ALEXANDRIA. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 27. The announcement by the Radical Congres sional Committee, that more will be ot the Southern States, than the adoption the Reconstruction acts, before those State will be "reconstructed" by Congress, and tha "reliable majorities" are to te a4Cconditioi precedent," is not contradicted, dissented from or objected to, as far as we have seen, by an; of the Radical organs. The "ieliable" major ities, probably, are the "one thing needful." At all, or nearly all, of the councils, couven tions, associations, convocations and meeting of the organized religious societies, of the dill ereot denominations of christians, in tin Southern States, resolutions in fayor of aiding in the intellectual, moral, and christian educa tion of the colored people, have been adoptei with great unanimity. Every where a spirit muciuess towards the colored race has been ex hibited in every possible way.

Elbridge Gerry, eldest son of the late Klbridgt signer of the Declaration ot ladepen dence, died in, New York last week, in the 74tl year of his age. It was from bim lliat. tin political term ''Gerrymandering" took iti name, from a movement he made in tin Massachusetts Legislature, to divide the into election districts for party purposes. It was expecled that the trial of Surral would commence in Washington to-day. Th prosecution will be conducted by Mr.

Various surmises are made as to purpose of calling Gen. Thomas to Washington On Friday evening last the Rev. Uenr Ward Beecher delivered a discourse in hi church in Brooklyn, N. which he strong ly defeuded the release of Jefferson Davis. His remarks created considerable sensation especially among his radical friends.

''Tournaments" have recommenced in different sections of the State. Diocese of North recent meeting of the convention of the Pro testant Episcopal Church ol the Diocese North Carolina, the following resolutions wt-ri adopted "That it is the sense of the Convention thai the intellectual as well as the moral instruction ot the colored people be attended in every parish by establishment ot regular schools as well as Sunday schools, in which the principles of the Church shall be taught, or, where the former cannot be effected, by the establishment of Sunday schools, and that it be recommended to the members of the Church, who are. suitable for cafechists and teachers, the Christian duty of engaging in this work without delaj'. That whenever the Constitution and canons of this Church are complied with, colored men should be received into its ministry as spiritual preachers and pastors of their race. That tor the purpose ol erecting churches and school houses for colored people, this Church is willing to receive aid Irom all sources" Old School Presbyterian In the Old School Presbyterian Assembly, in session at Cincinnati, on Saturday, the conifn wlimn had been rnnnrtu unwvv viv.

i of the joint committee of the two schools on reunion, made majority and minority report. The first recommends the adoption of the basis of union embodied in the report under consideration. The minority report favors the appointment of a joint committee to endeavor to secure a definite statement of doctrinal basis. It. also contains a provision allowing none but ordained ministers or elders to seats in any church court, and a distinct recognition of the obligations of every Presbytery to be satisfied as to the soundness of every minister it receives.

The reports were filed for further consideration. Foreign more of the Fenian prisoners on trial at Dublin have been convicted and sentenced to be hung. Francs complains against Prussia that she still continues strengthening the fortifications of Rosuldt, and from Denmark complain.1 come that the treaty of 1SC5, in relation to Schleswig, is not complied wieh. The sovereigns of Russia, Prussia, Austria and of Turkey are all expected to visit Paris within the next two weeks. A Political radical correspondent speaks of the Freedmen's Bureau as being the great source of organization of the "Republican parly of the South." Of this there is no doubt.

It was instituted in great part for that purpose, though under a philanthropic guise; and in many quarters its agents, under the pretence of enlightening the blacks, are indoctrinating them with Radical The truth is, the institution is anomalous. It proceeds on the assumption that one class of people in the nation need to be taken care of, and that another must be held in check by the national Int. are, it is said, honorable exceptions to the general rule, and some places where the officers and agents of the Bureau, will uot act as mere political Radical agents.

A letter received at Washington from Jack? ii i ni 1 aun, scales tuat Juuge cmarney a State convention under the Reconstruction act, and says "military rule is better than ne: gro rule." He is also disgusted with the readiness with which so many prominent Southern 3 men accept the situation, when, as he asserts, a quick and firm opposition would have pros duced a reaction at the North which would have resulted in the repeal of the law. The Secretary of the Treasury writes a private letter to New York, in which he declares that a special session of Congress in uly would affect injuriously the credit of the government.

