legitimacy.

4 We have spoken in previous papers of the.
necessity and Justice of a clause in our new con-
stitution making legitimate all the children
born In the State. Our position has been made
light ofin manner which shows that depravity
instead Of virtue rules the day. TtlFJt $
Illegitimacy was the universal rule of slavery;
and the liberal mixture of blood shows that it
was the crowning sin of that horrid institution.
The colored people up to the time of their free
dom had no choice in this matter and there are
thou sands of children who are to-day the legal
heirs of men who enforced concubinage as their
right as masters, and who should be compelled
by law to acknowledge their progeny ~ t"'9
A section has been reported in the Convention
making legitimate children born of colored pa
rents This win no doubt be adopted but care
,will be taken to exclude the white population
from the, same rule '. u" ga - .,'..
\ We believe in putting the strong hand of the
law upon oil manner of wrongs, and we believe
this custom of excluding children born, without
their fault, out of wedlock, from the right of
support from, their parents, and the right to in
herit property, is one of the Oldest and worst
wrongs of society. .>n.r g. H.. ! .H
Laws are intended to prevent crime by hold
ing out punishment as thesure reward. + .a
Laws are made for the protection of society,
and the only reward they hold out for good be-
havior is the peace and security of society.
The fact that the great wrong of illegitimaey
exists, demands that the law should be made to
reach it. And no better way, suggests itself to
| us but to make the law conform to natural JUS
- - - -.1TI .- -4GgItG8 q a& ~t.* 60

Make every child IN the State equal in the eye
of the law; it will then be left to the care OF
men to see that they do not increase their own
responsibilities. r. ft..-.. g..
| We sincerely believe clause in our new con-
stitution making legitimate all the children OF
| the State would be the menas of putting an end
tosillegitimacy and we hope it may yet be adop-
| ted by the Convention.

The Convention.

The Convention has been at WorR
during the past week upon the Executive
article of the Constitution.
The qualifications required Of ''lf
executive officers, from Governor aoW'
that is three years residence ana 'hl''
years of age, met determined oppos'''O'
from majority of the Republicans ON
they were beaten by The more moa''a ~ :

Conservative delegates,
The section giving the Governor y.
power to remove all theexecntIVe oul''''
under him, was also fought agalns' :! !,

Young Men Snubbed.

The Convention has completely slubbed
Young men wherever the chance has occurred,
clause has been passed requiring that all the
Executive officers of the State shall be at least
thirty years old. The people are protected
against young men, but nothing is done to save
them from old men. We think if the people are
to be trusted at all they should be the sole Judge
of the qualifications aud fitness of the men, they
elect. The only restriction that should be inn
posed is that all persons holding office in the
State should be qualified voters. The. Conyen-
tion should not assume to legislate in the matter
of ofice-holding for the special benefit OF any
particular class of men, 'f
No State in the Union, not even the
United States government has gone to the
length our Convention has in prescribing
young men, In a political point of view party
which undertakes to get along without the aid
of young men, will soon find itself hobbling on
old mems crutehes, beaten in every race it enters.
We sincerely hope the Convention will reverse
its action i'm this particular before it puts forth
its Constitution. We do not want Texas to take
q single backward step. Remember that a ma
iority of the men who are to ratify the constitu-
ton are under thirty years Of age, and this age
qualification is direct insult to their lntegrl-
ty and intelligence. A man who is old enough
to make Governor is old enough to be Cover
nor ;f the people elect him. 1t is not within
reason that young and incapaple men, or men
TOO old win be selected by tho people to fill the
chief offices of the State, then why the necessi.
ty Of levelling direct prescription at young
MEN under thirty. We say leave the door open
to all and lot the people judge.

A Little Late.

Our paper is little late to-day because we
have employed three colered boys to learn the
trade. We had printer who said ne could not
work in the office with colored boy; we PAID
him off and let him go, and are now depending
almost entirely on colored hands to set upfetif
paper We are proud to say the boys. learn fas1
and are ambitious to excel. We think it highly
appropriate that paper which is intended as
the special friend of the celored people, ought to
be SO in every particlar. .ts4r.tl -t~ II

A Good Suggestion.

