Opinion of tho Attorney General. 1 [CONOLUl>KD."j legislative Act, in derogation of an existing right. It is. in effect, a jaw which takes awny an oxisting right as a consequence of nets done ftt a prior Umo, and which, at tho limo they Wore done, entailed no such consequences, iii tho late cuso before thc Supreme Court of thc United States upon tho teat oath prescribed hy an Act of Congress to bo l iken by lawyers, hy which tho exclusion from the right ta prac tico their profession was mady to arise from prior participation in thc rebellion, the court says : " As tho oath prescribed oaliiiot bc taken by these parties, the Actas against them operates ss a legislative decree of perpetual exclusion, and exclusion flinn any bf the pro fessions or any of tho ordinary avocations of life, for past conduct, can i ? regarded in un other light than as a punishment for such conduct. Tho exaction bf tho oath is th" mode provided for ascertaining the parlies up on whom the Act is intended lo operate, and, instead of lessening, incienses its objectiona ble character. All enactments of this kind partake of thc nature of bills ol' pains hud p : ? 11 - allies." Tho court further says tho depriva tion of any right, civil or political, previously enjoyed, may bo punished, tho circumstan ces attending and tho causes of the depriva tion determining this fact. The characteris tics of this clause of tho Acts aro thofofy.ro retrospectivo, ponai and primitive. Of course, thoro eau bo no question as to the rulo of con struction which is here to bo applied. Those who aro expressly brought within its opera tions cannot bo saved from its operations. Whore, from tho generality of terms of de scription, or for any other reason, a reasonable ujubt arises, that doubt is to he resolved against the operation of the law and in favor of thc voter. What Acts, then, within' thc meaning of tho law, make a party guilty o'." engaging in insurrection or rebellion against thc United Stales, or giving nid and comfort to the enemies thereof ? The language herc comprehends not only tho late rebellion, but every past rebellion or insurrection Which has happened in tho United States. So, loo, it comprehends every foreign war in which tho United Slates has at any timo boen engaged' The first part bf the sentence covers cases ol domestic war existing in Ihe fore) ol' rebellion or insurrection, whilst the last part applies t< foreign war. The words "giving aid nm comfort to tho enemies ol' (he United States ' nrc tho same used in tho constitutional d?fini tion of treason, and the enemies doro mean! must bo taken to bc foreign enemies. Titos? words, originally found in tho enrly statute.1 of England against treason, have received thal settled interpretation iii Knglish and Ainori can coutts. They aro used in this Act with out any qua'.ii'n-ation. and we give them full force and application win ti they are made to apply to adh?rence or -riving nid and comfort ty loreign enemies. Such an Aol, us to thc breach of the oath or duly of iilloirianco, stands upon tho same policy of disqualification as en gaging in rebellion or civil war. A person, therefore, who gave aid and comfort to our en emies in tho war with Grout Britain in 1813, and in thc war with Mexico in 18*17, would in that particular, come within this clause. In laying down this rule, 1 do not forgot that, for certain purposes, and in n certain sense . every citizen in the rebel States, (hiring lin late rebellion, is to bo considered a public Ct) erny as in respect to tho liability of his prop crt)' lo capture as a prize of war, and in rc snoot to various Acts of Congress passed du ring tho rebellion, which, ns tb property, do clan; its liability to capturo, forfeiture, or con fison tion, when used in aid of thc Into rebid lion. But whenever, in any of these Acts ol Congress, those terms, " aid and comfort," arc used in any other than thc commonly re ceived acceptations, some qualification or de scription is added to make thom apply to thc rebellion. Nevertheless, although L strongly incline to think that the "aid and comfort" here mentioned should strictly bo confined tn its acknowledged legal interpr?tation, I nm not quito prepared to say that Congress tuny not have used it as applioahlc lethe rebellion. I shall therefore allow it due. weight in tho next, inquiry in giving construction lo thc clause now ti) bo considered. Wo aie now to inquire wind is meant by engaging in insurrection or rebellion uga lust the United States. The force of tho term bj engage carries the. idea of active rather than passive conduct, and of voluntary rather than pf compulsory action. Take as un instance