clause appropriately inserted in one of the cod
bills of the State Of Mississippi prohibiting negroes
from preaching, has passed the Legislature Of thut
State by an almost unanimous vote. The practice
of negro preaching is not justified by any good re-

by considerations of wise public policy.
Negroes who are permitted to assume the holy
