enemys and By no means weak one
There was barely time to receive votes,
as az the preceding election, by simply
verifying the list 70 see IL the name Of
the voter was duly registered. A vote
minute would hardly poll the vote of

ing process, two thousand voters ia
many localities were left standing two
DAYS in naud, and unaeE q cold rain,

The voter is SWORN Then follows

so on through badgering and Insult

There were but few polls in the State

Perhaps that you doubt that freed
| men were discharged for voting, Read
what follows frOmi the Montgomery
/ Advertiser
/ s'DIsoHAReED.-Wi the past few
/ DAYS large number Of negro employees
have been discharged in this city, who,
/ by voting for the negro constitution di-
/ rectly arTayed themselves against the
/ whites and their business interests
Served them right. The negroes were
/ warned of this in time but many of
them preferred to go with the scalawags
and rpet-Daggers and against their
them are out out Of employ
ment. We are glad TO see that this plan
has been generally adopted in nearly
all parts Of the State"
/ And now, in view of the well-known
fact that labor is redundant in the South
that the best plantation hands can be
had here from for four to eight dollars
per month, read the following, also
from Montgomery paper:
IMPORTANT 10 PLANTERs.-One Ofthe
firm of Newman q Hughes proposes to
go to New York within the next
thirty days TO procure laborers or what
eyer help may be needed by the plant
ers. This is an importanb matter and
/ the right way TO go at getting a tide
of aroirr-affr,l7 tn sat in this way NTassra
Newman d Hughes are perfectly Telia-
| ble gentlemen, and any orders or com
missions from any part Of the State sem
to them viii oe promptly complied with
Where the old slavery question and
its consequences are concerned, these
people can be made TO believe anything
Procure labOrers from the North to come
60 this country and BdaCOmpst8 with na.
/ tive negro labor The force Of folly
| can no further CO.
J. w. M. admits that f'the moral in
timidatiOn has been active and bitter
meo who have voted. Such men VII
/ hencef0rth be looked upon as social out
laws. Their names have been published
as black list, and Whenever they g
sneers and aggressive disdaiu."
AhI If J. W. NJ knew but half tho
truth The publication in rebel news
papers ofthe names of all who voted an
der the heading Of f'BlRck List is the
, very smallest part Of what these meI
have to endure.
, Says John ForsYth's paper (AEobiI,
Daily Register):

And so I might 60 through the entire
Conservative press Of Alabama. And
the men so denounced must not be rec.
ognizeds must not be spoken to, neither
/ they nor their wives nor their children
If In business they must not be dealt

is interdicted, IF they go into Church
: let no man dare offer them seat. If q
loyal voter owns a pew in one, the con-
| tiguous peWs are instantly vacated. II
he goes to the communion table, all
others Immediately retire, and when
ne is gone from it,, reappear clad in
/ se1f-ughteousnes as with a garment
/ Does he send his children to Sabbath
school, the poor innocents are forced
to retire under aggressive insult, and
on week days cannot play with other
children, who are ordered to avoid
them. If sickness or even death comes
to a loyal household, sickness and death
may do their work undisturbed by one
word Of neighborly kindness or sympa-
thy, or single friendly football on the
deserted threshold.
Union men-native Alabamians-de-
scribe the bitterness Of hostility on the
part of rebels as exceeding their mani
festatiOns Of1661, and to the extent of
nay own observation it is so great as to
exceed any belief short of actual ex-
perience.
Aud this system of prescription is so
thoroughly organized as to have its
code of penalties Tor those who dare de-
part from the standard Of tyranny by
/ word or deed of even common eivilitY.
/ FOrty-two whites voted the other day
/ in Montgomery out of more than three
hundred perfectly well known to be in
favor of the ratification. In Mobile the
/ proportion is even larger, and in all
other large towns the same state of
/ things prevails, s
The pardon list sent to the House a
short time ago has just been printed.
It shows that during the period from
