At no period since the commencement of
the war has there been so confident a feeling
among Democrats as prevail at this time,
We scarcely meet a person who is conver
sant with the politics of the State, but is ass
shred that Judge Sharswood will be elected
by a large majority. Our information from
the East is of uniform tenor, and all may be
summed up ina few words The Democrats
are stye of carrying Pennsylvania. At
Washington, where polities 'are . more
thoroughly understood than in any other lo
cality, the same belief preVails among all
classes,--the Radicals conceding it among
themselves, though of course not i expressing
it publicly. The following dispatches con
firm what we say
TO TOE AV 0111,1)
WAgursoros, Sept. 18
- Quite Wriumber of Pennsylvania politicians
:ire in town to-tlav, and they all agree on the
certainty of ft Democratic victory in the
State at the October election. Philadelphia
city will assuredly go Democratic. The
Ta..4 1 ;"51 municipal ticket is obnoxious to
every decent man in me
while that nominated by the Conservatives
is composed of soldiers. and is unusually pop
ular among the opposition.
TO 17IE PITTS/WEGII POST
Ex-Senator Cowan left here last night for
'Pennsylvania, intending to make a few
speeches in support of the Democratic ticket
in that State. Most cheering accounts Come
from Pennsylvania, of the effective work
silently in progress, for the suecces's of the
Democratic ticket. Those who have recent
ly traversed the State, assert that the Repub
licans will be defeated by from fifteen to
twenty thomland votes.
Colonel Jordan, the Chairman of the Rad
ical State Committee, said at the recent Rad
ical meeting.at Horticultural flail, Phila
delphia, that, "from reports made to him,
he was apprehensive the Democratic party
would carry the of Philadelphia." What
he must think of the State, when the hither
to Radical city of Philadelphia is conceded
to the!Democracy, can be readily imagined.?
We assure our friends that in our honest
belief matters look brighter for the Demo
cratic cause than they have in many years.
The glorious results in California, Connecti
cut, Maine, Montana, Maryland and lien
lucky show what rimy he done by zealous
effort, and should inspire them with renewed
vigor. What tee iroltid impress tipoi; each
and every one of them is the importarav of get
ting out a fail Democratic rote. 'With our en
tire strength polled, there is no question of
success. The only danger - lies in the appre
hension that namy, inagining the election of
little importance, may neglect to turn out,
and let the campaign go by default. We say
again, and we wish that we could sound it
Into the ears of every friend of our principles
throughout the Commonwealth„that it is an
important election—that - upon its issue de
pends results that strike at our most vital in
terests. It will settle the question of our
jarisprudenee for years to come; and may be
the means of either handing us over like
helpless infants into the chains of Radical
bondage, or-relieve us forever from the yoke
sought to be imposed upon us. Let, then,
-every Conservative citizen be on band upon
the Ath of October,—not himself alone, but
tlimily,,friends and neighbors. It IS all
essential.that no vote shall he' lost. Argu
ment is 'of nn further avail; henceforth the
battle-cry must be, "a full. Democratic vote,
and certain victory."
THE CAMERON CANDIDATE.
We take the occasion to repeat, what we
said some weeks ago, that a-e cannot under
stand bow, journals like the Dispatch and
Gazette can with any show of-consistency
support Judge Williams for the Supreme
bench, in the full knowledge that he is the
special pet of Simon Cameron, 31orrow B.
Lowry, and the class- of men whom they
lave been for years holding up to the people
as the iricarnation of cgrruption and political,
infidelity. The. fact is as Well known, to
them, as that of their existence, that the nom--
inn - non of Juilge Williams bi- the Radical
Williamsport Convention, wits a great tri
ntupit for the old "Winnebago chief and his
clan. The Cameron wing in the Convention
was led by-Wayne McVeagh, Esq., of Ches
ter, iWinnebago's son-in-law; who was assist
ell to' Ned McPherson, the Clerk 'of Thad.
