from the first, then the only means left
TO guard the ballot-box would be to i'm
nose tax of five or ten dollars upon
every voter, and in that way the great
mass Of negroes would be kept from the
polls. The objection to the poll tax re-
striction is that II bears equally as hard
upon the white man, who should be al
lowed to vote without regard to quali6ca-
ton he being twenty.one years of age
and Of sane mind. But if the ef
feots of the Congressional amendment
csut be avoided in any other way, why
let us have the property qualification or
poll tax ratification, which is the same ai-
ter all. We obi ect to the universal suffrage
party attempting to steal our thunder,
as it was the intention Of the anti suf-
frege party to advocate the very same
thing as is set forth in Mr.. Bakers reso-
linton, il it should turn out the negro,
as class, could not be excluded from
the ballot-box. We think it very proper
that the Legislature should not be in
vested with the privilege of making laws
acquiring rights in man. Such thing
is eminently proper since Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation. 1t is
hardly presumeable that man could ac-
quire rights in his fellow man since a
million OF men have been made TO die 10
this country in contention over that very
principle.
The resolution as introduced by Mr..
Baxter was referred to committee, and
perhaps the first part of it will con-
stitute the basis of new provision to
the Constitution Of our State.

RESTRICTION OF SUFFRAGE BY
THE CONVENTION.

Mr.. Baxier-Resoiutio allowing all 10
vote by paying poll tax, except convicts.
Legislature TO make no laws acquiring
rights in man. Referred.
IL is known of Mr.. Baxter, who intro
dueed the above resolution, that be was
elected 10 the Convention as q universal
suffrage delegate, and how he could lend
himself and parry 10 an effort to restrict
the right OF suffrage at all is something
surprising. The resolution contains the
germ of all that has yet been commended
for by those who have opposed unlimited
suffrage. If the gentleman from East
Tennessee should lay poll tax on all who
would exercise the right to vote, then
the rule is q good one, and may be
carried to the extent Of forbidding in
eompelents, as a class, from voting at
the polls. Where is the difference be-
tween disqualifying man for want OF
intelligence and prohibiting the same
individual for the reason that be has not
paid g certain amount Of taxi The
first strikes the mind Of the law-maker
as the most sensible, while the latter
amounts 10 nothing more than property
qualification.
If Mr.. Baxter is not at heart in favor
Of the extension of suffrage to every
one, it should be made known. This
dodgiog the question is disgusting to
contemplate, and is in keeping With the
mans character, who was at all times a
go.betseen; and il would be well to eK-
plain our position on this point aud no,
place ourselves 10 doubtful attitude be-
fore the public. We are free to confess that
the idea embraced in the resolution as
above. restricting the right Of suffrage,
meets our approval, and in case the Con
veatiou shosId oppose taking from The
regro the right be already has Of voting,
shall advocate the resolution as being
the best escape from initiated negro ruf-
frage.

81 "SEcLu sEvAL. This is a work pre-
tending to give glimpse of conventual
life but it is so one-sided that all the
evils that may exist in the system are
noticed in full, while not single word
is said of its benefits to the poor or its
useful ness in moulding the moral charae-
ter of the young. Although the name
of Mrs. Graves, of Winchester, Tenn,
appears on the title page as the author
the work is evidently translation from
the French; and its pages contain all
that sort of wishy-washy, commonplace,
out-ofthe-way ridiculous reasoning pecu-
liar to tract societies and tracts, The
work is pointless in this country, where
religions federation exists; but in Eng
land, where thelaw of mortmain remains
on the statute books, where no Catholic
institution can hold land in itsown name.
where testator can leave an annuity to
a cat or build hospital for invalid dogs
but cannot leave copper to Catholic
associations, because they are outside
the pale of the law, it might have some
force and be read by large circle OF
zealots and bigots. ~