We take the following from the proceedings pf
the Conventions:
.'Mr. Bryant, of Harris, offered the following
resolution, and asked it's reference to the con-
mittee on general provisions: r
"Rssol,ed That the following shall form part
of the Constitution.
"SEc. /. No person who shall ever have ieen
SO unfortunate as to have taken d human hf ex-
cept in aid or executions ofcthe law, shall ever
hold civil office in this State, until he shali
have been relieved by two-third vote q the
Legislature"

Our Candidate,

Who will be our candidate fo, r
nor? Ought to be question Of H.. "
TO every Republican if The twplGh 'SS'
August Convention is to come off " y
The Governor is the principal os
the State, and the peace and safs,r w. - 0'
people depends much upon the k;na y 4'e
man we have at the head of affairs : .
The Governor is Commander r..
of the militia. A militia will be ons '"s' 81
our necessities when the regular a,mr !,
removed. .
As commander of The militia i ! !.
necessary that the Governor be mjIj,,,s -,
man, but every one can see that, ~
who is military man and who unas,
stands military matters, who knows hoa
to organize a military force, who has IA
men in battle, and who would be pood
judge of men who are to serve under him
"a man who would know just what \
do in case of trouble, and who had ha
pluck to do if, would make the best con
mander-in chief of the militia.
The Governor is required to see tb,,
the laws are faithfully executed; he isb.
! Sheriff of the State. 1t is not necessa,v
that a Governor should be LAWYER bu
it is necessary he should be firm trua
man,-a man of good sense, and man
who knowing his duty will do it without
fear or favor.
To execute the law means to put down
all law breakers, 10 do this the Governor
will be compelled to see that those under
him do their duty, and if it is necessary,
he will call out the militia 10 help exc
cute the law.
| What kind of Governor does Texas
want?
In our opinion we want man as near
like parson Brownlow OF Tennessee, as
possible; a man not afraid Of responsl
billty.
A man who will come something near
the requirements above stated, will b.
our candidate.
| There is plenty vf Governor material
in the Republican party. We hope the
best will be selected.

Learn a Trade.

\ IT has been too common for the cOlored men,
who seek to live in the towns and cities, to SIM
ply BECOME BARRIERS, boot blacks, walters about
hotels and restaurants, and house servants we
make no opposition to these employments. Ev-
erv honest kind of work should not be despised,
and we believe that there is no employment in
free. republican country that is not equally res
pectable Abraham Lincoln split rails, and Cen
eral Grant. who is to- be our next good President,
once made an honest living byselling wood and
tanning leather. The employnents we have
mentioned above are always open to colored
people, particularly in the South, because they
are not considered gentlemanly. iei j'T :
We believe any honest employment good, and
we believe that a man who blacks boots for a
living, if he is an honest, good man, has as much
right to respect as the man who makes boots Tor
q living. The greatest men in the world have
at some time in life, followed humble employ
ments. In this country the President is no more
of king than the humblest chimney-sweep,
the only distinction is the honor a man gets by
working his brains 20 advantage and qa using his
pluck to overcome the difficulties M that lay in the
way to knowledge, wealth, or fame. -,,. -.r-
]. But these employments require. very little skill
| and are sought because they are easy. There is
a tendency to flock to them and leave the trades
to 90 begging; this is what we propose to COM
plain Of
The trades, such as shoemaking, carpentering
blacksmithing building, painting, plastering
.wagon-making, tailoring, cabinet-making prin-
ting. and the hundreds of trades and employ
ments which are necessary to supply the wants
of man, are now open for every one.
Good workmen, good tradesmen are wanted ev
erwin ere the world over. f. ''+ re
! We are aware that slavery has left its horrit
mark Of prejudice behind and that 1t is not easy
for eolored men to get chance to learn trades.
But in the South all the trades areopen and nov
Is the golden moment for the yong men, tn
boys growing up, to seek the workshops; ee and
they will be contented with low wages there vii
be no difficulty in finding something to dos
