" OPINION OF ATTORNEY GEN.
- ERAL ]. X. TUCKER


SIR In answer to your request for my
opinion upon the construction of the "oroi-
nance to au thOrize the qualified voters of the
Commonwealth, who may be absent from
home in the military service, to vote at the
places of their encampment for Electors for
Presi dent and Vice President, aud for mem
bers of Congress-" / submit my reply
l am Of opinion, from the terms Of the or.
dinance, and from the purpose evidently in
the mind of the Convention at the time Of
its passage, that 1t was inten ded to be mere
ly provisional, and not permanent In its op-
Grafton. The convention proposed to nd
j1urn to day subseq ueut to that Of the elec.
ZION for President, aud provided by this or.
dinance for the absent voters to cast their
SURFACES In the Presidential and Congress
sionai election 10 be held Ia November -
There Is an absence of every indication in its
Language OF any intention to give the right
of suffrage to such absent voters at any other
time than "on the day Of election for Elec.
tors" &C.
think 1t would be improper to construe
this ordinance SO literally as to make ii per-
manently applicable to all Congressional
elections, and therefore think that, In the
election ordered for this District on the 10th
inst, persons in the military service, who
are absent from their count cannot be al
lowed to vote.
am, very respectfully, -..-
J. r. TUCKER.
