creditors, and fourth is said to be

the White House. The capital looks

April 26, 1927.

THE Republican now says it was in
error, that the negroes are not qualified
to vote at the school election on the first
Saturday of May. They had never been
taxed for. city school purposes, and
the last Legislature passed law making
the payment of tax prerequisite to
qualify citizen to vote at the city school
election, as well as at the municipal elec-
tion. This law operates to exclude all
from voting who do not pay taxes. Be-
fore this law was passed the negroes who
did not pay city school taxes in some of
the wards cast enough votes to carry the
election. The white people found their
money thus directed by an ignorant class
who held the balance of power, while
they did not contribute anything to the
funds. 1t is quite consistent with Radical
partizan legislation for the Republican to
complain that the negro is not permitted
to direct our schools. 1t is not long since
that paper was an advocate of mixed
schools, and the negroes have only been
kept out Of our numerous public schools
by Democratic legislation, and the denun-
citation Of such attempts by the wives and
daughters of Republicans, aided and
encouraged by the loyal Democratic
women Of the city and county.
The fact is now clearly proved that the
white people of this city are paying year
ly about 5000 to keep up separate
schools for negroes, while the negroes pay
no educational tax for city school pur-
poses. This has heretofore been stated
by the GAZETTE and as often denied by
the Radical papers.

THE NEXT SENATE EDEMoCRATIc.-A
Washington dispatch to the World saws
the effect of the election of Judge Spof-
ford to the U. S. Senate from Louisiana
may produce an entire change in that
body. After rrediting Judge Davis to the
Republicans (where he is not to be re-
lied on) it leaves them with majority of
only three votes. Should another Dem
ocrat be elected in Louisiana it will re-
duce the Republicans to two ovotes, which
of course is too small for any practical
party purpose. There is every reason to
believe that the Democrats can organize
the Senate in December with President
pro tem., Secretary, &C., ON assurance of
two, if not three, votes from Southern Re-
publicans who may find it to their inter-
est not to act any longer with the Re-
pupican party, which they admit has
been abandoned by the Administration
in the South. A Democratic Senate next
fall, as well as Democratic House, is
looked upon to-day by the politicians
here as a well-ascertained probability. 1t
may come at the extra session.
The daily gazette., 1877-04-25

GROWING VIoLENT.-The Republican
has suddenly grown violent on politics.
1t has gone right over to the negroes on
the school question. and in addition de-
nounces property qualification for office,
which has been in existence in the State
since the formation of the Constitution.
Why has not the Republican City Coun-
Gil petitioned the Legislature for the alb
rogation of the property qualification in
that body? 1t says:
Another infamous paragraph of this
same school bill has never been exposed
fully yet. The same bill that DISTINGUISHES
the colored man also tiisfrdnchiSes the white
man from becoming a mem Der of the Board
unless he is freeholder."
So it is infamous not to allow the me-
gro to govern our schools to which he
gives no pecuniary aid; and infamous to
require a freehold as prerequisite to
handle the money derived frem tax on
property. Well, the Republican is mad
anyhow, land about all that is necessary to
make it rave is to say Hayes Extensively
nthe editors ear. 1t no doubt regrets
its old friend, Ben Wade, was not nomi-
mated instead of Hayes and many OF its
Radical readers would now he glad to see
it raise old Ben's name at its masthead
as the Presidential candidate for 1880.
