WASHINGTON, Juno '?'J.-The conclusions of tko
Preside ut and Cabinet in reforonce lo tho interpre?
tation of tho military reconstruction laws aro stated
in tho following proceedings, willoh uro published
by permission of tho proper authority:
lit CABINET, June lo, 18C7_Present-Tko Presi?
dent, tho Secretary of Hinte, the Secretary of the
Treasury, tho Secretary of War, the Secretary of
tho Navy, tho Postmaster-General, tho Attoniey
Gouorol, and tho Bcorotury of tho Interior. Tho
President ainu united thal he bad limier considera?
tion the two opinions from tho Attorney-Genni.il
aa to tho legal questions arising upon tho Acts of
Congress commonly known ns Ibo lioeonstriictimi
Acts, and that in viuw or thu great magnitude ol'
tho subject, and of tho various interests involved,
be deemed proper to havo it cousidured fully in
Cabiuot, and to avail himself of all tho light which
could be afforded by tho opinions and advino nf the
members of tho Cabinet, to enable him to Ree
that thoso lawn bo faithfully oxecutod, and to de?
cido what orders and instructions nrn necessary
and expedient to bo given to thc militaiy com?
manders.
Tho President said furthor, that tho branch of
tho subj ?ot lhat seemed to him llrst in order for
consideration, was ns to tko ?IIHII iiutiuna lo bo sent
to thc military commanders Tor their guidance,
and for Ibo guidanco of persons ottering for regis?
tration. Tho instructions proposed by tko Altin
iioy-Gotioral, as set forth in tho sunns a ry contained
in his last opinion, will, therefore, bo now consid?
ered. Tko summary was then road at length. The
reading of tho sumiunrv having been concluded,
each section was considered, discussed sud voled
upon as follows :
1st. Tho oath prescribed in tho supplemental
Act dennes nil tue qualifications required. Olid
overy porson who can toko that oath is eui i tied lo
havo kia narnu entered upon tho list of voters. All
voted ayo oxcept tho Secretary of War, who voled
uay.
2d. Tito Board of Registration had no auden itv
to administer any other oath to tko porson apply?
ing for registration than this prescribed oath, niir
to administer any oath to any other person touch?
ing tho qualifications of tho applicant or tho falsi?
ty of the oath so taken by him. No provision is
mado for challenging tho qualifications of tho ap?
plicant, as entering upon any trial or investigation
of his qualifications, either by witnesses or by any
other form of proof. All voted ayo except tho
Secretary of War, who voted nay.
3d. As' to citizenship and residence, tho appli?
cant for registration must bo a citizen of tho State
aud tho United Stales, and must bo a resident of
tko county or parish incluacd in tho election dis?
trict. Ho may be registered if ho bo such citizen
for a poriod less thou twolvo months at the time
be applies for registration, hut ho cannot volo al
any election unless his citizenship has bcon ex?
tended to tko full term of one year; and to such a
poison Ibo oxact length of Ins citizenship should
bo noted opposite his name on Ibo list, so that il
moy appear on tho day of election upon reference
to tho test whether tho full term has been accom?
plished. Concurred in unanimously.
?1th. An unnaturalized person cannot take Ibis
oath, but an alien, wko has been naturalized, can
(ako it, and no other proof of naturalization can
bo required from bim. All voled nyo oxcept tho
Secretary of War, who voted nay.
5th. No ono who ia not twenty-one years of agc
nt tho tune of registration can take tho oath, for
bo must swear that bo has then attained that ago.
Concurred in unanimously.
Cth. No ono who baa bcon disfranchised for par?
ticipation in any rebellion ogaiust tho United
States, or for felony committed against tho laws of
any State, or of tho United States, can take this
oath. Tho actual participation in a rebellion, or
tho aotual commission of a fclouy, does not
amount to disfranchisement. Tho sort of dis?
franchisement hero meant is that whick
is declared by law, passed by eompotcnt
authority, or which has boen fixed upon
tho criminal by Ibo eentonco of tho court which
tried him for 'tho crime. No law ot tho United
States has doolarcd tho penalty of disfranchise?
ment for participation in tho rebellion alone: nor
Is it known that any such law exists in either of
wiucri B&M^pccian'iwiiTuci?lona ViU
All voted aye except tho Secretary of War, who
dissented aa to tho eocond and third paragraphs
7th. AB to disfranchisement arising from having
hold office, followed by participation in tho rebel?
lion, ia tlio most important part of tho oath, and
requires strict ultcntion to arrive nt its meaning.
Tho applicant must swear or ailinn as follows :
"That I havo never been a member of any Statu
Legislature, nor hold any exe cu I ive or Judicial lil?
lico in any Stato and afterward engaged in any in?
surrection or rebellion against tho United States,
or given aid or comfort to tho enemies thereof.
That I havo never taken an oath aa a member of
Ibo Congress of the United States, or as an ofllccr
of the United Staloa, or as a member of any Hiato
Legislature, or as an Executive or Judicial ofll?
ccr ot any Stato to support tho Constitution of tho
United States, and afterward encaged in insur?
rection or rebellion against tho United Stotos or
