OF COURSE no we'll informed man ever
supposed for On instant that the bill TO pen
sion ex-slavts, recently introduced in the U
s. House of Representatives By western
republican member, would ever become
law, 80 that the report from Washington
that it will never be heard Of again is not al
all surprising. The fact that it was inlro
ducsd. however, will be used during the
coming campaign in the South as one of the
mesus that will be employed to make the
negro vote In this section solid for the re-
publican candidates. The negroes, p or
things. will be made to believe that the mere
Introduction of the bill is proof as strong ss
holy writ that the republicans would per-
alon them If 1t were not for the "b!oody' y
democrats in Congress, and that with great-
or republican majority 10 that body, every
ex-save in the country would be drawing 8
pension larger than he would have hired for
before he was emancipated. The way the
republicans fool the poor ignorant negroes
is cruel, and the persistence with which the
latter, after twenty years of schooling. pei
nit themselves to be deceived by such patent
tricks, shows the utter iDutility OF the Blair
Lii, that was recently defeated by republi
can votes In the U. 8. Senate.

nays 144.
Mr.. Hemphlll offered an amendment to
section 80 ofthe bill to insert the words ''ex-
cept section 1889 of the revised statutes Of
the United States" He explained that tha!
section OF the bill empowered the supervi
to use the army and nsvy at the polls and
tire purpose of his amendment was to elim.-
nate that provision.
Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, said that the bill
provided for the appointment of partisan
supervisors and surrounded those superyi-
sors with United Stales soldiers at their
beck and call, 10 order to make the vc!ers
feel that they were under ths terrors of
military authority.
Mr. Allen, OF Mississippi, regretted that

THIS Is supposed, by foreign nations at
least to be free and equal country. But
the republicans don't hesitate to say that
their proposed national election law will be
operative only In the South. They say
elections In the North are at leaet tolerably
fair, and that In that section nobody will
ask for tho enforcement OF the law but that
y is utterly different in the South, in which
section, not ali the voters, but only all the
negro voters, must be made to vote, whether
they want to do 30 or not. White people,
South as we'll es North, will not be subject
to tha rule of negro maiorities, and, as
previously stated. the chief effect OF the bill
referred to, should it become 8 law, will be
large increase in the death rate Of deputy
supervisors aud marshals in the southern hall
of the country. II it have any other ELECTS,
they may as we'll come now SO later. So,
even should the bill pass, the people OF the
South need not be as those without hope.

THE DEFEAT of the amendment to the
federal election bill, that would have made
that bill operative in every congressional
district of the country, and not only In GEL
tain districts in The South. shows that the
republican osj3lity in The o. s. House OF
Representatives don't even pretend that
that bill is nst;onal in Its character, but
that. on the contrary, they desire 1t to be
known throughout the limits of the country

meaeure, AID intended only to operate In
