From the Bedford Chronicle
The colored voters Of th.s county have
deliberately thrown down the gauntlet to
their only true friends, and deserve no
countenance from the southern people.

alienation from the whites. and have no

whom they are dependent for everything

like body of disciplined troops obeying
an order from the central league like a
sign from marshals baton, the negroes
have delivered their vote like a concen-
trated broadside. Perhaps it is best to
bring matters to crisis at once. Let 1t
be developed at once what negro suffrage
means. The uthcr the revolution goes,
the more violent will be the recoil. The
north will not believe until they see; and
they will see when the southern elections
are finished.
