If a man were to introduce a bill n the South Carolina Legislature to >rohibit negroes from voting, ha vould be either' a fool or a demagogue. He would either be ignorant >f the fact that the right of the negro o vote is guaranteed by the constltuion of the United States, or elBe he vould count on the people being ignorant of that fact, and aim to play on heir ignorance anl prejudice to get rotes for himself. Intelligent people know that any aw which conflicts with the constl.ution of the State or the United states is null and void, and it is worse han folly to pass it. The constitution of South Carolina, vhich was framed by the negroes and arpetbaggers in 1868, prevented the legroes from being "subjected in law o any other rentraints or dlsqualiIcations in regard to any personal 1ghts than such as are laid upon ithers under like circumstances." When a proposition was made in 892 to make negrties ride in sepirate coaches, Judge Jones says he aaew it was unconstitutional ana rould not have stood the test five ninutes. To have passed it would lave been to bring on law suits in k'hich the negroes would have won. udge Jones was too good a lawyer o think the law was constitutional, nd too good a man to vote for it, nowing it to be unconstitutional, for he purpose of making votes for himelf among those who did not know ,ny better. Judge Jones went about the matter o the right way. Hie helped call a lew constitutional convention for the urpose of limiting negro suffrage and lacing other "restraints and disqualications" upon him. By common consent, the people all ver the State picked their best men o make the new constitution. Edgeeld sent such men as B. R. Tillman, >eo. D. Tillman, John C. Sheppard and V. J. Talbert. Newberry sent her disInguished citizens and lawyers, Jos. i. Keitt, Geo. S. Mower and Geo. Johntone. Lancaster sent at the head of er delegation, Ira B. Jones, and he Was lected vice-president of the convenion. ^H^elp^jnake ution w iich rendered constitutional he separate coach law which was assed after the new constitution was atified, and after Jones was on the ench. And on account of his course in this latter, Judge Jones is charged with eing in favor of "social equality," rhich means white people eating, leeping, living and intermarrying rith negroes. After he had explained his vote at )arlington, and when the slander was epeated at Bennettsville, that Judge ones was in favor of social equality nd wanted the white women of South Carolina to associate on term of equalty with "stinking buck negroes," it 3 no wonder that Jones' Scotch blood oiled and that he declared in impaBioned language that the man who nade such a charge told a malicious alsehood and was unworthy to be ;overnor and unworthy th? name of nan. We believe in fair play, even in tolitics, and like to defend the man yho is unjustly treated, be he of high r low degree A fearless press is the^ 'greatest tumbling block in the way of the dem.gogue and the criminal and they are he greatest enemies of the newspa ers. It has always been so, and always will be. The Advocate is one paper which vill not hesitate to expose their chemes when the interests of the petode require it, although we may be uisunderstood and may stand alone in iur fight for truth and right. There are many people who cantot conceive of a man doing anything ixcept for selfish motives. They udge all others by their own chancers. Such people cannot understand vhy Robert G. Hayne resigned from be United States senate to become governor of South Carolina in the Nullification" period of 1832; or why fohn C. Calhoun resigned as vice>resident of the United States to repesent this State in the senate during hat crisis. Unworthy Men of Wealth.
