The CoNIUMAcY Of those Southern
States where the Democracy are in
power is still evident. The legislation
projected in Tennessee and Virginia. in
evasion of the Civil Rights Bill shows
the still hostile temper of those people
toward the freedmen. They are deter
mined TO maintain the brand Of an infe-
Nor caste upon their late slaves. This
diseloses the insincerity of their profes-
sions of accepting the situation. The
recent Democratic successes have given
them warrant for this attempt TO nullify
an act Of Congress. These attempted
evasions will only bring on still greater
than existing troubles and result in an
ultimate humiliation If the falsest and
meansst pride that ever crazed passion
blinded people
