following statement touching Legislation
upon the clergy in soms OF th. States ;

tutionaI provisions excluding clergymeI
from some of the privileges of citizen
ship. III Delaware a Clergyman, while
ain the exercise of the pastoral or cleri-
cal functions, is made constituhonaiiy

Kentucky, Mary aud. and Tennessee be
is not eligible &c the legislature, and IN
| Kentucky not eligible to the Office OF
| governor On the other hand. in many
| OF the states they enjoy special eYsmp-
tons, either by constitutions or laws.
They are not required TO perform militia
duty or jury duty; and as to taxation,
they are either wholly exempt or exempt
to special amount. All the recent con-
stitn.ioas, however. ike that OF Maine,
very appropriately make no distinction
between clergymen and other citizens.
