An Editorial in The New York Times on the Constitutional Convention.


 A number of members of the Con- Stitutional Convention will recall Dr. J. c. Bagler of The New York Times, \ who spent some days here last week, Here is an editorial article from that paper which is from his pen:
 The attitude of the members of the Constitutional Convention now is ses- sion in Montgomery is daily growing I1ore thoughtful and conservative. Of the one hundred and fifty delegates it Is probable that not more than fifteen at the most are committed to the plan locally known as taking the bull by the horns" which in this connection Is understood to mean disregarding the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend ments to the Federal Constitution, ldlSL franchising the qegro and defying the authority of Congress to compel re- spect for the prbvisionss of. the organic law of the Republic. Those who hold these extreme views are noty c likfbllsly, representatives of the counties included In what Is known as the black belt. They are from the sparselYpghettled mountain districts where the negro is almost unknown. and where he does not and never did execrise any political influence. Those who know most about l the negro and have had most eXperi- enee in dealing with him hold no such views. The spirit of the Convention is | not reflected in the more or less revo- | lutionary measures proposed by these extremists. The feeling prevails that | in this critical period in the history of the State it Is well to follow the sage advice of Josh Billings, who suggested to those moved to take the bull by the | horns to stop and consider whether it l were not better to take him by the tail | instead. since one can hold on just as well and let go a great deal easier. There is no disposition among the thoughtful and experienced statesmen in the membership of the Alabama l Constitutional Convention, and they are in an overwhelming majority, to put the State in a position to invite Federal interference. Much as they | disapprove the Fifteenth Amendment | they recognize the fact that 1t is the supreme law of the land. and that 1t | would be the duty of Congress to take measures to compel a respect for it's provisions. should they be violated. At the same time 1t is necessary to the welfare of the State and the safetyIef the rights of property that the ignor- ant and mercenary black vote shall be l restricted, within the least limits prac- ticable. that this shall be done by Con Institutional means, and that there shall be no further excuse for the dishonest epxedients which have been tolerated as evils of less magnRu1e than the re- covery by the negro of the political power secured by his numerical super iority in a large part of the South if permitted to register the vote and have lis ballots counted. There is also a strong disinclination to disfranchIse any white man. on the ground that the white race has shown the capacity for self government, which the black race has not. The pledge exacted by

the Democratic primaries of the deie-
 kates chosen to the Constitutionai
 Convention renders 1t necessary that
 they shall so frame the new law as lH

 gro, at least during the life of the pres
 ent generation of white illiterates, but
 to do this in a way which will not

 eral Constitution. The best legal tai

Inat the vast majority of the negroes m the cotton States are not now qua!iIieu Io vote intelligently and to use the oan- gerous power of the ballot Tn the man aaement of State or local affairs IS 2 fact which does not admit of intelligent discussion. So long as they remain a potential factor in Southern politics so long will the whites consider 1t neces- sary to hoIdlifl5em in more or less sup pression and to discourage weil-dlrect- ed efforts to Simprove the condition oI the black race for fear it will make the negro more dangerous than ne is now

WHAT or ITr

In a dispatch from Columbia, s. G. to The New York Sun we find this paragraph:a
 The friends of William Jennings Byran ara deeply concerned about the deelafa- ffon made by Senator McLaurin Tn ms speech at Newberry, that Bryan Wouio not vote for Crisp of Georgia for speaker when Bryan was a member or the House of Representatives because Crisp hao been Confederate soldier.
 Why Mir. Bryan's friends should be .deeply concerned on the subject is not apparent. That he refused to votS for Mir. Crisp, and that he refused for the reason given, are matters of record, often referred in days gone by. and we fail to see why people should deny it, or concern themselves so seriously about 1t.
 Nor can we see why the matter should be of any importance now, or at any future time. Mir. Bryan is not before the public and will not be any more. What he thought or did while tn Congress or subsequently is of no Interest to the American people, and ii his friends are very soiicftous about him they will let him rest in the peace ful obscurity in which he forced him. self.

GOV. sAMFoRD's DEATH.
More Tributes to His Life ana HIS
 Character.

The loss to the State is great. NO man has ever occupied the position or chief executive who has more fuly gained the confidence of the people' During the short period In wn1cn he was at the head of the administrator the State affairs. Governor Samford showed himself a man of rare 1udg- ment and decision, and of unfalteripg devotion to auty. Duty was the guid- ing star of his life, and 1t Is not to De wondered at that he felt deeply the responsibilities of office To him the welfare and interests of the people of Alabama were above every earthly consideration.
 That the love and devotion that he gave the State were returned by its people is shown by the sorrow that now rests upon Alabama. No perfume tory grief is this, but the mourning or a people for a leader whom they trust ed and a man whom they loved.
 Sympathy for the stricken family will be universal, but their grief should be assuaged by the knowledge that the sunset of the life that has gone out was made glorious by the reduction of good deeds, and by the peace of conscience void of offense towards God and man. The pathway of his existence became brighter and brighter until 1t was lost in the light that surrounds the throne of the Most High.-Mobile Herald,

His Pure Private Life.

What Governor Samford's public ca- reer has been every intelligent citizen of Lee County, aye of Alabama, knows. That there never was a purer minded official, a more conscientious execu- tive officer in the State is a matter of history.
 l. It is in his private life where the lovely traits of his grand nature came out and showed themselves to their greatest advantages. Hampered as he was by his physical ailments, he was ever ready to extend helping hand with words of loving sympathy to the suffering.
 His family life was the sweetest and purest of any man, on whom, like him self, the public had such urgent and constant deTRa sds. His love fer his wife and children was the comment of all, and the many personal friends which he leaves testify to the loving qualities of his character.
 He was true ,etaunch friend; ever ready with advice and help in case ot need.
 He possessed wonderful conversation al powers, and it was almost impossible to be for any length of time under the influence of his magnetic voice without being imbued with a feeling of restfu conviction: There is leader While the State mourns the loss oi Governor Sanford, Opelika weeps witt the family.-Opelika Post.