Steven's Rpm') o:ingress, The opponents of
Cameron had Win. 13. 3ann, of Philadelphia,
as their captain. Williams was the Cameron
candidate for Judge, and M. Russel Thayer,
was the anti-Cameron candidate.- Simon, as
usual, triumphed, whether by the same means
that he used last winter when he was elected
S. Senator, we 'know not; but the anti-
Cameron men hint very broadly that Williams
was Ira/arty nominated. •
When Cameron, last winter, secured his
election to the Senate over Curtin and others,
he was spoken of'hy More than two.thirdsof
the Radical journals of the State, fueled
- big the Dispatch and Gazette, "as one of the
most corrupt men In the Commonwealth,who
disg,razeiland demoralized every party whose
Cause he pretended to espouse ;" and they as
serted in, plain words that
. lie bought his
election with greenbacks. Now, as.WlThams - '
is the fast friend, the protege of Cameron, and
dwes'his nomination to him, how can the
friends of Curtin and others, who were. can.
(Dilates for U. tl. Senator last winter, and
who, owing to Cameron's great wealth and
free use of greenbacks, were sOmunercially
slaughtered, support him for Judge of the
Supreine Court 1 , . likydoing so they strength
en Cameron's hands. and augment his power,
which power he will use against them with
relentless vigor. If they are wise, and desire
to stop this bold, bad nun in his infamous
career, they will refuse to give their support
to the Connecticut schoolmaster, who has
beenseleCted by him for the highest judicial
posifferrin the State,..... Let them act as Cam
eron acts when his enemies. receive maim
dolts. tie strikes them at the polls. Let us
see now whether the Radical editors who,
bui a few months since, declaimed' so ; xehe-
Lucidly against Cameron's corrupt prActices,
have the pluck to rebuke him, now that an
opportunity is presented. If they desire to
be considered bonen - and consistent, they
'cannot and will not support Williams. Let
them;- then, for once show a little independ
ence, and refuse their sanction to the old Win
nebago's arrangements. Beyond all question,
or doubt, Judge Sharswood, the candidate of
the people, will be elected V a sweeping
- majority-. This is an admitted act, a fore
gone conclusion, and this is the time for those
independent Republicans who despise the
trickery; chicanery and corruption of Came.
pm, to place their seal of condemnation upon
him and his doings. Will they dole? We
shalt see,
A CUARCFE . TIIAVVAXIVOIC B B. MS.
miNsirkip.
We arraign the Radical party for gross
mismanagement of public affainy; with hav
ing augmented She debt of the nation, and
increased the taxes of the people to- an
amount unheard of in the history of nations.
In support of this bill of indictment we pre
sent the fact that in the year 1866 five hund
red and-ninety trillions of dollars were ex
tracted from the enterprise, business and
labor of the nation to meet the current de
mands of the government The expenditures
of the Radical authorities for' the same period
were one hundred millions more than those
of England, and one hundred and eighty
Millions more than those of France; The
greatest expenditure of England during the
Napoleonic Wars, when even Russia was
stimulated - by her subSidies—when large ar
mies were kept in Spain and on the Conti- ,
nent—never readied one hundred millions of
pounds—less than five hundred trillions of
dollars. England has thirty-six thousand
millions of property as a taxable basis. France
has forty thousand millions. The United
States have sixteen thousand millions. With
less than two-fifths of the taxable property,
our people pay largely more taxes. Upon
such evidence as this the Republiean_party
can and will be convicted of corrujitibn and
misrule by the people at the coming election
in this States.
When the Radical party came into power
the national debt was only eighty millions.
-Now that portion bearing interest amounts
to twenty-two-hundred millions, 'and to this
must be added a large proportion of a differ-
ent kind of indebtedness, but still a burden
upon the labor and industry of the country.
When the Radicals assumed the reins of gov
ernment taxes were comparatively light.