given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof." Two
elements must, concur in order to disqualify a
person under these clausea. 1st, tko oliico and
official oath to support tko Constitution of tho
United Stales; 2d, ongaging afterward in rckcllion.
Beth must exist to mark tho disqualification, end
must happen in order of tho timo mentioned. A
person who bas hold office, and has taken tho oath
to support tho Federal Constitution, and has not
afterward engaged in rebellion, is not disqualified;
so, too, a person who has engaged in rebellion, but
has not heretofore held an ofllco and taken that
oath, is not disqualified. All voted aye, oxcept
tho Secretory of war. who voted nov.
8th. Officore of tho United States; aa to these
tho language is without limitation; tho person who
has at any timo prior to tho rebellion held any
office, civil or military, under tho United States,
end has takon an oflicial oath to support tho Con?
stitution of tho United States, is subject to dis?
qualification. Concurred in unanimously.
9th. Tko militia officers of nny Stato, prior to thc
rebellion, are nut subject to disqualification. All
voted ayo oxcopt tho Secretary of War, who voted
nay.
lOtb. Municipal officers, that is to say, officers
ef incorporated towns and villages, such as Mayor,
Aldermen, Town Council, Police, and other city
or town officers, aro not subject to disqualifica?
tion. Concurred in unanimously.
lllh. Persons who have, prior to tho r?bellion,
boon members of tho Congress of tho United
States, or members of tho State Legislature, aro
subject to disqualification; bot thoso who have
been members of convent ions, framing or amend?
ing tho const i tul inn of a Stato prior to a rebellion,
aro not subject to disqualification. Concurred in
unanimously.
12th. All tho Executive or Judicial officore of
any Stato who took on oath to support tho Constt
l e til m of tho United Statos aro subjcot to disquali?
fication, including County officers. They aro mb
Ject to disqualification if they wero required to toko,
as a part of their official oath, tho oatb to support
tko Constitution of tho United States, Concurred
In uiiammoiiBly.
lSlb. Person's who exercised moro employments
nuder State authority aro not disqualified, such as
Commissioners to lay out roads. Commissioners of
Public Works, Visitera of Stato ?uslilutions, Direc?
tors of State lue ti lut ions, Examiners of Banks,
Notaries, Public Commissioners to toko acknow?
ledgements of doods. Concurred in unanimously.
but Ibo Secretary of Stato,. tho Secretary of tho
Treasury and tho Secretary of War, expressed tho
opinion that lawyers aro such officers as aro dis?
qualified if they participated in tho rebellion
Two things must exist as to any person to dis?
qualify liim from voling : 1st. Tho office hold
prior to thc rebellion, and afterwards participation
in tho rebellion.
Ht h. An i.et to fix upon a poreon tho offenen of
engaging in rebellion under thia law. must bo an
overt and voluntary oct, done with tho intent of
aiding or farthering tho common and lawful pur?
pose. A porson forcod into tho robot service by
conscription, or under a paramount authority ho
could uol safely disoboy. and who would not havo
mitered such sorvico if left to tho free exercise of
his own will, cannot bo held to bo disqualified
from voting. All voted ayo oxcopt tho Secretary
of War, who voted nay as tho proposition IB
slated.
'i 15th. alere acts of charity, whoro the intent in
to relieve tho wants of tho object of such charity,
and not dono in tho aid of tbs causo in which be
may havo been ongagod, do not disqualify, but
organized contributions of food or clothing for tho
general relief of poraona engaged in tho rebellion,
and not of a merely sumptuary character, but con?
tributed, to enablo them to porform their unlaw?
ful objocl, may bo classed with nels which do dis?
qualify. Forced contributions to tlio rebol cairne,
in tho form of taxes or military assessment, which
a person was compelled to pay or contributo, do
not disqualify, but voluntary contributions to tho
rebel oauao, oven euch indirect contributions os
arise from tho voluntary loan of money to Ihn
rebol authorities for tho purchaeo of bunds and
securities, created to afford tho moans of carrying
on tho rebellion, will work disqualification. Con?
curred In unanimously.
16th. All those who, in a legislativo or oilier offi?
cial capacity, were engaged in tho furtherance of
a common and lawful purposo whero tho linties of
tho office necessarily had rotation to (ho support
of tho rebellion, such aa members of tho rube)
Conventions, Congresses and L?gislatures, Diplo?
matic Afronta, of tho rebel Confederacy, and
other officials whoso offices wero created for
tba purpose of moro iff ive t nail v carrying on
hostilities,' or whoso duties appertain to tho
support of tho rebol cause, must bo hold to bo
disqualified. Bot omccrB who, during ibo rebel?
lion, discharged official duties not Inoldonl to war,
trat only ouch duties aa bolong lo a slate of jicoco,
and were necessary to tho preservation of order
and tho administrai lon of law, aro not to bo con?
sidered as thereby ongaging in rebellion or as dis?
qualified. Disloyal aentlmonts, opinions or sym?
pathies wonld not disqualify, but whero a person

