A few days since a vessel landed

to say that not one of these can read
or write or speak the english Lao
guage, or understands the 6rst prin-
ciples of our governmental system;
indeed we doubt if many of them
could tell us who is the President of
the United States. And yet it il safe
to say that every male among that
four hundred from eighteen years of
age up will vote in our next cleo
tons. This is but a single case; and
If it we're but a single case the mat
ter would not be 90 bad. The iniec-
tion Of even four hundred ignorant
foreign votes into onr elections would
not be sufficient to deba~a ar TO
~measurably Influence ii elections
But there are dozens of such cases
every year; and if that class of peo-
pie do not always come in ship loads
they come by tramping Or on steam
boats or railways, aud thus thou

present laws, in Our elections, and
they are in number sufficient to con-
stitute q tremendous force for evil 10

The Suffrage Amendment

As we anticipated, the Repubh'
cans and negroes 10 this State are
resolved to make a big fight against
the suffrage amendment, and any
ballot box law that is calculated to
eliminate the ignorant and vicious
paupers from our elections. Judge
Tayloy Beattie and Gen. W. j..
Behan, two of the chief white leaders
of the Republican party, have issued
an edict condemning the amendment
aud calling upon the Republicans to
vote against it. Thus we 6od that
all the hue and cry Of the Republi-
cans, white and black, for free and
fair and honest elections, for the
purity of the ballot box, ETC., has
been the veriest bosh, and that all
they meant was that everything
with two legs, out side ofthe peniten'
tiary, be he the most brutal and
ignorant negro or white vagabound
Or freshly imported pauper or escaD.
ed convict from Europe, shall be
permitted to exercise the franchise
in Louisiana and influence our elec-
tons, And there is another element
hostile to the amendment. and that
is the ward heelers and strikers,
whose bread and butter is in politics
and who, 10 soon as the franchise is
expurgated and corruption banished
from our elections will be left with
out a vocation. Indeed, look where
we may, it will be found that oppo-
silion to the suffrage amendment and
ballot reform is inspired by sinister
motives, emanstes from the very
elements it is desired to eliminate
from the control o. our elections.
Under the amendment and q
sound ballot law no man worthy to
vote. fit to exercise the right of a
freeman and to walk among men,
will be deprived of any privilege.
4 man a never grow too old to
master enough learning to meet the
educational qualification required;
and any such man, if he does not

years accumulate the amount Of

:: # men Of course wlqo will never
learn TO read, and who are too shift
Jess to save Bp a few hundred dollars;
and we shall be frank enough to say
unequivoeally that it is the declared
and specific purpose of the amend
ment and a ballot reform law to
eliminate this class of ignoramuses
and shiftless human beings from the
polls. They may be men whom for.
tune has dealt hardly with; but If
they have not pride enough of char
aeter, if they do not sufficiently value
the right of the franchise to secure
the little education or the little
property that will entitle them to
exercise hal inestimable privilege
and to feel that 10 their brogans
there stands a free American citizen
