Lawyer.
Washington, D. c., April 6, 1900.
Hon. Marion Butler, U. S. s..
Senate Chamber.
Dear Senator: In answer to your
request for my opinion as to the ccnsti-
tutionality OF the fifth section of the
proposed constitution for the State of
North Carolina, | must compare the
language of the Fifteenth Amendment
of the Constitution of the United
States with the proposed provision in
the constitution of North Carolina.
The Fifteenth Amendment reads as
follows:
Section I. The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be de.
or by any State on account OF
race, color or previous condition oi
servitrde.
Section 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by ap
propriate legislation.
The Fifth Section of the proposed
constitution for North Carolina reads
as follows:
Section 5. No male person who wal
on January list, 1867, or at any tim
prior therto, entitled to vote under th
laws of any State in the United State
wherein he then resided, and no linea
descendant of any such person shall b
denied the right to register and vot
at any election in this State by reason
of his failure to possess the education
al qualifications prescribed in Sectio
of this article: provided, he sha1
have registered in accordance with tn
terms of this section prior to Decembe
], 1905
1t will be seen that under the FIJI
teenth Amendment a State may max
an educational, property or any 9th,
reasonable qualification conditio
precedent to the right to vote, with IL
single exception that it cannot deny (
lbridge such right on account of rae
color or previous condition of serv

the State has the power to prescril
might exclude more whites than black
or more blacks than whites, but SUI

IL il were not based on race, color
previous condition of servitude.
The proposed constitution puts
force the laws of January, 1867, so
as illiterate black men are concerne
and so far as illiterate white men w
were voters in 1867 and their descen
ants are concerned. 1t is true that t
proposed constitution avoids denyi
TO illiterate black men the right
vote on account of the color, but acco
plishes the same thing by the adopt
of the laws of 1867, which denied
right TO vote to black men on I
ground of color.
The proposed constitution is
same as it would be if it denied in