Now they,consume a large percentage of
the profits - of all trades,' professions and
occupations, The Radicals have squandered
the revenue of the nation, created hosts of
unnecessaty office holders to feed and 'fatten
upon the industry of thtsmasses, and in this,
manner made the imposition of taxes unheard
of in the history of this or other nations u
necessity. Nor is them a single reason to
believe that The Radicals design -to act in
such a manner as to commence a reformation
in this matter of debt and taxation. During
the war they declared that a "national debt
was is national blessing," and since the sus
pension of hostilities they have acted upon
the-same theory. If the people are, tired of
• debt and taxation, If they wish to see a sys
tem inaugurated which will diminish the one
and reduce.the other, they must meet the-is
sue at the polls, anti elect men pledged to
economy, retrenchment and retbrns The
Radical Convention of this State omitted all
mention of this matter in their platform.
They pledged their candidate for Supreme
Attlee to de - Me all cast "in harmony With
the political opinions of the majority of the
people but they raised to declare that
economy should -be practiced by those in
power, in order that debt and taxation might
be diminished. The people are taxed because
the Radicals are in power. Remove the cause
and the effect will follow.
WHERE IT WILL LEAD TO.
In Alabama the blacks have over fifteen
thousand majority of registered votes ; itt
Louisiana they have over thirty-eight thous
and majority ; in North Carolina they are
running largely ahead of the whites; In
South Carolina they .have already twenty.
five thousand majority ; in Mississippi they
have a large majority ; in,Plorida their ma
jority is as two to one ; in Georgia they are
four thousand ahead. The whites have a
majority in Virginia, and probably will have
in Arkansas and Texas—only three out of
the ten Southern States. Knowing that the
blacks have the advantage in point of Mune
hers in the States above named, the negroes
are moving to secure their superiority by in
sisting upon being appointed or elected to
federal and local offices_ If the white men
of this State would know where the negro
equality doctrines, held and promulgated by
the Radical party of Pennsylvania and their
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court,
will lead, let them read the following letter
from a negro,. prablished in the New Orleans
Times, As showing the disposition of the
negroes under the insidious teachings of se
cret Radical agents, this letter is strikingly
suggestive. . Thiy write!, says . •
"Having been a close observer of the
course of political . eyents in the tea States
in the course of reconstruction, I, in behalf
of myself and other colored citizens of this
city, fed it our duty apd privilege to give to
the public through your journal, the course
we intend to pursue in this city and State.
I, as far as I know, am a Democrat, and so
are all our clubs, and we intend to (wry out
the full Democratic Republican principles to
the letter. Majorities must rule--minorities
must submit Now, it is demonstrated that
we have a dear majority in this and other
districts. We have seen enough of dema
gogues. Your suggestion a few days "since
that we should elect one colored man Sena
tor with one. white to advise, is not accepta
ble to us. We say we will elect colonel men
to every office of honor and profit in the
of the people, State or munieipal, from Gov
ernor to.constable.from mayor to policeman
or poundkeeper, if we have a majority, which*
we certainly Luatir in the city niter the Regis
try Board revise the list We know when
white men had the power they held all the
4ftiees. Why..t-Because they had the vote,
and of course the • power. • Now, things are
reversed ; se have the votes and, of course
the power, and, if there. is. any doubt about,
it we have only to sound the Congressional
bugle and will have it. We intend to show
to this city, State, and the world, that we are.
capable of governing, not only ourselves, Taut
white men. My former master (rouble was a
good man) thought that white men would goy
e ro.t ake care o f and protect the nigger,bee....mse
God g,iCti them the right and made it their
duty so to do. We are willing to do the
fsattle by you. We shall have rto.use for
Goldman or IVaples, or any of their class
after our next State.. election. It is nut an
easy matter to disfranchise us after we once
have the elective franchise. Hancock will
be powerless for evil if we only keep our
secret political organization.. We have com
menced organizing our new fire department,
and one year will find the $120,000 per year
now pad: to white freemen transferral to
worthy reconstructed citizens of African de
scent ' In a few years it will not be a
don whetherahere will be schools for color
ed children, but it will be whether white
children will be admitted to our institutions
of learning. The bottom rail is on top, and
Yankees, as well as-all• the minority, must.
take a back seat."
