A DKPUTY u. 8. marshal In Tennessee last
week shot the owner OF licensed distillery
because he refused, under the law, to sell
him smaller quantity of whiskey than ten
gallons. Because a deputy u 8. marshal,
when not on duty, was shot in drunken
broil in Florida recently, the President and
Attorney General of the United States pro-
claimed four counties 10 that State under
martial law. But neither Mr.. Harrison nor
Mr. Miller seems to have read the accounts
of the later murder. though the newspapers
read at the White House and at the Depart
ment OF Justice contained full accounts of it.
That, however, may be explained upon the
ground that the murderer 10 the former case
was democrat and private citizen, while
In the latter he was republican and fed

as follows:

vote, the republican party Is dead. The

At THE recent meeting OF the Pennsyva-

"There ara two ships. and 1t remains for
Congress to say whether they shall go back
loaded or not We are che people and we
will be heard. We will be free not only in

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 6.

Tup IuNs number of the North American
Rer;e,, contains an article In favor OF the
Fsdersl Control of Elections, by MIR. SpeaS
or Rsed. In it Mr.. Reed takes the GROUND
that though q southern State may Tor sell-
preservation, prevent numerical majority
of negroes from seizing the State govern
ment. as there is no danger OF their
se!zirg the government OF the Uniteo
States, their maj ority must be counted at all
federal elections. 10 other words, mat
though a negro may be good enough TO vote
for President and Congressman, he is not
good enough to vote for constable and mag
istrate. What is good therefore, according
to Mr.. Reed, for the whole, is not good
for part, aud what is bad for
part Is not bad for the whole, which, accord
ing to better reasoners, is absurd. Mr.. Reeo
also has a dreadful opinion of the moral
condition of community in which people,
respected by their neighbors, boldly acEnowi-
edge, not like Senator Sherman, that any
thing Is justi6sble 10 law and morals that
will beat down the democratic party, Dul
that the imposition of IN educational quali-
cation upon suffrage. by no means as restrict
i've az that of Massachusetts, and the firing
of guns and pistols on the morning OF cleo
ton days as Is done on Christmas morning
ara iustifiable in order to maintain white gu
prsmacy where that of the negroes would
mean the immediate ruin of every material
interest of the community. Southern pee.
think that the moral condition of com
munity is By no means elevated when
not to save its every interest, but merely to
elect one white man over another. 1t ooun
tenances aud approves the open barter and
sale of suffrage pracliced in Mr.. Reeds dis
trict at the last election. and by means OF
which Mr.. Reed was sent back to Congress
Tnen, too, Mr.. Reed should know that the
exclusion of few ignorant and vicious
negroes from the polls does not compare
with the infamy of the Acknowledgement Of
thousands OF intelligent white men, by the
unseating of legally elected federal Senators
aud Representatives.
