Senator McEnerv on the Fiji
teenth Amendment.
A special to the Washington Post:
from New Orleans gives Senator S.
D. McEnery's position as to the
repeal OF the 18th amendment. In
view OF the proposed curtailment of
the representation in Congress from.
the almost total disfranchisement of
the negro in several Southern States:
by the ''grandfather clause, ''Mr. Nc
Enery's interview is interesting. On
the reaPportionment of representa-
ton in the South he says:
ssSenator Chandler is mistaken in
saying that the Democrats of Con-
gress have never agitated the ques-
ton of the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment. In fact, 1 have done
so myself. 1 believe furthermore
that not single Southern Senator
would object to such move.
GAS to Senator Chambers old
hobby, the basing of representation
upon the vote and not upon the
population, that would never be
passed. The people in a commu-
nifty, whether they have the vote or
not, have to be represented and
reckoned with, and are factor in
the body polite, whether they come

Death of an Eminent Judge.

Death Of an Eminent Judge.
Judge N. H. Righ,or, OF New Or
leans, died a few days ago, after a
long illness. Judge Rightor had
been on the bench in this State for
more than a score of years, and his
death will cause sorrow among his
large number of friends in the legal
fraternity of the State.
1t was ne who rendered the de-
cision. afterwards reversed by the
supreme court, in the celebrated
Orr case, in which the city of New
Orleans was enjoined from distrib-
uting public funds to the different
sectarian eieemosynary institutions
located there. Judge Rightor's de-
cision as reproduced in the news
papers at the time was received with
favor by the Creole population of
the State, the judge having given a
true and complimentary historical
review Of the early settlement of
Louisiana by this chivalrcus people,
who have made LOUISIANA and New
Orleans widely known for their hos
pItality and generosity.

LILLIAN Jewett.

The Boston correspondent of
The New York Journal has the fol-
lowing to say of Miss Lillian
Jewett who has made herself SO
notorious as a negrophile, and who
lately threatened to invade New
Orleans with a negro army and
punish that city for recent attacks
made on the negroes by a mob.
ITO tell the truth, Boston does
not quite know what to make of this
handsome young woman, who,
while posing as a disciple of the
literary school founded by Miss
Amelia Rives, and a confessed be-
lever in the immoral woman as
material for stage production or
romance is also pleased to pose as
the new Harriet Beecher Stowe,
the white negress,' the coming
emancipator of the black race or
any of the other titles which have
been framed for her.
Is she the real thing7' asks Bos-
ton. Does she mean what she saysl
Is she in earnest, or are her motives
tinged with a possible shadow of
financial return7 Is she a Harriet
Beecher-it seems sacreligious to
some to couple her lurid appearances
on the public stage with the name
of the woman whose simple story of
slave family wrongs helped to work
a revolution-or Barnum? Even
Boston is divided on the question.
Some people are inclined to look
on the young lady in the light of a
joke. Others, indignant, say she
is too serious a proposition to be
taken humorously. They declare
and there are black as we'll as white
critics of this kind-that she is
doing vast harm to the black race
both in the South ahd the North. y
