ing oath: I do swear that I will permit all persons to vote
who shall offer to poll at the ejection now to be held, who
in my judgment shall, according to the directions contained
in the Constitution and laws, be entitled to poll at same elec-
tion, and that I will not permit any person to poll at the same
election who is not in my judgment qualified to vote as afore-
said, and will in all things execute the office of Judge of
Election according to the best of my knowledge, without
favor or partiality, so help me God. Also, section 21 of same
Article. These laws having never been repealed are the
laws that govern the Judges of Election. That being the
fact, where, we ask, is there any law to justify the counting
of votes rerased by Judges of Election, they being by law
made sole judges of qualification of the voter, although he
may have been registered.—[See the opinion of the Attorney
General.]

In conclusion we object to counting any votes that were
rejected by the Judges of said election, and recommend the
following resolution:

Resolved, That the memorial of Wm. Devecmon and oth-
ers, contesting the right of Wm. R. McCulley and others to
seats as representatives in this Body, be and is hereby dis-
missed.
