circumstances may admit.
We had the pleasure yesterday of meet

passed, Capt. Owens looks younger than

For the 6 Findtc,

Mr.. Editor: 1t is important that you
should impress on the minds Of the people,
the necessity of qualifying themselves to
vote by taking the oath required by the
Constitution, ard recently modified by the
Legislature.
Many seem to suppose that they are en-
titled to vote bySfeason of having taken the
oath Of amnesty. Such is not the fact
Every man is required to take an additional
oath to support the government of Virginia
before they can vote.
Rev. James G. Wheat, who is the only
notary public qualified to administer oaths
in the county, is the proper person, and
probably the only person now competent to
administer tho oath. Let every man then
come forward promptly and take the oath or,
when the elections come on, he will find
| himself disfranchised. 1t is important in
| the outset Of tn, new government that we
elect our best men without reference to old
party divisions.
The people should understand that it is
necessary for the security of their persons
and property that they should all take the
oath of amnesty. Our best lawyers are Of
this opinion, and are all taking the OATH
The prejudice against taking it is founded
in ignorance and folly. 1t is right that
every man who expects to live under the
Federal and State Governments, should
swear to support them. =
The U. g. Court will meet here on LIST Oct,
and those who neglect this warning may
find themselves involved 10 expensive liti-
CATION If not moro serious trouble. Any
malicious person may instigate proceeding
for the confscation of his neighbors proper,
ty, and it will be too late then to take the
oath. It is better to take it at once Bet.
ter err IN the safe side. The old ?roverb
says "a stitch in time saves nine" Call on
Mr.. Wheat at once.
VIGILANCE.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1865-07-07

II here seems to be some misconcep-
ton on the part of the people in re-
gard to the late action of the Legisla-
ture of Virginia in restoring parties,
who were DISTINGUISHED by the third
article of the Constitution, to the rights
of voters, and in submitting to the
qualified voters the question, "shall
the next General Assembly be clothed
with power to alter or amend the tfsird
article of the Constitution ?"
| The latter portion of the first para
graph of clause l, Article III. of the
Constitution, reads as follows:
"But the Legislature shall have
power to pass an act or acts prescribing
means by which persons who have
been DISTINGUISHED by this provision
shall or may be restored to the rights
of voters, when in their opinion it will
BE- safe to do So"
In accordance with this delegated
power the Legislature passed an act
restoring to the rights of voters many
who had been disfranchised by Article
III. Of the Constitution, which we pub
lished last week.
The End paragraph Of clause !, Ar
ticle III. is as follows:
Ono person shall hold any office
under this Constitution who shall not
have taken and subscribed to the oath
aforesaid. But no person shall vote
or hold office under this Constitution
who has held Office under the sQ-called
Confederate Government, or under any
rebellious State Government, or who
has been member of the so-called
Confederate Congress, or a member of
any State Legislature in rebellion
against the authority of the United
States, excepting therefrom county
officers"
The Legislature, while willing to
see the intligibility to hold office, of
the parties mentioned in this paragr. phi,
removed, had no power to do so, and,
consequently, passed an act ordering
the question to be submitted to the
qualified voters at the next election,
whether the next General Assembly
shall be clothed with the power to alter
or amend Article ILL., on this point.
1t will be seen then that this Legis-
lature has done all it was empowered
to do, by restoring the rights Of voters,
and it remains for the next to restore
the eligibility of certain parties to hold
office, if the qualified voters, to whom
the question will be submitted, so de-
termlne.
