TUESDAY MORNING May M. I*«T
ABSTRACT
or t*i
Opinion of the Attomey-Gonernl
on the Beconstruction Act.
Mr- Stmibcrry 6rs( recapitulates the
provisions of the Militorj and Supple
mental nets upon these subjects, no
ticing en passant, the oath or affirma
tion required to he taken by the
intending voter, and the provisions
regarding registration. He then lakes
up the questiou of registration of
Tolers, and rules as follows:
Ist. The question ol qualification or
disqualification is fixed by registration.
lid. No power is given to any other
board or any other authority, after
registration is completed, to change the
regiaters; and persons whose names are
admitted to registration are entitled to
vote and none others.
3d. The registration must be com
pleted before September 1, 1867. At
that time, the functions of the board as
a board of registration cease, and after
that, its duties are limited to holding
and superintending elections and making
the required returns.
Upon the direct question, who are en
titled to registration, Mr. Stanberry de
cides that:
1. One year's residence in the State
at the time of registration is not neces
sary ; but if a person who hns been
duly registered has not at the holding of
any subsequent election been a resident
of the State lor one year, counting from
the day of that election, ihe person so
registered cannot vote at such election.
2. By the acts the qualifications to
registration is citizenship of the United
States and of a State, Aliens, not citi
zens of the United States, cannot safely
take the required oath ; but the board
of registration have only authority to
administer the prescribed oath and can'
not require further proof, so that an
alien not a citizeu may take the oath at
his peril and subject to prosecution.
3. No person is entitled to registra
tion who is tiot twenty-one years of age
on the day that he applies for registra
tion.
The Attorney General then takes up
the question of disfranchisement and
rules:
1. Disfranchisement for participation
in the rebellion or for felony at common
law. This must be taken to mean recent
rebellion, but the mere fact of partici
pation in rebellion or the commission of
a felonious offence does not of itself
work disfranchisement. It must be as
certained by judgment of court or le
gislative act, and disfranchisement un
der these claqpes depends on a convic
tion in the Courts either of the United
Sta»es or of a State or a declaration by
the laws of either.
2. The fourth and fifth sections, which
embrace the registration oath, are held
not to apply to State Conventions,
proper, but do apply to bodies which
passed ordinances of secession. There
fore members of those conventions are
disfranchised.
3. Officers of the militia or military
of the State prior to the rebellion are
held not to be debarred from holding
office.
4. The civil officers disfranchised are
the Governor, Lieut. Governor, State
Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary, and
Slate officials proper, who exercise
executive functions at the seat of
government.
The terms of exclusion are not
the members officers of a State
Legislature, but simply the members of
a State Legislature, in addition to the
class of officers who clearly came within
the terras of the act, as judicial and
executive officers of the State, and to
those classes which comprehend militia
officers and municipal officers, who
elearly are not within the terms of the
Act, there remains a vast number of
officers whose btatus is in some way
defined. These are known in popular
language by such terms of discription
as county, township precinct officers.
Their name is legion. Their functions
and duties are for the most part strictly
local. Some ot them—such as sheriffs
and justices of the county courts—have
jurisdiction over the entire county;
others are restricted to the smallest civil
sub divisions.
Abstracts are to be prepared for each
of tho States, exhibiting all these
offices, and the question whether all or
any of them are disfranchised is held
for further consideration.
As to all other executive or judicial
officers who are not in popular lan
guage characterized as county officers,
h -dines to consider them as coming
under the description of executive and
judicial officers of a State, within the
meaning of these laws.
The following are not disfranchised :
Boards of Commissioners of Public
Works, Directors of State Asylums,
Visitors of State Univeiaitics, Directors
of State Penitentiaries, State Director,
of banks or other corporations, special
coimnisaiouerA or agents appointed by
the Governor. Os other State authority
to perform special duties, as examiners
of banks, notaries public, and commis
sioners to take acknowledgment of
deeds. The rule laid'down, and these
illustrations will perhaps he sufficient to
determine who coinc within its opera
tions.
The breach of the oath to support the
Constitution of the United States, by a
J'udidial or Executive officer of a State,
or of the United States works disfran
chisement. I
Officers of the United State* is held
to mean military as well as civil officers.
A person who baa an office within
the meaning of tliie law, and haa taken
the official oath, aad who haa aot after
ward participated in a rebellion, may
very safely take the oath, and so too,
the person who has fully participated in
the rebellion, bat haa aot, prior thereto,
held an office and taken the official
oath, may with with equal safety take
this oath.
