No property qualification is required for
Jurors in any case, thereby permitting land
the injury of the landowners.
NO EDUCAT ONAL QUALIFICATION
FOR NEGROES Fox u YEARS.
Although an enormous fund is to be raised
ont of the property of the white race to
force the education of the negroes in the
same schools with the whites, no education
al qualification is required for rOteTs or Jurors
and by the wholesale disfranchisenlent OF
the whites, the liberties of the people will
be in the hands of the ignorant negroes who
are sworn in the Loyal Leagues to be the
political slaves of their Radical masters.
By the terms of this Constitution. no
amendment of the same can be made re-
curing an educational quail ication, or even
an intelligent understanding for voters, I'M
til the year eighteen bundled and eighty
five. The barbarous motive here displayed
is palpable. The registerednegro vote is in
the majority. They are Ignorant, and likely
to remain so in despite of ths unsought hon
ors and emoluments thrust upon them
They have no capacity whatever for govern
ment, and these Loyal League manipulators
and kidnappers will necessarily be the chief
recipients of the hOnors and tmoluments of
the State for period of twenly-seven years

period we shall have the unbr.dled reign of

Butler & Co., entrusted for execution to the
''drop-shot-gang" of rhe late federal army,
whose special duty ii was to despoil the
Southern States to the last point of human
endurance, crops out ia bold relief from all
parts of this, the most ingenious, audacious
and barbarous contrivance ever devised as a
form of government for civilized people.
1t is falsely and fraudulently denominated
"a form of civil government" 1t is simply
barbarous penal code for the punishment
of the white race of Mississippi, because
they had the manly courage to assert their
constitutional rights against the corrupt
usurpations of the Radical party in Con
gress, and when driven to the wall, to main
tain the principles of TIE Constitution Of
United States by force of arms. 1t is Grim
inal legislation after the fact creating pc
litical offences, and providing punishment
therefor never before known, and is in di
rect violation of that clause of the Constitu
