'Flint section pr.oides that “delegates to such eon vent ion dial I he elect e«l hy male eili/etis «>l said State t weiity-om* years old and upwards, of w halt ver rare, eoloV or previous condition, w ho have been resident insaid Stale lor one year pivvions to such election, e\e* pt such as may he dis franchised lor participation in 11.« I’.-helion, or for felony at fonunon law ," and that the same tpialitiealitms .,o reiptiri d ti r the elec tion *»l''delegates shall aKo ho ivpiired for the election lor ihe ratification The proviso to this seetnui also evelndea from the right to\ote for tlelegatt s tfi the i'onvention every person excluded from the privilege of holding otliee hy an amendment to the Constitution of the* I'nitcd States, proposed hy the Thiriy-Ninth Congress, and known as article. 11.’ The sixth section provides, “That unt il the people of the said rebel States shall he, hy law , admitted ti representation in the Congress of tin- l’ States, titiy civil govermm iit wltieh may ex ist therein shall he deemed pro\ isiomd only, ami in all respeets Mihjeet to i!u* paramount iinthoi'ity of the I’nitcd States, at any tiint to abolish, modify, eont ml or supereetle tin same; mid in all elections to any olliee tin tier such provisional government, all per sons shall lie entitled to vote. And none oth ers, who are I'lititlril to vote under the pro- visions of the fifth section ot ibis Act; and no person shall be eligible to any olliee un der any such provisional government who would bn distpialilied from holding olliee under the provisions ,,| tho third article of section of «ahl Constitutional amend ment.'’ It is to be observed here that the ipialili cations of a voter are, hy the lilt h section, limited to the election of delegates to the convention nnd to the question whet her such convention shall or shall not he held, and that no qualification is declared for a dele gate so to bn elected ; but by the sixth sec tion the same qualification as to a voter are required in all elect inns to any ollin* under the provisional governments* during llieir continuance; and as to eligibility at such elections, certain classes are excluded. The first section vides that “the Comm each District shall cause a registration to be made of male citizens of the twenty-one years ol age f dents In earn county or parish, in State or' States included in this District, which rrg-' istration shall inehidu only those persons who are qualified to vole lor delegates hy the original Ad. The person oficriug hitii- Hcll'lbr registration is also required to take an oath, which, for convenience, I now* tli-i ^ ih<Mla' vide into paragraphs or sections, preserving, as near as may he, the language oftlie Act. Ho must Rwefiror iillirm as follows : First. That In* i* a citizen of the State, and has resided in said State lor mouths next preceeding the day when betakes the oath, and that lie now resides in the county oi or in the parish of , in said Stale. Second. That lie is twenty-om 1 years old. 'Third. Tlml he has not been disfranchised for participation in any lebcliou or civil war against tht* I’nitcd Stall’s, nor for felo ny committed against the law s ofany State or of lire United States. Fourth. That lie has never been a mem ber of any State Legislature, nor hehl any ‘executive or judicial office in any State, and afterwards engaged in insurrection or re bellion against the United States, or given aid rudcomfort to the enemies thereof Fifth. That he has never taken nn oath ns a member of the Congress of the United States, or as an olfieer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial olfieer of any “f: N UMBER 56. I shalLvmc foi or ugniimt a Convention. 'The fourth section provide* for an elec tion to ratify Ihe Constitution that may bo framed by Oil* delegates, and the riglit to vote at this election is confined to persons registered. The sixth section provides that all elec tions in the States mentioned in said origi nal Act, shall during the operation of such Act, 1m* hy ballot.; and nil officers, making said registration of voters and conducting said elections, shall, before entering upon the discharge of their duties, tnkonnoath prescribed by t lie Act of July 2, 1802, enti tled “An Aeito prescribe an oath of olliee,” The first consideration which requires my attention upon the puestions us to tho right to vote, arises upon the registration of vo ters. 'The question of quamention or dis- pmlificntion is fixed hy registration. No power is given to any other board or any other authority to change the register.— Persons.whoso names are admitted toregis-*.- t rat ion are entitled to vote, tftihjcct to the limitation hereinafter mentioned, and noun 1 others. This registration tmiHi be comple ted before the Ist day ofBeptembo 1807. Tlu* functions of the Board ns n Board of Registration cannot be extended beyond that fixed time, niter that tho dutios which remain to he performed by tha officers com- _ posing this Board arc limited tri holding and * superintending elections and making prop- - or returns to the Commanding Gcnoral.— This brings us to tho ilircot questions, Who are entitled to registration? First. As toeitizonship and rcsideneo:— No person is entitled to voto who shall not he n resident in the State tor ono year pre vious to the ilny ot election. It is not iieo- cfsnrv that this previous residence for a year should exist at the time the person ap plies for registration. A person in nil other respects entitled to vote is entitled to regis tration, although helms not nt thnt tfino hgen a rosident.oftho State fora full year, for we find in this supnli mental Act .that tlu* oath as to rctddcuco does not require the applicant to swear that he has then been a resident fora year, hut only remdres him to state the number of mouths of Idsresidonco, contemplating u period lens than as a full term of twelve months. Therfore, ns to such so registered, if’ it hnpncus at any elec tion subsequently to 1u held that tho time of his residence, counting from tho day of electiondoea not cover an entire year, ho cannot vote at such election ; for this supple mental net docs not, us to residence, clinngo the provisions of the originul act, as it is ex pressly provided by it as to registration, that it shall include only those who nro qual ified to vote hy the original act. Tojcnrry out the purposes oftlie law in this respect to residence, tho hoard of registration should state opposite the mime of tho person whoso residence has not extended to tho full term, the exact time of Ids residence as to citizen ship. • • flic qualification stated ill the original Art is citizenship of the State, but by tho first clause of the second section oftlie Sup plemental Ad, registration is to bo matto of male citizens ol tho United States; and as to the oath, the applicant is only roquired to swear that lie is a citizen oftlie State. I am of opinion that the phrase “citizen oftlie State,” us used in the oath, is intended to include only such persons ns are citizens of* the United Stales and citizens of tho State, mid that an alien, who hus not boon made a * citizen of the United States, cannot safely take the oat Ii. But, ns tho lionrd of registra tion have only authority to administer tho (oath, they cannot require any further oath | supplemental Art i*ro-1 f „. .„» 0 ol as to citizenship: and if any alien, mmundmg General m j n( g made a citizen of tho United States, takes a registration to be, t j l0 oath, lie takes it at his peril, and is sub- the l mted Slates, to prosecution for perjury, and upwards, resi-. Second. As to ago: No one .Second. z\s to age: No one Is entitled to registration who is not at least twenty-one yours of if age on the day lie applies for regis- t ration. In this resnect the qualification as to age dillui H from the qualification us to residence, and the fact that majority must exist at the date of registration fins relation v of registration, and not to tho day of subsequent election. Third, Next, as to iliHf’rauohisemont: I shall consider tho various clauses of disfran chisement according to tho order and divis ions into sections hereinbefore stated—and first, as to the general clauso declaring dis- fi’uiichiscmcnt. The fifth section or tho original Act denies tho right to voto to such tts may be disfranchised tor participation in the rebellion, or furfelony.at cpmtuon law^ . Tho words used, “in tho rebellion, 9 * uinstbo , taken to mean the recent rebellion, tint the Supplemental Act enlarges tho disqualifica tion and reiiuires the applicant to swear that he has not been disfranchised for porticipn- . tion in any rebellion or civil war against tho United States, nor for felony committed against the laws ofany State or of tho Uni ted States. What, then, work* n disfran chisement under those provisions ?
