Negro Suffrage In the Southern States

Negro Suffrage In the Southern States
To tho objection that negro suffrage i'm
plies negro social equality, the Frankfort
(KyD Commonwealth promptly resp ponds:
Negnoes have voted in tho South, and yot
wJre in no sense advanced to an eouality
with the whites. In evry Southern State
except South Carolina, the right of suffrage
was originally exercised by all "froemen.
Tho original constitutions of Delaware
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia, make no mention of color, or ,ljs
tinctlon between white aud black, in their
provisions as to who may vote. Till within
comparatively few years, negroes voted in
Tennessee. ln Maryland they voted until
1893, aud in North Carolina as late as
1885. Now, did this advance them at all in
the scale of equality? Woro the schools in
those States thrown open to them? Did
they visit in gentlcmens parlors? Was
nmalgamation any more common in thoee
days than it is now? We hope not Was

The Fourth

The most memorable Fourth Of July IN
the history Of our country has just come
and gone, and we are glad to say was
very generally and appropriately cele.
brsed. At the hour Of going to press,
We have seen no account Of any OF the
numerous celebrations in this section ol
the State, but have reason to believe that,
in every instance. they were.all that could
be anticipated or desired We know OF
no better way in which to honor the
Fourth, now that it is passed, than by re
avowing the principles. even ye: too often
forgotten OF disregarded by both rulers
and people, to which alone all its glory is
due and We. therefore, commend TO the
thoughtful consideration OF every reader
the preamble of our immortal Declara-
tlon of Independence
"Wo hold .hose truths to be self evident
that all mon nro created equal; that they
aro endowed by their Creator with certain
unalenablo rights; that among these arc
Die. liberty, md tho pursuit Of happiness.
That to secure those rights governments
arc instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of tho gov.
ernod; that, whenever any form of eovorn
ment becomes destructive of these ends, it
's the right of tho people to utter or to
abolish it, and to institute n new govorn
mont, laying its foundations on such prin-
cIpIos, and organizing its powers in such
form, as to thom shall soem most likely to
ettect their safety ana happiness

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should have
their efficacy established BY well tested experience in
the hands OF regularly educated physician, whose
ull; yet the country is flooded with poor nostrums
and cure-als purportng to be the best In the world
not only useless, but always injurious. The UNI
fortunate should be PARTICULAR in selecting his
physician, as it is lamentablc yet ineontrovert-
able fact, that many syphilitc patients are made
miserable with ruined constitutions by maltreatment
from inexperienced physicians in general practice :
for it is point generally conceded by the hest syphil
ographers, that the study and management Of these
complaints should eDgross the whole time OF those
who would be competent and successful in their treat
