sentence: In less than twenty years from

states were not only in possession Of all
the rights of manhood and citizenship
but they were also in control of the legis-
latures of many of the Southern States and
were making laws which white men are
still bound to obey. Is this fact? J.C.L.
1t is fact; that is, the legislatures of
several States were controlled by the
negro vote, and laws were enacted which
still govern white persons, unless they
have been repealed. In 1873 the 1egis-