PAVING OPP TtIN DEhn.
Among the many plans introduced for re-
Hewing the people from the load of heavy
taxation, the one which is just now receiving
most attention is that which proposes to take
up the federal bonds and redeem theta in
greenbacks. In the West this scheme seems
to meet with almost general favor, while in .
the East it has been endorsed by such Con
spicuous Radicals as Thad. Stevens and Ben.
B(itler. We are not prepared at present to
give the subject that thorough consideration
which we desire before committing ourself
for or against it, but as • it is one of general
Interest, and promises before loag , to be the
leading politics) Wine, we copy the following
extract from a speech of Hon. Geo.. H. Pen
dleton, in its favor, that our readers =Thrive
a chance of seeing the arguments be Which it
is upheld, and form their decision accord
ingly. It was delivered in response to a, ser
enade to that gentleman at Cleveland, on the
ISth inst.:
"Let me state to you the position We
have 'au enormous debt. We have a rate of
taxation beyond ail example oppreMive. We
have a system of legal tender notes and a
system of National nks. I am sorry we
have seen theta.' I did not vote for them arid
am not responsible for them. Theyare great
evils. They ought to be gottm rid of And
if they present any means of assisting us in
getting rid of them we ought to seize it. The
non-interest paying (lett, consisting of green
back and tmliguldateti - debt, amounts to about
#800,000,000. The proposition of the • Re
publicans is to convert this debt . into - bonds
which . pay interest in gold. The Interest on
those bonds will be 108,000,000 in gem A n.
nuttily. The result will be to increase by that
amount the expenses, to convert active espl.
•
tal to inactivetapital, aid thus to increase
the number of those who" do not pay taxes,
and to increase the burdens of those wbo do
pay taxes. I maintain that this debt ought
not to be so converted—that these $48,009,000
in gold should be saved. There are four
hundred millions of these bonds in the Trea
sury as security for the National Bank cur
rency.- They are represented by a near
ly equal amount of bank-notes. They call
for twenty-four millions of dollars in gold
nunually, as interest. Now, I maintain that
these bonds shonl4l be redeemed in green
backs. The result would be that the green.
backs would take emplace of the hank notes,
which would be. called in, and that twenty.
four million dollars of interest would be
saved. -If , that twenty-four millions were
added to the forty-eight millions of which I
have spoken, you have seventy-two millions
in gold annually; and this, iroperly- coin
pounded, would pay the whole debt, Panel
pal and interest, in fifteen years. And now,
observe that thus far I have not proposed to
add. one dollar to your taxes, nor one dollar
to the currency. This process of redemption
can be pressed as fast as the business and Val
ues of the country will bear an expansion of
the currency. lam satisfied they can bear
more now. I ant satisfied-that the good to
result will more than compensate fbr the evils.
How fur the expansion may be safely carried.
I cannot pretend, with exactness-to say. All
that I niatet,ain is this : That lust as rapidly
as the prosperous condition. of business
will permit it, the bonds should be redeemed
in greenbacks; for Just an fast will the inter
est be paid, the taxes be reduced, and labor
be relieved from the burdens.which now so
heavily oppress it." '
SHERIDAVS ADMINISTRATION.
The telegraph announced a few days ago
thatlite New Orleans Republican, the Radi
cal organ of that city, in an article reviewing
Sheridan's administration, had condemned
it. The following is the article referred to;
[From the Republican, (Radical) Sept. 64
"To sum up, Gen. Sheridan, after two
years authority and five months of absolute
control in this district, leaves the city of New
Orleans, the chief point of interest In it, in a
deplorable condition—financial, political; and
sanitary, its treasury robbed by rebel offi
cials under his very nose, the c 31190 of Re
publicanism no more advance.' among .its
white citizens than it Was two years ago, and
an epidemic raging which the experience of
the last five years seems at least to teach us
might have been avoided by care and clean
liness.
