1800.
Skctio 1. Be it enacted by the Senate

I nlsomake known aad give notice, as in

am directed that every person except
Justices of the Peace, who shall hold liny
oilice appoiutment of trust or profit, under
the Government of the United States, or
this Stato. or any city or inaorporied dis
trict whether a commissioned officer or

islative or judiciary or executive depart
ment of this State or of the United States,

holding or exercising at the same time the
otiico or appointment of Judge, Inspector
or Clerk, of any election of this Common
wealth, and that no Inspector or Judge
shall be eligible to any office then to be

Also in the 4th section of the Act of As
rembly, entitled ' An act relating to elect
ions and for othor purposes," approved
April 10th 1800, ii is enacted that the 14th
section shall be so constructed as to pre.
veot any militia or borough officer from

Wberias. The Filteenth Amendment
of the Constitution of the United States is
as follows:
Section 1. The right of citizens of the
United Slates to vole shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
State on account of race, oolor, or previous
condition of servitude,
Section 2. That Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by appro
priate legislation,
And whereas. The Congress of the
United Stntes, on the thirty-first day ot
March 1870, passed an aot entitled, "An
act to enforce tho right of citizens of tho
United States to vote in the several States
of the Union, ind for other purposes," the
first and second sections of which are as
follows:
Ue it enacted, &e., That all citizens of

vote at all such elections, without distinct

usage, or regulation of auy State or Terri
tory, or by or under its authority, to the
contrary, notwithstanding.
Section 2. And be it further enicted,
That if by or under the authority of the

auy Territory, uny act. is or Bhall be re
quired to be done as a prerequisite or quali
fication for voting, and by such constitu
tion or laws persons or officers are or shall
bee barged with the performance of duties
in furnishig to citizens an opportunity to
preform such prerequisites, or to beioine
qualified to votv uhail bu (be dutj vl every
su:h person and officers to give all citizens
of the United States the name and equal op
portunity to perform such prerequisite and
to become qualified to vote without distinct

servitude; and if any such persons or offi
cers shall refuse or knowingly omit to give
full eff ect to this section, he shall for every
such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of five
hundred dollars; to the person aggrieved
thereby, to be recovered by an action on
the case, with full costs and such allow
ance for council foes as the court shall
deem just, and shall also for every such
offence be deemed'guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall on coLvictioii thereof be fined
nut less than five hundred dollars or to be
imprisoned not less than oue mouth and
nit more than one year, or both, at the

And whereas. It is declared by the

stitution and of the U.3. tnat "This Consti
tution of the Uni cd States which shall be
mudo in pursuance thereof shall be the
supieme laws of the land anything in
the Constitution or laws of any Slite, to the

And whereat, The Legislature of this
Commonwealth, on the Oih of April 1870,
passed an act entitled "A further supple
ment to the act relating to elections in this
Commonwealth," the tenth section provides
as follows
Section 10. That to much of every act

Commonwealth, be and the same is hereby
repealed, and that hereafter a'l freemen
without distinction of color, shall be en

inasmuch as its opposition to bad nomina

io promote the established principles of
the Republican party, we Bhall in the fu

shall by trickery or uny unfair means
manage to secure a place on tho ticket.
