I BEG LEAVE TO CALL THE ATTEN
TION of tbe public to this wonderful
Steam Engine, which is cheaper, lighter,
leas intricate, occupies less space, consumes
less fuel than any other engine, and is
superior in every other way, it being in
fact a doable cut off Engine, without the
friction of a doable set of valves with their
multiform attachments, and for its superior
merits was awarded the gold medal at the
Maryland Institute Pair, ra October, 1566,
over all other engines. This invention,
therefore, forms tbe most radical
and entire change in steam engines
which has occurred since the days of
Watts, being durable, accurate, and econ
omical in operation in space beyond all
comparison with the past, and at far less
original cost than ever before attained.

vide a more efficient Government for

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 (or each District, as above
mentioned, to consist ot 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 Postoffice address,
without delay, to Col. C. C. Sibley,
commanding District of Georgia, at
Macon, Georgia.
111. Each Register will be required
to take and sub.-cribe to the oaih pre
scribed by Congress, by an act dated
July 2, 1862, and an additional oath to
discharge faithfully the duty ot Register
nnder 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 ut once,
and on being executed and returned to
the -Superintendents of State Registra
tion, their Commissions as Registers
will be issued, and forwarded to them
immediately.
IV. In order to seenre a full registra
tion of voters, it is determined to fix the
compensation ot Registers according to
the general rules adopted in 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
uated between these limits, according
to the densitv of the population, aud the
facilities of the communication. Ten
rents per mile will be allowed for trails
portation ol 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 irade 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.
VI. The name of each voter shall
appear in the list of voters,- for the
precinct or ward in which he resides;
and in cases where voters have been
nimble to register, whilst the Boards of
Registration were in the wards or pre
cincts, where such voters live, oppor
tunity will he given to register at the
county seats of their respective counties,
at a specified time, of which due notice
will be given; but the names of all
voters, tbns registered, will he placed on

persons entitled to register, ol the date
when they will be in each election pre
-0 act; the time they will spend in it;
’ut 3 the place where the registration will
.made; and upon the completion ot
rhe registration for each county, the
Board of Registration will give notice
that they will be present, for three suc
cessive days at the county seat of 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 tbe
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,” iti the Acts of Congress of
March 23, 1807, 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 hot Legisla
tive, which last are also excluded by
the Act. Persons who apply to register,
but who are considered disqualified bv
the Boards, will be permitted to take
the required oath, which, with the
objections ot the Board, wlfl be held for
adjudication herealter.
IX. The lists of registered voters, for
each of the precincts, will be exposed in
some public place in that precinct, tor
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 oases 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. Blank books of oaths, required to
be taken by voters, and blank registru
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 ia 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 pre
vent any person from registering his
name, or exercising his 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
enforced 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 ol
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
|icrsuns whomsoever arc warned against
any attempt to interfere to prevent and
man from exercising this right, under
any prtdexl whatsoever, oilier than
object ion by the usual legal mode.
XIV. In ease of ainPdisturhatice, or
violence at the places of registration, or
any molestation of Registers or of appli
cants to register, the Boards of Regis
(ration will call upon tbe local civil
authorities for a police force, or a posse
to arrest the offenders nnd preserve
quiet, or, if neeesuiry, upon the nearest
military authorities, who are hereby
instructed to furnish the necessary aid.
Any civil officials who refuse, or who
fail to protect Registers, or applicants to
register, will be reported to tbe head
quarters of the Officer Commanding in
tbe State, wbo will arrest such delin
quents, and send charges against them
to these headquarters, that they may be
brought before a Military Commission.

Reconstruction in the Southern Stales,
is published for the information of all

[Public No. 6 ]
An Act supplimentarv to “An act en
titled an act to providie for the more
efficient government of the rebel
States.” passed March 2, 1867, and
to facilitate resignation.
Be it enacted, etc., That before the
first day of September, 1807, the com
manding general in each district (de
fined by an act entitled An act to pro
vide for the more efficient government
of the rebel States," passed March 2,
1867,) shall cause a registration to be
made of the male citizens of the United
States, twenty one years ot age, and
upwards, resident in each county or
parish in the State or States included
in bis district, which registration shall
include only those persons who are
qualified to vote tor delegates by the act

chised lor participation in any rebellion
or civil war against the United States,
nor for felony committed against the
laws of any State or the United States;

and afterwards engaged in insurrection
or rebellion against the United States,

as possible, the commanding officers of
the Districts of Alabama, Geor ia and
Florida, will proceed immediately to
divide those States into convenient Dis

and are otherwise suitable persons; and
that military officers shall not lie used
for this purpose except in cases of

persons entitled to vote under the Act of
Congress; and they are made responsi
ble that every snch legal voter has the
opportunity to record his name.

various points where registration is be
ing carried on; to inspect the opera
tions of the registers; and to assure
themselves that every mail entitled to
vote has the uecessary information con
cerning his political rights, and the
opportunity to record his name.
V. A General Inspector, either an
officer of the army or a civilian, will be’
appointed at these Headquarters, to see
that the provisions of this order are
fully and carefully executed. *
VI. District Commanders may, at
their discretion, appoint the civil offi
cers of the United States as Registers,
with such additional compensation as
may seem reasonable and sufficient.

each District will give public notice
when and where the Registers will
commence the Registration, which no
tice will be kept public by the Registers
in each District during the whole time
occupied in Registration.
