Convicted of felony, or 2. Members of any State Legislature, or 8. Executive or judicial officers of any State, or 4. Members of Congress of the United States. And have not afterwards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. If they have been convicted of felony they are disfranchised. ' if they are included in either of the three last of the above four classes, and, after the holding of office, gave any voluntary did to the rebellion otr took lany yoluntartpart in it, they are dis. franchised. h' they did not hold any of the offices named''.t, b ave not been convicted ol felony, they-ae niot disfranchised, wheth. er they did or dt ' ot give aid to the re bell ion or take part the war against the United States. If they did hold any ol' the offices named, but did not engage in the. rebel lion against the United States or give sid or comfort to the South, they are not disfranchised. 1f they did hold any of'the offices name and did not engage in rehellion: or give aid to -the South aftet such holding office, they are not disfranchised, although be fore such hoiding office they may have engaged in rebellion or given aid to the South.' In-Virginia the following are regarded as executive or judicial officers within the meaning of the act: "Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Sec retary of State, Auditor of Public Ac counts, Second Auditor, Registrar of the Land Office, State Treasurer, Attorney General, Sheriff, Sergeant of a city or town, Commissioners of the Revenue, County surveyors, Constables, Overseers of the Poor, Commissioners of the Board of Public Works, Judges of the Supreme Court, Judge of the Circuit Court, Judge of the Court of Hastings, Justices of the County Courts, Mayor, Recorder and Aldermen of a city- or town, Coroners and Escheators, Inspectors of Tobacco, Flour, &c., Clerks of the Supreme, Dis tricf, Circuit aid County -Courts, and of the, Courts Qf IlIustings, Attorneys for the Commonwealth."

What is Our Du:y F MESSRS..EDITORS :-At the conclusion 'f an artic!e, publishcd in a former number Ff your paper on the subject which heads this, I stated that you might hear,froi-me again. Since-that article was written I have scarcely had the,heart to resume - the- subjecL the evidences of indifference in relation- to "the -great issue now pending, -and soon to- be decided, which I see all around me, are so plain that I h 're almost despaired of any good resulting from anyargutneut or appeal that can be made, to awaken the people to Ihe momentous consequences which will result from the course wh.ich.hey :ay tike. This sup:u~etcss-this apaThy which pre rails, is to me a bad omen. I can well undetstand why the people should be die ceuiaged-disheartened as to the future IU.is dark 'and forbidding indeed. But it niay become darker-more forbidding. It certeinly will,unles the people arease them selves aad'-make anefort to ptovide against dangers ahead. Nothing cs be gained by naetion, by lying "_upinely oo oar tacks" and "huggingo the delusive jhantoi'- of hove."

Ah but it Is said, this was all done under political necessity. What political neces sity? Because the State would not be restored to the Union unless these thingi had been done. This is what President Johnson and Gov. Perry told us. Ther it was, that, no concession too ample, n< submission too humble and penitent, or in volving sacrifices too great or wrongs to< flagrant, could be made In order to secure a .restoration of the State to the Union. The Convention and the Legislature, whiach-were convened under the provisional gover-nment were both told to do this,.-and -to do that and you will be received with open arms a' Washington by the powers that be. "Blind leadin" the blind, they both fall into the ditch.'? Never was proverb more literally fulfiled. Johnson apnd Perry both have proved poor prophets, not as good even al the oracle of Delphi But the point I would fi the readers attentiozn upon is, this: what consistency ia there ina the argument of Gov. Perry, that to participate in the execution of the reconstt ction measures of Congress is dishonorabm and degrading, because these measures are unconstitutional, wrong and unjust, when we have already submitted to, or acquiesced in measures~- of the very same character, and that too, under his counsel and advice. I have not enumer ated all tdie acts of wrong and injustice that we have submitted to since the close of the war. They would fill your paper from be and disgraced as a people?. If not, then we must look for some other definition of the word honor. It is urged that the extension of the right of suffrage to the negro is an insult and a wrong. Grant it-does he.not enjoy this franchise in the present condition of things. Nay more, does he not have the right to hold office and to sit upon our juries? By the military authorities he. has been made the peer of the white man in the Courts, and I see in the papers that in North Carolina, the trial by jury, the great bulwark of liberty, has been abolished, be cause the orders or that subject from [lead Quarters had not been carried out. Is it dishonorable to submit to this condition of things? I am no advocate of universal suf frage: It was an outrage and a.wrong to invest the negro race with this right. Ti ey have not the capacity to exercise it intelli gently. They will be liabje to be made the dupes of base and designing demagogues. The effort is now being made to delude them and' lead them into a party organization which is hostile to the white men of the South, and the object of which is, to rob them of the last vestige of their liberties. The ignorant negro may be mislead now, but the ine wil come when he iill rue the day when he arrayed himself in a hossile political attitude towards his only true friends-towards those whose interests are his interests. Emmisaries are being sent here, not to ameliorate his condition, not to elevate him in the s:-ale of being, nor to devise measures for tie protection of his rights, b.. or the purpose_of strepgthening a party-to secure its percianeut. ascendan cy in the country that a few aspirants for office may enjoy, and .have the disposal of "the loaves and the fishes.? It is not the good of tre-negro they .e.;k, but political power. "bey wish to n::e him now. for party pt. toses, as he was used during the war for military purpor.s.

FAIR PLAY. IEzersTE.-There is one thing that we desire to catl the attention of all our read ers to, and that is, that the mere act of availing themselves of the privilege of reg istration does not commit them to an en dorsement of the reconstruction Acts, or to votir'g for a convention. It is simply ari act of qualifieation, conferring upon thems the right to vote as they please on the ques tions to issue. They should bear in mind that, having registered, they can vote for or against a convention, can inlect their mes to represent them in that body, and can vote to adopt or reject the constitution it -may submit for their approval. This is an important point for those qual' fled to consider. The. mere registration ol their name; does not commit them one way or the othet, and, indeed, if they choose, they may refuse to vote at alL. But, by registering, they will have secured that op' tion, whereas the neglect to do so precludes them from exercising their judgment at the ballot-box of either men or measures, and disqualifies them from voting for or against -either, so long as. these laws are in force. Register, then, if vou do not go near the ballot-box, and thus preserve to yourselves the highest pritilege confered upon the citizen.-Columbia P'honix. -A German and his wife were arrested in the Paris Exposition,- the former charged with fraudulent bankruptcy. -They were searched.

IMPORTANT.-The absenCe of a pronmi- V nent citizen from town for the past month, ~ gave rise to inquiries as to where he had gone, and for what purpose. Gonjecture was at fault. We are happy to state that he has returned,,-and has given a satisfactory explanation as to the charac ter of his employment during the period mentioned. Instead of idly rusticating at some one horse railr-oad station, specula ting in chickens and melons, or at some second rate watering place, enjoying the 3 game of knucks, tag, or mumble-the-peg, as-his well-known proclivities led us to C suppose, he has been stirring around C loosely with "beef on the brain" and has purchased and gathered together a fine a drove of fat beeves for market. We look c upon him 'as a perfect benefactor, in that his object is to bring down the price of e stock, and considering the high prices ni which are demanded for the article by s our retail beef merchants, our "citizen" is enititled to the eminent gratitude of tl this much abused community.