a rebel soldier compelled to service by force of conscription. Take ns ntolh?r instance thc case of a slave, who, by l.to command ?d' hts master, or by military order, has served in tho ranks or nidol in the construction of military works. It would bc an abuse of language In 'hold that iii these instances tho parties en gaged in rebellion within the menning of that word aa used in this law. But whilst, in my opinion, a conscript or slave forced into thc . ranks or othor military service, is not inclu dod, it does not follow that other classes than thoso who actually levied war and vol u rt ta ri I) joined thc ranks of thc rebels are to bo exclu ??od. Tithing it to be clear that in the sonst of tho law persons may have engaged in thc rebellion without having actually levied war bi talton nrms, all tliQS? who, in legislativo o? othor official capacity, were engaged in tin furtherance of a oom men unlawful purpose or persons who, in their individual cnp??ily have done, any overt net for tho purpose o promoting tho rebellion, may well be said, ii the menning of Ibis law, " lo have outrage in tho rebellion." All persons who, duthil, tho rebellion, neted In no official onpneit .where tho duties of oOice necessarily hfid rc lation to the suppovt of thc rebellion, such a members of tho rebel Legislatures and robt Congress, and rebel conventions, diplomat! agents of thc rebel Confederacy, or such ollie officials whoso duties moro especially npp?i tftinod to thc support of tho rebel Ca uso, nm ho held to como within tho terms of exclu sion Officers in thoso rebel States who, during th rebellion, discharged official duties not inc dont.to'war, hut in the. preservation of ord c. and administration of law, fire not. to be cot sidorcd ns thereby engaging in rebellion. Tho interests of hutnnnity require sue officors' for tho performance of such oflicii conduct in timo of war or insurrection ns wo ns ib Hmo of peace, nnd tho performance ( such duties oin nov?f bo considered as erl in nal. I onnnot bring myself to tho conclusk thnt Congress could have moant that sue purely civil and ncocssnry offices involved ll incttmb^Qt. in tho guilt. Nothing but tl most cogent languago, suchas was used i tho test oath for lawyers, eould mnnifost sue a pnrposo. Tho Sdpremo Court, iii eonstn yig that tost on Mi, nnd in rofcrenco to tl /A-wlijoh ? linvo alluded, uses this loi , . ^lS^',ftcccp.tnncc sV'bmso applies to- tl iii < oflicos created for tho purpose-of more clleo tmlly oar ry lng on hostilities, but. also of any of those offiocs willoh are required in every oouiniuuity, whet! In peace or war, for the administration of justice and preservation of Ol'dor? I lind no such purpose in tho uso of any of tho terms of the act now under consid eration. 1 nm accordingly of opinion that holding a simple judicial office or other exec O??tivo olllces, or public employments, as are ' of purely civil character, such as County I olliees, municipal offices, and all others of like nature which were not created for the purpose ol'molo effectually currying on hostilities,"und which did md involve tho performance of du ties expressly in furtherance of the r?bellion, do not, within the menning Of this part of the oath, lix on the incumbent tho guilt of oil gaging in the rebellion. Ko much for official participation. 1 now recur lo what amounts to individual participation in tho rebellion. In thoalloiupt lo arrive at classes Of persons or of acts in tended to bo comprehended in the matter of engaging in rebellion, we must have duo re gard to the subject mat ter. Undoubtedly, al though every rebellion against the United .'talos is comprehended, it is tho late rebel lion which almost, if not altogether, can bo said to ho tho proper subject matter-a rebel lion which extended over eleven .States of tho Union, involving moro or lens utillionn of ihu ' p'-"<.'K , O'JU'.ilJUillg t\jl i.iv,ii: tin... t'o-.r j o o ri? and maintained by vast military authority, which, tts to all these people for a time, and tis to most of them during its oontiuuuuce, ex cluded them from all protection under tho. lawful Government, Thc obligations of alle giance when thus separated from tho corres ponding right of proteotlbh and tho breach of thal, allegiance are necessarily modified. Un der ru-'h oircum.daneos, tho obligation is less stringent, and n broach of that obligation less reprehensible than in oases of temporary or local insurrection. Nor mus! wo forget that throughout tha.so rebel States there wore large classes of their population more or less opposed to tho rebellious movement, and who were yet more or lesa necessarily involved in il* sup port. I