n II EGRo FRANCHISE.

81 One DE those singular events which OCCASION
ally tranapire in The political world and make o
subject for more than passing notice, has lately
II occurred in our own State. It is neither more
II NOR less than the exercise Of the elective fran
4 chise nv negroes By men Of clear and unmis-
/ taxable African descent. We take our infor-
4 nation with regard to the matter from the Red
River (Alexandris1 Republican, Of the cd Of
/ December last, which, in an article entitled
| e The Ten Mile Affair." recites the following
interesting tale:
| Some time previous to 1888 settlement was
made in the vicinity Of what is known as the
| 6 Ten Nile Precinct by number Of persons,
well known ID be tinctured with negro blood.
The majority were 50 marked that there could
be no doubt concerning their lineage They do
not themselves deny it. They we're and are
quiet. orderly and we'll behaved; interfering
with no one and being generally well treated by
the planters about there.
In 1888 three of them, to all appearances
white men, were allowed to vote. This was the
commencement Of the colored franchise. The
years rolled along another election approach
ed parties were equally divided, and it was
doubtful which would succeed.
By 9 system Of management. well known to
political managers, private arrangements were.
made to vote the whole settlement at the late
election BY the Democrats! They were assem-
bled on Sunday, and marched to the yard Of q
well known citizen, where they were penned.
On Monday, with . flag flying, they were
marched up to the polls and made to vote! The
only justification that was given for the act
ives, that the kinky headed, black-skinned
vagabonds, had as good 8 right to vote as their
straight haired and white-skinned relatives.
The Republican says that every man who knows
these men, feels and knows it to be o burning
shame that they should be allowed to vote. We
can very well believe the truth Of the state
ment
By the means and instrume mentality Of those
illegal negro votes, Mr.. Andrews succdeded in
obtaining his election to the State Legislature,
and defeating Mr.. Boyce. The legality Of his
election will, however, be contested; and, with
this state Of facts presented, there can be no
doubt that tho Legislature will declare the lat
ter gentleman elected. Whatever party feeling
may prompt, it can never run 50 high, here, as
to allow gentlemen to demean themselves by
assuming condition Of things which would put
them on an equality with negroes, and render
them the Representatives Of . slave constitu-
tency. Il
In short, the matter presented to US isWilll
the Democratic party of Louisiana, which as
| sumes to itself the special guardianship Of the
rights Of the South, sanction this unprecedented
| and unwarrantablee exercise Of the right Of suf-
frage by free negroes' We think not We
| shall see what we shall see!
