SHALL NEGROES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE IN
IowA1-The Davenport Gazette calls attention
to the fact that before the Constitution Of this
State can be amended by striking out the word
"white" in the clause limiting the right of suf-
frage, the amendment must be agreed to by the
Legislature and pass to the next session, where
it must be adopted unanimously before it can be
submitted to the people for final adoption. Thus
II will require three years, at least If immediate
steps be taken to bring the measure before the
people. As there are comparatively few colered
people in this State, the question is not of great
practical Importance at present. Still, it Is i'm
portant that Iowa should be right on the record,
and with this view it will be we'll for the ne xt
Legislature to inaugurate the movement and
give the people another opportunity to vote on
the question. The events Of the past four years
have put this question in different light than
that In which it stood when our present Consti-
tuition was adopted in 185S-Muscatnss Journal.
We noticed the above in the Journal, and sup.
posed the word unanimously" which we itali'
CHE, was misprint or mere slip of tho pen,
hut we find the article entire and incorrected in
the Davenport Gazette. When we found that
two leading dailies agreed in saying that the
legislature must "unanimously' approve pro-
posed amendment we began to think that we
did not know anything about our State Consti'
tuition, but We finally concluded to consult that
instrument as printed in the ''Revision Of 1860,
and there we found 1t provided that proposed
amendments must be agreed to by "a majort,
Of all the members elected to each house." fo
two successive legislatures, and be approved b,
