Who are Excluded from Voting by
the Constitutional Amendment.
[From the Atlanta (Ga.) New Era.


From the Atlanta (Ga.) New Era.
1t is believed our people do not
generally understand who are affected
by the Constitutional Amendment,
and excluded from Office and from
the ballot box by the late bill.
The following persons are excluded:
l. All persons who, before the war,
were members of Congress, or officers
of the United States. and afterwards
engaged in the rebellion.
s 2. All persons who, prior to the
war, were executive, legislative, or
judicial officers of the State, and took
the like oath, and engaged in the re-
bellion.
This embraces Governors. members
of the Legislature, and judicial Off
GERS, from Judge of the Supreme
Court down to Justice of the Peace,
who at any time held Office and took
the oath and afterwards engaged in
the rebellion. @
Who, then, are not erch ded? l. No
one is excluded because he neld an Of
fee under the Confederate States from
President down, if he does not fall
within one of the excluded classes
above specified The simple fact that
he was a Confederate Senator or a
Confederate General, or that he took
an oath to support the Constitution of
the Confederate States, does not ex-
clude him. 60 n9issm5s adi
2. No State or county officer is ex-
Guided on account of his having held
the office and taken the oath and en-
gagged in the rebellion, if he were not
an executive, legislative or judicial Of
fcer; therefore, neither lawyer, sher-
iff, clerk, tax collector, receiver, coun-l
ty treasurer, coroner, surveyor, con-
stable, or road commissioner is ex-
cluded. tnl fs
3.hAs no man under twenty-one
years of age, when the war began,
held any such Office as disqualified,
and none of them took the oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States during the war, and as the war
commenced nearly six years ago, no
man in Georgia, under twenty-seven
years of age can be excluded.
4. Militia officers are not excluded.
5. The whole mass of our people
who fall within none of the excluded
classes above mentioned are free from
the disQudlifcation and may vote and
hold any Office in the State without
regard to the part they took in the
war. F.

Editors Journal:
Having been crowded with 6t1 .
for some time past, your unworthy
correspondent at this place has failed
+ to write any communication to the
= JOURNAL, and to my great surprise L
find that the world has been moving
lust as fast, if not faster, than before,
for / find that the seasons have come
and gone in such quick succession that
u dreary Winter is again upon US, and
all our bright hopes about the lst of
4 April and pleasant May Day have fed
with the Summer swallow.
see some items in your paper IN
relation to divorces in several coun-
ties in this State, and | herewith give
you some statistics from Pike. During
the last year there have been sixty
eight applications for divorce in the
courts of this county, and fifty four
of them have been successful. For
a county of twenty-four hundred
voters this will do pretty well.
Our Legislature must be walked up
= on the subject of divorce laws in this
State. They seem to shut their eyes
and stop their ears against this grow
ing'evil in our land.
Some are led to blame our Courts,
which is wrong; for, under certain
testimony, no Court can withhold a
divorce. Hence, couple try each
other while, and, if their spirits are
not congenial, they have only to sepa-
rate one year, and one of the party
prove abandonment, and divorce is
inevitable. %
We have had plenty of rain. The
streams are very high; money scarce,

8 The following notice of some Of
the candidates on the State Ticket of
the Rebel Democracy, in Kentucky
we cut from one of our exchanges: .rr
Gov. Helm, In and out of our Sen
ate, has repeatedly held the same
position against that ratified amend
ment, and for the sacred institu-
ton" In February, 1866, as Sena-
tor, he often said, II am free to de-
clare that if Kentucky should ever be
over run with negro lazzaroni, /
would give my vote and influence in
favor Of their reinstatement, the
amendment to the contrary notwith
standing. ;" Owing to him, important
sections of the slave code still deface
and dehle our statute book. Under
his inspiration, it has been fashion
able at Frankfort to spring and rush
through warlike resolves against all
officers and men, military or other. in
or out OF the State, belonging to or

elsewhere.

Preston S Confederate boys, who did
nothing to be ashamed of, but every.
thing to be proud Of" He and that
other notorious partisan ranger :"
Col. Phil. Lee, have been admitted to
the bar of the u. 5. Court. hed
"Register" Jim Dawson, is reported
to have often said, publicly and pri-
yately. that his connection with the

POLITICS In THE ARMY.
An Estimate Of the Political Views of
9nh - Our General Officers.

