General's WHO ARK SXTirLKO TO RKOIATRATIOX. The following summary at t# who are entitled to vote, will be read with peculiar interest at thia time t 1. The oath preacribed in the supple* mental act defines all the qualifications Required, and every person who can lake the oath ia entitled to hAve hie name entered upon the list of voters. 2. The board of registration have no .authority to administer anv other oath to the persons applying for registration than this prescribed oath ; nor to administer any oath to any oilier person touching the qualifications of the applicant, or the falsity of the oath so taken by him. The act, to gua/d against falsity in the oath, provides that, if false, the person taking it hail be tried and punished for perjury. No provision is made tor challenging the qualifications of the applicant, or en< tering upon any trial or investigation ot his qualification*, either by witnesses or any other form of proof. 3. As to citizenship and residence. The applicant lor registration must be r citisen of the State and of the United States, and must be a resident of a conn ty included in the election district lie may be registered if he has heen such citi ten for a period less than twelve months at the time he applies for registration, hut be cannot vote at any election unlets his citizenship has then extended to the roll term of one year. As to such a person the exact length of his Citizenship should be noted opposite his hflttie on the list, so that it may appear on the day of election, upon reference to the list, whether the full term has than ha?n ?/</>ninr>1i.li?<1 4. An unnaturalized person cannot take this oath, but an alien who has been na turalized, can take it, and no other proot of naturalization can be tequire'd from hirtt. 5. No one who is not twenty one yearn of age at the lime of registration cati take the oath, for he must swear that be has then attained that age C. No one who has been disfranchised for participation Itt atty rebellion against the United Stales, or for felony committed against the laws of any State, or of the United States, can safely take this oath. The actual participation in a rebellion, or the actual commission of a felony, does not amount to disfranchisement. The sort of disfranchisement here meant is that which is declared bv competent authority, or which has been fixed upon the criminal by the sentence of the court which tried liim for the crime. No lew of the United States has declared the penafty of disfranchisement for participation in the rebellion Alone. Nor is it known that any such law exists In either of these ten States, except, perhaps Virginia, a* to which State special insttuc tions will be given. 7.*As to disfranchisement arising from having held office followed by participation in rebellion. This is the moat important part of the oath, and requires strict attention to arrive ftt its meaning. I deem it proper to give the exact wotdv TJ,fl applicant must swear or affirm as follows t "That I have never been a member of ftnv State Legislature, nor he'd anv txe cutive or judicial office in any State, and afterwards engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof; that I have never taken an oath as a member of Congress of the United States, or At an officer of the United States, or ah a member of ?nv State Legislature, or at an executive or judicial officer o t anv State to support the Constitution of the United States, and afterwards engaged in insurfrectiob rebellion against the United States, or given aid or cornfott to the one miea thereof.** Two elements must ftoneir in order to disqualify a person under the?e clauses; First, the office and official oath to support the Constitution of the United States; . second, engaging afterwards in rebellion. Both must exist to work disqualification, and must happen iu the order of lime mentioned. A person who has held an office and taken the oath to support the Federal Constitution, and has not afterwards en gaged in rebellion, is not disqualified ? So, too, a person who has engaged in rebellion, but hr*s not theretofore he'd an nflicA snit talrSfl |K?? Slalll la aal Jiaia.l! fled. 8. Officers of the United States. As to these the language is without limitation. The person who has at* any time prior to '.he rebellion held any office, civil or military, under the United States, and has taken an official oath to support the Constitution of lbs United States, is subject to disqualification. 0. Military office hi of any State, prio* to the rebellion, are not subject to dis qualification. 10. Municipal officers, that is to say, officers of incorjiorated cities, towns and Villages, such ss mayors, aldermen, town council, police, and other city or town office's, are not subject to disqualifies' tioo. 11. Persons who have, prior to the r* hellion, been members of the Congress of the United States, or members of a Stats Uegfolk'ar'e, are subject tfi disqualification But those who have been niertbere of conventions framing or amending the constitution of a Stale, prior to the rebel lion, lire not subject to disqualification. 12. Ail the executive or judicial officers Of any State who took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States are object to disqualification, and in these ! include county officers, sa to whom I made reservation in the opinion heretofore given. After full consideration I have arrived at the conclusion that they are object to disqualification if they were required to take as a part of their official tilth, the Oath to support lire Constitution of the United Slates. IS. Persona who exercised mere age* ciee or employment* under State authori* ty, are dot disqualified ; such as oommla *? aioners to lay out roads, commissioners of pcblle works, visitors of State institutions^ directors of Bute balks ok other State ia. alitutioos, examiners of bunk*, notaries public, commissioners to tak? ackuowli edgeiuents of deeds, and lawyers. KKO AQIK Q IN RIBILUOX. Having specified what offices hald by any one prior to the rebellion come wish in the meaning of the law, it ia necessary next to eel forth what subsequent conduct fixe* upod such person the offeree of engaging in rebellion. 