BILM

GOD knows we shave read with
slckening horror the accounts Of
the outrages practiced upon our
people in the South. Living as we
do in this section and witnessing
scenes of injustice in our very
midst, we have felt that any move
in the direction of remedylng these
evils, whether it be in the securing
of our political rights in national
elections or in the betterlng OF our
condition before the "COurts OF
Injustice in the South would be
acceptable.
Thank GOD, all of the liberal
minded white men of the South
are not dead, nor the justice loving
ones of the North passed away
The discussion occasioned by the
passage Of the Federal Election
Bill shows that the pulse-beats o
the heart OF the nation are 81

There have been some oblecaOns
urged against the pending meas

would not completely remedy the
evils for which it was intended.
The assertion that it would be a
step in the direction of righting
a great wrong completely answers
that objection.
The cry that it would cause
blood-shed in this section is one
of the strongest arguments in it's
favor.
Let the South rise mp and resist
it's provisions. Let them fire upon
American citizens at the polls.
Let them butcher. Let them do
their worst, and then remember
that the sacrifice of blood which
took place within few years after
the war will never again be tOlera-

further:
"But every expedient~ that does not

That language is cool, especially
that part which terms this measure
an illegal law" The only an
thority upon which the constitution
atty of the act can be based IS the
U. S. Supreme Court and this au-
gust body by repeated former decis
ions has decided that the Fedora

AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION,

1t is surprising to notice the
reckless statements of some of the
Bourbon Democratic organs. II
our northern contemporaries have
any doubt on this score, they have
but TO read the expressions as set
forth in the following extracts. from
,the charlottesville, Va. Chromtcle,
9th inst. Speaking OF the
ELECTION Bill it says:
The federal election, or force bill,
has been rushed through the House.
under Boss Reeds whip and spur, and
although there is still some doubt
whether it can pass the Senate In time
| for the Fall congressional election, II
becomes the Southern people TO look
matters squarely in the face, and pre-
pare for the worst"
1t admits that the measure has
the color of right" 1t says:
1.-The bill, although 1t has some color
Of right by the letter Of the Constitu
ton, is clearly violative TO the spirit Of
the organic Law. Ostensibly applicable
to the whole Union alike, It is intended
and will, In reality, operate in one
section alone"
1t seems oblivious OF the fac'
that it will operate heavily only
where crime is most manifest
| But let the northern Journals
| notioa the kind of ethics laugh
in the following announcement:
"This being the case our wronge'
people have a right-nay, 1t is thei
duty TO resist its executions by ever.
| means in their poverty every mean
short of open violence, TO-. the simpi
reason that violence would be useless

can be made very elaborate. The CEN
ter part is of linen, then an insertion of
lace, band of linen, and then the eGg
ing of lace, which is sometimes foot
wide. In the corners are embroidered
/ the crest or monogram, and sometimes
the full coat-of-arms in the center,
The center piece is of silver: hand
some one is of four Cupids, holding
bowl from which projects several can
dlesticks. The bowl should be filled
with tea roses and daffodils, while the
sticks should have yellow candles. The
end pieces are to match, but much
smaller, and filled with the same kind
of flowers and candles. Bowls of silver
are placed at the table corners and filled
with viOletS.
At each cover place two forks, two
knives and spoon; the latter for soup,
the smaller knife and fork for fish and
potato, and the larger for the main
course.
Place the water and wine glasses at
the plate, also bunch of yellow roses
tied with yellow ribbon for the ladies,
and small punches of violets for the
gentlemen.
Silver or gold bowls and bottles on
tray for the salt and pepper should be
at the end of the table.
Napkins at the right of the plate con-
tanning square of bread, and the maid
supplies extra pieces until after the
salad course.
Vegetable dishes, and meat and fish
covers. which are placed over the meat
and fish when it is brought to the table,
are of silver. Some prefer to arrange
the fruits, nuts and fancy cakes as CEN
| ter pieces for the first of the dinner.
The following is an excellent dinner:
First course, tomato, soup; second
| course, boiled Spanish mackerel, boiled
| potatoes; third course, roast beef, white
and sweet potatoes, rice, peas, corn,
| spinach, celery, pickles; fourth course,
| lobster salad, pate de fos de gras, pine
| apple; fifth course. ice cream, ice. blanc
| mango. branded peaches, cake; sixth
| course, fruit, nuts, fancy cakes, candies
| and coffee.
