in my work of humanity so much as the

prayers of all followers of our blessed
Master that success may attend my hum

The woman referred to is Mrs. Emeline
Meaker, sentenced to be hung to-day fol
the murder of young relative in Water,

fore our paper reaches the majority OF
its r5aders the sentence will have been

in the nation" Mrs. Meaker deliberately
poisoned young girl because the chile
was troublesome and she wished her ou

was convicted upon the strongest evi

could doubt her capabilty of commit

woman who would sit with her chair

themselves more and more to the sur

with gray. whose smooth bands made a
kind of frame to the face. was covered by
a lace or muslin cap. with lappets of rich

Tho ciuil-RiQhts Bill.

Yesterday the supreme Court OF the
United states gave the coup de grace to the
clvil-riQhts legislation Of the Radical Con-
crosses Of a few years ago. We have not
received the text OF the opinion OF the
Court. but the substance OF The decision Is
no doubt that all laws intended TO punish
persons by fine, imprisonment, or other
wise. for violating the thirteenth, four
tenth, or fifteenth amendments. are uncon-
stitutional laws. Whyy Because those
amendments, by the very terms In which
they are worded, apply to States only. 1t
is. therefore. simply impossible for a con-
stitutional law to extend their operation to
persons.
We should not be surprised II this deci-
sion raises hubbub in the North. 1t re-
minds us once more OF what distinguished
British lawyer once said-namely, that the
Supreme Court OF the United states was
the one thing in this country OF which the
people ought to be proud.
Now. what will FRED. DOUGLASS say
1t is decided by a Republican supreme
Court that Congress CANNOT pass law
opening theatres, hotels, churches, &c.'
&C., TO negroes.
Truth Will triumph in the end.

Witch the Ballot-Box.

The Democratic Campaign of this week
makes the following important announce
mcnt:
TAKE HEED OF THIS We have reason
to believe that twill be attempted to count
the Democracy out OF their coming triumph
in November. That a conspiracy Is CON-
c0cted 20 do this we have substantial Ca
sons 10 believe.
II viii not succeed.
The people are in 10 mood TO be triAed
with.
II the conspiratOrs imagine that they can
browbcot and cheat the people they will be
undeCciyed in Il manner 10 be remembered.
Let them take heed now
Ii they do not they will regret it.
The law allows the Democrats to have a
person present during the counting Of the
vote at each precinct. The Democrats
must see TO il that there is such man at
every precinct.
But the most threatening danger lies in
the fear OF iniormaities. The vote OF
Gloucester county was thrown out last
year because the seal of the Circuit Court
was used in aCthenticating the returns in
stead OF the seal of the County Court. 1t
is important, therefore, that all the forms
OF law should be complied with. Other
wise, there may be members elected TO the
Legislature this year Is MAYO was elected
to Congress last year.

A Baltimore drummer here to-day, who
has lust returned from an extended tour
through Virginia, says there is no more
doubt Of Mahone's defeat than there is Of
Foraker's, and that he and all the members
Of his guild who travel in Virginia are
snatchinr at all the few bets they can get.
Mr.. Dezendorf is here to-day, on his
return from Harrisonburg, Va, where he
addressed a large Straightout Republican
meeting last Thursday night. He says the
Republicans, not only OF Rockingham
county but Of the whole Valley, are sick
and tired OF Malone and his selfish me-
thods, and will let him know it at the
coming election. In Rockingham they in
tend 10 nominate for the Legislature two
respected, thrifty. and well-known
farmers. and will give them q tlattering
support. He says his letters from all over
the State are to the effect that the
Republicans have determined to abandon
the Malone coalition and let the General
flock by himself. One letter is from ID. L.
Gresham, Of Lancaster county, who says
the Straightouts there have nominated
Fleming for the Senate and Rains for the
House Of Delegates, and that the prospects
are very favorable. The Straightouts will
also nominate candidates for the Legisla-
ture in the Norfolk, NansemOnd. and Fair
fax districts.
Letters received here from Southwest
Virginia say the plan OF refusing to hold
joint meetings with the Mahonetes, COM
menced in the eastern portion OF the State,
has been adopted there also, and with the
most gratifying results. az by it the Demo
cratic meetings are shown to be large and
enthusiastic, and composed Of the intelIi-
gent, industrious. and thrifty men OF the
communities, while those OF the MlhOneites
are small and spiritleSs, and constituted
chiefly OF negroes, with Spinkling OF lazy.

Malone and the Tobacco Tax.


/. is doubtless too late in the campaign
for such matter to cause anybody's vote
TO be changed by its discussion, vet as 1t
has been again brought up, the influence
exercised 10y General MALONE in securing
the reduction OF the tobacco tax at the last
session OF Congress may be briefly alluded
to.
On the 10th OF February last, in tue
United States Senate. The vote was taken
on the motion 10 reduce the tax on tobacco
TO EIGHT cents. The result was-ayes 30.
noes a. OF the ayes, 81 were Democrats.
OF the noes, only were Democrats. So
that the Democratic vote was ayes u. noes
(. whilst the Republican vote Gncluding
General MAHONE's) was ayes ., noes 20.
The Republican senators voted more than
two to one against reduction. The Demo-
cratic senators voted more than five to one
in faror Of reduction. Did General Ma
HONE influence one single Democratic
senator's votel We suppose tina: no one
will claim that he did. Did he influence
one single Republican senator to vote for
the reduction We know not but lei that
be rs Il may, the figures show clearly
enough that but for the votes OF the Demo
cratic senators the senators who voted for
reduction would have constituted yey
insignificant minority.