Holding a simple judicial office in
other executive offices or public employ
ment a* are of a purely civil character,
such as county offices, municipal offices,
and all other* of like natare, which were
not created for the purpose of more ef
fectually carrying on the hostilities, and
which did not involve the performance
of duties expressly in furtherance of the
rebellion, do not within the meaning of
this part of the oath, fix on the incum
bent the guilt of engaging in the rebel
lion.
Some direct overt act done with the
intent to further the rebellion, is neces
sary to bring the party within the pur
view and meaning of this law. Merely
disloyal sentiments or expressions are
not sufficient. The person applying for
Registration is not required to clean
himself from the taint of disloyality.
Mere acts of common humanity and
charity cannot be considered as invol
ving the party in participation in the
rebellion. So, too, are forced contribu
tions by the rebel authorities, or the
compulsory payment of taxes in aid of
the rebellious state would involve the
persons, and it must not work disquali
fication “under this lav.
Voluntary contributions in furtherance
of the rebellion, or subscriptions to the
rebel loans, and their organized contri
butions of food and clothing, or neces
sary supplies, except us a strictly sani
tary character, are to be classed with
acts which disqualify the Board of Re
gistration. •
Whilst in my opinion a conscript or
slave, forced into the ranks, or other
military service, is not included, it does
not follow that other classes than those
who actually levied war, and voluntarily
joined the ranks of the rebels tire to be
excluded, taking it to be clear that in
the sense of the law persons may have
been engaged in the rebellion without
having actually levied war or taken up
arms. Ail those who in legislative or
other official capacity, were eng iged in
the furtherance of common unlawful
purpose, or persons who, in their indi
vidual capacity, have done anv overt
act for the purpose of promoting the
rebellion, may well be said in meaning
of this law, to have engaged in rebellion.
All persons who, during rebellion, acted
in an official capacity, where the duties
of office necessarily had relation to the
support of the rebellion, such as mem
bers of the Rebel Legislature, Rebel
Congress, and Rebel Conventions, di
plomatic agents of the Rebel Confederacy
or such other officials as appertained to
the support of the Rebel cause, must be
held to come within the terms of the
exclusion of officers in those rebel States
who during the rebellion discharged
official duties not incident to the war,
but iu the preservation of order and
administration of law, are not to be con
sidered as thereby having engaged in
the rebellion. The interests of humani
ty require such officers for the perfor
mance of such official conduct, iu time
of vpr or insurrection, as well as in time
of peace; and the performance of such
duties can never be considered as
criminal.
The directors, embraced in the act,
in reference to the appointment of
Boards of Registration are enumerated,
and it is held that no oath or evidence
touching the qualification of a person
applying to register can be taken, save
the oath of the applicant. The Court
has no power to inquire as to the right
of the applicant to take the oath of
registration. He is amenable to the
Courts above, under indictment for
perjury.
The concluding paragraphs direct
the Registers to make a return of the
list of voters to the Commanding Gene
ral, and there is no authority to add to,
or take from the list, a name which
appears on it.
Mexico.
A recent batch of “ official ’’ advices
from Mexico, informs us that Queruturo
has fallen, and that Maximilian, Mira
mon, and other Imperial leaders were
amoug the captured. Previous advices
had Maximilian falling back from the
strongholds of Chepultapec, to the heart
of the city of Mexico. Wherever he is,
and whether the news of his capture be
true or not, it is pretty evident that such
an event cannot be long delayed.
Then comes Juarez, Gomez, and a
new struggle for legitimacy. Meantime
the Liberal bonds, freely taken by the
“ manifest destiny” men, in the United
Stales, will be falling due, with bills for
arms and munitions, which have been
shipped in large quantities from New
York. The holders of these bonds and
bills will become impatient—Juarez will
be too busy suppressing guerillas, and
shooting rebels, to think of paying these
debts, anfl in_ the whirl of events will
doubtless, ere long, himself " go up the
spout.” Then we shall have the claims
of these Mexican sympathisers for re
dress, and Uncle Sam will be asked to
interfere fur their protection. Then
comes American occupation—perhaps
a spec of war, and then up goes the
American flacfon the hall* t>f the Mon
tczumag, and several millions ol delupi
dated “ old Castilians,” and copper-faced
greasgrs, to swell the ranks of American
citizenship. We hope before they are
taken in, a very heavy iron clad oath
will be administered, binding them in
the most solemn manner, to quit fight
ing among themselves.
