The ist Section of Aettiele 8d of the Constitution of Perinaylvania provides thaf"in elections by the citizens, every white freeman of the age of twenty-one years, having resided in this State one year, and in the election district where La offers to vote ten days immediately preceding such election, and within two years paid a State or county tax, which shall have been assessed at least ten days before the election, shall enjoy the rights of an elector; but a citizen of the United States who had previously been a qualified voter of this State, and ri - moved therefrom; and returned, and who shall have resided in the election district and paid taxes as aforesaid, shah be entitled to vote after residing in the State six months: Provided, That white freemen, citizens of the United States, between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-two years, and having resided in the State one Year, and in the elec tion district ten days as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote, though they shall not have paid taxes." This ig the organic and supreme law of election in the Commonwealth, and confers upon the citizen wbo possesses the qualifications it prescribes, a right to vote, which no legislatie power can either - abridge or destroy. It is equally beyond the power of the Legislature to confer upon any man the right to vote, who is deficient in any of the defined qualifications. It will be seen, therefore, that a per son entitled to vote must be a white male citizen of the United States, either natural born or naturalized, of the age of twenty-one years or more, and must have resided within the State one year, and in the election district where be offers to vote, ten days immediately preceding such election, and within two years paid a State or County tax, which must hive been assessed ten days before the election; unless he be a citizen be tween the ages of 21 and 22 years. Such a citizen, having the other quail-- cations required may vote, even though he has neither paid taxes nor been as sessed. The only exceptions to the above, re. late to persons of foreign birth who pos sessed certain qualifications previous to the 28th of march, 1790, which excep tions are now practically obsolete. The qualifications of an elector, or person qualified to vote, are so clearly set forth in the Constitution and the Act of 1889, that there can be little doubt of difficulty respecting the rights of the resident taxable native born citizens of the different election districts, to vote in those districts. The law is so plainly written that no man can mistake or misunderstand its meaning. It says no person shall be permitted to vote unless he has the prescribed qualification; and imposes severe penalties upon election officers for teceiving votes from persons deficient in any of these qualifications. Rights and Qualifications of Soldiers and iftrangsrs. The questions, therefore, most gener ally raised at the polls as to the qualifi cations of persons offering to vote, re late to the rights of strangers and soldiers to vote in districts where they are only temporarily sojourning, stationed or em ploLed. And ma the legal points involv ed in such cases, there is a wide spread misapprehension. Ten days sojourn in an election district, in pursuance of ones lawful calling though it be, does not qualify a person to vote there, unless he is bona fide resident of the district where he so offers to vote, and will make oath to that fact, and prove his residence there by at least one competent witness, who shall be a qualified elector, de. It is important in this connection, to ascertain the precise meaning of the word residence as used in the Constitu tion and laws with reference to the rights of suffrage. The Supreme Court, in the case of Chase vs. Miller, define the term "real , deuce to be the same as domicil—a word which means the place where a man es tablishes his abode, makes the seat of his property , and exercises his civil and ' political rights." In a strict legal sense, therefore, the residence of a man, within the meaning of the law, is where he has his true, Axed and permanent home and principal establishment, and to which, I rixthenever he ie.absent, he has the inters: tion of returning—animus revertendi. It is more a questios or, 4iitention than of constant bodily nesence therein of the individual. R indeed, be ab sent from home the greatest- portion of the time, and yeifireserve his residqnce and consequent right to vote at • the place he adopts as hiti abode, and to which he intends to return. A. man may be corporeally absent front his res idence fdirtait days oinier&lintriediate ly before the election, and' 441 return to his place of residence and• - vote on the very day of the election, legally and clearly within the meaning ofthe law.

