ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S OFFICE, /
May 24. 1SG7. |
Y ?ie President .
SIR : I have thc honor to state my opinion upo
questions arising under Aet March' 2d, 18C7, enti?
tled au Act to provide for more eflL-ieut government
of rebol States, and an Act of March 23d. 18fi7, en?
titled "An Act supplementary to an Act enti?
tled an let to provide for thc moro efficient
government of the rebel States," upon which ques?
tions the military commanders ol districts in which
those States ar? comprised, In ve asked your ill?
s'ruction.
Tuc first and most i nportant of these questions
may bo thus stated: '-Who are entitled, lo vote and
frito are disqualified from voting at elections pro?
vided for or eoming within purview ot those acts?''
The first provision noon this subject is to lw lound
in tho tiff It section of tho original act and declaros
Gie qualifications and disqualifications of vol?is
for an "lection to be bold for delegar, s to the pro?
posed Constitutional Convention in each State, and
for an election to bo held for the ratification of tilt:
Constitution that may bo framed by such Con?
vention.
That section provides that dolcg.-dc* lo snell
convention shall bo olecteJ by mile ettizi ns
said State, twenty-one years old a tl upward, nf
wh.atcver.raco, color or previous condition, who
havo been resident in sa d State for ono year pre?
vious to thc day of such el- ction, except' such ns
may be disfranchised for participating in rebellion
or lor felony at common law. and that the same
qua ificatiohs ?o required for the election of dele?
gates shall also bc required upon election for rati?
fication. The proviso to tiiis section also excludes
from right to Yute for delegates to convention
every p rson excluded from 'bc privilege of hold
> ing ofhco, by an amendment of tho Constitution of
the United States proposed by the Tn'rry-Nmth
Congress, and known :-s article fourteenth.
The sixth section proceeds, that until people of
said rebel States shall be by law admitted to rep?
resentation in tho Congroas of tho United States,
any civil governments which may exist therein
Bball be deemed provisional only, and tn all re?
spects subject to thc paramount authority of the
United States, at any timo to abolish, modify, con?
trol or to supersede tin- same, mid in all elections
to any office under such provisional governments
-all persons shall be entitled to vote and non?:
others who are eutitled to vote under provisions
of the fifth section of this act. and no person shall
be eligible to any office under any sut h provisional
governments frito would be disqualified from hold?
ing office' under provisions of third article.
Section - of said constitutional amendment
lt is to bo observed here tlwt qualifications ol
r. voter arc by fifth section, limited to election ot
delegates to tbeeonvcitti >nand to question wheth
er such Convention shall or shall not be held, and
that no qualification is declared for a dele . ato so
to be elected, but by sixth section same qualifica
tions as to a voter arc required in all elections to
anyoffico under thc existing provisional govern?
ments duriug their continuance and as to eligibili?
ty at such elections certain classes are excluded.
Tho first section of supplemental act "provides that
'.the commanding goner il in each district shall
cause a legislation to be made of male citizens of
the UnitedStatos twonty-onc years of ago and up?
ward resident? iu each county or parish in State
or State*, included in bis district, which registra?
tion shall include only t hose persons who are quali?
fied to voto for delegates by original act. Tho per?
son offering himself for registration is also re?
quired to take an oath tor convenience. 1 now
Alivide into paragraphs or sections, preserving as
near as may be language of act. He must swear or
affirm as follows.
First. That he is a citizen of tho State, and h is
resided iu said -tato for-mouths, next pre?
ceding day when he takes oath, and tiiat he uow
resides in the count}- of-or m parish of-in
said State.
Second. That he is twenty-one years old.
Third. That he has not been disfranchised for
participation in any rebellion or civil war against
tho Umtcd States, nor for felony committed against
tho laws of any Slate or of the United States.
Fourth. That he ha? never been a member of
anv State Legislature nor held any executive or
,'udicial office in any Stute, and afterward* engaged
in insurrection or* rebellion against the United
States, or given aid or comfort to thc enemies
there f.
Fifth. That ho has never taken au oath as a
member of Congress of thc United States, or as an
officer ot the U. lied States, or as a member of any
Slate Legislature as an executive or judicial officer
of any State to support tho Constitution of thc
United States, and afterwards engaged in insur?
rection or rebellion against tho Umtcd States, or
given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof.
S.xth. That ho will faithfully support the Con?
stitution and obey the laws of tho United States,
snd will, to tho best of his ability, encourage
others so to do.
Second section of this act provides that after the
completion of this registration iu any St ile, ami
after at least thirty days' pubhe notice of the
times and places which the commanding geneial
shall appoiut aud direct, au election shall be held
for delegates to thc convention, and a rule is given
to fix tho number of delegates to be elected, ami
^ho appointment of these delegates in proper civil
sub-divisions, giving to each sub-division repre?
sentation in the ratio of the registered voters.
The third section provides that at the election
