packed away in an old trunk. The mother

1T seems that the spirit of indepen-
dence and mauiness exhibited recently by
the colored voters Of Springfield, in that
they nominated city ticket OF their own,
is contagious, for since then it has mani
tested itself at other poin,s in
a similar manner. The latest
awakening is in Jackson county,
where, as in Alexander county, the col
ored voters have for years been loyal sup
porters of Republican ticket upon which
they had no representative, and elected men
to office whose professions of love tor the
poor negro proved, after election, to have
been shut delusion and snare" The
awakening is signalcd BY the following note
from prominent colored voter Of the
county, named JohniNixop, to the Jackson
County Era, published at Murphy sboro,
last week: II wish to announce my name
in your paper as conservator for and in
behalf of the colored people and the re-
publican party. am nOw in the field for
the purpose of asserting the rights OF the
coored voters, and will be until the day of
election and every Office filled. We de-
mand, as colored voters of Jackson county,
and give due notice to the white republic
cans, that in all those precincts that are
largely populated by colored voters we want
the fourth office, we ask this rs right and
should the white republicans deny this
right, then we refuse to support them, and
will run an independent candidate Of our
own at the coming county election"
The work of gcrrymanderng the state
of Illinois has now commenced in the state
legislature and the chief aim Of the repub.
| icans is, of course, to form the districts so
as to give them more than their share OF
representatives. Taking the vote Of the
two parties in this at the last presidential
election as guide, the democrats would
be entitled to nine districts and the repub
icans to eleven; but according TO plan
recently submitted to the legislature by =
republican, the democrats would receive
but five districts in the state. An especial
| effort seems to be made to rcdis.rict Hon.
W. P. Morrison out of congress, by making
his district strongly republican. Of this
attempt the Chicago Tribune says: "If
the proposition is carried out the transfer
Bill Morrison's county Of Monroe into the
Cairo district for the purpose of throwing
Morrison out of congress il will. produce
popular resentment which will most cer-
tanly result in his election and the loss of
the Cairo district to the republicans. Max
ing this change would be as foolish bun-
der as that Of the dog which dropped the
chunk Of juicy bcerstake to grasp at its re.
| fuction which he saw in the water. Mon
roe county IN 1873 gave 1000 democratic
majority, and in 1880 she gave Morrison
900. Force her into the Cairo district for
the purpose OF slaughtering her fovori'c
William and she will roll up 1900 to 1000
for him." The Tribune is prob IDLY right
and therefore it is only to be hoped that
Monroe will be "forced into the Cairo dis
trict" for then the old 18Th would roll up q
democratic majority for William such as
was never seen there before. Mr.. Morrison
seems to have anticipated this on the'part of
the republicans and will become citizen
Of aud a representative from the Cairo dis
trict whether the guaranteeing solons
will or no.
