DREAMING HOMES FOR NEGROES The
Louisiana Convention has adopted, at the
instance of a negro delegate, resolution
providing that
"All registered voters DESTROYS Of re-
naming on the plantation in the precinct
where they may be, may do so, aud shall
not be elected from the place, plantation
or house in which they lived at the time Of
registration, until after the vote on the
constitution, and il any person or plan
ter shall eject any such person he shall be
held liable 10 a misdemeanor, and shall be
punished by fue Of not more than five
hundred dollars, nor less than six months
Imprisonment at hard labor, or both"
The only loyal point in this resolve,
is that it does not require the "person or
planter on whom these African sover-
eigns are CHARTERED to feed and clothe, as
we'll as furnish them houses until after
the vote on the constitution. They will,
Of course, steal their subsistence, but it
would have been just as well to ordain
victuals and clothes, or legaIize theft, as
to ordain them houses.

THE protracted strike of the Western
members of the Pennsylvania Legislature
on the subject of the Speakership and its
bearing upon railroad interests, had led TO
some bitterness of feeling between the eastp
ern. and western portions of the State. We
shall, perhaps, have State Of "West Penn
sylvania," one of these days.

II is significant fact that the capt.
talists of the North have no confidence
in the so>called reconstruction policy of
the Radicals. The Montgomery Gala. }
Mail states that Col Charles r. Pollard
has returned from the North, and that he
was not able to negotiate any means to
assist in carrying on the railroad enter
prises in his hands The capitalists of the
North, he reports, express themselves as
unwilling to risk money at the South in
such state of anarchy as now exists in
this section The people of the South are
greatly crippled for the want of means
to carry on their works of Improvement
and Northern capitalists would furnish
this money if they had confidence that
the South would not be utterly ruined by
the Radicals.

There are no social occasions more pleasant

there the men who had sagacity to see the
prosperous future. and nerve and courage to
make that future prosperous. And the menu

to sp,ak only good of the dead. leads US to