for dolegates registered voters shall vote for or
against convention. Tue fourth sectio? provides
fur au election to ratify the constitution that may
be framed by the delegates, ami the right to vote
at this election is confined to poisons registered.
The sixth section provides thai all elections in
tho States mentioned iu said original act shall,
during t io operation of such act. be by ballot, and
all officer.* making said registration of voters and
conducting said election shall, bt-t'orv entering
upon the discharge of Liten- duties, take su oatli
prescribed by tho act ol' July 2d. 18?2, entitled
"An act to prescribe an oath of uflice.''
The first consideration which requires my atten?
tion upon the question as to the right to vote,
arise upon the regulation of voters; questions of
qualification or uisqualification is fixed by regis?
tration. No power is given lo any other board or
any other authority, after registration is com?
pleted, to chango tho registry. Persons whose
names are admitted to registration, ure entitled to
vote subject to thc Unutatio.'S hereinafter men?
tioned, and .none others. This registraHon must
be completed belore the first dav of September,
18?7.
Tho fonctions of thc board cs a Iward of regis?
tration cannot be extended beyond that fixed ti..ic,
but after that thc du its which rennin to be per
fortned by Mic officers composing fuis board aro
limited to holding and superintending elections,
aud ulakine proper returns to thu commanding
general. This brings ..s t?< the direct question who
ure entitled to registration. 1st. As to citizenship
and residence. No person is oiitiilcd to vote who
shall uot bc a resident of thc State for one year
previous to the day ? f election, lt is nwt necessa
that this previous residence for a year should j
exist at tho time tho person applies for registra- j
tion. A person in all other respects entitled to
vote is entitled to registration, although he han
not a'that time been a residenter the State for
a full year. For wc find that in the supple?
mental act that tho oath us tu residence does luvt
require the applicant lo swear that he has been a
resident for a year, but or.ly requires him lo state
the number ut months of l?'is icaidoiicu, contem?
plating a period los tinta ?ts well a . a lilli torin ol'
twelvemonths. Therefore us to such a |K*rH"ii so
registered, if it happen at any etceiion ubscqucut
ly to be held, Uiat I tie tune td' his rcsiueui-e,
counting from thc day of ?lection, ?loes liol cover
au entire year, he cannot v itu at such election, for
this supplemental act docs not. as to residence,
cliauge tue provisions of the original u?;t, us ii is
expressly provided uv it, as to r?gulation, thal it
shall include ouly those why arc u aub tied t.. \.?te
by the original act. lo carry ?ml the pui-j?>ses of
tue law in this respect as tu residence, tue Board
of Registration should note opiate (he name of
the person whose residence hat- uot extended tu
tho full ti nu, thc exa. t time ol his residence as lo
citizenship.
The qualification stated in thc original act is
crtizensntp of State, but by thu first elau.f the
first section in tao Supplemental Act, the regis?
tration is to te made of male citizens of the Unit?
ed States, and as to oath the applicant is only re?
quired to swear that he is a citizen o? the State. 1
am of opinion that fie phrase citizen <-f thc Stale,
as used iu tho oath, is intended to include univ
such persons as aro citizens of the United States
2$d citizons ol' the State, and that au abeu who
lias not l)ccu made a citizen of thc United Stator
Court cannot safely take the oath-but as tho
board uf registration li? vc only authority to ad
utiuister the present oath, they cannot require
any further oath or proof as to citizenship; anti if
an alien, who is not made n citizen of the Uni tod
Slates, takes tho oath, he takes it at his peril, and
is -subject to prosecution for perjury.
Second. As to age no ono entitled to rogistratiou
who is not at least twenty-one years ol' ago on thc
day he applies for registration; in this respect
?ualificatiou as to age differ; from qualitication as
to residence, and thc fact that tho majority must
exist at the date of registration, has relation to
tho day of registration and nut to tho day of sub
queut election.
Third. Next as to disfranchisement I shall con?
sider the various clauses of disfranchisement ac?
cording to tho order and division into sections
hereinbefore stated, and first as to tho goneml
claims declaring disfranchisement. Tho fifth sec?
tion of tin! original act denies tho rieht to vote to
such as may be disfranchised for participation in
tho rebellion or for felony at common law. Words
hero used, in thc rebellion, must bo taken to mean
.ii tho recent rebellion, but the supplemental aet
enlarged disqualification and requires tlic appli
eaus to swear th.t he has not boen disfranchised
for participation in any rebellion or civil war
against thc United States, nor for felony commit?
ed against tho laws of any Stato or the United
States.
What, then, works a disfranchisement undor
those provisions? Whether wc consider this disa?
bility as arising ont of participation in rebellion
nr commission of felony, tho more fact of partici?
pation or commission of felonious offene. does not
of itself work disfranchisement. It must bc as?
certained by thc judgment of the court or legisla?
tive act passed by competent authority, disfran?
chisement for felony committed a 'ainst the laws
nf a Stato or thc United Stuten, consequent on a
conviction in the courts, either of tho Uuitcd
States ir of a Stato, or declared by tho laws of
either, would he fatal under theso facts.

