After quoting the reconstruction Act as to who aro disfranchised, including executive, judicial nnd Stuto officers; ho says no ono is disfranchised for participation in tho rebellion, uu'ess he previously held some one of the offices above named. Tho following will be regarded ns executive and judicial officers of the State of Virginia, within the meaning of tho lnw, viz: Governor, Lieuto nant-Govornor, Secretary of Stato, Auditor of Public Accounts, Second Auditor, Register of tho Laud Office, State Treasurer, Attornoy-Geucrnl, Judges of the Supreme Court of Ap? peals, Judges of the Circuit Courts, Judge of the Court of Hustings, Justices of tho County Courts, Mayor, Recorder raid Aldermen of any city or incorporated town, who nre ex officio Justices, coroners of towns nnd counties, escheators, inspectors of tobacco, flour nnd other commodi? ties. All persons who voluntarily joined tho rebel army and all persons in thnt army, whether volunteers or con? scripts, who committed, voluntarily, nuy hostile net, thereby engaged in insurrection or rebellion. Any per? son, however, who was forced into the rebel army, but avoided, ns fnr as possible, doing hostilo acts, and . csenped from thnt army ns soon ns possible, cannot be snid to have en- j gnged in tho rebellion. /Ul who exercised the functions of any offico under the Confederate Go? vernment, or the Government of und? one of the Confederate Stntes, which functions were of n nature to nid in prosecuting the war or maintaining the hostile character of thoso Govern? ments, and nil who voted for the ordinance of secession, engaged in thc rebellion or gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Those who voluntarily furnished supplies of food, clothing, arms, am? munition, horses or mules, or any other material of war or labor, or service of any kind, to the Confede? rate army or naval forces, or money, by loan or otherwise, to the Confede? rate Government, or aided in any way the raising, organizatir or , equipment of troops, gnvo ai?, and comfort to tho enemy, and partici? pated in the rebellion and civil war against the United States.

Tho challengers, provided for in paragraph 12 of tho regulations of May l!>, will be selected by the board f from tho most respectable and intelli? gent voters of tho district or ward thoso wini hnve tho most extended acquaintance with tho people; those who are interested in recuring a fair and just registration, and who will bo most likely to detect and expose any attempt at fraudulent registra? tion. The eba l ngers may bc changed nt nuy time, nt the discretion of the board. They will not be entitled to any pay for their services. Register? ing officers are hereby empower? ed to administer oaths to witnesses who may be summoned by the board in any ease of contested registration. The registration will bo commenced in every county and city without un? necessary delay after tho receipt of this order.