In the syllabus of the ci.e-as reported, oc curs this plain _.prdwidtion as to the place where soldiers are entitled to vote: "THE .14GHTOF 4 SOLELEA-.TO VOTE , TO THE CONEITIVTION, IS ;CONFINED TO THE ELECTION DETRICT WHERE HE RESIDED AT THE TIME OrITTS 'ENVER/NO THE MILITARY EIRRYVE." And in the opinioz as delivered, it is said: "When a giddier returns to election district, he esumes all the civil rights of citizenshifi and his residence being unimpaired lir his temporary' ab sence, he has a right to vote on election day; but under the Constitution to which his fealty is due, heCan acquire no right to vote elsewhere eleept by a change of residence from one district to another." So long, therefore, as a soldier con tinues in the service of the United States, his right to cote is in the district where he resided when he enlisted or was drafted, unlesshe has changed his residence by actualremoval of his dom. icil into another district, and abandon. ed his residence in the district from which he removal. Such removal should be evinced by the clearest proof of an intention to take up a new abode. The changing of residence of the wife and children of the soldier, or if a single man living with hie parents, the change of his parents' home or domicil, might, for all the piarposes of voting, he suffi cient evidence, if sustained by the man's own oath, to entitle him to vote in a new district. But so mere rendezvous of the military in t given district, or camp of instruction, will confer upon the soldiers stationed there, (it matters not how long they may remain,) the right of suffrage in that district. And it makes no difference whether they are single or married men. The Taw draws no distinction between these classes of citizens in regard to voting qualifica tions. The Flights of Sick, IVounded and In valid Soldler4. Si, also, with the sick, Wounded and disabled soldiers in our hospitals and in_ valid camps. Their sojourn at a par ticular place, (whether single or married men,) does not constitute a residence within the meaning and purview of the law, and does not qualify them to vote there. They are in the military service, temporarily stationed in a certain dis trict, under orders from their superior officers, and it cannot be said, without a palpable perversion of the meaning of plain words, thiit they are resident& within the intention and meaning of the law. An indispensable element of suf frage is wanting in such cases; that is , a bona, fide residence in the district. No election Board has the power to dispense with that important qualification in an elector, and if he is deficient in it, his vote must not he received. And here it may be well to observe, that the Su preme Court never decided that soldiers could not vote, but simply that ALL citi zens --soldiers and civilians alike—must have the prescribed qualifications, and vote in accordanee with the Constitu tion and laws of the State. And to do this, they must vote in their own appro priate home districts, where their resi. dente continues throughout the term of their enlistment, unimpaired by their absence in the military service. To al low them to vote elsewhere, Would make the ballot-box an easy prey to fraud, and all its deplorable consegul ces. Strangers, having no acqualtin interest or property in a county, could control its elections, and defeat the will of its property-holding and resident citizens. And besides that, voters temporarily absent from their bone fide district resi dences could vote on a ten days' stay in a new district, "in pursuance of their lawful calling," and return to their homes, where they' are assessed and taxed as resident citizens, and again vote there, without their right to vote being questioned or challenged; thus perpetrating dangerous frauds upon the ballot-box without fear of being appre hended. This the lays never contem plated and never allowed. The evil ten dency of such a wholesale license to rambling voters was lt.ng since fore seen, and hence the exactness and care of the Legislature and courts in requir ing, as an indispensable qualification of suffrage, a boncifide and fixed residence in the district where a man offers to vote. It has previously been shown, that no mere sojourn or stay for ten or a hun dred days will constitute such a resi dence as the law'requires. A voter who - removes from one dis trict to another in . the same county, i within ten- daye.imMediately preceding the election, is 'entliled to vote in the district from which he removes, .! A persotx., absent on business of the ljnitedSta,tes, or of this State, does not lose hiss-residence in consequence of such abseace e , anti.on-his return to his last residence has a clear right to vote there. And in respect to citizens of other States who may have been within the limits of this State one year or more, in pursuance of their lawful calling or oth erwise, the law, as decided by the courts, is explicit. Such persons have no right to vote unless their residence in Pennsylvania was and is coupled with tl:4 intention to become citizens therea, and to abandon their citizen s* in other States. Such is the clearly written construc tion of the law by the highest judicial tribunal in the Commonwealth, and that COnstructionis decisive of the rights of soldiers to vote In their home districts, and nowhere else. It is binding upon all officers sworn to execute the laws, as well as upon all persons within the lim its of the Commonwealth, .an.d. must be obeied. Duties of Elleotion-ealcors.

To prevent illegal voting and unlaw ful interference with electors, the law provides, that "If any person not by law qualified shall fraudulently vote at any election in this Commonwealth, or being other wise qualified, shall vote out of his prop er district, or if any person knowing the want of such qillilifications, shall aid or procure such pepon to vote, the person offending shall, on conviction, be fined any sum not exceeding two hundred dollars, and be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three months. "If any person shall vote. at nitre than one election district, or otherwise fraudulently vote more than once on the same day, or shall fraudulently fold and deliver to the inspector two tickets together with the intent to illegally vote, or shall procure another to do so, he or they offendinishall, on conviction, be fined in any sum not less than fifty nor mwe than five hundred dollars, and be inipriSoned for any term not less than three nor more than twelve Months.
