On the other hand, without
such intention, no residence
can be acquired by being sta
toned in a State, no matter
how long the person may re-
main stationed there. Deser-
ton from the army of the u.
! States volunteer or regular
works Acknowledgement, unles:
the person is relieved by an un'
conditional pardon, or by Con
gressional action.
7. No person is 'disfranchis-
ed tor participation in rebellion
by the constitution and laws Of
Virginia. But a person is dis.
tranchised for participation in
rebellion by the laws of any
State where any legal State
4 Government now exists, pro-
vided he has been a citizen of
such State at any time during
the existence of such disfran-
chising laws.
8. All persons who volunta-
rily joined the rebel army, and
all personsin that army, wh eth
er volunteers or conseripts, who
committed voluntarily any hos
tile act, thereby engaged in in
surrection or rebellion. Any
person, however, who was fore
ed INTO the rebel army, but
avoided, as far as possible, do
ing hostile acts, and escaped
from that army as soon as pos
sible, cannot be said to have
engaged in the rebellion.
9. All who exercised the
functions of any Office under
the Confederate Government, or
the Government of any of the
Confederate States, which func-
tions were of a nature to aid in
prosecuting the war, or main
tanning the hostile character Of
those governments, engaged in
the rebellion or gave aid or
comfort to the enemy.
10, Voting, in convention,
for the Ordinance ofSecession,
OF, at the ulootion, for ito r~t;
fication, like any other act of
engaging in rebellion or adher-
ing to the enemy, if done vol
unfairly, works disfranch ise-
ment Of the person who had
previously held one of the spe-
Gifted offices; but if the act was
committed involuntarily,
through fear or force, it does
not work Acknowledgement.
Any act is assumed to have
been voluntary unless the con-
trary is shown by satisfactory
evidence. In reference to this
and other questions the oath
of the person applying for re-
gistration is to be given such
weight as, in the opinion ofthe
Board, it is entitled to.
II. Those who voluntarily
furnished supplies of food,
clothing, arms, ammunition,
horses or mules, or any other
material of war, or labor or
service of any kind, to the Con-
federate military or naval
forces, or money, by loan or
otherwise, to the Confederate
Government, or aidedssin any
way the raising, organization,
or equipment of troops, gave
aid and comfort to the enemy,
and participated in the rebel
lion and civil war against the
United States.
IL. To give individual SOL
d'ers food or clothing enough
to relieve present suffering, or
to minister to the sick or woun-
ded, are simple acts of charity
or humanity, and do not con-
stitute giving aid or comfort
to the enemy. A parent may
give his son who belongs to the
hostile army food and clothing
for his own use, but if he give
him a gun, horse, or other
thing, to be used for hos tile
purposes, he thereby gives aid
and comfort to the enemy.
10. Executive pardon or am
nesty does not remove the dis
reimbursement under the acts of
Congress-; but removal of poll
tica.- disabilities by a joint re-
solution of Congress removes
the disability when the oath OF
