Harrisons message which seems to
recommend interference with elections Ia

clared the Civil Rights bill unconsttu

President may hold the opinion that

the full rights Of suffrage, even By force
and arms yet there will still remain a
disadvantageous condition, subjeoting
the black man South to equal pangs Of
injustice. A mose general division of

come.
OF course, like everybody else, the
Twilight cannot understand the Presi-
dents message. The message needs dia-
grams and illustrations like the edito-
rials of the Morning News.
Taking 1t for granted that the Presi-
dent means to recommend Federal inter
ence in state elections the Twilight very
properly calls attention to years of dis
tressing and disastrous baYonet rule in
the South which worked destruction and
death to the negroes aud anxiety and loss
Of property to the whites.
Those were dark days The in
nocent negro must revert to
them with shudder aud the white man
with sorrow One contended for the
sacred cause OF "home rule, the others
suffered and died that the carpet -baggers
might enjoy the rights Of pillage and
loot
Hayes Withdrew the troops, and the
situation improved and will continue to
improve. Meantime the Supreme Court
has declared the bill under which all Of
the crimes Of the decalogue were com
mitted-to secure civil rights OF the
unconstitutional.
The Twilight very properly asks
whether President Harrison recommends
a return Of that unhappy period No.
the President wrote that part, as other
parts Of his message, for buncombe. It
does not mean anything. Il is simply a
feeler to meet the demand of few hys-
terical demagogues who profess to think
that something can be done to make the
negro continue to vote the Republican
ticket in constantly increasing numbers
without obtaining any influence or bene-
tit therefor

hold. 1t is for that purpose that they
wish to pay the taxes. They are not
solicitous concerning the state Of the
country treasury; they are solicitous to
control the certificates Of so many men
who are ignorant, plant, dishonest or
dead.
They are not seeking the welfare of
the dupes who transfer rights, which are
sacred to an intelligent and honest man,
and worthless to an ignorant and dishon
est man.
The court viii decide whether any one
of the steps required by law to equip a
man to exercise the privilege Of voting
may be delegated to an attorney who has
an excess of intelligence or deficiency
of honesty. This is not matter which
affects the man only.
The state-which Is the people-is in
terested to preserve the purity Of the
ballot. No man has an inherent right To
vote The privilege is granted to him
under certain conditions and be win for

falling to comply with the law. II the

great numbers of worlxingmen would
control their votes and carry any and all
elections at will
The Republicans do not expect to be
able to do that under color Of law but
they hope to palliate the effect Of their
defiance Of the election laws IA other
respects. They are bluifing.

In 1885 the Republicans did not have a

tlons since then they have practically
made no fight, but now they come before
the community with over 5000 names
of negroes registered. That would require
a negro population Of $4,000 in this
hundred, which competent enumerators
say, is improbable if not impossible.
There were only I, 200 negroes at the last

WAR TIME "REMINISCENCES.
Claim For Back PAY For Military Duty
in the fifth and Sixth.


The testimony in claim case agninst
the government for back pay for military
duty, was taken by Commissioner Earnest
L. Tustin, No 1872 South Sixth street,
Philadelphia, yesterday.
The case which recalls the peculiar
circumstances under which the state of
Delaware was retained in the Union
during the war, Is test suit of w. n.
Wilson against the United States in the
Court of Claims at Washington. w. N.
Wilson is a justice of the peace, collec-
tor of claims ana commissioner of deeds
at Middletown, Del. The suit is on a
claim for back pay, alleged to be due him
for military service during the war, as a
member of the 9th Regiment Delaware
Volunteers. The actual amount sued for
is only 1922 90, but the case in reality
involves an amount between $3.50. 900
and $500, 600, as there are 1900 surviving
members of the two regiments who claim
to be entitled to the back pay.
The records Of these two regiments at
Washington are singularly deficient, and
it was referred back for additional testi-
mony, and in that shape came before the
Commissioner yesterday. The COM
plainant is represented by John w.
Smith OF Washington, and the Govern
ment by Assistant United States District
Attorney John g. Cheney. The witnesses
yesterday examined were: William N.
Wilson of Middletown, Del, Captain
David J. Murphy of Newark, Del. and
Horatio G. Lloyd of Camden, N. j.
From the testimony it would appear
that the regiments were formed not so
much to fight against the Southern
armies as to prevent the Delaware seces-
sionists from taking the state into the
Southern Confederacy
To such pass did the feeling between
the two factions come that the Govern
ment, or Secretary of War Stanton, sent
United States officer to Delaware, who
organized and mustered in number Of
the home guard companies and thereby
formed the 5th and 9th Delaware Regi-
ments, the men taking the regular army
oath.
These regiments did not 60 into active
service, but were for a time kept in the
state, drilling twice week in barracks
provided for them. They were clothed
and armed by the United States Govern
ment, but subsisted themselves.
In support Of this claim they swear
that they were under strict military
duty, and when any member was absent
from drill he was brought in by guard.
