only one that snggeets Itself to tbeir
frightened souls Is the disfranchise
ment of the negro. Thus, for Instance,
we find Mr. A. M. Gibson, of the New
York Sun, writing to bis paper from
Washington :
“The South has twenty-r^presonta-
tives based on negro votes. If these
votes are to count for nothing, save to
addTepresentatlon to the South, then
(he North will demand that something
be done. The North pays the greater
proportion of taxes, and It will not
have its money voted away to Its dis
advantages by these twenty addition
al representatives, which In effect give
the South the control of the Govern
ment. |
“ The reply to this by Southern men
U: ' You amended the Constitution,
and imposed negro suffrage upon ue,
and . we have suffered Immeasurable
evils thereby. Now that the advan
tage Is to be reaped by us, you want
tp unt^o wbat you have done. We had
qo choice in the matter, but bad to
take a very large proportion of evil to
get a little good, and we mean to hold
oa to that llatla.* ^ T
“AlLtha indications^ now point to
an agitation, at no late day, for the
dlef ranch lei
and oomaskJHth thexett at 12 o’clock. ■
Now a dashing young cavalier asks
for her hand for the coming waits,
and she accepted. They whirl Away,
andshenaya: “ Do you dMtoe oftenf”
blushing behind her mask at her bold-
nee* “ Very often,” replied the cava
lier and added, “not very often tn
Springfield.” “You do not live here,
then ?” the little domino muetered up

the Republicans will deliberately pro
pose it. A very prominent Republican
said to ms tbs other day: * If we

every time.’ He meant that the addi

Get rid of this increase of the electo

through Its negro vote, and the Re

to win without a very bard fight. The

a step in this direction. It is a politi
cal move in the direction of th* dis
franchisement of the negro.” *_ ‘
This Is a very pretty proposition,
but It Is only wbat we have predicted,
time and again. There Is no sort of
doubt that when tho Republicans per
ceive that the negro vote can bo con
troUed by the Democrats, they will
proceed to rob him of the right of suf
frage, and thus reduce the representa
tion from the South. But the attempt
will fall.. Between the Northern Re
publicans and the rights of the negro
the solid South will stand as a protec
tion, and she will be Invincible. The
vote of the negro to invaliiable to us
as a section, and we propose that he
shall exercise ail the rights guaran
teed him by the constitutional amend
ments. Republicans may kick against
this condition of things If they choose,
but the result is Inevitable. Tbs ne
gro will not only vote the Democratic
ticket, but hfi Will retain bto right of
