Years of age, if he_ possesses the following.. qualifications

inhabitants of the province who pay, the highest amount of

.pal tax-payers being formed there shall be added to it all those

of electors are to be made out by provincial deputations, who
are to consult thereupon the municipal bodies. These lists are
to be annually exposed to the public in the month of July. All
Complaints are to be laid before the provincial deputations, from
whom there is to be an appeal to the council of state. The pro-
vincial deputations are to divide each province into as many
electoral distriJs as may be necessary, without being confined
to the administrative or judicial divisions. The electoral as-
semblies are, is the first instance, to have for their president
the alcalde of the and are afterwards to elect a president
and four secretaries as scrutators, by a relative majority. Each
elector is to write or cause his bulletin to he written, 'containing
as many namei as there are to he deputies for the province, with an
equal number of supplementary names, and further, the name
of the commissary for the district. The election being con-
cluded, the commissary of the district is to proceed td the capi-
tal of the province with the minutes of the election, and there
the votes for the liarvincial deputation and the commissaries are
to be examined. To • be• elected a deputy the candidate must
have a moiety- plus cne of the whole number of votes.
There is to'he a second ballot for' all those who dO not obtain
this majority. -To be elected a deputy, or supplementary
deputry, ona second ballot, a simple majority of votes over
the other candidates will suffice. The qualifications for being
-
a deputy are as follow : —1: To be a free Spaniard, and of the
secular order.-2. To be twenty-five years of age.-3. To be
the head of a family, and keep a domestic establishment.
4. To possess an annual income of 6(100 seals (15001.), or a
capital of 210,(X)0 seals (60,000 f,), in landed estate, in stock in
the Spanish government funds, or placed in commerce or in--
dustiy to live honourably and independently, by the exercise
of the profession of au advocate, or doctor in medicine, or in
law or in letters, or to be a professor in the sciences or fine arts,
provided the annual income derived from these professions can
be estimated at 10,000 seals (2500 f,); or finally, be receiving
from the Royal Treasury a sum of 14,000 teats (3.5,000 f.) per
. annum, either as a salary or as a retired pension. The functions
of a deputy to the Cortes are gratuitous and voluntary. Every
deputy upon whom the government shall confer any employment
with a salary from the state is to be subjected to re-election.
'['he supplementer", deputies are to have the same qualifications
as the deputies. They are to enter into the exercise of their
functions—first:in cases where one deputy is elected for several
places, and has made his option to sit for one of them ; secondly,
in case of the decease of the '4eputy; and, thirdly, in case of his
resigning, or otherwise vacating his seat. In censeqence of
the present state of the Basque provinces, they are not to be
immediately divided into electoral districts, and the election of
deputies is to take place in the four capital towns of these pro-
vinces in which the electors are to assemble."