The Washington correspondent of
the Worcester Mass Spy, in allud-
ing to the Military Reconstruction
Bill, says: 4o q Fqe 5a ~
In.view of the power which, by the
bill, is to be intrusted. to the officers
of the army, it may be worth while in
quiring what their opinions will be
likely to be. OF course the General
and Lieutenant General are not to be
considered The one cannot be sent
from here, and the other has other
important duties assigned him. Grant
was formerly Democrat, is notsa man
of warm political feelings, and may
now be set down as Conservative
Republican. 5 b+l5Ea ~ 81
Sherman is organically wrong. He
is race hater, and oligarchic by in
stinct. Though his brain may accept
the issues of the war, his tempera-
ment will fight their logical conclu-
slons. He was thorough Unionist,
but intensely pro-slavery. He is of
the same stripe still. | speak from
some personal knowledge of his for
mer opinions. % IH8<
Of the Major Generals, Halleck we
all know; | cannot better describe
him than by narrating a comment
made yesterday by some gentlemen
who were looking at Ritchie's paint.,
ing of Mr.. Lincolu's death bed One
of them remarked of Gen. Halleck' s

less thinking that there is some
chance for him to become President. ?
8 If not that" responded third
he is certainly thinking that he
would be President, if the people on,y
could realize what an able man he
was"
He is on the Pacific, and out of tn
ring, for which we all have reason t
be thankful.
Meade has been a johnson man
He is, | believe, War Democra
in politics, and an aristocrat by in
stincts.
Sheridan never had any politics be
fore the war. He used OCCASIONAL
to declare in the early part of tn
war, when serving as Chief Quarter
master with the late General Samue
r. Curtis, that the Aboliti0nists an
Secessionists ought to be hung to
gether. Since that he has ravele
far. Sheridan may be considered a
Radical. m.
Thomas Old Steady us to m
mind the finest soldier and citizen tn
regular army has given US. He is a
eminently national man, is just, all
unbending, and endowed with gre'
administrative abilities. In many r,
spects he more resembles the histor
George Washington than any publ
man now on the stage.
Hancock is a johnson man, or
should rather say, was. He is col
sidered fair and just man.

order from GEN. pope.

AUGUSTA, GA, August 13.-The follow
ing order has been issued by Gen. Pope:
GENERAL ORDERS No. 49.-First, The
commanding General has become satisfied
that civil officers in this military district
I are only observing his order prohibiting
them from using any influence to deter or
dissuade the people from reconstructing
State governments under the recent act of
Congress so far as their own personal con-
versatiun is concerned, and are at the same
time by their official patronage, supporting
and encouraging newspapers, which are, al
most without exception opposing recon-
struction, and obstructing and embarrass-
ing the civil officers appointed by the
military District Commanders in the per-
Torrance of their duties by denunciation
and threats of future penalties for their Off
cial acts.
Second Such use of patronage of their
Offices is simply an evasion, perhaps unin-
territorial, of the provisions of the General
Order above referred to, and in fact, an en-
ployment of the machinery of Provisional
State governments to defeat the execution
of the reconstruction act.
Third. 1t is therefore ordered that all.
advertisements, or other official publica-
cations, heretofore or TO be hereafter pro-
vided for by State or municipal laws or
ordinances, be given by proper civil Off
GERS whose duty it is to have such pnblca-
tions made, to such newspapers, and
such only, as have not opposed, and do
not oppose, reconstruction under the acts
of Congress, nor attemptto obstruct, in any
manner, civil officers appointed by the
military authorities in this district i'm the
discharge of their duty, by threats of vio-
lence, of prosecution, or other penalties, as
soon as military protection is Withdrawn,
for acts performed in their official capacity.
Fourth--All officers in this military dis
trict and all officers of Freedmen's Bu-
reau and all boards of registration or other
persons in the employment of the United
States under its military jurisdiction are
directed to give prompt attention to the
enforcement of this order and to make an
immediate report to these headquarters
of any civil officer who violates its pros
visions.