"It is as a soldier, and not as a statesman,
that General Sheridan's name will illustrate
the pap of American history ; and we trust
that his career in the civil administration 'of
this district will furnish another lesson to the
American people not to regardservicespare
ly military -As indicittt?g ability for high mil
or political positions."
There is more truth than poetry and more
force than fietiotrin all this.
THE, VAITB OF THE NATION.
We hear a great deal said now-a-days about
the" plighted faith of the nation." The na
tion is pledged to do so and so,constantly re
iterate the Radicals. To hear these people
talk, one would - think they regarded pledges
very sacred things, but, alas, like many
other persons their precepts are better than
their practise. A cotemporary hauls them
over the coals on the snbjeet of plighted
faith in the following lively manner:
" Wasn't the faith of the nation solemnly
pledged, Ist, that the war"was not waged for
the purpose of interfering with the domestic
institutions of the South? 2d, that it wasnot
waged for the subjugation - or conquest of the
South R 3d, that the States of the South should
be re-admitted into the Union with their sov
ereignty, rights, and even their dignity un
impaired? Wasn't the faith of the nation,
we ask, pledged to each of these propositions.
and in each of them broken ? And by whom ?
By the very brazen political rascals who are
now appealing to the betrayed and beggared
toilers of the land, and, In the name of the
nation's, faith; forsook, asking them to
pay the 'bonded Shylocks their unbought in
terest, and this, though their own little ones
shall go hungry and in raga r •
ZUDGE SUARSWOOD.
Will sonic Radical paper tell us, why the
Republicans of Philadelphia, during the
midst of the late war,refused to snake a nom
ination against Judge Sharswooti when he
'was the candidate of the Democratic party
for Judge of the District Court of Philadel
phia? If he was a Nullifier, Secessionist,
Traitor, toe., as they now charge, why did
the' Republicans of his own city endorse
him at the most critical point in the late
war ? Over forty thousand Republicans of
Philadelphia voted for - Judge Sharswood
when he wiis last a candidate . for the . posi
tion he now fills so ably. He was then re
garded as sufficiently loyal, and was consid
ered sound on all- constitutional question's.
No paper in Philadelphia then spoke of ,hiur
except in terms of the highest praise. The
assaults made by them upon him now, conic
with a very had grace.- - Fither they lied when
they praised him, ,or: they are • lying now.
Which ills any man of sense can easily tell
for himself.
As exchange-7cll remarks that "if the
Southern States Were adniitted, and the in
dustry of that section encouraged by wise
/egislation and a liberal and proper distribu
tion of capital, the business ,of the North
would soon feel a returning tide of prosperi
ty, Such a course of action would also make
possible a reduction in the army, and thus
preent millions from being expended by the
War Department. Rut so long as the Radi
cal party is in power,lhe South will be kept
in a comparatively nnprodtMtive state, and
the heaviest burden of tuitional expenses
must fall_ upon .the butinass of the North.
now the present weigbeis affecting their in-:
terests, Northern men, can reaaily determine,
and they can alsO determine, and they van
also calculate what. effect an increase will
have.• That increase will assuredly come if
the Radicals remain in power„ and we also
press that fact upon the businms men tor coo
shleratioa during the fall months when
they are looking over The buslnesa ot the past
half year."
THE COMING ELECTIONS.
