SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION
q mi. gH.iI.

To The Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A primary cause OF the unhappy Industrial
and political condition Of this nation to-day NAV
be traced to the magnanimity Of che North t'
against the South in trusting It like BROTH IL
IL a grave charge to make against our Southern
friends that they have grossly abused the conf
dence reposed In them by General Grant when Mt
Appomattox he refused TO humilIate them, but put
them upon their honor brothers and citizdns.
True never since then has there been open armed
resistance to Federal authority, but there has been
and there Is to-day its equivalent.
Look at the Congressional representation OF the
Southern States In National Legislature. and
what do see? A practically solid Democratic
delegation They come from districts which have
been formed with the national census as a basis
Of enumeration. In that enumeration the black man
was counted. II | may use a figure, upon the
shoulders of the blacks and whites together rests
a large portion OF the Congressional districts of
the Southern States to-day. In the national census
n black counted much a white. Honor and
patriotism demanded that II the black man was
counted n citizen for the purpose Of creating
Congressional districts he should nave, part ann
lot In the matter of regula ting ana sustaining those
districts II he was man In the hrst case Justice
unequvocally declares that he Is a man In the
second case II his hands were clean enough 10
bear an equitable part in the creation OF desirable
thing his hands ought to be stu considered clean
enough TO allow him TO hold fast In an equitable
way to that thing which could not have been created
Right at this point comes in ne damnSns facts facts
against our Southern friends Aiter ouiIuns those
representation OF whites and blacks together they
say the blacks in scores OF Congressional dis
tricts: "Begonel Make yourselves scarce. Have a
care that In your voting you do not In any way
endanger the election OF our party or candidate"
The result Is always the same. thousands of col
ored voters who out OF n sense OF gratitude would
vote the Republican ticket have the desire 10 ex-
ercise the privilege OF the franchise stiied within
them. 49,, .,.
In the light then, OF high-rnnded patriotism
scores OF Southern congressman to-day are the
recipients OF stolen goods in the possession of their
cartidcates of election. they patriots they
would encourage their colored neghbors TO read and
think. and exercise the right to vote: no man is
a patriot Till he feels that the Republic Is dear to
him, and he can never have patriouc regard for
his country his State and his Congressional dis
trict till he is allowed to exercise his right as
voter -.

Rome Feb. 2s-In the Chamber Of Deputies to-
day Signor Crisp the Prime Minister explained

on an entire Misrepresentation Of some Of the cir

question docs great wrong To- the students Of the
university in general. and Of the sophomore class
in particular
