labor is more esteemed and better rewarded.
In truth, however, each State, induced by
its own wants end interests, will do what Is
necessary apd proper TO retain within its
borders all the labor that is needed for the
development Off resources.
rke laws that regulate supply and demand
will maintain .tIieir fcrcc,R and the wages Of
the laborer viii Be regulated thereby. There
is 40 danger tisat the great, demand for labor
will not operatein favot'ofthe laborer, neither
is sufficient consideration given 10 the ability
of the freedmcn to protect and take care of
themselves. 'S -
1t is no more than Justice to them to be-
lieve that as they have received their freedom
with inodesty end forbearance, they will dis
tiuguish themselves by their industry, and
they feel and will soon show the world that
in the condition of freedom they arc self
sustaining and capable Of Eelecting their
own employme1t and their own places #
abode, of insisting on for themselves n pro-
per remuneratioD,s and of establishing and
maintaining theif own asylumns and schools.
1t is earnestly hoped that, instead Of vast.
ing away they will, BY their own efforts, es
tabiisn or themselves condition of reSpec.
liability and prosperity. 1t is certain that
they can attain to that condition only through
their own merits and exertisns.
In this connection the query presents itself
whether the system proposed by the bill will
not, when put into complete operation, prac.
tically transfer the entire care, support and

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION
JUDGE THOMAS w. HARRISON AND THE
REGISTRATION LAW.
Editors Intcitigenccr:
l have read the decision of Judge
Thomas w. Harrison, in the Arm
strong CnsP, with Armstrong's and vour
remarks thereon. The decision is most
extraordinary and justly alarming. 1t
was apparent last fall and winter Tint
our opponents would attempt TO brpnk
down tho test oath and others of its
KIND, by influencing the courts, if pos
ana void. Hence the extraordinary de-
cisinn of Judge LoOmis ut the Roane
court last fall, and hence, doubtless, the
decision of Judge Harrison in the Cuse
above stated.
Let us examine for moment the law
and facts of this case. Armstrong hnv-
ing been II soldier i'll the Confederate
nrmy, applied, pending the first regis
trOtiOn of voters lustspring in tho conn-
ty of hampshire, to have his name reg
iStered ns n voter. The Registrar re-
fused unless he would first take the test
oath passed the 25th day of Februnry,
1865, then IN force, and which had been
copied into the registration law. Arm
strong refused to take tho O0th, stating
that he "cOMLd not and IUOMLd 3LOL take
that OATH" Hc then applied to the
Board of Registrars for said county,
which also refused to register for the
to the Circuit Court of Hampshire coun
