CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION.


When the Republican party in the
flush of its triumph granted the prlVl-
lege of the ballot to the colored popa-
lstion of the South il was well-known that
there was more politics than philan-
throphv in the act, and then when hey
found that they had thereby given The
Democratic party about Third more
representatives in Congress, they were
mad enough TO bite themselves.
Since the discovery of that pretty Trick
OF hari-kari" the G. o. p. have been
urging by Ku Klux laws and various
other devices to disfranchise the whites
and make machine made Republican
majority in the South. The Supreme
Court of the United States incontinently
sat down on The Congressional acts passed
for that purpose, but the Republicans
ALWAYS intent on some misdeed with
which TO stamp their policy OF sectional
hate stopped work in the South, and
proclaimed that because the blacks
were in the majority therefore
the Republicans must be cheated
and bull-dOzed wherever they could
not count majority. Or, in other
words, the idea was to enact laws on
the superstition that it was impossible for
A Southern State to be Democratic if the
negroes were in the majority. This sor!
of rumor and hearsay legislation, predi-
Gated on the supposed efficacy OF mere
prejudice, without regard to fact, vas
good enough for large number OF Re
publicans, but it was one of the things,
along with star route Jobs and land steals,
that awakened the sense and patriotism
of the North to the monstrosity Of the
Radical policy.
The radicals seem ignorant now OF the
elements that bea, them, and one of the
face cards in their pack of stocked cards
10 the proposition TO reduce the Congress
sional and Electoral representation Of he
South because they assert that the vote
is not fairly counted.
Let the South bear this in mind among
other points in the great game and hasten
to organize the Democratic party on the
idea of self preservation, or else the PEG
pie will be in worse condition than
under the rule of the Chamberlaynes and
Piereponts and the deputy carpe,-bag
gers.
The Radicals, if they win, will attemp'
to fortify their power so as to steal the
Presidency the next time as they did be-
fore and burglarize the vote of the South
The experience of the Southern people
is not so closely sealed a volume as 10
make them incapable of drawing lesson
from the past that will teach them the
best and safest policy for the future.

First Veto OF Cor. Lee.

Gov. Lee has returned to the
Senate without his approval the
bill 10 permit taxpayers who have
rendered coupons in payment Of
taxes 10 make payment IN money
70 county and t'iry treaSdrerS. His
objections 10 the law are: "First,
The relief granted applies to those
persons who may hereafter tender
coupons for taxes as we'll as to
those who have heretofore made
such tender. and, as there are but
two terms of The Ci;cnit Court per
annum, the privilege granted of
paying county treaSurerS after ten.
der of COUPONS will he IN many
cases to grant six months time TO
withdraw tile same. incurring but
triflinr Costs, thus Offering an in
ducement to tender.
SECOND, the bill seeks to make
the taxpayer an officer to return
receipts for taxes to the auditor of
public accounts, who shall then
open an account with the treasurer,
etc. AS many taxpayers will new
rr send these receipts, it Is plain
the treasurer'S accounts will be
open for an in letinite period. The
eleventh section of the present law
is concise, clear AMI ccmprehen-
Sive, both in providing for The col
lection of the tax and the settle
ment and closing up Of the ac-
counts of the officers.
"Third, u very large portion of
the tenders which have been made
were for the taxes OF 1885, and
there is now due upon such taxes
more than years interest," This
bill rel! yes the battles who made
Vne terders from pay ment of this
interest"
These are some of the reasons
which induce me to >eld the bll
back 10 the Senate without my
signature. FITzHUGH LEE.
The House afterwards passed
Mr.. Ryan's bill, which is intended
to meet these objections.
