIIS K * 11: >. T. Under the Military acts, the following causes work disfrauchiscincnt : Treason or participa tion in rebellion; commission of a felony,; membership of any State Legislature, or tenure of any executive or judicial oflice ill any State, with subsequent engagement in insurrection or rebellion, or the giving of aid and comfort to any enemy of the United States; the taking of an oath, as a member of Congress or officer of the United States or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State to support the Constitution of the United States, with subsequent engagement in insurrection or rebellion against', or the giving of aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. Upon these grave questions, the Attorney-General offers the following opin ions; but it -vill always be borne in mind that the exclusion as to holding oflice is all compre hensive as to time, and applies, not only to those who were in oflice. when the rebellion commenced, but to those who held the pro hibited offices at any previous time, although they may have ceased to hold such office an in definite number of years prior to the rebel lion : 1". TUKASON Oil FELONY. The commission of felony or the participa tion in rebellion does not of itself work tlis fratichiscmcnt. It must be ascertained by judgment of court or legislative net passed by competent authority ; and Hie disfranchisemcnt depends on a conviction in the courts either of the United States or of a State, or on ?? decla ration of the laws of either. Tho United States laws do not work disfranchisemcnt, as a consequence of conviction of treason or con spiracy to commit treason; nor iu the ten Southern States is there any statute in force except, perhaps, in Virginia, which declares disfraiichiscmcnt by force of the act itself. So that in this State, disfranchisemcnt for treason or felony depends absolutely upon a previous con viction of the offence in the State or the Federal ('ourts. 2. .M EM 11 F.HS OF STATE LEO IS LA 'IT D ES AM) MKMnnas of commiess. All members of Southern State Legislatures and members of Congress who, afterwards, en gaged in insurrection or rebellion, or ?ave aid p 1 '?"^^^^^^^^hb^^^^^"-" or comfort to the cnouiies of tho United States, ore clcarl&.disfrauchiscd. All .members of legislative jtfodics which passed ordinances of secession aro disfranchised; but It is jdoubtful whether simple membership of-a convention 'held for the solo purpose of. amending the con stitution of u State, .would, in itself, work dis franohiscinent. ? 3: STATE, EXECUTIVE Oil JUDICIAL OFFICERS All militia officers, as such, are not disfran chised, fis they arc not included in tho .terms "executive and judicial officers'of a State." The Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, State Au 'ditbr, Treasurer, Secretary and State officials proper, who exercise functions at the scat*of government, and State Judges of courts whose jurisdiction extends over the United States, are disfranchised; but the Attorney-General is not prepared to say that only tho. foregoing come within the term "executive and judicial offi cers." Municipal officers, such as officers of cities, towns, villages and subordinate municipal di visions, whether their- functions are executive or judicial, or both, are not, as such, disfran chised. In addition to those officers before mentioned, .who clearly do or do not come within the term of the act as to "judicial or executive officers," there remains a vast number of officers whose sfcitus is undefined. These are known as coun ty, township and precinct officers, Tho At toruoy-General is collecting information con cerning this class, which includes sheriffs, and justices of the county courts, and will issue a further opinion with regard to them. All other executive and judicial officers who are not. in popular language, characterized as county officers, do. in the opinion of Mr. Stan berry, come under the disqualifying clau.se. Persons who exercise or exercised special or occasional public duties, are not included.as State officers, and such as the following are. then-fore, not disfranchised; commissioners of public works, directors *of State asylums, visi tors of State universities. State directors of banks or other corporations, special eouinunis sioncrs or agents appointed by State authority, to perform special duties as examiners of banks. Notaries Public, and Commissioners of Deeds. 4. OATll.S or OFFICE. Any person who has taken an oath of office to support the Constitution of the tftntcd States and hau violated that oath and engaged in rebellion, is.disfranchised. This clause, as far as the executive or judicial officers of a State are concerned, does not enlarge the class subject to disfranchisciucnt, because the officer lire:1.):inu the oath, must also be "a judicial or cxcO'.ttive officer" f?f a Stuto. according to the .rule hcreiijbcforb wentionetl. '' bus. u luHithi offn er or a Notary Public, who bad taken th: said oath, would not be disfranchised under this clause, because lie is not held to be a , . .i,1 iudicial or executive officer. All officer:' of the United States, both civil arid military, Wie. lUvc violated their oaths, arc if.. tVHiVnchiscd. ( ?. km;a<;::?<; in i.nsi ititF.CTlo*.' '*H i-Knr.i. l.ioN and <;;vi.