The Movement for Their Rights Spreading
Among the Southern Black Men.
GREENvIILE. Miss, Dec. 21-There
large gathering of the leading ne
groes Of this section in st. Jacobs hall
last night to consider their suffrage quail
ificatIOns under the new drastic constitu-
ton Of Mississippi. A permanent organ
ization was effected for the purpose Of
qualifying the colored men through bout
the country they may exercise the
right to vote
The following resolution introduced
by Milford ii. Smith, perhaps the ablest
cOl0red lawyer in Mississippi, was unan-
imously adopted
Whereas, We appreciate the benefits
Of our free school system, which is
largely dependent upon the revenue de-
rived from the poll taxes collected, and
are anxious to see the school term ex-
tended to eight months in each year
throughout the state and the salary of
teachers raised to such a sum as to com
mand the services of the very best talent;
and,
Whereas, Our property rights as we'll
our lives and liberties are in the hands
of the courts which administer the laws
Of our state; and,
Whereas, we should be permitted to
serve upon the juries which administer
the criminal laws, at least but are wholly
eliminated from such service because it
is claimed that we are not qualified IN
der the constitution; and,
Whereat, We are native born. loyal
citizens of the state of Mississippi and Of
the United States of America, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we organize ourselves
into a permanent organization, which
shall be known as the Loyal League of
Qualified electors, under the new consti-
tuition of the state Of Mississippi which
organization will receive no enc TO mem
bership who is not a qualified elector,
and our purpose shall be to qualify and
organize all other eligible members Of
our race throughout this country.

I hope Governor Morrill, will do and that
Is retain the present fish commissioner
1t is true he WAS appointed
by the Populists, but he is a good, clean
man, and well fitted for the place. He
has made good commissioner and
should be retained. He has taken an in

much good, although hampered by poor
