THE DAILY PRESS. VOL. 111. Who nr* Entitled to Vote T This question has not received the attention its importance demands- There is indeed, a degree ot ignorance on the subject which is much to be lamented. Even among well informed persons there is a lack of information which under the circumstances, is almost in excusable. Such of oar readers there fore, as are familiar with their rights under the law, should not only indulge, but aid ui in our efforts to explaiu them to others: In the first place, it is a great mis take, as many suppose, that all persons who held office prior to the war, are thereby excluded from the ballot box. By no manner of means is this so. On the contrary, we undertake to affirm that no mau is excluded simply because he happened to hold an office either Federal or State; nor. does the law proscribe any man merely because he engaged in the rebellion, uo matter whether the engagement was voluntary or by compulsion. Two things are necessary under the law to work dis franchisement, ami these things must he concurrent —that is to say, the party must have taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, (in the sense prescribed by the law), and afterwards voluntarily engaged in the rebellion to deprive him of the right of suffrage, or render him ineligible to office. We therefore undertake to lay down the following propositions as in controvertible : . (1.) A man may have held office either Federal or State, and in that capacity have taken an oiith to Snppoit the Constitution of the United States, not afterwards engaging in the rebellion, and he is a voter. (2) Or he may have voluntarily engaged in the rebellion, not having previously taken the oath in the capa city aforesaid, and he is a voter. (3) Or he may have taken the oath and afterwards engaged in rebellion by force of conscription, and he is a voter. it follows, therefore, as we have before remarked, that two concurrent circum stances are necessary to exclude a man trom the ballot—that is to say, he must, under the law have taken an oath as a member ot Congress or as an officer ol the Federal Government, either civil or military, or ns a member ol any State Legislature, or as an executive or judi cial officer of any Slate to support the Constitution of the United States, and afterwards voluntarily engaged in rebel j lion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. What is meant by engaging in the rebellion is not defined by the act, but it is held by high authority that the mere expression of “ disloyal senti ments” is not sufficient to bring the party within the range of the excluded class. It would seem to require an active participation in the rebellion, such as bearing arms or holding a commission in the rebel army, to work an exclusion. For it appears clear enough by the act itself, that the man who happened to be elected Judge, or a Justice of the Peace, prior to the war and continued in office and performed its functions during the whole period of its existence, uot having otherwise engaged in the rebellion, is not thereby excluded from the ballot. We stated in our previous issue, that the opinion of the Attorney General tended to “enlarge rather than diminish the excluded class,” but upon a more thorough examination of his views, we are not so certain about that. It is true, he undertakes to disfranchise a certain class, to wit: Members of the rebel Legislatures and other persons not before considered as coining within the purview of the act, but in other re pects, the excluded class or class supposed to be excluded by his opinion, “grows small by degrees and beautifully less.” Where there is so much doubt and uncertainty, it is but fair that the party sought to be punished, should have the benefit of the doubt. Every man first satisfying his own conscience that lie is entitled to vote, should present bis name for registration—for no one, no matter how loyal, will be allowed to vote unless lie has previously registered. And we maintain that every man (not clearly coming within the range ol one ot the excluded classes), who is a citizen ol the United States, twenty one years of age, and has resided one year in the State next preceding his application, is entitled to register. Who is the judge of his right ? Certainly the party him self should not he allowed to lix the taint of his own disloyalty, nor is it the duty of the Board of Registers to do so. The idea is, that every man registers at his peril, and those found abusing the privilege render themselves liable to be prosecuted for perjury—that is the pro hibition, the only constraint. The Attorney General confesses that he encountered much difficulty in en dtavoring to ascertain what is meant by the expression “Executive officers,” and it is due the eminent Counsellor to admit that upon this point as well as upon certain others, be left his readers in quite as much “painful uncertainty” as he found himself. Naturally enough, he concludes that municipal officers are not, and the better opinion is that “County officers” are niff, though with regard to them the Attorney General reserve his opinion for another occasion.

REPARATOR - CAPILLI, For restoring hair, upon bald heads (from whatever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few ignorant practitioners have asserted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false, as thousands of living witnesses (from their own experience), can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distin guish the genuine from the spurious? It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different preparations advertised for thp hair and board are entirely worthless, and you may have already thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator Capilli j it will cost you nothing unless it fully oomgs up to our representations.
