COLUMBIA. Friday Morling,Anggrt 9. jj837. Qnalifled ?nd Disqualified. We published, yesterday, the regu? lations for registration issued from the headquarters of the 2d Military District, and as far aa tba people of that district are concerned, they are of binding force. These regulations have been published for some time in the columns of our Charleston co temporaries, and yet both the Mer? cury and Netts, of Wednesday, say that many citizens are still at a loss to know their status with regard to the approaching registration. It is the same in this District, and we have heard many anxious inquiries on the subject. The great difficulty appears to be what former State officers, are disfranchised, us the ori? ginal reconstruction Act and the last or second supplementary Act differ, the last explaining the former. For the information of our rend? ers, we give the classification of those entitled to register made by the Neics, which we believe to be about correct: 1. All colored men twenty-one years old, who have resided in the State one year next preceding the date of registration. 2. All white men, native and resi? dent h?re, who have obtained the age of twenty-one years since the close of the war. 3. All men, whether they were en? gaged in rebellion against the United States or not-provided they did not before the war hold any office under the United States Government or held any "civil office created by law for the administration of any general law of a State, or for the administra? tion of justice." Those who come under either of the above classes will be entitled to the privilege of registration. Ac? cording to the original Act, "all men who have either borne arms against the United States, or aided and abet? ted in the rebellion, after having (at any previous period of their lives) taken an oath us a member of Con? gress, or as an officer of tho United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any. Stotts, to sup? port the Constitution of the United States," uro disfranchised. The last Act of Congress, passed at the recent special session, qualified and explained the above as follows: "That the true intent and meaning of the oath prescribed in said supple? mentary Act is (among other things) that no person who hos been a mem? ber of the Legislature of any State, or who has held any executive or judicial office in any State, whether he has taken an oath to support the Consti? tution of the United States or not, and whether he was holding office at tho commencement of the rebellion or bad held it before, and who was afterwards ongag sd in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or comfort to tho enemies thereof, is entitled to be registered or to vote; and the words 'executive or judicial officer in any State,' in said oath mentioned, shall be construed to includo all civil officers created by law for the administration of any general law of a State, or for the administration of justice." These extracts, together with the regulations published yesterday, fur? nish all tho light we have at present upon this important question. We hope, however, with our cotemporary of tue News, that the Commanding General will, at un early day, clearly spuoify in a general order who are really entitled to register. This would bring order ont of con? fusion, aad clear up tho doubts of many citizens who desire to comply with tho law in every particular, but who aro afraid lest they might, through ignorance, register wrong? fully and incur tho penalties pre? scribed. In tho meantime, we advise our readers to carefully peruso the official announcement of the regula? tions which we have published. Never make money at the expense of your reputation. Tennessee. ? Tennessee was the first State to get back into the JJnion-and ibis to-day in a worse condition-infinitely worse-than either of the ten em? braced in the five military districts a fact which parties now engaged in dividing and distracting the people of the South would do well to make a noto of. The article below, from, the Memphis Bulletin, is illustrative of the farce: We looked in upon them at their Soiling places, at about 12 o'clock, ot being a voter ourselves, on ac? count of a supposed defect of patriot? ism, our visit was, of course, one of mero curiosity. To our eyes, the long procession of dusky figures making their way slowly to tho judge's stand, boro the' semblance of a ? funeral procession. liberty was dead, we thought, and theso were her pall-bearers. The white people, those unfortunate individuals who had been tabooed on account of their color, were looking on curiously, from a dis? tance, pretty much as they would look upon the realization of some Eastern tale in the Arabian Nights. We scanned tho countenances of the dusky voters. Childish curiosity and simplicity, stolid indifference, blank ignorance, wretchedness and crime were the main characteristics. And these were the voters of America, the men who are to be the future guard? ians of the constitutional liberties of these States, the law-givers and judges of a land of white men. Wo turned away, sick at heart. As we passed by Court Square, we found a regiment of troops encamp? ed, with a sentinel at each gate, with a bristling bayonet, and rows of stacked arms belonging to the men who were lying about among tho shade trees. Tho statue of Andrew Jackson looked down upon these men. How the old hero, the old Constitution-defender, would have been astonished, if he could have arisen from his gravo and looked upon all these things being enacted in the State of Tennessee, in the year of grace 1867. Sit transit. The play is over, the actors are dispersed, and our readers will find in our local I columns that the Caucassian, in the State of Tennessee, has passed under tho rule of the African. The Yan? kee is avenged; helms thrown down the Southern man, and raised up the negro in his stead. Thank God! we hnve resisted the desecration of our altars and tho degradation of our race all we knew how.

As all the tickets were not disposed of, and the "heated term" had arrived, it was deemed advan? tageous to postpone the entertain? ment until Monday, the 30th Septem- ' ber. There is every reason to believe that all the tickets will be disposed of by the date specified above, When the drawing will tobe place. We shall have a small lot of tickets in a few days, and would request parties dis? posed to invest to come up promptly. The other day, we accidentally came across a passage in tho speech of the Hon. George Mc Duffie, which possesses a curious interest at this time. The eloquent words in.which he denounces the crime of assassina? tion will find a response in the heart of every honorable man, while his ? remarkable prediction in reference to the assassination of a President of the United States deserves to bo brought to the attention of the whole country. In his own words, "God forbid that it should be prophetic:" "Tho idea of assassination is so absolutely abhorrent to all the feel? ings, the Christian feelings, of mo? dern times, and of such pernicious tendency, that I feel it to be my duty thus unequivocally to express my utter abhorrence of every proceeding that may have the remotest tendency to suggest the idea of assassinating the Chief Magistrate. Such a course is not only obnoxious to the abhor? rence of every honorable man, from its moral atrocity, but from its politi? cal tendency. Every man who will attentively read the history of revo? lutionary Prance will be satisfied that the projectors of the infernal ma? chine, more than all his own parti? sans, civil and military, contributed to elevate Napoleon Bonaparte from the chair of the consulate to the throne of the empire. I will make one concluding remark on the sub? ject-God forbid that it should bte prophetic-and it is, that if,.in th?r midst of a violent political excite? ment, it ever should occur that a President of the United States should be assassinated, he will be the last constitutional President, and his blood will cement the despotic throne of his successor." ]' NB^|AX>VEIITISKMKNTS.- Attention ia tii li? ed to tho following advertisements, which ?re published thia morning for Hie first time: j E.