steam saw mill, situated on Binnicker's Bridge
Road in tho Fork of Edisto, twelve milos from thia

the time of discovery were so far advanced, as to
render al) attempts tb savo tho mill or tho lumber

ly consumed, and about seventy-five thousand feet
of lumber. There is no doubt that it was tho work
of incendiaries.

CURRENT TOPICS.
GENTILE AMI HEBREW.- The Jews of tho present
day. in Iiio exercise o?* their religions rites, keep
on the even tenor of their way, and seldom engage
in controversy, cit :cr doctrinal or other, with
thone nut of the household ot Abraham, unless
they deem themselves attacked. An occasion of
this exceptional kind occurred in Cincinnati on
Saturday last, when tho Rabbi, I. II. WISE,
preached a sermon to a crowded congregation in
the Hebrew Temple, corner of Plum and Eighth
s?rcete, in which ho reviewed tho disc .urae
preached at. thc opening of thc General Assembly
of tho Presbyterian Church, in tho United S.atc3,
in ti:e Central Church, Cincinnati, May lCth, by lt.
L. STANTON, D. D., .Moderator of the last General
Assembly, on thc text: "For I determined not to
know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and
Him crucified." Rev. Mr. WISE announced for his
text the last throe versos of Micah, ending Hms:
"Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and tho
mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto
our fathers from tho days of old."
"It was very appropriate to-day," ho said, "to
consider these words, when he had read in yester?
day's pr.nts an attack on the whole house of Israel,
on liberality of views, on deists, philanthropists,
humanitarians, a wholesale attack, covering with
its breadth all who do not subscribe to the views
of tho author of tho same. It was especially
proper that this should bo considered, when we
were told by thc brother that we could not teach
ono einglo doctrine, with truth, out of all iu which
wc had bolieved, &c, &c * * * *
"lilis brother actually called forth tho doctrine
of Church ab ive State, that bloody doctrino of
Jesuits and Popes, against which mankind had
been struggling for thc last eight cinturica,
through which nations had waded with bloody
wars, which deprived men of thc liberty of speech
and oven of thought. It was tho saino terrible
doctrino against which Martin Luther contended,
againBt which Protestantism had boen struggling
for vcars. a bane to mankind, a curso that had
cost us so much blood. Such was thc doctrine
that the Church should overrule thc State Israel's
experience had been that of misery, always under
thc rulo of priests.
"Ministers, he said, in concluding, should tcaeli
and preach. They should caro for tho sick, visit
the poor, comfort tho afflicted, touch lite and trulh,
break loose from forms and dogmas, teach only
such doctrines as could stand tho test ot logic,
with their self-evident truths. Lot thom do their
duty in tho name of God ami leave politics arid
que dion.* of State to whom they belong. Lot thom
save souls; that was their vocation; to improve
public moral*.
"Tho Swedonborgion, the Unitarian and tho Hu?
manitarian were not sn bad hy f ir ns this speech
had depicted thom. They were possibly just as
good men as tho brother who had spoken."
The foregoing is abridged from thc Cincinnati
Commercial, ot tho 19th.
ADVERTISING EXTRAORDINARY.- Mr. Robert Bon?
ner has been writing to his old friends in the
Hartford Couraut office, and says : "Wo havo just
commenced operations on the now building which
I am erecting. It will cost mc nearly ono hundred
and fifi y thousand dollars, besides sixty-six thou?
sand ?lollara thal I paid for th? ground, lt will 1 e

