Ea.4overnor rullock, of Georgia, Caimly Coneldore the Caie. To the editor of the New York Press: n your able editorial of the 12th, "Re pect for Lawful Methods," reference is cindly made to myself by name, with a luotation from a recent card of mine )ublished here, demanding that the cos roiling elements in our communities xert themselves to prevent mob violgnce. ommenting upon my objection to new ederal election laws for the South, you ay: "le bas so far not even expressed ny willingness to see a simple act for be use of the Australian ballot reform ystei in electing members of the JIuuso f Representatives placed on the atatute ooka." etc. Permit me to say at once hat I now "express a willingness" for ny statute on that line that is to be un rersal in its application. I believe, urther, that it is within the power of ongress to provide the manner in which icm,bers of a State Legislature shall a elected when such members are to he ailed upon to select a United Slates enator. ''he power of federal authority over his subject has never been questioned ly i. I have doubted and still doubt the ulicy of a Republican Congress adopt rig, or even loposing special sectional 4ielation for the purpose of overcoming n, alleged suppression of the colorcd etc. Past experience should satisfy very one that if such an evil exists it annot be overcome in this way. Such gislation solidifies the whites here in iditTcrenes to the civil and political ights of the blacks. If the whites be eve that i b blacks are the epecial m.rds of the nation, they will feel re eved of the duty resting upon them as itizens in their several communities to nforce and maintain the negro's civil nd political rights. Again, previous lectns following efforts by Congress in his direction have shown that the people ( the North did not favor this character f legislation, and the Republican ma )rity in (ongress was lost. Believing, as I do, that the Republican olicy on all economic issues is best for he prosperity and upbuilding of this ection of our country, my purpow is to lo whatever is in my power to retaia hat party in national control. One efort n that direction is to advise against neasures that will accomplish no bena icial result. here, and are not approved )y the business sentiment of the North. can say without egotism that my ex ,erieuce on these issues has been Icon uderable. More than twenty years ago, luring my executive term, the Legisla :ure of this State decided that the negro 1 no right to hold office, and expelled ai\ its colored members, over thirty ;in number. Againt this I protested to the Legislature at the time and subsequently carried the caw before Congress by memorial. The result was the adoption of the fifteenth amendment and the re storation of the colored men to their seats. We have also had here the ox pc-xenc of u.Qlimited federal authority mnut federal force. at .eotfn.. In the light of this experience, sup )lementcd by observation during the 'ears which have intervened, I most olemnly assure you that the only hope or a complete, perfect and willing ac puiescence in and support of the black nan's rights as a citizen is to be found >y putting the responsibility upon and caving the duty entirely to the organized :omnmunitics in which he finds his home .nd1 earns his living. The statutes already macted, both State and federal, are unple. The danger to republican insti utions hero, as with you, is from open ng tile ballot box to ignorance. 'rho 'bleml)t:1" is how to get clear results rem mulddy sources. Lea'ders of all parties have approve:d he Australian ballot refeom system, and hchre tried in thie country thu experi nent has been successful. There can be io good reason urged why Congress bouldi not p)rovlIde an election law to be ised in all national elections, uniform in di tile States. But do not attemp)t OneS ystem for Georgia and another for lassachlusettu. I would go further in olving the "problem," viz: that Con ~ress piroporse an amendment to the con titution, that from and after January 1, P00, no0 person shall vote in any terri ory of tile Unoited States, or in any Stale, vhlo cannot read the constitution of the Unitedl States in the Baglish language, mint has not paid all taxes legally re iuiredI. Commenting upon the cowardly out age of whlicn colored mer have recently yen sub)jectedl in this Stae-ind in South airoilia, you say: "T1he Press WOU'' be nore hope)ful for thu South if all the in elligence and reapectab)ility of it agreed with ex-(m ornor Bullock. But such is not the case. Private advices from Barn well, S. C., representing the highest pos abille so)uices of Southern culture and in formation, shlow a tone of justification of tile lynching andl shlooting. * * * 'Tie Press will let ex-Governor Bullock, a Southerner and an opponent of federal inlterferenee, answer thlat plea." Thanks. I do nlot feel called uipon to answer tihat pllen. There is no justification for unlaw ful methods. But I am confident you aire mistaken when you assume that the '"intelligence andl resplectability," of the South do not agree with me in favoring tho supremacy of tile law as against mob violesce. 1 confideontly assert that thlere la not ai malfn of thlat clas:: in Georgia wijo will publicly announce that he approves or coin nnds mob law. If any fauult lies at our door it is that tihe "iitelligence and respect ability"in the',various comn murnities rio inot take conceerted action to mailntain tile mafjesnty of tile law. 'fie governor ef South Carol i na has offered large re wardis for tIhe arrest of tile inhluman despleradoes whlo defied tile law. 'The governlor of tiis State hlas been equally diligent, and both standl ready to sup port thle couIrts and tile oflicers of the law with the mliitia when necessary.
