One of the worst features of tho disfran-
chisement of the coored voters of the South
is thar under the various amendments of the
Constitution every negro is counted as citi-
zen in the apportionment of members of Con
gress etc. Under the old law, only three
| fifths of the colored people were counted in
| apportionment. Now five. fifths are counted,
increasing by about twenty members the
Southern representation in Congress, while
| none of them are allowed to vote. The South
is ruled by a small minority of whites, and
the North loses relative influence in the Gov
eminent accordingly. This is a serious wrong
and one which must be remeded, albeit our
Democratic contemporaries think that moth
| ing ought to be said to break the blessed era
| of peace and conciliaton when all that is
necessary to make the South happy is for the
North to lay down and be kicked. But in the
whole history of this controversy, since 1890,
the Northern Democracy has held kick from
the South to be legal luxury.
