PANACA. Oct. 20. 1854.

here that has been absent from the State |
Rpr over four years, because he has voted /
nowhere else. The man has been absent |
in Utah and Arizona for that period, and |
to Panaca about two weeks ago |
and registered.
The Bishop says he has something to |
say about this place, for he gets his ad- |
vice from headquarters and he knows
what he is about.
Yours truly, -
The man spoken of is not any more en-
titled to a vote in Nevada than he is to
vote in Mississippi. A person must pos
sess actual residence, and not construc.
tive The law is very plain on this mat
ter. The Bishop may have considerable
to say in regard to running Panaca, and
ordering his subjects how to vote, but he
does not possess sufficient power to make
the election laws of Nevada subservient
to his wishes. Mr.. Findlay, of Panaca,
the Democratic nominee for District At
torney, certainly should have possessed
sufficient knowledge of the law to have
better posted Bishop Lee. Article H.,
Section |, of the Constitution of the State
of Nevada, on the right of suffrage, says:
Sec. |. Every white male citizen of
the United States mot laboring under
the disabilities named in this Constitu-
tion), of the age of twenty .one years and
upwards, who shall have ACTUALLY,
and not CONSTRUCTIyELY, resided in
the State six months, and in the district
or county thirty days next preceding any
election, shall be entitled to a vote for all
officers that now are or hereafter may be
elected by the people, and upon all ques-
tions submitted to the electors at such
election; provided, that no person who
has been or may be convicted of treason
or felony in any State or Territory of the
United States, unless restored to civil
rights; and no person who, after arriving
| at the age of eighteen years, shall have
voluntarily born arms against the
United States, or held civil or military
| Office under the so-called Confederate
States, or either of them, unless an
amnesty be granted to such by the FEEDER
al Government; and no idiot or insane
person shall be entitled to the privilege
of an elector.
Bishop Lee should bear in mind that
the Mormons have not yet obtained con.
troll of the Government, and it would be
we'll for him not to NEEDLE with the law,
or Panaca Precinct will be thrown out.
