The Attorney General has decided that al
persons who can take this oath are entitled to
have their names put on registry and to vote,
and the registration officers cannot ask any
questions. The law confines the
right of registration and voting to
male citizens" but the oath does NOT
require the person taking it to swear to the
SEX Females could take il as well as males
A female is a person, and the language OF the
Attorney General is that "any person" who
can take this oath is entitled to vote. Now, is
it not manifest that the Attorney General is
mistaken when he says that all the qualifica-
nsrequired are in the oath? Under mis- decis-
ion the distinction between males and females
is lost light of, while the statute makes that dis
tinction both in the original and supplements
ry acts. Nothing could be clearer than that
the acts of Congress do not authorize the con
struetion which the Attorney General ha,
placed upon them. - -
A third grave misapprehension of the At
tornney General was in his construction OF
the clause disfranchising persons who have
held executive or judicial offices in State
and afterwards engaged in rebellion. lie

act, that such persons were not disqualified
unless they had taken an oath to support the
constitution of the United States Mr. Trum-
bull states that it was by express design that
they were disqualified whether they had TAX
en- the oath or not, while officers ofthe United
States were allowed to vote if they had not
taken it. The two classes were treated differ
emily in the law, because there was an i'm

One of the persons who assisted in dig

was present and assisted DIR. True in erecting
the tablet. We have seen this Indian wo.

markable person in many respects. Unlike
the tribe to which she belonged, and unlike
other Indian tribes generally, she came In
contact with our civilization without being
corrupted. While other sons and daughters
ofthe forest initiate our vices she practiced
our virtues.
-Mallocket reminds us of Mettalak who
resided many years on the banks of the Mag
olloway river. He was a noble Indian and
loved life of solitude alter he lost his wife
and buried her on the shore OF Lake Umbs-
gog. His canoe paddle marked the spot, and
often did he go down the river and visit the
place where the remains of his beloved part
ner rested. Although destitute of the light
OF Christianity, yet he saw God in the clouds
and heard Him in the Winds"
There was another Indian, quite celebrat-
ed in his day, who lived in the vicinity OF
Pennington many years ago. His name was
Pierpold. His was "a fine specimen OF the
human form. He was one OF Natures no

people who first settled in that section of the

To add force and interest to the occasion it
is not essential that at public meeting all
should speak; their presence is power and
an encouragement. A single speaker, catch
ing inspiration from large aud eager audi
ence, may be a host in himself, and in turn
impart interest to the assembly and stir to the
very depths. How much greater the interest,
peradventure, where there is the variety of
many speakers.
The meeting at Saccarappa ought to be a
grand success. The people of the village
should turn out en- masse, and the neighboring
towns should furnish their full quota.

Senator TrambulI,s Comm rnts on sian-
bery's Opipirus.

An impression has prevailed that Congress
had really blundered in passing acts which
did not express with technical accuracy the
ideas the members intended to express. and
that the Attorney General had shown great
deal of acuteness in finding out the weak
places But the Chairman of tie Judiciary
Committee, in submitting to the Senate last
Tuesday the explanatory act which alter
wards passed that body, showed more clearly
than has hitherto been done, that the Attor
ney Generals views are not those OF an accu-
rate and discriminating lawyer.
The weakness OF Mr.. Stanbery's logic is
strikingly shown by his conclusion that the
former acts do not give the military COM
manders paramount authority; that the State
governments were left in the full and lawful
exercise OF all their powers, except that they
were not entitled to representation; and that
the military government is mere "police
power" This is not consistent with the dec
laration that it is the duty of the military
commander TO protect "all persons in their
rights ofperson and property, 10 suppress in
surrection, disorder and violence, and to pun
ish, or cause to be punished, all disturbers of
the public peace and criminals" The Ian
guage of the law thus embraces the whole OBJ
ject of government, and all the power to ef-
feet 1t is conferred ON the military command
ers. Mr. Stanbery says that subsequent
clause providing that the commander may al
lou civil tribunals to try offenders for crimes
limits this power. But Mr.. Trumbulps idea
is that it enlarges it. If the section had con-
lerred the same powers that it does, and then
said that the commander might make use of
the jails in any State, would that have limit
ed him simply to making use of jails and
taken from him all other authority:
Mr.. Stanbery also holds that any one may
vote who is willing to take the prescribed
oath. This commits him on the side Of ie
male suffrage. On this point Mr.. Trumbull
saws:

last sleep. He sleeps, we trust, but TO wake in

TO have known himi in life, audit nils our souls
with sadness TO record the passing away OF one
whose highest aim was but 10 know mis- duty,
and NEST willingly and chesrfully to perform
the same. He has been called from our midst
lust at the time when "msn'ssoui weretfied "
when none but the brave and the tue stood

will we and a gratefulcommuuity cherish with
tendereSt affection and profound respect the
name and memory Of our sslf-sac1incing
friend. He fell a victim to yellow fever, whilst
in the active performances of hat which makes
man nobiest. None knew iii but TO love
him, and none can name him but 10 praise
him FOR his great worth and manly virtues.
He was born in Windsor, Vt, but many
years ago removed to the great West, and there
became Identified with western people, life and
habits; and though born in a colder cline, his
nature was characterized by the warmest and
most generous feelings and noble deeds, which
will go FAR TO make up the history Of a soldier,
physician, friend and gentleman. WeFay this,
for we knew him to be all We knew him
when the touChsstone p" was put TO his heart,
and with grateful pride can say We found him
true as steel; and we pray for his afflicted fam
ly with thai fulness OF soul, hoping to be
heard, with the same truth andf ervor 10y which
his acts OF kindnes distinguished him when
us, too, were under the hand Of Providence.
May God, In these hours Of deepest gloom,
when hope is wan and pale. grow flowers OF
spring in the hearts Of his afflicted family
and though he is now beyond their recall"
may the rose leaves Of consolation shed their
richest perfume on their hearts, AK.