\?; All. am? Cu.MFOTFi*. ThcH\ without concurrent holding of one of the designated' offices, accompanied by the taking of the oath of office, do not work dis franchisement. The two elements must con cur, ami iu order mentioned, for a person who has iie'.d a designated office and had taken the oath ami had not iiflenntrtfs participated in a rebellion, may safely take the registration oath. The clause, hov vor, eonnirciiends ecrry re bellion which has taken place in the United States; ami crery foreign war iu which the United States has ever been engaged. A per son, therefore, who gave aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States in the war w ith Great IJritian of 1812, or i:i the war with Mexico iu IS 17, would be disqualified. All persons who did any overt act, cither individually or officially, or in a civil or milita ry capacity, in furtherance of or for the pur pose of promoting the uebcllion, did. under the law, engage in rebellion. Soldiers compelled to service by conscription, and slaves serving or aiding by the command of their masters, or by military order, did not "engage in rebellion." are not disfranchised. Officers who. during the rebellion, discharged official duties not incident to the war, but in preservation of order and administration of law. arc not to be considered as engaging in rebel lion. This applies to all offices of a purely : civil character, such as county and municipal Office?, and all others of like nature, which were not created for the furtherance of the war or the more effectual carrying on rd'hostili ties. Some direct overt act. done with intent to further the rebellion, is necessary to bring the parly within the provision and meaning of the law; and the person applying fur registra tion is not, therefore, required to clear himself from any taint of disloyalty incurred by mere disloyal scut intents or expressions. Merc acts of common humanity or charity are not participation in rebellion, nor arc forced contributions or the compulsory pay ment of (axes in aid of the rebellion ; but vol untary contributions, .subscriptions to loans, and even organized contributions of food or clothing or necessary supplies, except of a strictly sanitary character! tire to be classed with acts which disqualify. DUTIES AND POWERS OF It I'.ii ISTIt ATlON HOARDS. No other onth can be required of, or admin, istered to any applicant for registration but that contained in the supplementary act. Any other would be extra-judicial and without au thority, and I also swearing could not be as " . 1 i ??- .-.k : t. i.., signed ns perjury upon such unauthorized oath:;-. I ? ?No authority is given to outer ?pou any outside inquiry into tho qualiucatiou . bf the person proposing to register, for'the ?jathit self is the splc aud only test of the.quali|[cntton of tho applicant. If he take that oath Jus name must go upon the registry; the' board cannot inquire whether he has sworn falsely or truly; that inquiry must be reserved to the court which may afterwards have jurisdiction to try hifn on an indictment; for perjury. In superintending the elections it is tho duty of the boards to receive the votes of the persons whoso names arc up for registration, and to reject all others. There is no provision anywhere to surcharge or falsify, or to add a single name to the registration, or to erase a single name which appears upon it. [ Charleston Mercitrg.~\ [From the Sunitcr Watchman.] Mass Meeting of Frcedmen. A large concourse of Froedmen of Suniter District assembled, twelve miles North of Sunder, and near Mcohniiicsvillc. on .Saturday, IIth inwt. The exercises were begun with singing and prayer by llcv. William Timmons. (colored1.) J. W. Wcsberry, (colored) was then called upon and addressed the meeting as follows: fallow Citizens; Remember that the strength of the Nation lies in the virtue, industry, loyalt y and courage of its citizens: Wc must try to vindicate the hopes of our friends, and prove ourselves worthy of the privileges to which we have been admitted. We gained just praise for our admirable conduct during the war. Let (he history which shines so brightly upon us as slaves, shim1 still brighter on us as frcedmen.?We till now have the "right of voting, and this right finds a great many of us not prepiircd for the execution. Rut I have no objection to this right. It belongs to freed men. We will be called on next mouth to register our names as voters. Next will be to vote for can didates to a State CVuivention, to adopt a Con stitution for our State. The question is now. who are we going to elect ? Now I am. going to express my views frankly. To this Convention we must send good men. and the men that we have been raised with?because our interest is theirs. If we go down, they go dov.n. and if they jio down, we will go to the devil. It will never d > in tin: world to semi strangers to at tend to home business. Legislation that would ba productive iu one country, would be serious (o another.

Do away with ,>il old things and take up new relations. And let us build up this broken down country. We must work with honest men and deal with them.?There ire bad men iu all races These white people (ell us they are our friends. Well, now is the time to try them in the beginning. And if their friend ship should fail it would not hurt any body. Let me advise you na a friend to pre s'Tve at all times the utmost moderation of language, temper and conduct?avoid every thing like violence, and educate yourselves. The prosperity of the South is associated with tin* harmony and good feeling which should exist between both races. The white race of the South is obliged to be interested in (he ed ucation, industry, thrift and progress of their colored population. Iu this mutual depen dence lies the security of all. Some talk of strangers to legislate for us. When you think-of that, think of the tax on cotton. And who has that tax to pay? Why you field hands, that comprise the greater por tion of the colored population id'the South. Wo are very poor, and we must adopt the best mode for our elevation. Industry can overcome all the evils iu our way. We must quit this plan of moving about every year. Get with some honest gentleman, and slay, until you get means of buying you little homes. Rut we will have to work night and day let alone whiskey and be honest. Some say that politics is our greatest danger. But I dispute that. The greatest evil that could befall us, is the failure iu a crop this year. That is our great, trouble. "We must keep on the look out for sharpers., whothor from tho North or South. Several things have come under my observation, which I do not like. 1 will mention one. I was at a meeting not long since, aud a white preached, and said ho. was the black man's friend. After the sermon, ho told the crowd if any wanted to get married, ho could marry them, but they must pay him two dollars. With mo, that friendship is over the loft. (Long cheers.)
