A SIGNIFICANT FACT.

One significant fact in this connec-
tion deserves notice, as it should not
fail of recognition in the present crisis.
On the question Of striking out the
disfranchising clauses and adopting
the rest of the Constitution, about
120, 900 whites voted aye and about 6S,-
900 negroes voted no. l uss round
numbers, and think them substantial
ly correct. To state it in another form,
1901 900 whites voted to invest the ne
groes with political rights equal to
their own, and $1,000 negroes voted to
exclude the whites practically from
participating in the government of
the State.
I will add that at the election voted
in favor of striking out the objection
able clauses, and on the question OF
adopting the residue of the instrument
l voted in the negative-a vote which
L have never regretted. Apologizing
| for the length of my letter. but believ'
ing that 1 have stated nothing which
is without interest to you and others,
l am, very truly your friend,