1 repeat that two things must exist as to nnv person to His qualify him from voting : first, the otnee held prior to the rebellion, and afterwards, participation in the rebellion, 14. An act to fix upon a person the oflfauce of engaging >n rebellion undertint Ihw muni be en overt and voluntary net, done with the intent of aiding or further ing the comjnon unlawful purpose. A person forced into the rebel service by conscription, or under a paramount aui ihontv which he could not safely disobey, end who would oot have entered such service if left free to the exercise of his own will, cannot be held to be disqualided from voting. 15. Mere eels of charity, where the intent is to relieve the wants of the oh' ject of such charity, and not done in aid of the Cause in whi<4i he may have been engaged, do not disqualify. Hut organiled contributions of food and clothing for Hie general relief of persons engaged in the rebellion, and not of a merely sanitary character, hut contributed to enablfl them to perform their unlawful ol-ject, may be classed with acts which d?? disqualify. Forced contributions to the rebel cause, in the form of taxes or military assess ments, which a person may he compelled to pay or contribute, do not disqualify.? Hut voluntary contributions to the rebel cause, even such indirect contributions as arise from the voluntary loan of money to rebel authorises, or purchase of bonds or Securities created to afford the means of earrvincr on tha rahallion all wn.V J 1 ? M.o qualification. .16. All those who, in legislative or other official capacity, were engaged in , the furtherance of the Common unlawful , purpose, where the dutiea of the office tie cessarily lind relation to the .support of the rebellion, auch an member* of the rebel Conventions, Congresses and Legislatures, diplomatic agents of the rebel Confedera cy, and other officials whose offices were created for the purpose of more effectually carrying on hostilities, or whose duties appertained to (he support of the rebel cause, must be held to be disqualified. ttut officers who, dlirihg the renellion, discharged official duties not incident to war, hut only such duties as belong even to a State of peace, and were necessarv to the preservation of order and the administration of law, are not to he considered I as thereby engaging in rebellion or as dia , qualified. Disloyal sentiments, opinions, or sympathies would not disqualify, hut where a person has by speech or by writ ing, incited others to engage in rebellion, he must come under the dismialificaiion. 1 1?. Tlie duties of the Board appointed to superintend the elections. This hoard, li4vinvj the cu?to?!v of the list of regi?tered voters in ti<e^istr-ct for which it is constituted, must see that the name of the person otlering to vote is found upnH the registration list, and if I such proves to he the fact, it is the dutv of the hoard to recsive his vote, Thev , cannot receive in* vote of any person whose name is not upon the list, though 1 lie may be readv to take the registration 1 oath, and although lie mav satisfy them t that he was nrmb'e to have liis name* i registered at the proper time in conse | queiice of absence, sickness, or other cause. * The board cannot enter into any inqui 1 ry as to the qualifications of any person I whose name is not on the list.or as to the , qualifications of any person whoas name is on the list. 18. The mode of voting is provided in the act to be by ballot. The board will keep a record and poll'ho?k of the e'ec tion, show ing the votes, list of voters, and the persons elected by a pluralitv of the votea cast at the election and m?t? ??. turn* of the?e to the Commanding General of the District. 19. The hoard appointed for regi?tra lion and for superintending the elections, muat take the oath prescribed bv the act of Congress approved July 2, 1862, en titled "an act to prescribe an oath of office."

Since the issuing of the Attorney?Oen ^ eral'a opinion upon the Reconstruction ? laws of Congress, no little interest baa n been felt by the preaa ami the people, to r distinguish those classes that come under 1 the disqualification. The form in which the first document readied us, made it ac impossibility to arrive at anv definite con elusion, hence we gave what purported f, to he a correct synoptical statement of its f provisions, copied from our most able ex? i changes. The telegraph informs us, that ^ the Attorney-Oeneral was very much diet j pleased at the manner in which hia MS t had been muddled by the press ; and f, with a view or rendering more light upon H this important matter, lias issued a sup t plementsry etfttement, which will be * found ob another column of to day's pa ( per. The mane questions of doubt hereto* fore existing, are fully a*ul comprehensive J ly removed, and it now plainly appears s that nj man ia disfranchised or prohibited i from voting and holding office under the c reconstruction lawa, vrho did not hold a r Federal or executive, judicial or legists* i live office previous to the war. It makes f no difference how many offices he held t during or since the wat? or how much he fought for and aided the Confederacy, he ia entitled to rote unless he held office 1 previous to the commencement of the ' war. Members of rebel Convention*, ' t^onereeses ?r legislature*, are not dn qualified unlfM they had, previous to the I war, held a federal, executive, judicial or legislative office. Militia officers are not disfranchised. The President and CabinetA dispatch from Washington announces 1 that l!ie President and Cabinet approve ^ tbe opinions of the Attorney?General in regard to the powers of military com' menders and the qualification of voters. The approval was unanimous except Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, who objected lo certain section*. ^ The opinion was expressed thst law ^ rers who participated in the "rebellion" were disqualified, but it was finally agreed u hat tbey were not li At a subsequent meeting of the Cabi net the President announced ih>?t after l' r.ill deliberation, lie concurred with th* 11 mNjo*riiy upon those section* of the snmi mary of the Attorney General to which t the Secret^rv of War expressed hi* dial R sent, and that he concurred with theCah- * inot upon those aectioua approred by a f unanimous vote. That a* it apDeared that the Military Commanders entertain | ed douhta upon the points covered by the ? summary, mid as their action hitherto has not been uniform, he deemed it proper? * without further delay, to communicate in c a genetal order to the respective Corn manders the poiuts set forth in tile sum* mary. t Sheriffs Costa- r 4 At a meeting of several of the Sheriffs of this Stale held in Columbia about three c weeks ago, resolutions were adopted, pray* ' irfg that Gen.