8., ha: published his opinion on the clauses of flu Reconstruction acts, respecting the right vote and fo hold office. His to llu powers of' the commanding generals, is tola 1 given hereafter: The acts require twelve months' citizenship, with losiderice, prior to the lime of voting, ai I age of wenty-one years, non-disfranchisement for felony or participation in rebellion, an oatl of obedience to he Constitution and laws, and the averments I hat the affiant has never heei a member of any State Legislature or holdei ol any executive or judicial office in any State, and afterwards engaged in insurrection oi rebellion against the United Stales, or giver: aid or comfort to I he enemies thereof, or thai lie lias never taken an oath as a member ol lilt; nit: i) muiu niaiw, as an officer of the United or us a member oi any Stale Legislature, or as an executive ui judicial officer of any Stale, to support flu 1 Constitution of the United Stales, ami afterI wards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or coin I fort to the enemies thereof. uI. As to citizenship and residence. No perr son is entitled to vote who shall not he resident in the State for one year previous to the day ol election.

It is not necessary that.this previous residence for a year should exist at the time the person applies for registration. A person in all other respects entitled to vote is entitled I to registration, although he has not, at thai. time, been a resident ol the State for a full year; lor we find in the supplemental act that the oath as to residence does not require the i applicant to swear that lie has then been a resident for a year, but only requires him to state the number of months ol his residence, conteuiplating a period les-- than, as well as a full term of twelve months. Therefore, as to such a person, so registered, if it happen at any election subsequently to ha held, that the time ol residence, counting from the day ol election, does not cover an entire year, he cannot vote at such election lor this supplemental act does not, as to residence, change the provisions ol the original act, as it is expressly provided by it, as to registration, that it shall include only those who are qualified to vote by the original act. To carry out the purposes of the law in this respect as to residence, the hoard of registration should note opposite the name of he person whose residence has not, extended to the lull i-xiei lime of his residence.

As to citizenship. The qualification slated in the original act is citizenship of the State hut by the first clause of the first section in the supplemental act, the registration is to he made of the male citizens of the United and as to the oath, the applicant is only required to swear that he is a citizen ol the State. I am of opinion that the phrase citizen of the Sltnfp ns liviArl in the oath, is intended In in elude only such persons us are citizeus of the United States and citizens of the State; and that an alien who has not been made a citizen of (he United States cannot safely take the oath. But, as the board of registration hive only authority to administer the prescribed oath, they cannot, require any further oath or proof as to citizenship, and if an alien, not made a citizen of the United State, takes this oath, he takes it at his peril, and is subject to prosecution for perjury. 2.

As to age. No one is entitled to registration who is not at least twenty one years of r.ge on the day that lie applies for registration. In this respect qualification as to age differs from the qualification as to residence, and the fact that majority must exist at (lie date of registration lias relation to the day of registration, and "not to the day of the subsequent election." One point is still, lefc unsettled-as to who are included in the phrase judicial and executive officers. But this is to be cleared up when the abstracts are prepared lor the several Stales, which will exhibit all these officers and the duties which appertain to them. The following is that part of llie opinion touching "disqualification," on account of having given "aid and comfort:" am of opinion that some direct overt acl, done with the intent to further the rebellion, is necessary to bring the party within the purview and meaning ol this law.

Merely disloyal sentiments or expressions are not sufficient. The person applying for registration is not rei quired to clear himself from the taint of disj loyalty. The meaning of Congress here bei comes yet more evident, when we look at the last clause of the prescribed oath. He is re quirea to swear that lie "will laithiuny support the constitution and obey tlie laws oi the Uniled States to the best of his ability, encouraging others so to do." This part of the oath is uct. exculpatory, but promraissory.

It looks lo the luture, and not to the past, and the purpose is here manifest, lo omit, as to the right to vote, the disqualification arising Irom past disloyalty, put in the test-oath, as disqualification i'rucu the right to exercise oflice. Mere acts oi common humanity and charity cannot be considered as involving the party in participation in the So, too, are forced contributions by the rebel authorities, or the compulsory payment of taxes in aid of the rebel But wherever an act is voluntarily in aid of the rebel cause, it would involve the person, and it must work disqualification under this law. Voluntary contributions in furtherance of the rebellion, or subscriptions to the rebel loans, and even organized contributions of food, clothing or necessary supplies, except of a strictly sanitary character, are to be classed with acts which VIRGINIA Al'VEliTI Mr. Stanberry, after a careful examination ol the acts of Congress, as well as all State laws iT bearing on the questions involved, arrives at the conclusion that there is no authority for any other oath to be taken by uny one, touching the qualifications of the applicant tor registration, than the oath prescribed by the supplementary "act of Congress of March last. If the applicant lakes that, his name must go upon the register, and tlie inquiry whether he has sworn truly or falsely must he reserved for the court which may after wards nave jurisdiction to try an lnuimueni iui in the subsequent elec- tious, (he duty of tbe board is to rteeive the voles of all whose names are upon the ieeislration, and reject all others, not then haviig power to erase or add a single one.