have already said thal tho language used in this act as lo participation, carries thc idea of voluntary participation, and I nut bat ?.Ti td that these considerations, growing nut of tho nature of tho rebellion, induced Cnn gross to use tho word " engage " in the sens? of voluntary participation. Wio-n an ?tenir rectum, by ?is continuance and power, lake; the form of a de Junto Government, and lire scribes and enforces laws over people ivilhii ?ts territories, individual rights and obliga lions undergo an inevitable modification, am tho rightful and displaced authority, when i conn's again into place, must, in a measure accommodate its net i ti to circumstances, ant consider many things as rightfully done which in a mere iusurn etion, would have no color ol legality. T'ois principi? is recognized by al civilized nations -, has huon especially enfurece in Kligland by statutes, and by tho decision! of courts as early as ?lie reign of Henry V 11 Obedience to thc ile fueio (jovcvnnie.nl estab Hshcd hilder a usurping monarch has beet held not to involve the subject in the guilt 0 treason to Ibo ! iwful hing. Giving due weigh to t lioso well established principles, 1 proeeoi with tho inquiry. 1 am of tho opinion tba some direct overt act, done with tho intent t further the rebellion, is necessary lo bring th poly within the purview lind meaning of titi ?aw. Merely disloyal sentiments or ox pres sinus aro not sufficient. Tho person applying for registration is not required to clear him self from tho taint of disloyally. 'I he mean ingot' Congrovs. herc becomes yet moro ovi dent. When wo loo li tit tho last clause of tin prescribed oath, he i.s required to swear tba ! ho will faithfully support t ho Constitution ant obey the laws of the United States, and will tv) tho best of bis ability, encourage others si lo .! i. This part of tho oath is not exculpa tory, but promissory, lt looks to tho future and not to tho past ; and tho purpose is hon manifest to omit, ns to tho right to vote, tin disqualification from the right to exercise of lice. Meie acts of common humanity am charity cannot bo considered ns involving lin pirty participation in tho rebellion. So too, are forced contributions by tho rebel nu ihorittes, ortho compulsory payment of taxe: ?o aid Of tho rebellious causo, lt would in volvo (he person, and il must work d'tsqunlili cut ion limier (?us law.

Tilt! lb?.\l!l> or Rl?OISTRATION.-Tiie orig inn! Aol contains no provision as to the tuan lier and lime ol' holding an ?lection of deb; gates t ) a convention, or ratification of a con stitulion framed by that convention, or lb other purposes. The first section of the sur plOmontal Act provides that a registration c voters shall be made beforo tho 1st of Ser tnnjbor, 1St17. Tho fmirib ?ort unhsootlOf] sections provide for tho moans by which tin registration is to bo i ?Tected. Thc oom mani ing general is directed to appoint ss man boards of registration ns may lie noeessar; Consisting of three loyal officors or persons, I make and complete Ino regis!ration, superb lend the election, and make return to him i votes, li.'d:-- of voters, atv; of persons elected i dologrtlos by a plurality of votes east, at sai election ; and upon receiving said returns, 1 shall open tho same, ascertain tho persoi I elected as ?? ?legatos, inspect the returns of tl I officers who OOIldltcl?d said election, mal ; proclamation thereof; and if n majority votes given On thal question shall bo fora co vontion, tho commanding general, within si ! ty days from dato of election, shall notify tl ' delegates to assemble in convention at a iii and place to bo mentioned in the notifie nt ?ni and said convention, when organized, sh; pro "ced to frame a constitution and ciyil g< eminent according to tho provisions'of tl Act and the Act lo which il ia supplemern ry j and when the same shall hft\'0 been framed, sod Constitution shiill bc submitt by tho eonvcujioii, for ratification, fo tho pi sons registered under the provisions of tl Act, nt an election lo bc conducted by office or persons appointed, or to h? nppoin'c 1, the commanding general, as hereinbefore p viib d, r.nd to be held after the OspilMttO?l thirty days from dato of notieo thereof, to j given by said convention, mid returns thor shall be mado to tho commanding general the district. Tho sixth section provides tl all elections in thc States mentioned in s "Act to provide for tho more efficient g crnmont of thc rebol State?'' shall, dur thc operation of said Act, bo by ballot, and officors making said registration of voters, f j conducting said elections, shall, boforo ont ing upon tho discharge of tholr duties, ti 