14
A. One act was, desiring the success of the rebel army
over our army; another act, was desiring the dissolution of
this Union and the recognition of the Southern Confederacy,
opposition to this government raising men and money for the
suppressing the rebellion, trading and trafficking with the
States in rebellion, hurrahing for Jeff Davis and other causes
which I don't at this time recollect.
16th. Did you or not enquire of persons applying for regis-
tration, how they had voted at previous elections?
A. In one particular base we did, in the case of Mr. Crisr-
field and Mr. Henry, hut before we made the enquiry, we
asked them if they heard Mr Crisfield and Mr. Henry, speak in
Court House in Princess Anne, that if they heard Mr. Henry
say that he would not vote for a man or a dollar to carry on
the war, that he would vote for the recognition of the inde-
pendence of the Southern Confederacy, and that any man
who voted for Mr. Henry, knowing that if he were elected to
Congress, he would vote for the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy, he was in our estimation a disloyal man.
37th. Did you or not, exclude persons from registration as
qualified voters, who did vote for Mr. Henry?
A. Not on that ground alone.
18th. What additional evidence did you require?
A. If they knew Mr. Henry's views, we considered that
enough. There were some men registered whom we did be-
lieve voted for Mr. Henry, but said that they did not know
his views.
19th. Did you always require evidence on oath as to the
acts of disqualification ?
A. We did.
20th. Did you give notice to all parties of charges against
them and give them opportunity to disprove or refute them
aed to cross-examine the witnesses against them ?
A. We did not in all cases, where it was convenient, we
did; we put ourselves to no great trouble about it.
21st. When did you cease to receive applications for regis-
tration ?
A. At our last meeting in September, except those who were
sick or absent and could not attend.
22nd. When did you finally close your books ?
A. I think it was on the first day of November, 1865.
23d. Did you make no entries on them, of persons en-
titled or rejected after that day ?
A. We did not.