aualifloaUon.

To the Editor of the Daily Newt:
DEAII SIR-Permit mo through your very valua?
ble papor, to call tho attention of your friends,
and tho Episcopalians gonorally of Charleston, to
tho fact that wo aro striving to build at this place
an Episcopal Church, and I trust our Charleston
fi ii min will givo ua that aid in tho good woik,
they Have so orton rendered praiseworthy objects.
In all communitiOB, churohos are essential for
tho puace, happiness and well-being of society, aa
well aa pl acoa whoro wo may congregate, and our
shildren with ourselvoa hear tho word of God, and
thoro odor up our prayors and givo praise to Him
who boa over watched ovor those who strive to do
that which is ploaaing in His sight. Our littlo town
is rapidly growing, and those of us who aro Epis?
copalians havo no place to worship ; and aa our
numbers aro increasing, we doom it but right
that wo should, at least, have a Chapel, whore wo
may participate in our holy rites, ond establish
Sabbath Schools for oar children. I am euro
tho subject is hut to bo brought before' our
friends, ?rsl thou* energies will bo lent
fal our behalf, I, would suggest moat res?
pectfully that ono Sabbath bo sot apart in
each Episcopalian Church in Charleston, and a col?
lection bo token np for tho pnrpoae of building an
Episcopalian Church at Floronco, H. O. Tito sub?
scriptions will bo received by Mrs. J. W. GAMULE,
Mrs. FRANOIS Cirunon, and other ladles boro who
havo tho whole matter at heart, and aro in nhargo,
and I am euro will meet with thoir sincere acknow?
ledgments and hearty thanks of all interested. To
tho Presbyterians hero wo aro much indebted for
tho kind invitation to "?Mond at all limos worship
with thom, and for tho hearty support lu our bo
half. Any amounts subscribed may bo sont to tho

May tho author of all good prompt oar brethren
in this matter, and may Ho watch over thoso who

