Is is strange to observe the incon-
sistency OF s6ine bourbon Den,D:
cratic white men who should know
better. Previous to an election
they curse, abuse and malign the
colored man. They declare him to
be inferior to the white race, incapa
ble of proper development and only
suited to be hewers of wood and
drawers of water. They exclude
this same colored man from men,
bersbip in their Democratic clubs.
They deny him the privilege of
participating in the nomination of
any candidate for Office. They
give him to understand by every
method known that he is not wapt-
ed, and yet when the colored man
takes them at their word, fails to
intrude himself at their meetings
refuses to vote for candidates that
he was denied the privilege OF
nominating they proceed to Wig
Orously abuse him, and declared
that he is fool for keeping the
black vote solid. Not only that
but they talk about discharglng
colored help on account of the way
colored men vote, when their every
action tends to maintain the solidi
ty of which they complain. This il
the Democratic inconsistency in
the south and comes we think from
the fact that these Bourbons have
to learn that the Negro is just Xix,
other people.

A HAPPY ENDING.

We endeavor to accord praise
where it is desei we'd. The action
of Gov FITZHUGH LEE IN COM
muting the sentence of SIMON S.
WALKER, the fifteen year old color
ed boy, sentenced to be hanged at
Chesterfield, @. H., was in keeping
with that mercy which we must all
sooner or later expect. AS we an
nounced in the beginning, it was
not a question of race or color, il
was one of humanity. We felt con
fdent that as zone touch of nature
makes the whole world kim" men
regardless Of color would aid in the
work of saving tue life of child
We were not mistaken. The &C
ton of the liberal minded white
citizens of Chesterfield in signing
and publicly expressing themselves
as being opposed to the execution
is commendabIe.
What can we say, too Of the no
ble-hearted Sheriff GILL, who did
what he could, though sworn to
execute the mandates Of the law!
The alacrity with which he respond
ed to orr request that WALKER be

also in Petersburg, both the state
and national law was violated.
A state stands pledged 10 guar
antee to all Of its citizens the priv
ilege of casting a ballot as in his
judgment he deems best. In the
EAST named places long lines of COL
ored men were unable TO vote and
were driven away from the polls at
sunset. This was in violation of
of law and the conservators Of the
peace and officers of the law viola
ted the very trust that they had
assumed under OATH To say that
the state, municipalities and coun-
ties complied with the national law
by having any polling places what
ever is not borne out by facts. A
state might establish only one vct
ing place IN each county, and city
and all WHO could not be, accom-
modated, white and black driver

that it had complied with the pro
visions Of the law.

wise would be to declare the ele,

agogue who found it to his selfis