tion for an ex-journeyniaii print r-a graduate ol'
tho old Couraut office; hut I can alford it. I was

swear to an income of a trifle o: over two hundred
thousand dollars for tho past year. Wo printed

this week-first edition. They aro all gone, and
yesterday I o? dore I twenty thousand more. How
many, in addition, wo shall want I cannot toll, as

Paragraphs like Ibo foregoing, varying sonic
what with the locality, may bo seen by ihe hun?
dred and thousand in tho papers of ibo country
It id understood that (beso items ure iusorted as

General T. C. Il indinan, in a letter to tho Hole

gard to thc protection ol' tho lands along tho Mis?
sissippi river (rom overflow. Me says that the
levees have provetl unreliable, and his plan is to
create side drains, east and west of thc Mississip?
pi, carrying directly to the Uulf so much of its
surplus waters that its natural banks will bo a
sufficient barrier for the rest. For example, a
drain across the Cumberland, with a steamboat
canal turning its excess into tho Tennessee, and
another drain and canal diverting the excessive
Tennessee waters into tho Tombigbee or Cliatta
hoochio, would alford the drain on tho cast side,
and that of the west would bo provided by similar
dams and canals, turning tho surplus waters of
the Platte through Grand river, into thc Arkansas;
those of tho latter into Bayou Bartholomew (their
ancient channel), and those ol'Red river and its
tributaries into tho Atchafalaya. Whether the
plan is practictblo or not must, bo tested by actual
surveys.

Brown was a criminal ol'the deepest dye. and if he
had possessed a thousand Ikes, their forfeit to the
outraged law would have been insufficient to atone
for his atrocious crimes. Wo must not forget,
however, that this uki negro thief and murderer
is thc first saint iii thc Radical calendar. What a
party !
The National Intelligencer says:
In remarking yesterday upon tho reported
failure of Fraser, Trenholm A Co., nf Liverpool,
late Confederate.a;euts,.wu stated thal the Gov?
ernment would nut bo i loser, and thal the linn
had given bunds, willi ad?quat*) security, to pay
the United Stales claim, in case it should bc legally
established. W- learn that this is nut so, and
thal the (?ovenniieiit has no security whatever,
as the matter is now sup) ?used to stand.
Southern ot ton factors are Haid lo lie largely
losers by this failure. Everything seems to work
against the South arnie worms, inundations, bad
seasons, demoralized la I ?ir, high price ol' provi?
dions, the cotton lax. foreign competition, bank?
ruptcy of et di on traders, absence.'f capital and
credit, und the rod nf confiscation hanging over
the whole South.

