 Judge Gilbert has decided in the Su- preme Court of Kings county, that the fact of q citizen having served in the Confederate army does not deprive him of the right to vote in this State. The question was decided in case where Augustus Wheeler applied for man damus to compel the registers of the First District, ill the Seventeenth Ward of Brooilyn,e to register his name in order that he might vote on Wednes- day next. Wheeler admitted having served as surgeon during the war in the Confederate States army, aud for that reason his name was not permitted upon the roll. The Judge, among other remarks, said. ''the inclination of my mind is exceedingly strong to work his disfi'ancbisement, but cannot find any authority to do so. The fact of his hav- ing been rebel, the war being over and he being no longer in arms against the Government. so far as can discoy- CT, has deprived him of no right or inn munity whatever. It has only subject cd him to punishment for treason" The decision concluded with the issu- ance. of the mandamus compelling the registerto receive his vote,
