THE USUAL FALsEHooDs.

The Birmingham Times finds occasion to get off this, which we should not con- slider worth noticing but for the fact that it comes from a sheet which poses as the organ of its party:
 The Montgomery Advertiser. which for a number of years has been regarded as a mugwump paper. is now seeking to be the leader of the Democratic party in Alabama. By it's tyranny and abuse of Democratic papers in the State which had the temerity and courage to differ from 1t, has to a great extent, succeeded in securing recognition by clique claiming to be the Democratic party and is regard ed as the organ of that clique which is largely In the minority in that party, but by the usurpation of power. aided by The Advertiser, the clique may finally succeed in thwarting the will of the masses in the State, and through fraud declare the new Constitution ratified and disfranchise an innumerable number Of white voters.
 How The Advertiser has been regarded by its enemies Is a matter of profound indifference to it, but that it aspires to be the leader of the Democratic party In Alabama is not true. It has It's own conceptions of Democracy and contends for those conceptions without regard to consequences, and with no aspirations to
 
 surely will, that a majority of Democrats in Alabama agree with its idea of Demo- cracy The Advertiser will be gratified at the result, and will continue in the same course, regardless of who may head the party -.h''
 The insinuation that the Constitution now before the people will be fraudulent ly ratified is one of the stock arguments of The Times. and its kind. and no one need be surprised.
 No man e'er felt the halter draw,
 With good opinion of the law,
 And no advocate and deyotee of politi- cal rascality ever fell under the feet of the honest people without denouncIns them. The Times has so systematically and persistently fought the white peo- pie of Alabama that no one expected 1t to endorse anything which might weaken It's standing as the mouthpiece of the black citizenship of Alabama. It may just now feel that a slight touch of re- spectability has been given it by the ac- ton of certain Democrats, but they will not elevate its standing to any great ex- tent

It Will Be Adopted.
Huntsville Democrat.

t1unISNllie OeHlOCIdl.
 From the tone of the country press which. after all, is the surest index to public opinion in Alabama, the Consti- tuition will have no opposition. While there are some objectionable features in it. as an entirety, it presents so many features far in advance of the present Constitution. as to cause a remarkable unanimity in its support. There seems to be no organized effort against 1t. It is not made a party measure, and each voter is allowed to use his free and un- biased opinion in it's support or retec- tion. This was the wisest course to pur- sue, for the fundamental law should be above mere party dictation. and the ut most freedom of conscience should be permitted in its discussion. We believe the people of Alabama will adopt it by an overwhelming vote; and woe be it to the man, who will attempt to stuff the ballot box after its adoption.

Tn the stress of other matters 1t must not be forgotten that last Sunday, Sept. IS. was the day when the war in South Africa was to close. according to the pro- cIafnat. 5n of Gen Kitchener. After that date all Boers found with arms in their hands were to be treated as outlaws, and fn military affairs that means death The people of England will not forget. how ever. even if Kitchener does. that there are many British prisoners in the hands of the Boers. and that there are likely to be many others. If shooting prisoners Ig to become the rule on one side will not the other be justified in adopting 1t? How long would the civilized world look quietly on a war of that kind? Kitchener has either made himself ridiculous or designs to pursue the tactics of the sav- age.

HON. A. A. WILEY
Has Decided Views About Anarch
 ists

Hon. A. A. Wiley, representative in Congress from this Dist-ict in answer aid for his views about legislation against anarchists said:
 "I think that Congress. immediately upon its assembling, ought to enact a law making 1t treason, punishable by death. for anyone to attempt, or en- courage an attempt, upon the life of the Preside Tt. Vice-President, or any cabi. net officer in the line of presidential succession; and also adopt some vigor- ous measure in the shape of penal leg isIation. to crush out forever the nest in this land of liberty, law and order. should dare to lay impious hands upon the exalted person of the Chief Ma~is- trate of the nation. Those anarchists here, who counsel violence and death ought to feel the hangman's rope; all others ought to be expatriated, and those living in other countries should not be permitted to land upon our shores"

WHAT SUFFRAGE ARE THEY
 CHAMPToNINGp

Win not some one smoke out of the Birmingham combine. whether 1t Is not in favor of unlimited negro suffrage? We ask because the combine opposes every thing that can be done to curtail negro suffrage. They know suffrage can not be restricted on account of race. They ob- Ject to letting In soldiers and their de- scendaLts, and persons having good char acters and understanding the duties ot citizenship. under the temporary plan. and they object to a property or educa- tional qualification under the permanent plan, Objecting to every thing that can he done, proposing no remedy them- selves, they inevitably become champions of negro suffrage.

The Anti-Treat Law.

Mobile Item.
 The antI-treating law has been tried in several of the States from time to time. and in every instance has proven a grand success. and one of the best temperance measures ever adopted. lln- fortunately, however. it has been either succeeded or made imperative by the introducticn n of more radical measures which upon trial were abandoned as im- practicable. The anti-treat system has everything in it's favor. No one can at- tack 1t as curtailing personal liberty or infringing the rights of citizens in any manner-It is entirely without objection. and while curtailing the drink evil, has an economical principle underlying Il that appeals to every intelligent person.

will Cause Little Surprise.

Mobile Register
 Formc- Governor Joseph F. Johnston has come out in a card. announcing his opposition to the new Constitution. The announcement will cause little surprise. as 1t has been preceded by the news that Johnston assisted Gsneral Shelley in the organization on Saturday last of a committee or party having for its ob- feet the defeat of the new Constitution. We do not find in his card or in the an- nouncements of other opponents of the new Constitution any reasonable ground stated for defeating the work done by the Convention, and are forced to con- clude that the movement is wholly po- litical, by men out of office who are seeking some way of getting back again

While many may claim that there are objections to the proposed Constitution, we have so far heard none express, any favor for anything suggested by John ston. Shelly & Co. Indeed, they have failed to show. so far, how they can pos- sibly better the condition of the State by leaving us where we are. Even more, they have so far failed to suggest any thing that will at any time bring relief.
