When / was a child living in one
of the Atlantic seaboard States,
| lived where there were great
numbers of negroes, and | remcm-
Der many of their old fears and
superstitions. The present condi-
ton of Louisiana brings very forci-
bly, one of the greatest fears that
those people had. They had the
opportunity of learning the Chris
tian religion and were taught the
general outline of the ten COM
mandments. Of course they had
an idea of heaven and hell, and be-
Ileved the one was given as a re-
ward for an upright Christian life,
and a failure of faith and CONVEX
sion consigned one to the other.
But there was a third state for
these poor creatures, and this gave
them more nneasiness than hell, as
they could more easily realize the
condition. My recollection is that
these people taught their children
that if they destroyed their parents,
stole property, murdered or were
very irreligious, they would be
sent to hell when they died, but if
they would not work for their mas
tiers, ran away, or were impudent,
they would be sent to Louisiana,
which they considered much worse
than hell. These people hadn't
seen it under Foster government,
or it would not have required any
faith.

The question now worrying the
administration Democrats is how
to apparently answer the demand
of the honest men in their rants
for Constitutional Convention
that will give us government of
honesty, and at the same time leave
them with a loophole through which
they can steal all the Offices they
want. They would be perfectly
willing for an unlimited convention
if they were not afraid that it
would limit their opportunities for
practicing their old trade of steal
ing everything in sight worth car
rying of.

Cleveland from the White House