1 anti subscribo to tho oath prcscriba^hy Act approved J uly 2,1802, entitled **\Au Act to prescribe an oath of office j" provided, that if any person shall knowingly and falsely take any oat li in this Act prescribed, such person, Oil conviction, hindi bo subject to tho pains, penalties and disabilities which, by law, aro provided for the punishment of Wilful and corrupt peijuty. The only oaths prescribed by this Act aro the oath to be taken by tho person applying for registration, and the oath to bo taken by tho persons composing tlio board of registra tion. Thc duties of thc board are, first, to make and complete tho registration and to superintend the elections. Thc first question is to tho duties and powers of tho board in making and completing tho registration. Thc first section provided that tho commanding general shall cause n registration (o be made of thc male citizena of tho United ?States twent y-one years of age and upwards, resident ! in each County or Parish in tho State or States 1 included in his district, which registration shall inoludo only thoso persons who are qual ified to vote for delegates hythe Act aforesaid, and who " shall have taken the following ont li Of affirmation." Hy [hisoath, tho person ap plying for registration must swear or affirm i to every qualification provided forby tho orig- 1 in:'.1 Act. Tho first question which arises ? hero is whet her any other oath can bc required ot tho person apuvjri?>? ?v. ..r,:.i.^f-i,.*-. ?*".y nUtnrcd to '.?oy'ul her person ot persons touching tho qualifications of tho applicants by thc board of registration. Tho last clauso Ot' tho first section provides as fol lows : " Which oath or affirmation may bc ad ministered by any registering officer." The oath herc referred to is thc oath to bc taken by the person applying for registration. 1 have vory cnrefully examined all thc provis ions of this Act, and 1 can find no authority for any other oath to be taken by any one touching the qualification of the applicant for registration, but only this oath. 1 am clearly of opinion that any other oath touching thc qualifications of the applicant would be extra judicial lind without authority, and that false ' suvealin?; could not be assigned as perjury up ; on such unauthorized oath, especially as the 1 proviso to tho sixth section, above quoted, j which declares what false swearing shall ! amount, to perjury, is expressly limited to " nn'v oath in this Act prescribed." On arriving at this conclusion, 1 have giv en due. weight to that part of tho first section Of tho Act which declares that the registra tion snail include only those persons who " uro nullified lo volo for delegates by the aforesaid," and who " shill have taken thc following oath." If wc road these words by themselves without regard to the other pro visions of the Act ii. pression is made that two things most occur to authorize the registra tion of tho applicant : First-That he actu ally possesses the qualifications required by j thco'iginal Act, and find that he is required by this oath to swear to every one of these qualifications, and that no authority is any-j where given to enter upon any other inquiry a>> to Iiis qualifications, or to administer any other oath to him, or any ot her person, touch ing qualifications, and that his oath, and his oath alone, is piinishe 1 with perjury, lt ls impossible to resist thc cmiclnsion that the oath itself is the solo and only test of tho qualification of thc applicant. When therefore, a person applies to the board for registration, the power of the board is con fined to the administration of the proscribed oath ; and if tho iqiplictll.lt takes that, his name must go upon the regi <(er. The board cannot euler upon tho inquiry whether ho has sworn truly or falsely. That inquiry must be re served to the court, which may afterwards have jurisdiction to Irv him on an indictment I'm1 perjury. Next to the duties of tho board after thc registration is completed, they are to superintend the election and make returns (d'tho votes, list ofvotors and of the persons elect? il, to the comm Hiding general, lt, ? very cleat- from these provisions that, in sn perinteuding these eic (ions the duty ol' the hoard is to receive tin volt's of the persons whose names are upon thc registration, ami to reject all others. There is no provision to surcharge or falsify, or to add a single name to the registration, or to erase a .single name which appears upon it. fifi N uny, .May 'Jil.-Notwithstanding dec ela rat ions to the contrary, i' is thought the Covet -liment will not, carry into execution the death sentence of tho Pen ?a ll prisoners.
