fraud was easier ana less Objectionable

goes on to say that "hndsight Is
always better than foresight. and
looking back. we can see that IL
would have been better to kill out the
negroes. or to have submitted to military
rule. than to have made fraud at cleo
tons respectable"
The News and Courier, however, might
well have added that, inasmuch ms the
negroes objected TO being killed, and the
majority Of the South Carolina Whites
objected to being relegated TO the He-
construction system of government, the
whites have taken the sensible course Of
adopting a qualified suffrage system.
