Article in "Register" induces Lincoln, B. S. Edwards, and Logan to 
write and publish opinion on Illinois election laws with respect to 
challenged votes. Their opinion, in which Judge Treat concurs, is 
that "any person taking the oath prescribed in the act of 1849, is 
entitled to vote, unless counter proof be made, satisfying a majority 
of the Judges that such oath is untrue."