Tbo Timber Trade.
3b the Editor of the Daily News:
Whonovor a particular branoh of commoroo and
trado languishes and fails to bo Buooeaal'ul and
profitable; when labor, properly bestowed upon
any business proves unproductive, and that which
was formerly remunerativo must bo abandonod,
it ls right and propor thot wo should look to tho
oaii!,rs which produce thoso result?, and, if wa
may, correct thom.
Neil lo cotton, rico and naval stores, as pro
duets of this Stato for commercial purposes, I bo
liovo moy bo clasaod tho timber and lamber
trado-indeed, I do not know but timoor is,
in foot, a moro important ortlole than rosin and
turpentine. Statistics of those branches of trade
in Charleston, unlike thoso of other cttios, m tko so
meagre a showing that it Is imposslbls to estimate
tho valuo of tho trade, Trno, wa seo occasional
weekly statements of cargoes shipped- ont if we
tako tbo weekly quotations and oomparo thom
with actual salon (If ono had tho nmall-pox tho
other would ho in no danger of catehic;; tt;. It
is a remarkable fact that timber In Charleston
marke', has never brought Its value as compared
with tho market in a neighboring city ; and, more
rocontly, tho prices offered do Bot warrant it? pro.
duction nt Ml. Whothor tho fuel in that capital?
ists liavo combined with tho ruillora against tho
i.cllcrn, or lhere in but lillie capital ii nen ted ill
thin brauch or trado, and HO thora io established a
monopoly, wo aro unable to (incertain, but HO it io ;
lumber mon aro driven to abandon tho Irado, or
lind a bottor market. Wo aro nu aro that tho cou?
ll i cl between labor and capital continuos ot) it
amaya lina, end that capital still maintains ita ad
vnntago, but in thia ago of rovohilionu it .' ould
bo surprising, if by concentration and combina
t ?olin ol labor well directed capital shall not bo
forced to yield equal j uni ico and fair remuneration
lo labor,
Thoro is no reason why timber nt another port,
as emily reached, with hut trilling additional OX
[louses, should always command a price neatly
100 per cont, nbovo Charleston market. I am
aware that various reasons liavo boen OBaignod
why this in so. It hos been said that as largo
ships cannot bo loadotl in Charleston os at Savan?
nah ; but I sm told that is not BO, tho oriiranco at
Charleston being equally accoptnbln with her stator
city. Werne told, also, of diff?rences in measure?
ment and inspection, which accounts for tho dif?
ference, In prico. Thoro may bo, and probably is.
something in thoao ; but if our system of inspec?
tion and nicasuroment in faulty, why not correct
them, mid establish a standard equal to our noigli
boni, not encourage tho catting and bringing to
mai].ot, of inferior timber, and thou to tako
advantago of tho fault, to roduco tba prioo lo a
point so low as to bankrupt over}* mau who Ls dar?
ing enough to embark iu tho husmean. Tho truth
is that moasuring timber lu Charleston ia moro
huuibnggcry, but tho charges aro a fooling rcnlity;
and os for inspection, thcro ia literally nono. I
proBiimo tho measurer and inspector ls otocted by
your City Council, and that being oloctod or ap?
pointed llioro ls no further responsibility. It
strikes mo that these malters should como within
tho supervision of tho Board of Trude; at all oven ts,
thoro is in nil this timber trade a subject to which
I desiro la call its particular attention. I under?
stand that body to havo hoon created for tho purposo
of giving d m ruc ter and tono to all commercial trans
nclioos, and BO far as its peculiar provinco may ex?
tend, to onquiro into and correct all Buch ovil? as
may continuo to prevail, either as tho result of
following out somo old-fashioned cooroo of trado or
by trammolling a particular branch of buBinoas,
Buoh OB this, with potty exponaos and 111
performed dutios, thus destroying tho
value of honest industry. If capital persists in
combinations against labor; il trado is encum?
bered with a host of trilling exponaos; if a mar?
ket has only a nominal standard of roquircmont as
to quality, and thon takes advantago of its own
wrong-doing; if honest industry cannot find its
reward in Charleston market, then labor must
diroct its products into another channel, where, it
is euro and certain to moot its rou ard.
Tho City of Charloston is now setting ont in a
now rnco for commorcial powor and iniluonco. It
will not do, I think, to follow up tho old narrow,
irregular, ill-digCHtod plan of building railroads in
distant StatOB, to tho damago of bono trado and
homo industry-however that may bo, tho limber
cutters will, most assuredly, seek their intorosta
whorovor it may bo found. Tho boat market, tak?
ing all things into consideration, will command
tho trado, oren though wo nra ubligod to go ont of
tho H ta to to lind it. Moro of this horoeftor.