Two weeks- from Tuesday last elections
will be held in the States of Pemisylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and lowa. Two of these States,
Pennsylvania and Indiana, hay . e been quite
closely contested. Last year the Republican
majority in Pennsylvania was 17,178. Should
the DeMocrats gain proportionately in this
State as they have just gained in Maine, the
majority against the Radicals would be fifty
thousand ! In Ohio, at the last election, the
Radical Majority was 42,680, and a gain equal
to that of. Maine would give the Democrats
about 12,000 majority. In Indiana the Ridi
cal majority was last year 14,209,• and the
Democrats there can haVe about 33,000 ma
lenity next Montit,tiy doing as well as their
brethren In Maine. 'Applying the same rule
to New York State, and the result Would be
aStotradtpg. Fenton's majority last year *as
13,78 A, and at the rate of 0 3 gain in Maine,
the Democrats would have a majority of
about ¢ round 100,000 f.
Tuft CONDITION OP TUE SOUTIL
The Hon. Win. A. Graham, of North Caro
lina, whom the Whigs once run for the Vice-
Presidency, in a letter recently published,
thus depicts the condition of-the South:
"The situation of the States of the South is
indeed melancholY. We are realizing the
truth of the declaration of Mr. Fox, that the
most dangerous orali revolutions is restom
tion. The idea of Constraining the States by
military dominion into adoption of constitu
tions for local governments, with the right of
suffrage • extended t to negroes, without any
qualification except being of the male sex
and over twenty-can years of age, and by, the
Howard amendment to the Constitution of
the United States at the same time disfran
chising all men of experience and influence
among us, is the most solemn farce that has
been iniacted In all history. It is to roll back the.
tide of eivilUzation for centuries at least, and
place. the ballot in the bands' of a constitu
ency less qualified for 'the'• office of govern
ment than has eve.r.befare exercised Ulu any
Republican .country."
- Tut, (matte aiyaoftitC Democratic ism- -
didata for Jury Commistioier :
"Mr. Stranshan is well qualified ix the
pmitlen, and will be generally accepted. He
is a leading citizen of Union, and a !maw
to the Republican nominee for ..Assembly,
John D Stmna/unt, Esq." . •
AsoTuns azigrocmiTic vicTorty:
The adoption , of the new Constituticnt in
Maryland, by a majority of about 'MOM
votes, is another very convincing sign of the;
popular reaction. With a unanimity never
before attained at any election—by the vote
of every county in the State—the odious
Constitution imposed by the ,tyranny of n
minetily,t backed by the poWer. of military'
despotism, has been. swept fromesistatee;
soon to be followed by those individuals who .
sought and accepted office under its baneful
influence. Without mentioning, , in, detail,
all the issues at stake. it may be said that the
12 9 V, ,C9ustitation expresses • the thoughtful
conservative sentiment of the State as against
the Radical retaliatory policy. , Its chief
merits are the restoration of a large class of
disfranchised persona to the privilege of the
ballot and the abolition - of test oaths: With
the end of the war the reason for disfran
chisement and test oaths ceased to exist, and
the old Constitution perpetrated an injustice
and wrong. The,20,000 majority for the new
and liberal one 'must -be ismounted for on
snbtantially the same theory as the Conaerva
titre triumph in California and the largely re
, ducedßadicalvote in Maine. -
TRE PROSPECT.
Our eastern exchanges all unite in'declar
ing " the political prospect in Pennsylvania
as gloriously bright. A great victory
. lies
within our grasp. We have only to perfect
our organization and to bring our entire vote
to the polls to secure it, The recent elections
show that the tide has turned. We can only
be beaten by our want of energy. The work
to be done calls for the unabated diligence
and the most actiVe exertions of every con
servative citizen. The election. is rapidly
approaching. But little time Is left to com
plete the necessary organization. It must be
done, done thoroughly, and done .at once.
We urge that meetings for organization be
ealled , at once wherever it has not already
been done. Let •no time be lost. Let no
means ,be left unemployed to bring out the
entire vote of every ward and township.
Work asmenshoUld who feel the importance
of the great issues involved in the pending
COrtiCA and all will he well."
