4. No person is !. disfranchised for par
ticipation in rebellion " by the Constitution
or laws of Virginia. But person is dis
franchised for participation in rebellion by
the laws Of any State where q" legal State
Government now exists" provided he has
been citizen Of such State at any time
during the existence of such disfranchising
law.

dinance Of secession, like any other act Of
engaging in rebellion or adheripg to the
enemy, If done uoluntarily, works disfran-
chisement of the person who had preyi-

but if the act was committed voluntarily,
through fear or force, it does not work dis
franchisement. Any act is assumed to
have been voluntary unless the contrary
is shown by satisfactory evidence. In re-
ference to this and other questions the
oath of the person applying for registra=
tion is to be given such weight as, in the
opinion of the Board, it is entitled to.

elaborate opinion in full in the case, he
would indicate in general terms his views
upon the subject. The first question which
came up was whether we are in state OF
war or of peace. The court holds that we
are in neither; between the two there is
always a middle state, called state OF
siege, or truce, or armistlce, and In MS
opinion we are in that latter state. Inc
fact was apparent to all, every one knew,
that we had been in state of war. Were
no other evidence existing, the acts of
Congress would be sufficient to establish
the fact. The power to declare war gave
also the power to declare peace, and Con-
gress, the war-making power of our coun-
try, had not yet declared peace. AS be-
fore said, there is always an intermediate
state between war and peace, during which
country which has been the seat Of war
has to be governed by the military, into
whose hands all civil power for the time
being is placed. All who have read inter-
national law are familiar with this fact.
We have, most unfortunately, been long
in this condition.
Three years have passed since active
hostilities ceased, and still peace has not
come. Law, order, and quiet should have
zeigned before the expiration of six
months, but unfortunately difficulty
sprung up between the President and Con-
gress, the former claiming the right to ad.
NIT the rebel States at once. Congress,
the law-making power, proclaimed the
country in state of siege, and therefore
that the rebel States are not entitled to be
admitted. The court considered Con-
gress right. It alone had the right to say
when peace has come.
So far as this case is concerned, it seem.
ed to the court that the act of the I'd ,oi
March, 1867, was merely declaratory, and
! it gives Congress the right to say that this
state of siege, truce, or arnlistice shall
J continue, and the military has been de-

HANCOCK is evidently Irregular in the
Bread and Butter Brigade. The future
historian in describing the props of "My
Policy" will assign him place beside
Doolittle, Garrett Davis, Aunty Welles
and 4" Gum y Blair. Viewed in this
attitude, his honorable achievements
upon the field Of war will be obscured
and forgotten, and his fame will get its
only distinctive character from that of
the company he keeps. He will simply
be an incident in the sum total of an
accidental Presidents career of I'M
paralleled infamy. We have no doubt
now that be would, if an opportunity
offered itself, perform something des-
perate-almost gallant-to save johnson
and himself from utter disgrace. But
he has consented to become a mere
militiaman-a Maryland militiaman, at
that-by asserting to the position which
he now occupies with regard to the
matter of impeachment. His present
command is simply a menace to Con-
gress. Being a powerless, empty
menace, it will live only just SO long as
his chosen masters official life CONT
nues aud he and it and johnson will
suffer aspeedy, Simultaneous abatement;
and places that have known them will
know them no more, forever.

pointmeut made by the County Com
mittee, the primary elections of thu
Unionists of this county will be hello
in Carson and Empire this evening
According to the apportionment made
BY the County Committee, Carson PIE
clint is entitled to four delegates and
Empire precint to two. The cumbrous
system of selecting delegates in Coun'
~ Convention has been dispensed with
and direct vote at the polls has been
preferred, instead. In this and Empire
precinct, candidates have already been
agreed upon by the bulk of the party,
formally assembled and the returns
will doubtless show heavier vote and
more general unanimity of purpose
than have ever before been exhibited in
the county. The names agreed upon
by the members of the Union League,
as already made public through the col
umns of the APPEAL, are: Francis
Mayer, (Butcher); J. S. Van Dyke
tBlacksmith); William Corbett, (Hotel
Keeper; and George ellison, (Mer-
chant). These are, each and all, men
of excellent reputation in the commu-
nifty, permanent settlers and married
men, and of frst-rate standing in the
Uoion party. They represent no clique,
no faction but are emphatically of and
for the people and are identified with
the best interests of the country, the
party and the town. The two men
selected at Z npire are John Hanson and
A. Ritchey both of them old residents
Of the county, sterling Unionists and
highly respected by their townsmen and
The preliminary action thus taken by
