The effort made by the Republican

mainly based upon the disturbance

Of that faction woGld have stopped

of office.
Their plan to attain these ends was
to consolidate the negro vote by
drawing the rae line, and to attract
white adventures by the promise oil
a share of the spoils. They began
this work in the last Legislature by
taking away the home government
of the town of Danville, and by sub
stituting for it charter, which made
the blacks masters of the new cor
poration. In that town the whites
pay forty thousand dollars of annual
taxes, and the negroes pay about
twelve hundred dollars. Ignorance
was put On top to administer the
public trusts, and Intelligence was
subord mated.
The Republicans fully expected to
carry the present Legislature. They

"ninety-five per cent. of the black
vote as the chief factor of the esti

Gen. Cameron, Gorham, and the Re
