IT hasbeen standing cause of COM
plaint with many Republican journals,
that the, poor colored men. in the
Southern States were disfranchised by
virtue of laws which require the pay
ment of a tax to entitle citizen to
vote. Allowing this to be true, and a
just cause of complaint, what defense
have Republican papers TO make to
the fact that no citizen is. allowed to
vote in, Pennsylvania, unless he has
paid q State or county tax. And fur
ther than this the law is so accomno-
dating to those who have many or few
voters in their employ, that they can
tell how every man votes, aud in this
way take advantage OF the, poor mans
necessities, and compel him to vote
against his convictions of right and
duty. The law of Pennsylvania re-
qnires the Election Inspector to regis
ter, and numbers the name of every
voter, and the same number is writ
ten on the back of the ballot before it
is deposited in the ballot box. This
makes it possible to tell how every
man votes and defeats the object of the
secret ballot. Ifa law SO objectional
and iniquitous can be found upon the
statute book of any Southern State we
have yet to be advised OF its existence.
This law together. with the infamous
frauds Rracticed in the large cities of
that State, and especially in PhiIadel-
phia, IN the execution of the registry
law. and the bargains of the party lead
ers with the king of the Moliies, Jack
kehoe, have enabled the Republicans
10 carry The State for many years
against the, honest sentiments Of the
people, The abridgement OF the right
ofsulfrage in Pennsylvania is a good
subject for the special committee un-
der Blaines resolution. Let the light
shine upon the dark places. >, Let
wrong be exposed, and the poor secur-
ed in the rights and privileges that
equity and justice entitIe them to-
Ashtabnla Standard.

ONE day in July last young man
named Will Davis, a printer by trade,
left his home in Cleveland, and inform
ed his wife that he was going down
town to hunt work. at his trade, and
from that time to the present nothing
whatever has been seen or heard of
him by his wife. She states that they
had no trouble whatever, and why he
should leave her and child less than
one year old, is mystery to every
one. He was formerly from Wooster,
Ohio. ANY information in regard to
his whereabouts will be thankfully re-
ceived by his bereaved wife at Frank

! Those Republicans who have been
felicila;ing themselves over the posi-
bic fact that Judge Thurman put his
foot into it when he offered an amend
,nent to the Blaine resolution extend:
ing the election inquiry TO! the North
I ern, as we'll as the Southern States,
have miscalculated the - purpose in
view and the real object in Offering il.
Il was thought by them that Thurman
| would not be able to make good the
assertion that there was intimidation
at the North, and that an inquiry in.
that direction would only result in
trouble for the pains. Within the past
few days Senator Baily, of Tennessee,
a Democratic member of the Teller
Committee, has received batch'of
affidavits from reputable witnesses,
making broadly the allegation that
they were cOerced to vote against theip.
convictions in the recent GubernatOri-
al election in Massachusetts. Among
these are affdavits from fourteen col
ored men. Three of them set forth
that they are employed in a shoe fac
tory al Lynn, and that they were Civ
eu to understand by the Superintend-
ent of the factory that if they voted
for Butler their services would be dis
pensed with. Eight other .colored
men join in an affidavit that they are
employed in mill at Lowell that on
the day of the election they were not
only bounded and requested to vote
the anti i.Butler ticket, but that the Su- |
perintendent accompanied them to the |
polls, and personally made it his bns-
iness to see that they voted the ticket |
their employers desired they should. |
One of them refused to SO vote, and |
was discharged the next day. Anoth-
er affidavit is subscribed to by a color |
cd man and an Irish employe of bank.
They wrote in the statement that the I
President, who had never spoken to |
either, called each into the bank office t
the day preceding the election, and
told them that if they voted for q en-
eral Butler it would be'direGtiy against
the interests of their employers, and
that the force of the bank would, have
to be reduced to the extent of dispen-
sing with their services. In addition
to the afildavits, which have been sent
without request or restraint to Sens.
tor Bailey, Judge Thurman is also re-
ceiving similar complaints. tits al
legged that Ben Butler Is active In fur
nishing this class Of evidence, aud that
when all the testimony is forwarded
The fact will be demonstrated that even
IN Boston, the hub of the universe,
and in MASSACHUSETTS,, the great moral
State, that species of Intimidation
was practiced equally as fOrcible in
results as in South Car
,lina, Louisiana and Georgia, Wash

Commenting upon this fact the En-
quirer aptly remarks that sat each
time they brought ruin and desolation
on thousands upon thousands of peo-
pie of this country: and yet, with all
the calamities they brought upon the
people, their explosions cost the peo.
pie Jess than if they had continued to
exist. The best banks ape the ones
