embodied in their constitution an educs-
tonal qualification for suffrage and fur
Their, because Mr.. Pritchard had admitted
there were fifty thousand negroes in North
Carolina who could read and consequent ly,

against the negroes Mr.. Money said he
did not believe the negro could be edu-
Gated to such a condition as would enable
him to carry on such government as

eminent There was a disposition to
yield here in congress TOO much TO the e2-
ecutive and to relax that vigilance wAi2h
