Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of the Clerks of the County Courts to make out an aggregate number of the free white male inhabitants thus returned, to enter the same on the minutes of the County Court, to make out two accurate copies thereof, one to be filed in their respective offices, and the other to be transmitted to the Secretary of State, on or before the first day of October, 1861 which copies shall be certified under the hands and seals of office, and they shall also furnish the senators and representatives from their respective counties with a duplicate thereof.

Sec. 3. It shall be the duty of the Secretary to embody the enumerations thus returned from the respective counties, and present the same to the General Assembly, due the first week of the session of 1861.

Sec. 4. If the County Courts fail to appoint Commissioners as provided in the first section of this act, or shall the Commissioner appointed die, or remove out of the county before taking and returning the list as required, then the County Court at the next term thereafter, may elect one in his place.

Sec. 5. The Commissioner shall be allowed the sum of five dollars for each hundred inhabitants by him enumerated and returned, which shall be paid by the Treasurer of the State upon a warrant from
