A NEW QUALIFICATION FOR SUFFRAGE.


A NEW QUALIFICATION FOR SUFFRAGE
The Picoyune has abated or abandoned
its support Of literary qualification for
suffrage, but it has instituted another far
more startling. It is that the sufragan
should vote for such persons as his oppo-
nent may designate. Let US formulate
this as it would appear on the statute
book. 1t will be more dignifed and i'm
pressive:
WHEREAS, "The conservative white peo-
pie have labored most zealOusly and with a
spirit of sacrifice, of Cancellation, and
earnest endeavOr to induce the negroes to
unite with them in electing honest and
capable men for important offices, and to
withdraw from association with notorious
rogues and plunderers of our people," and,
Whereas, The reception of this reasonable
'We are very thankful to you, gentlemen,
but we can't abandon our party"
Be it therefore enacted That the Repub-
lican party be and it hereby is disbanded
and dissolved within the jurisdiction of
Louisiana, and each of its members is here
by declared in political Outlawry.
Be it further enacted, That if any
person of color or of mixed blood shall de-
sire to exercise the right of voting at any
public or political election within the State,
according to the form of law in such case
made and provided by the Congress of the
United States, such person shall report to
the Democratic or White League club of
the parish, district or ward within which
such person shall for the past ten
days have resided, and shall be entitled
to receive from the said club printed
or written ticket having thereon the
names OF such candidates for office as
the club may deem honest, intelligent, repu-
table and Of undoubted fidelity to the
Democratic or White League party. Upon
the production of this permit, the cOlOred
voter shall be entitled to safe conduct to,
from and at the places of registry and
voting nearest his legal residence; provided,
the cOlored voter SO accepting the permit
and safe conduct shall sign declaration to
the effect that he accepts the same vOlunta-
rily as a full compliance with the act OF
Congress- passed April 9, 1866, entitled IAN
act to protect all citizens of the United
States in their civil rights, and to furnish
the means of their vindicatiOn," and Of all
acts passed in furtherance OF the same OBJ
ject.
Such is the practical amendment of the
P;coyatne to the law of registry and suffrage.
If that journal excerpts to the statement,
we ask it to read and reason logically upon
its Friday article in reply to the New
York Times. Such ex parte and excitable
statements will require more elaborate
reply. This we will ad dress to the New
York Times, and it will have temperate
refutation of the Picayune's charges. In
the meantime, the journal which the other
day so much deprecated the White League
movement, now proposes, in effect, that
the colored people shall abandon the Re-
publican party, vote the White League
ticket, or that the ''race power" of the
whites shall be concentrated" to resist
and overcome their consistent con.
spiracy."

is thus stated by hose of that natios
who know well its condition: "'- --'-~'

IS 1nus stated by hoSe OF stnat natioH
who know we'll its condition: --''''
The greet majority Of the population Of
France should b W66S16d oven to despair
with this sterile strife OF parties, and are
Disguised with the .Dboclute absence OF
patriotism in these ambitious political scots
which dream of nothing except Of their
little church, and which do not wish to I'M
derstand that q nation 90 cruely tried as
France has been for fout years past aspires
above all things to rep0se, and that she
is ready to range~heeself under the direc-
| ton OF the man or the party which will
offer it to her.
This reasoning all leads from the Con-
stitutent Assembly through the Trium-
virate, the Consulate, to the Empire, and
as the people of France have quarrelled
themselves to exhaustion and are willing
''to range themselves under the man or
party which will give them repose, we
may consider that General Septennat has
life tenure in the supreme executive
power of France, and that the French peo-
pie will be very we'll satisfied with the re-
suit.
We would submit that in Louisiana the
various parties and leagues of the anti
Republican type have the same vertigo,
the same intolerance, the sa me absolute
want of patriotism" and that Louisiana
has been as ''cruelly tried for many years"
past as France herself. Why then should
we not expect the same calm counsels at
home as abroad? Why should not this
apothegm be as true here as in France!
The object of all governments is the well
fare Of the people, and the government
which assures domestic order and tran
guilty, with dignity and safety abroad,
has it not the right to expect the respect
of all, even from the minority ,ohich has
not participated in its creation"
From all this we infer that France is no
model for Louisiana, and that those who
would impel our people in the same path
of revolution and violence are dangerous
and incompetent advisers. Let Louisiana,
therefore, profit by the example and avoid
the misfortunes of France. Let her treat
her difficulties on an American model.
The constitutional government which
assures domestic peace and foreign respect
should be respected and sustained even by
the anti-Republican minority which has
not" participated Gin the creation" of the
administration.
