The following, which we take from
the ST. Loais Bemocrat, is to good to
he lost:
A well-knovn gentleman III this city
was couTersing with Gen. 7. I. Blalr,
''r,, not icng since, upon the power OF
Congress to reconstruct the south
General BLAIR warmly maintained That
the reconstruction laws were uneon-
stitutional, and that there was no a =
thority in the National Government
t. cndow negroes with the o'oc i've
franchise in the conquered States.--
You are mistaken" said his friend :;
The s;upreale Court has fully decid-
ed the question in favor OF Che power
exercised by Congress" How so ?"
asked the General. Il never heard Of
any such decision
Il will give You the points, was the
answer.
II, The Supreme C1urt has decid
ell that the National Government has
the same rights and powers as regards
the States lately in rebellion, as it
would have toward States or Terri
tories conquered in war with foreign
power.
IL, The Supreme Court decided
years ago that III New Mexico, which
we had just then conquered in the war
with Mexico, the orders of General
Kearney, t'o Military Governor
OF that Territory, had all the force
OF law and must be obeyea Is such.
iii. Among other orders of Gen
eral kearnoy, in New Mexico, was a
code OF laws which he promulgated
some time aboat 1871, by which the
right of suffrage was conferred up
on al males Of lawful a..e, with
out distinction 81 coier, negroes IN
GUIDED,
Nv. THIS code, which was thus
imposed o. New Mexico by the mill
tary power, ,..e Supreme Cour, deeid-
ol to be the rightttil law OF the Terri
tory, until it should be set aside by
express act Of Congress.
~. The apparent author of this
negro suffrage code was Francis z
Blair, Jr., whose name was attached
to it as Attorney General OF the Ter
ritory."
That's true" responded. Gen. Blair
''hut ] didn't suppose any ID biacl
Republican knew it.

And then again read the following
pearl OF Democracy from the Enhlnx
and peanut organ Of this city. The
cause of its fit was the SIGHT 0 COM
pany OF Colored Tanners i'll a Re
publican parade passing through the
streets:

ment. Do come ont again, you look
SO much alike that one is led to

That's plain in meaning if not ele-
giant. From that Seymour and Blair
opinion turn and squint at this Sey-
mour and Blair opinion, which we
take from the Memphis 1Arelaaehe of
the 18th:
THE work goes bravely on. Oar
co'orea speahers are doing great good
Twelve months ago there was not a
single oolorel Democratic club in
Tennessee. There is nor one IN ecery

IT, Lawrence Jones, co7oa.ed speaker,

speaking, a basket dinner, and the fo,ma-

Colonel @. Yagce and Colonel Doug

speakers also addressed the assem-

Il. M. Turner. The Democracy is IN
favor Of negroes r,yhts.n
The birds Of a feather mentioned
by the Des Moines Seymour paper,
and those presented by the Memphis
paper Of the same ilk, are surely livery
much not alike" ssaa
BY comparing the four pictures, do
you conclude that Democracy is in ia
