The eight section of the seventh chapter of the Code, edition 1860, provides that, ‘"The Commissioners appointed by the Governor in each county or corporation, shall appoint three Commissioners for each place therein at which a separate poll is to be taken, (any two or more of whom may act,) to superintend the election at such places, and one officer to conduct such electioning each place for holding the same."’

The ordinance for the State Convention passed July 1, 1861, provides, ‘"That the qualified valors of the Commonwealth who may be absent from the counties or corporations of their residence in the military service of the State, on the day of election for Electors of President and Vice President of the Confederate States, may vote in the said elections, at such place or places within their encampment as the commands at such encampment shall designate, whether the said encampment shall be within the limits of the State or not. For each place of voting the commander of the encampment shall appoint a Superintendent three Commissioners, as many Clerks as shall be necessary, who, after having been first duly sworn in by him, shall perform the duties required of, and be liable to the penalties imposed upon, such officers, under the election laws of the State. The said Commissioners shall cause polls to be opened for the Electors of President and Vice President of the Confederate States."’

One Elector for each Congressional District established by the Convention and two for the at large are to be elected and the electionist be by general ticket, and to take place on the Wednesday in November next.

George W. Munford.
