DIsFRANCHIsING THE NEGRO.

The proposition to hold constitutional
convention In the State of Louisiana FOR
the avowed purpose Of DISTINGUISHING the
great hulk Of the negro voters of that
state was carried by a large majority.
The Populists combined with the colored
Republicans in opposition TO the conVeh-
tion but nearly all the white Republicans
either combined with the Democrats or
supported the Democratic candidates Tor
delegates in order TO get rid OF the negro
voters. A light vote was polled and very
few OF the negroes took the trouble to cast
a ballot. only about ten per cent. OF them
in New Orleans having gone 10 the polls
This Is a bold stroke. The New Orleans
States in an editorial article printed on
Monday last. the day before the election
made bold the declaration that II was ao-
solutely necessary to the peace and good
government OF Louisiana that the negro
he disfranchised. III this convention Is
defeated" said the States. "the rabbie
will continue TO control or held the bal
ance Of power in our politics"
The negro has for years been practically
disfranchised in Mississippi and more
recently in South Carolina. and now they
propose TO disfranchise him in Louisiana.
Yet the Northern people look on complac-
emily. IL not approvingy.

Burke was deranged when he wrote II.
II is unqestionably written In different

him in ali his other works But his
transcendant genius has blazed out no
where so splendidly as In that wonderful
essay. The atrocities OF the French
Revolution had shocked him to the bot

him question whether the liberal doctrines
for which he had always contended were
really fitted for mankind. He wrote.

yexation of spirit. In these pages the
reader will see nothing but the working
OF a mind STEPPED in philosophy and
anxious only for the good of mankind.
Finally we commend TO all of our
young men that they read deeply and
ponder on the writings OF Edmund
Burke. They will not receive such en-

such noble and elevating lessons in the