A TOUGH OFFICIAL.

There is something in connection with the Pennsylvania Legislature that " fail to understand, and that is that tEere should be a Republican Speaker of whom a Republican newspaper should speak as The Philadelphia Press thus alludes to Speaker Marshall:
 Not once only but many times during the session has SpedKer Marshall ais played has moral unnIness for me deIl- cate and responsible position or preslolns officer of a delibeTatiVe Dody. 1T the ma aiortty of members had the least seiL- respect the repe ated outrdges or the speaker would not be toIerated; ne would be taken out OI the chalf Wnlcn ne uls, graces anu the State anu the Party wodiu pe saveu the shame anu humiliation nov put upon them.
 True, The Pittsburg Post declares that Marshall was elected "by the most infamous and corrupt methods" but The Post Is a Democratic newspaper and would naturally talk in that way. When The Press, however, tries to make us believe that this Speaker dis graces the Republican party of Penn sylvania, and that it feels shame and humiliation over his conduct, or over anything else, 1t rather strains our intellect. We have so long looked on Pennsylvania Republicanism as the very superlative of political corruption and rascality that we are not up to the job of understanding what man. ner of man 1t is who can disgrace it. He must be a prodigy.

NO NEED TO DODGE.

Referring to the advice of The Gov ington Enterprise to the Constitutional Convention to pass such ordinances as twill absolutely purify politics in Ala bama" The Chattanooga Times says:
 It is wonderful with what unanimity this sentiment is being uttered Dy tae Alabama press, indicating with absolute ana unequivocal cerLaInty that the poo- pie of the South, the non-orftce-seek.ng ng classes, are getting tired or boss an1 ring rule, perpeluated and made possiUle only through the degradation or the bal lot box ana the dehlemens or pubic euf- frage. The same ou.cry IS going to strike Tennessee ana that at no distant uay.
 There is no doubt that the people of Alabama are weary of the election methods which have prevailed in almost every section of the State, and that they will welcome any practical ble plan of relief. Just what plan will be settled on by the convention is not yet apparent, but it should be as simple as possible. fair in it's working and certain in its results. The people will endorse it.

Should Be an Inspiration.

The life of Governor Sanford should be an inspiration to every young man in the State. He came to Alabama when only two yesrs old and was not permitted to obtain a college education. but went to the front in the sixties as a lieutenant of infantry. When the war was ended he was not dishearten- ed and will to be content with only a small mead of success, but went to work with a will and in a few years became a practicing lawyer of much ability and a man esteemed for Eis godly character. Hardships and toll could not daunt the spirit of this brave man. He studied harder as e grew in1nfiuence and practice and the more he stiuded the greater became his re- wards. He became recognized In church and State affairs as man who could be trusted and as he today lies cold in deaths embrace his family and friends have the great comfort or Knowing that his life was benedicton and a blessing to all who know him or read of his character.
 The honors that are paid his remslns are but incidents in the closing of great mans career and the real honor that is hIs is contained in the simple sentence, "He was an honest, god-y man."
 Every young man in Alabama 1hould study the career of this man whose life has ben a Christian one, yet filled with political honors, and he should bear in mind that the foundation ut his whole life was laid on the eternal principles of the meek and lowly Savior. Gazette.

Trihute From Georgia.

Georgia mingles her tears with those of Alabama over the death of Govern or Sanford. Georgia and Alabama are very near to each other and the grief of one is the grief of the other. Governor Sanford was Georgian by birth, although his parents moved to Alabama when he was quite young,
 In all is official positions the rugged honesty, the broad-minded patriotism and the statesmanship of the man were a leading characteristic. He was true to himself and was false to no man. He was a great minded and great hearted man, and was untaltering in his devotion to those principles which he conceived to be just and right. He was an honest. high minded Christian gentleman and as such his history will be written. As Governor of Alabama, which office he entered last December. he had already demon- strated his great ability to give the State one of the best administrations in it's history, and those who cast their votes for him have no cause to regret

|. His conduct of the office was with out subserviency, and yet with heed to the best thought presented to him; he neither flattered nor courted Hatte- ", and was guided at all times by the patriotic determira.io ion to serve unde- viatingly the best interests of his peo- pie.
 = Personally endowed with rare talents q intellect and a charm of manner that prepossessed men in his favor, he a'to inspired all who approached him with respect for the greatness of soul. He was modest, yet ready to do his bart; unassuming, not boasttul; medi- tative yet not taciturn; unyielding in AE4nciple, and his life, both public and private. was pure, and devoid of blame.
 We mourn the loss of such man taken in the prime of life, but we would be ungrateful not to acknowledge and be thankful that we have had in him a model citizen whose example-an too brief-has been luminous and will be studied to advantage by succeeding enerations.-M0bile Register.

A Distinct Loss.

The death of Governor w. J. Sam ford is a distinct loss to the State and people of Alabama of large propor- tions. He was prudent. conservative courageous statesman, peculiarly adapted to safely steer his state through the crisis now upon that great commonwealth. He was certain had he lived, of reelection, and sure to give Alabama a government resembling in vigor and general fitness the adminls- tration of Houston, who rescued his State from the impending ruin that carpetbaggery had almost completed. . our sister State has the sympathy Of all the people of Tennessee in her civ lc bereavement .-Chattanog Times.