annually under tho control of tho Secretary, m bu

ed something wrong under that "meal tub. ' The
Secretary was therefore summoned before the
Committee lu disclose what had ever been held as
confidential. Ile gave, as we learn fruin a gentle?
man who obtained his information front a member
of tho Committee, in detail, thu various sums paid
out of tho fund, amounting to about $12,UD0 which
was principally expended for counsel and witnesses
in defending Fcnhue in Canada. As ?I?H only ac?

ilollurs, tho Committee inqiiir. ? ivlial lind become
of tho balance? Having no farther use for thc

A "Past" Woman.
Italy is decidedly a country of progresa. Sho
:in* made, in a remarkably short : iori od of timo,
wonderful strides toward p litieal unity and frec
Icru. Tho difficulty nowscems to bc to check her.
IJoth Legislature and people aro vcrv much divided
uti to thc real muan inc of liberal ideas. Whtn
dojis are too liberal they become illiberal.
Wirb all their notions there seems to Ivonc
naff? ot pmer KS which tho Italians have not yet
-?'"P'?:.r|. Stuart. Mill advocates strenuously' in
England the emancipation of w men, and "thc
noroes of tho AVisconsin Legislature have already
loldly proposed to grant thom pn itical privileges
in America. Italv is not yet alive to thc impor?
tance of thc su jject. In her biil of richte there is
no clause for the benefit of thc unprotected female.
A little incident which has recently occurred
innv. however, produce a very marked change up?
sn the Italian mind. It is a very clear proposition
that if a woman is to protect her own richte she
should also defend her own wrongs, and it looks
wry much as if tho Premier of Italy could only
?rot.'out of a very unpleasant scrapo by asserting
this doctrine.
Signor Ratazzi has, it appears, a wirb who is
thoroughly emancipated. A fow months ago her
tjook entitled "Tile Murringo of a Creole" made
?reat scandal in Paris and thc fair-or unfair
inUiorcss was obliged lo leave. Rocen Uv ?ho has
written another book in which she is oven more
unmerciful to tho Florentines (han she was to thc
Parisians. All Tuscany-that is thc Tuscan world -
is up in arms. A "correspondent of tho Paris
remus writes :
-Signora Ratnzzi's novel, of which you have
lioird, now produces something moro than moro
scandal here. Tho mon designated in thc work
brothers, lovers, or future husband* of thc ladies
.locriod-have made a sort of league, and nro going
lo call M. Ratazzi lo account, one after the other.
Tho storm has become more violent since that
statesman became President of tho Council.
.Vnnmc tho demands tor reparation ls that of the
Marquis Pcpoli, a relative of Lit signora Ratazzi.
The Maniais, to whom several pages are dev ited
in tho description of Richcville. sent his seconds,
uouut Arene and General Ciahlhii. to M. Ratazzi.
The' friends of the President ol'tho Council met
immediately, and began by making La Signora
Itatnzzi write a sort of rwtTaetlO.l. She has de?
bared, iii t.ie Q izetta di Fircnze. that she did not
moan to describe or offend any .?nc. After that
?ftp. tho friends of M. Ratazzi decided that tho
.Lief of the Government could not light u duel mi?
ler such circumstances, unless a jury of honor
mould establish his responsibility. MM. Arose
ind Cialdiiii accepted ibo proposal, and tho jury in
mcslion is still deliberating, ilis affirmed thai
ho challenges sent to M. Itulazzi were Uftcen in
?lumber."
limier such trying circumstances thc Prime
Minister of Italy lias but one rceourso loft. II?
Uitsl emancipate Madame Ratazzi as tho only
n jans of emancipating himself. An net for thc
ulvanccntont of female kind generally would como
wry gracefully hom that wicked litt lo city
"FiVonzc la Della." Tho women there have, for so
ong. boun so far ahoad of civilization that it would
piito becoino them again to lead tho advance.