TICE object of the Radicals is to make the
negro vote the balanc6 of power in our po
litical system and government. A small par
ty sometimes holds the balance, as we ellen
see, in both State and general elections. The
four millions of blacks in the South may be
come the ruling power of the republic
through holding that balance. We sea al
ready bow- demoralized and extreme the Re
publican party has become in its efforts to
get the negro vote. What will not that party
'or any other do to gain power through the
negro vote, if that vote can give it? ' In fact
we arc now in danger of having this great
republic governed by the negroes. This is
" the main question . " really at issue, and all
the pretence about negro rights is sheer hum
bug:
G. GRAXT'S FATHER.—The Democrats
of :Cincinnati held a meeting on Friday
evening last, to indorse the nomination of
Gyn. Carey, 'who is `running for Congress in
the Second Congressional District of Ohio.
Towardi the close of the meeting Jesse
Grant, the father of Gen. Grant, was present
ed to the audience by the president, and Was
received with hearty cheers and called upon
for a speech. He said he was too into to
make any extended remarks. All he would
hove to say would be in reference to the rec
ords of the two men. He thought General
Carey was entitled to the confidence of the
people, and should have their support.
SEVERAL Radical Journals have given cur
rency to an erroneous report that their party
will have two majority, on joint ballot, In the
California Legislature. The actual aifttation
is as follows : 20 Senators (14 Radieahi and C .
Democrat) hold over, and 20 (7 Radicals
-and 13 Democrats) have been elected, matting
the Senate stand : 21 Radicab, 19 Demo

The deserter law; !mkt by Democrats to be
unconstitutional and void, and so decided by
ii„every Court to which bas bean suffinlitod,
rtnidep fel folloWls : r
All persons who have ileserfell
or- naval service of the United States; and
who have not been. discharged or relieved
from the penalty or disability •therein provid
ed,,are deemed and taken to have voluntarily
relinquished and forfeited their rights' to -be
come citizens, are deprived of exercisingany
rights oil citizens thereof; and are not quali
fied electors of this Commonwealth, and it is
tiolltwful for any board to receive or for them
toe offer Their , gleedan. - vtlhoers' ac
cepting the sank: are liable flir each offence to
a fine not less than #lOO, and itnprisontneet
in the county: not less thati sift( days.
• The same penalty is provided for the disquali
fled Orson, in case he offers. to vote, and for
any one who endeavors to persuade hint to
:cog"& eiaf lto Adjutaiiii4niral
keep complete lists of all who come under
- the appellation of deserters, and furnish cop
ies of them to the Clerks the Courts in the
several counties, who most preserve them for
the. free access of the public, and provide
certified copittt nit request.
These certified copies‘shall be prima flight
evidence 'of • desertion betbre any election
board; provided, that if .the person accused
of desertion shall have been acquitted there
of, or honorably dischargtid, it shall entitle
hint to the right Of franchise.
It shall be
- the duty of the board to exam
ine every person accused of desertion; on
oath or affirmation as to,the charge; and if
he swears falsely, he is liable to punishment
for perjury.
The Sheriffs of the several counties are re
, Tilted to publish the disfradeldiement act in
their proclamations.
The provisions of the law itliply toper:ions
who voluntarily served in the ,Canfederate
trim_y or navy: •
We think it well to give all 'the leading
features of. the act, that our friends may know
exactly-what it. provides. The grounds on
'Which Democrats claim it-to be illegal are as
• follows:
It nullifies the clause of the State . Consti
tution, given above, which fixes 'the qualifi
cations of voters. All classes not prohibited
by, the - Gmtstiteti on,we allege, um voters,
and cannot be disfranchised by act of the
Legislature.
It plicei lit the handi` of Clectinir officers
, the right to try for offenses, which claim they
do not possess. The Constitution says all
trials for crimes shall be by Court and jury,
and through the ordinary process of law, -
It punishes men . for alleged offences,- for
which they have net been ditty tried and
convicted. '
