O?AHI?H OF-ATTORNEY GENERAL. [CONCI/UUKD?j ynust construe it lo be prospective, mid not votronclive. Otherwise it would take thc character ol' nu ex pout, facto hnv. There fore, in thc absence of any language which it gives the Act a retrospect, 1 do not hesitate to say it cannot apply to past offences. There is no legislative power given under thi.t military bill to establish a new criminal code. The authority given is to try.and pun ish criminals and offenders, nod luis proceeds upon the idea I hut crimes and offences have boen committed; bul no persou can bd ea lied n criminal or an offender for doing an net which, when dune, waa not prohibited by law. But, ns to tho mensur? of punishment, 1 regret to bc. obliged to S'iy Hint it is left alto gether to the military authorities, with only this limitation, (lint ibo punishment to be in hinted shall not bo cruel or unusual. The military commission may try the accused, lix tho measure of punishment, oven to the pen alty of death, and direct the execution ct tho .sentence, lt is only when tho sentence affects tho' " life or liberty " of thc person that it need bo approved by tho oom mandi ng gener al, and only in cases where it affects the life, of tho accused that it heeds also thc approval of thc President. Af*, to crimea or offences against thc laws of tho Unitod States, tho military authority cnn take rio cognizance of them, nor in any way interfere with the regular administration of justico by the appropriate Federal Courts. In tho opinion heretofore given upon other questions arising under these laws, 1 gavo nt large for your consideration the grounds upon which my conclusions were arrived nt, intend ing thereafter to slato theso conclusions in n concise and clear summary. I now proceed to execute that purpose, which is made espe cially necessary from tho confusion and doubt* whioh have arisen upon that opinion in thc public mind, caused in part by the errors ol the telegraph and tho press in ibs publication and in part hy thc inaptitude of thc genera reader to follow carefully tho successive arie dependent steps of a protracted legal opinion SU M M Alt Y. WHO A Fl K UNTITLED TO H KO 18Tu AT IO N '( 1. Thc oath prescribed in tho Suppletiven tal Act defines all thc qualifications requirod .and every person who can take that oath i entitled to have his name entered upon th list of voters. 2. Thc board of registration have no au thority to administer any other oath lo th person applying for registration than this prc ?cribed oath; nor to administer any oath t nny other person, touching the qualification of thc applicant, or the falsity of the oath s taken hy him. Thc Act, to guard ngaiiu falsity in thc oath, provides that if false, th person taking it shall bc tried and punishc for perjury. No provision is made for challenging tb ?qualifications of thc applicant, or ontcrin upon trial or investigation of his qualification either by witnesses or any other lorin of proo il. Ai to citizenship and residence. The applicant for registration must be citizen of tho Stato and of thc United State ?md must ho.a resident of a county iricludi in the election district, lie may bo registe regist rn fion," but"fi,6,1e:rilr/ril0l\ ior a Por'01^ l( tio'n unless his citizenship has 7hcn extenc? to the full term of one year. As to such person tho exact length of his citizens!, Should bo noted opposite his name on tho li so clint it mny appear on the day of clcctio upon reference to tho list, whether the fi terni has then been accomplished. 4. An uhnaturaliaod person cannot tal tins oath, but nn alien who has been natur* izel can take it, and no other proof of natl valuation cnn be required from him. 5. No one who is uot twenty-one years < ago nt thc time of registration ono take tl oath f?r ho must sweju, t])at ho has i} tamed thnt ago. 0. No one who has been disfranchised ft participation in any robollion against the U" ted States, or for felony committed against th laws of any State or of the United States, ca safely take this oath. The actual participation in ? - .aUl,lon? thc actual .commission 'of * Il5??ny? does no amount to disfrannj.-.."Jincnt. The sort of dis francliismo'?*- hero meant, is that which i.< .deufnred By law passed by competent author! ty, or which has been fixed upon tho crimina by the sentence) of thc court which tried him for the crimn. No law of thc United States has declared tho penalty of disfranchisement for participa tion in rebellion alone -Nor is'it known thal any such law exists in either of these ter States, oxcept perhaps Virginia, as to which State special instructions will bo given. 7. An to disfranchisement arisinr/ from having held of}u:c fol lo ic ct J Ly participation in rebellion. Tim IS tho most important part of the oath, and requires strict attention to arrive at it.? menning. I deem it proper to give thc exnet words. Tho applicant must swear or affirm ns follows : ? That I hnvo never been n member of nny State Legislature, nor held any executive oi judicial office in any State, and afterwards en gaged in an insurrection or rebellion against tho United States, or given aid or comfort to tho enemies thereof; tliat I hovo ncvor tnkon an, oath- as a member of Congress of tho Uni ted States, or ns nn officer of the United States, or ns a member of nny Stato Logiela turo, or ns nn executive or judioinl officer ot any. Stiitc, to support the Constitution of thc United Stn tes, .and afterwards engaged in in siirrootiqu cr. rebellion .against tho United States, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." Two olomonts must conouv in ore cr to dis qualify a person under these clauses : First, the office mid official oath to support tho Con stitution of tho Unitod"States; Second, en gaging afterwards in rebellion. Both must exist to work disqualification, and must hap pen in tho order of timo mentioned. A person who lins held an office and taken tlio oath to-support tho Federal Constitution, and lins not afterwards ongngcd'i'n rebellion, is not disqualified. So, too, n per?onwho lins ? opgnged in rebellion, but hos not heretofore hojd an office mid tnkon thnt oath, is not dis qualifie!. 8". Q?cers of the United Sta los. As to theso tho language is without limita tion. Tho por.mn who hns at any timo prior to tho rebol I iori held any offtco, oivil or milita ry, undor tho' United States, and har takon Jin official oath to support tho Constitution of tho Unitod ''States, is ?ubjoct lo disffjimlifion K Mffji. ,' '> - .:.

All the executive or judicial oflicersof any State who took nu oath to support the Consti tution of tho United States, are subject to disqualification, and in these I include county I officers, ns lo whoirt I made a reservat inn in tho opinion heretofore given. After full 0011 ? sideralion I have arrived at thc conclusion, I that they are subject to disqualification, il j they were required to take as a part of theil official oath, TIII: OATH TO SUPPOUTTUB CON STtTUTiON ot' Tin-; UNITKD STATT.K. .13.

Having specified what offices hold hy an ono prior to the rebellion, come within th meaning of the law, it is neecsary next to si forth what subsequent conduct fixes upon sue person thc iffence of engaging in roboUioi I repeat, that two things must exist as to 111 person, lo disqualify him from voting ; firs , the ollice held prior to tho rebellion, mid n , forwards, participation in thc rebellion. 14. An act to fix upon a person the o??eni of engaging in rebellion under this law, mu ? bc an overt and voluntary net, done with 1 I intent of aiding or furthering tho com mon u lawful purpose. A person forced into t rebel service by conscription, or under a pi amount authority which ho could pot Safi disobey, and who would not have entered sn . service if left to the free exorcise of his iv vf il!, cannot bo held to be disqualified fr? n voling. a 16.
