These and other old prohibitions were

the equal protection OF the laws. or
the, exercise of the elective franchise
by coIored persons. or any thing else
that belongs to the privileges or im-
munities of citizens Of the United
StatesP Is this the result of declaring,
by an amendment OF the Federal Con-
stitution, that a State shall not do
what the amendment forbids it to do,
and then saying that Congress- may
enforce the prohibition by appropriate
fcgislstion? It il quite obvious that If