I commanders in the Bout h :
(From Ute Tribune.]
Aboro nil-and hore wo approach tho crimo of |
tba opinion-this ie not tho construction intended
by Congress, and accepted by thomdminiatration
and lim country. In this rospcot tho At?
torney-General is dishonest. Ho is a par

to atnko a blow at tho reconstruction policy of
Congress, and bring up from tho pit of sin and
iniquity tho shameless "policy" by which bo
rought to deprive a race of ils dearly-earned
rights. Wo must show him that ho dare not.
CongrosB should oasomblo in July and address it?
self again to reconstruction, Wo must mako this
bill so plain that oven Stanliery may understand it,
and so comprehensivo that tho Prcsidont cannot
escapo its oxecution. We regret that tho Admin?
istration has forced another issuo upon Ibo conn
try. Wo must promptly moot it.
[From Die rimer.]
,,Wo can only repeat tho hope, we havo moro than
onco expressed, that the Prosidont will not follow
this advice. If ho acts upon it at al], it can only
bo aa ndvico,-for aa wo havo.sought to ?how in
another article, it has upon him no binding au?
thority whatever. Whatever may bo tho cogency
of the toihnical reasoning of tho Attorney-General
(and wo confess it ia very strong), tho President's
attention ought to bo gi eon-as that of Ibo pub?

structions of tho law. Their morai iufluenco and

realization of the foot that they are in a manner
absolute-that their power to diapoao of faithless
or obstructivo officials is as completo aa their pow?
er to preserve tho peace-and that tboir acta aro
not Butioct to reversal hy distant politioal authori?

tho enemies of tho law will tako frosh courage, and

[?OM IA? Herald.)
No man disposed to accept and act apon this
law in good faith can nco in it any other than tho
I clear intent and purpose thus set forth, lint wo
j do not say that any lawyor may not argito around
it or that logal acuteness, exorcised for tho speeiflo
nurpo.-e, may not And in it places largo onough
for many small mon to creep through. Richelieu
could condemn a man upon any threo lines he had
ovor written, and no doubt tho right sort of-lawyor
can nullify and dofeat tho moat distinct and posi?
tivo statute that ovor declared tho will of a ruling
powor. It, indeed, requires only very moderate
ability to mako quibbles of nny sort. In tho re?
construction law to bo noted upon in this spirit ?
Are legal argumenta to deprlvo it of its vitality?
Does tho President, tinder pretence of telling tho
oommandora how to oxeouto tho Law, Intend to
tell them only how to dofeat it ? Evidently that La
{ just whoro wo stand. This is tho evident purposo
now, and il is clear that wo aro on tho eve of now
trouliles. Above all, it is olear that reconstruction
cannot go forward until wo havo another Execu?
tive. How long shall that bo? Thia ia now tho groat
question for tho country to consider. We have
tho President's platform in tho two opinions-wo
know what to expect from him, and we ought to
dotonniuo at onco what shall bo dono.
[From the Commercial AdoertUtr.)
Wo cannot, therefore, but regret that tho Attor
noy-Gemirsl, ablo and strong aa he is in his legal I
critioieni, felt constrained to make this issue. It
is better, in our Judgment, "to boar tho Ula" of
military reconstruction, than to provoke others.
Wo wonld not willingly furnish a pretext for tho
roasaombting of Congross, thus unleashing tho I
blood-hounds of "Impeachment," "Conuscation"
and "Land Distribution." As wo stand, Htovona,
Boulwell, Butler and Wado, with tho propensity,
lick tho powor to work mlsobiof. But if tho Prosi?
dont, acting upon ibu opinion of tho Attornoy
Gnnora!, removes Sheridan, tho
<. A cc ors od and unquiet wrangling dava"
will roturn.
Tho work of reconstruction was progressing,
and reunion in nome, or indeed in any, form, is
bottor than perpetual warfare.
[From the Bvtntng Po$L)
Th ero ia too great haste, it aooms to na, among |
certain mon and journals to excite tho country
anew upon tho reconstruction question. We ad?
vise tho people to keon ooo], Tho President has
not refused or neglected to execute the law; his
official opinion is that it ?B a despotic not; doubt?
less ho will mako its oxooution as little hurtful to
tho liberties of tho country se may bo; and on
tho othor side, tho generals in command aro
men who may bo trusted to maintain "pcico
mid good order." When thoy attempt, arte
their military fashion, moro than tho law au?
thorizes, thoy ought to bo warned and cautioned
to koop to their business. For tho roat, registra?
tion is going on > "P0**5* an<* Rood ordor* prevail
in tho Southon! States ; and unless tho impracti?
cable and unruly politicians bore can,
in concert with tho impracticable and un- j
ml y politicians In tho Bout horn Slates,
overthrow BU that has been accomplished, all the
States will bo represented in the long session af
Congress, lo tho very groat benefit of tho country.
That ia what tho mass or tho pooplo want, what
thoy oro impatiently walling for, and we advise
