! The ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION. 1T
is known by telegraphic advices from
Washington that the opinion of the attor-
ney general, on the legal construction of
the military act, has been completed, and
will soon be promulgated in the shape of
an order from Gen. Grant We learn that
the opinion entirely reverses the rulings
of the registrars in this city, and declares
to be qualified voters who have not been
federal officers or members ofState legisla-
lures, or executive or judicial State officers,
in the true meaning of those terms. That
is to say the construction of the. attorney
general Isl exactly that given by the Ores
CENT when the law was FIRST, published.
We learn also that the opinion denies to
the commanding generals the right to
remove civil officers for any cause arising
prior to the enactment Of the law.--The
registration of naturalized foreigners will
be much facilitated BY the new order.. 1T
is the opinion of the attorney general that
it is. not necessary to produce the naturali-
zation certificate, but that, in case Of the
loss Of papers, other. evidence. will be
sufficient Lsach as b former registration,
or competent oral testimony. This is in
accordance with the general principles of
law, and it is only surprising that any
person should have taken different
view.-[ N. O. Crescent. i
