We print this morning copious
extracts from the decision of Chief
Justice Chase, at Richmond, on the
effect of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United
States on persons who participated
in the rebellion holding office under
the State governments. The third
section of the amendment must be
Interpreted, he says, in a manner
that shall not make it repugnant TO
other provisions of the constitution
in reference 10 er post fdcfO laws, and
to depriving persons Of the right of
life, liberty and property without
due process Of law. The punitive
character of the third section is re
pugnant to these provisions. Far
Their, the decision hIdds the prohi-
bition TO be in the nature of pun
ishmeht and not as qualification.
1t follows, logically, that any State
law depriving persons of the right
to hold Office on account Of par
ticipatien in the rebellion, without
due process of law and trial and
conviction 10y court, is repugnant
TO the constitution Of the United
States. This is another indirect
blow st prescription and disfran-
chisepent and test oaths.
