The Abrogation of the Fiji
tcenth Amendment.

A5-c.-rl. ri s,i>sippi, special TO the
Pir.yuue, which We reproduce else
wha.e. states that Gen. 4. VI. Vest, State
Senator from Marshall country, yester-
day introduced in the Legislature me-
mortal u Congress, asking for the abrO-
CATION Of The Fifteenth Amendment to
the Fslaal Constitution, and instruc-
ting .h. Mississippi delegation in Con-
grps5 in accordance Herewith. The me
mortal further directs the Secretary OF
Stat, Of Mississippi TO furnish copy to
the Governor 81 each State in the Union
to be laid before their respective legisla-
turca.
The ab0gation of the Fifteenth A.
mendmGt is the hOnly practicaland hui
maAe solution Of the negro question;
and il is The one That the States has per-
sistcn.ly advocated ever since the race
issue became live and aggressive one.
With all due respect TO Senators Hump
ton. Morgan and Call, who have propOs-
ell 10 dap5rt the negroes to Africa, Hayti,
Mp-icg. ur to some territory of the United
State. We must say that We regard their
schemes rs utterly visionary and imprac-
ticablp. Even if the negros were will
ing 10 -, tie deportation Of eight mil
lions Of people w0uld be a work of such
magnitude that it is folly to cOmtem-
plate it. ID would impose the most cruel
hardship upon the negro, and 1t would
convert some Of the fairest portions OF
the South into swamps or deserts.
Disfraurhise the negro and thus rend-
er him an object of indifference to dema-
gogues and agitators, and at the same
time turn his attention from politics
and dreams OF domination TO honest la
Dor. and the race problem will be solved
We congratulate Mr.. West upon the step
hp has taken il This matter. The move
mant e. au.azate the Fifteenth Amend
ment M.y not be cCnsummated this
year, or The next, but with the exception
Of discriminating the negro race, it is the
only practicable solution Of the moment
Oua uruA!om that now rests like an III
cubus on the South, anu which must
sooner or later, be solved, either, by Ell
HghteIgl Christian craftsmanship or by
cruelty and blood States.

brave the dangers which the fears re-
cognize. Fear is the evidence of manly
sensitiveness. Cowardice is the exhibit
Of unmanly weakness. Fear is a
moral attribute Of humanity. Cow
ardice is moral lack. A

the soldier who will not yield to the
fear he feels, who is the truly courage
GUS man. Without a fine perception
and quick apprehension of danger
on every side, no soldier could
be fully alive 10 the necessities
Of his position and to the demands of
his duty; and 1t is. in a sense, peculiar
ly true that the best soldier is likely to be
the most fearful. 1t IS the Braddocks

ROBERT BROWNING.

Anecdotes and criticisms Of Brown.

weekly press here and in England. DR..
Furniyall relates the following
Browning was an admirable reader
OF his poems. At the request Of his SON
he read me two or three Of his 'Joco-
seria' poems from his proofs early IN
1888. One Sunday. soon after, took
over 10 lunch with him my younG
friend, since dead. Miss Teena Rochforl
Smith, girl with extraordinary intui
