make this point clear we repeat
the words of the opinion, relating
to it:
ut is impossible to resist the
conclusion that the oath itself is
the sole and only test of the quail
fication Of the applicant. When,
therefore, a person applies to the
board for registration the power of
the board IS confined to the admin
istratiOn of the prescribed oath, and
# the applicant takes that his name
mast go Npon the registry. The
board cannot enter upon the in
quiry whether he has sworn truly
or falsely. That inquiry must be
reserved to the court which may
afterwards have jurisdiction to
try him on an Indictment for per-
jury N. o. Crescent.

article calling for the trial of Mr..
Davis, makes these curious decIa-

Given supposing that the trial
of Mr.. Davis should result in his
acquital on technical grounds, the
great events of the war will not be
changed one iota. 1t may not be
pleasant to know that legally the
Constitution was on the side of
the South. So much then the
worse for the Constitution; for the
abiding faith of the people, the in
stincts Of humanity, and the per
servatiOn of a national unity, tell
us that we of the North were
morally right"
In other words, the South was
right according tothe Constitution,
while the North was right only
morally. ar .

AT the commencement of this

70 The apathy of the people in
the matter of Registration is alarm
ing. Day by day the proffered
opportunity to secure a voice in
the election of rulers is slipping
away, and still the people manifest
no concern and bntlittle curiosity,
even, about it. Absorbed appar-
entity in their domestic duties,
they seem to forget that they
have public interests in jeopardy
and a country at stake. Not even
the newborn zeal of the enfran-
chised negro nor the more danger
GUS interference of the plotting,
lunscrupnlous Radicals, both daily
manifesting themselves as potent
agencies of evil, seems to break
the thraldom of istlessness OF to
arouse the people from their dead
ly stupor. 1t is painful to witness
a state of things such as we now
see throughout the country parish
es. 1t bodies evil and evil contin-
ually. 1t is suggestive of pOliti-
cal doom the bare contemplation
of which makes us shudder. We
are told that we must reconstruct
the subjugated States under the
direction of Congress, OF conisca-
ton will follow; we warn the peO-
pie, that, unless they arouse them
selves and get to work speedily,
! there will be a Convention ofmean
whites and free negroes assembled
in this State in a few months
which will deprive us of privileges
and rights more sacred and more
valuable than a few acres of until
ed soil. If the threat of confsca-
ton is so potent to make men run
/ forward to greet their masters, we
would invoke the potency of a
greater curse, disfranchisement,
towit: to induce them to discharge
an imperative duty to themselves
and to the country. Nay, we
would conjure them in the name
of the women and children of the
country-in the name of Liberty
whose vestal fires scarce glimmer
upon our altars-in the name of
peace and by the reeolections of
the dead slain in our defense
to take heart, summon up their
slumbering faculties and make
one more effort to bafled their
pursuers. The danger is immi-
nent, but not inevitable. Straight
before us lies the black gulf of
anarchy, and as sure as the people
fold their arms and leave to chance
the direction ofaffairs, so sure will
we all be swallowed up in the
yawning vortex. There is no help
for it, except through the active,
Jealous, unremitted exertions of
the people. And there is no citi-
zen, be he ever SO humble or illit-
crate, who has not a share in the
undertaking; nor is there one who
cannot do something to avert dis
aster. So vital and expanded is
the issue presented, that not a sol
itary citizen can by any means
excuse himself from participating
in the struggle over the final re-
suit. 1t is as comprehensive as
the whole scope of our aspirations
and affections-as significant as
the gallows to the condemned felon
as pregnant with mighty
achievements as the life we enjoy.
