From the New York Evening Post.
 News that the Alabama constitution will be returned as adopted at yester- days election should surprise nobody. There was no little opposition to the new instrument among Democratic whites and almost all Republicans, white as we'll as black were against 1t. but the count of the ballots was generally controlled by these who favored the change, and as a resident of the state recently remarked Alabama people are not such fools as to go to the trouble of making a new | constitution, and then not Iass It." The suffrage provisions thus adopted would disfranchise most blacks and many poor
 whites if impartially applied, but, of
 course 1t is expected that in practice
 every "Caucasian' will be allowed to vote. Alabama is the fifth state to make 1 changes of this sort in its constitution,
 Mississippi Louisiana, South Carolina,
 and North Carolina being its predecessors | and the list will soon be heightened by
 the addition of Virginia At present no | other state seems in a mood to meddle | with the question, and there are only l two or three where the negro population
 is large enough to excuse agitation of it.

 Huntsville Mercury: Now that the ratification of the new constitution is an assured fact, congratulations are in order. It was contest for good gov ernment though white supremacy and the white man won. The majority will not be so much as was expected by the enthusiastic Democracy; it will be be- tween 25 900 and 5000 votes, but that an- swers the purpose splendidiy. Taking into consideration the opposition of the white men who tried to defeat their white brother with negro votes 1t was splendid majority Under the new con stitution there will be no more dark days at elections The white men will control the affairs of government without fear of having their votes killed by those of
 
 nation devoutly to be wished.
 Anniston Hot Blast: The voters of Alabama, by a majority that is most creditable, have put their condemnation upon the impure methods that have been necessarily in vogue in Alabama politics since the war. The ignorant. vicious and purchasable negro Is elimi- mated from future political contests, and will no longer have the balance of power in any county in the state. One can readily see the vast amount of good that will result. The superior Anglo Saxon race are now in a position to put up and elect the best men for all positions This had gotten to be practically impossible under the looseness and perverseness of our political affiliations As theft at the ballot boxes is no longer necessary public opinion will demand purity and honesty there.
 Selma Times: In few weeks we will be working out our destiny under this new organic law which some of it's ardent advocates profess to believe would be panacea for all the political and material ills with which the people of Alabama are or will be afflicted, and by some who opposed it as just the reverse. A great many of these who opposed 1t did it from con- 8. 'entious motives, exercising their own judgment as to the best interests of all after a careful study of the new !nstru- ment. A great many who favored 1t did the same thing. It was simply a differ ence of opinion. Of course there were | those on both sides who were not actuat- | ed in their advocacy pro and con by the same disinterested motives, but 1t is best now that the question is settled, to let | that rest in oblivion. If there are any | sores left let them be healed over as l soon as possible, and let us unite the ef- | forts of every citizen to make our state l nrosperous. If the new organic law works | to our benefit, it is well and good. and Underwood will have no sincerer congrat- ulator than Shelley. Should 1t prove the reverse. 1t would be an error of judgment | and Knox would be found side by side | with Johnson in the endeavor to correct

ALAsAMA's NEW CONSTITUTION

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Alabama yesterday voted upon the new constitution which will eliminate the ne- gro vote in that state. The campaign which thus closed has been the nearest thing to a closely contested state elec- ton Alabama has had in years. Up to the last moment the ratificationists and the anti-ratificationists each claimed a majority. The chief fear of the former was that the negro vote might assist the opposition to defeat disfranchisement The opposition, however, was not due to the elimination of the negro as a voter, but to the fear that the same clauses might disfranchise illiterate whites.
 Apart from the chief issue of the suf- frage there are a number of amendments in the new constitution which may really prove benefit. Elections will be at long CT intervals the terms of state officers being increased from two to four years No franchises can be granted by mu- nicipalities for more than 30 years. Each county will practically get back the poll taxes paid by 1t for school purposes so that the free school system will be benefited. Stranger things have happened than that this clause should reverse the wrong which melted the farmers to draft the new instrument.
