JU who aro entitled to registration, lat. Aa t citizenship and residence. No perso-i ia entitled to vote who sholl not bo a resident of tho Stato for ono yoar previous to tho day cf election. It is not necessa ry that thia previous residence for a year should exlat at tho timo ,tho jxiraon applies for registra tion. A person m ; ali other respecta entitled tri vote la on ti tied to registration, ni thou h. ha hes not ai that timo boon a resident of tho State for a full year; For wo find ' that in tho supple mental act that tho oath ca to resilience does not require tho applicant to swear that ho has boon a rouillent for a year, btit only requires him to stato tho number ot months of his rosidenod, eonlom {listing a period loss than aa well ai a full term of welve mouths. There fore, aa to such person BO rcgintori d, if it happen ut uny election .snbsoquont ly to bo hold, that tho limo of bia residence, counting from the doy of election, docs pot cover an enlim year, he cannot vote at such olootion, for thia supplemental aot does not, au to residence, chango the provisions of tho original aot, as it le expreaaly provided hy it, a to regulation, that it shall include only thoao who aro qualified lo .voto by tho original act.

' Sr Tho qualification ala tod in Iho original not is oitlzenahln of Btnto but by (ho first clause of tho first section in tho Supplement ! Act, tho rogio tratiou is to bo n.ado of. mal piticom of tho Unit ed States, and aa to oath tbo applicant, io only re quired to waar that ho ta a oltuton of tho B. to. ' I om of opinion that the phraoo oitlitun or the Bute, aa used in the oath, ii lntenfloa to .hclmlo only auch persona ks aro li tircilfc of tli Uni toil Bute and oitirxi.10 of tho State, ar.il t,hat'; on alien w o .HII*.II.A.I'..<, IAV/ lian nut Doon rnaao a citlzon of tho United States Court cannot eafoly toko tho oath-but aa tho board of registration havo only authority to ad minister tho prosont oath, thoy cannot require any further oath or proof as to citizenship; and if an alien, rho is not mado a citizen of tho United States, takes tho oath, bo takes it at bia pori!, and is subject to prosecution for perjury.

Third. Koxt aa to disfranchisement I shall con sider tho various clnusos of disfranchisement ac cording to tho ordor and division into sue tiona heroin be-foro stated, and first aa to tho general claims declaring disfronohisomont. Tho fifth sec tion of tho original act donica tho right to voto to such aa may ba disfranchised for participation in tho rebellion or for folony ot common law.

What, thon, works a dlafranohiaomont nuder thcao provisions? Whether we cousidor this disa bility aa m ming out of participation in rebellion or commission of folony, tho mero fact of partici pation or o 'Immission of felonious offbnen docs not of itself work disfranchisement.
