Registration Order.
HesITQI’ IRTKRS, .Tn MIUTARY Dis’T, 1
( Georgia, Florida and Alabama,) >
Atlanta, Ga., May 21, 1867.)
Gknkrai. Orders. \
No. 20. j
In accordance with au act of Con
gress supplementary to an Act to pro
vide a more efficient Government for
the rebel States, Ac., dated March 2.
1867, the following arrangements are
herein made for the registration of vo
ters in the States ot Georgia and Ala
batna.
I. The States of Georgia and Alaba
ma, are divided into Registration Di
stricts, numbered and bounded, as here
inafter described.
11. A Board of Registration is herein
appointed for each District, as above
mentioned, to consist of two white Re
gisters, and one colored Register. In
the State of Georgia, where only the
two white Registers are designated in
this Order, it is directed that these
white Registers in each District imme
diately select, and cause to be duly
qualified, a competent colored man to
complete the Board of Registration, and
report his name and Postofliee address,
without delay, to Col. C. C. Sibley,
commanding District of Georgia, at
Macon, Georgia.
111. Each Register will be required
to take and subscribe to the oath pre
scribed by Congress, by an act dated
July 2, 1862, and an additional oath to
discharge faithfully the duty of Register
under the late Acts of Congress. It is
not believed that any of the appoint
ees, heretofore designated, will be
unable to take the test oath above
mentioned. Blank forms of these oaths
will be sent to the appointees at once,
and on being executed and returned to
the uperintendents of State Registra
tion, their Commissions as Registers
will be issued, and forwarded to them
immediately.
IV. In order to secure a full registra
tion of voters, it is determined to fix the
compensation ot Registers according to
the geueral rules adopted iu taking the
census. In the cities, the compensation
is fixed at fifteen cents for each recorded
voter; in the most sparsely settled
counties and districts, at forty cents per
voter. The compensation will be grad
tiated between these limits, according
to the density of the population, and the
facilities of the communication. Ten
cents per tnile will be allowed for traits
portation of Registers off the lines of
railroads or steamboats, and five cents
per mile, when travel is done on rail
roads and steamboats.
V. It is hereby made the duty of all
Registers, and they will be expected to
perform it strictly, to explain to all
persons, who have not heretofore enjoyed
the right of suffrage, what are their
political rights and privileges, and the
necessity of exercising them upon all
proper occasions.
VL The name of each voter shall
I appear in the list of voters, for the
linet or. ward n which he resides;
and in cases where voters have been
unable to register, whilst the Boards of
Registration were in the wards or pre
cinct-', where such voters live, oppor
tunity will be given to register at the
county seats of their respective counties,
at a specified time, of which due notice
will be given; bus the names of all
voters, thus registered, will be placed on
the lists of voters of their respective
precincts.
VII. The Boards of Regisf ration will
give due notice, so that it may reach all
persons entitled to register, of the date
when they will be in each election pre
cinct; the time they will spend in it;
and the place where the registration will
be made; and upon the completion of
the registration for each county, -the
Board of Registration will give notice
that they will be present, for three suc
cessive dys at the county seat ol such
county, to register such voters, as have
failed to register, or been prevented from
registering in their respective precincts,
and to hear evidence in the case of
voters, rejected by the Registers in the
Several precincts, who may desire to
present testimony in their own behalf.
VIII. Unless otherwise instructed
hereafter, Boards of Registration are
directed, in determining whether appli
cants to register are legally qualified, to
hold that the terms “Executive and
Judicial,” in the Acts of Congress of
March 23, 1867, comprise all persons
whomsoever, who have held office under
the Executive, or Judicial Department
of the State, or National Government—
in other words, all officers not Legisla
tive, which last are also excluded by
the Act. Persons who apply to register,
but who are considered disqualified by
the Boards, will be permitted to take
the required oath, which, with the
objections of the Board, will be held for
adjudication hereafter.
IX. l’he lists of registered voters, for
each of the precincts, will be exposed in
some public place iu that precinct, for
ten consecutive days, at some time sub
sequent to the completion of the regi
stration for each county, and before any
election is held, in order that all sup
posed cases of fraudulent registration
may be thoroughly investigated. Due
notice will be given and provision made
for the time and place for examination
and settlement of such cases.
X. lllunk books of oaths, required to
be taken by voters, ana blank registra
tion lists, as also full and detailed in
structions for the performance of their
duties, will be at once forwarded to the
Boards of Registration, appointed in
this Order; and it is enjoined upon these
Boards that they proceed to complete
the registration with all energy and dis
patch.
XI. The detailed instructions to Re
gisters will designate the member of
each Board who shall be its President,
XII. Violence, or threats of violence,
or any other oppressive means to pro
vent any person from registering his
name, or exercising bis political rights,
are positively prohibited ; and it is
distinctly announced that no contract or
agreement with laborers, which deprives
them of their wages for any longer time
than that actually consumed in register
ing or voting, will be permitted to be
erriurced against them in this District;
and this offense, or any previously
mentioned in this paragraph, will cause
the immediate arrest of the offender
and his trial before a Military Commis
sion.
XIII. The exercise of the right of
every duly authorized voter, under the
late Acts of Congress, to • register and
vote, is guaranteed by the Military
Authorities of this District; and all
persons whomsoever are warned against
any attempt to interfere to prevent and

man from exercising this right, under
any pretext whatsoever, other than
objection by the usual legal mode.
XIV. In’case of any disturbance, or
violence at the places of registration, or
any molestation of Registers or of nppli
Cants to register, the Boards of Regis
tration will call upon the local civil
authorities for a police force, or a posse
to arrest the offenders and preserve
quiet, or, if necessary, upon the nearest
military authorities, who are hereby
instructed to furnish the necessary aid.
Any civil officials who refuse, or wiio
fail lo protect Registers, or applicants to
register, will be reported to the head
quarters of the Officer Commanding in
the State, who will arrest such delin
quents, and send charges against them
to these headquarters, that they may be
brought before a Military Commission.

ASTROLOGY.
The World Astonished
AT TUB WONDERFUL REVELATIONS
MADE BY TIIE GREAT ASTROLOGIST,
HI ADAME If. A. PEICRVGO.
She reveals secrets no mortal ever knew.
She restores to happiness those who, from
doleful events, catastrophes, crosses in love,
loss of relations and friends, loss of money,
etc., have become despondent. She brings
together those long separated, gives infor
mation concerning absent friends or lovers,
restores lost or .stolen property, tells you the
business you are best qualified to pursue
and in what you will be most successful,
causes speedy marriages and tells you the
very day you will marry, gives you tho
name, likeness, and characteristics of the
person. She rends your very thoughts, and
by her almost supernatural powers, unveils
the dark and bidden mysteries of the future.
From the stars we see in the firmament—
the tnelific stars that overcome or predomi
nate in the configuration—from the aspects
and positions of the planets and the fixed
stars in the heavens at the time of birth,
she deduces the future destiny of man. Fail
not to consult the greatest Astrologist on
earth. It costs y«.u but a trifle, and you
may never again hnye so favorable an op
portunity. Consultation fee, with likeness
and all desired information, sl. Parties
living at a distance can consult the Madame
by mail with equal safety and satisfaction
to themselves, as if in person., A full and
explicit chart, written out, with all inqui
ries answered and likeness enclosed, sont
by mail on receipt of price above mentioned.
The strictest secrecy will be maintained,
and all correspondence returned or de
stroyed. References of the highest order
furnisbod those desiring them. Write plain
ly the day of tho month and year in which
you were born, enclosing a small lock of
hair. Address,
