tax by the State Of Two dollars. and au-
thorizes the counties to impose addi-
tfonai capitation tax of not more than
one dollar. Then is added this section:
''on and after the first day of January,
A ID 1882, every clector shall. in addition
To the foregoing qualifications. be able TO
read any section of the constitution of
this state, or he shall be able to under
stand the same when read 10 him. or give
d reasonable Interpretation thereof.
LoUISIANA'S PLAN.
The Louisiana Constitution goes a step
further than Mississirps II denies the
right to vote to all citizens of the State
urrahIc to read and write, except. first
The owners of $500 taxable property upon
which taxes have been paid, and, second,
mon cntitltd 10 vote on the list day of
January, 1867, under the constitution or
statutes OF any State of the United States
and any son or grandson of any such per.
sor p years OF age at the adoption CT the
constitution.
The object OF the provision in the Missis-
sipri Constitution was clearly to eliminate
from the electorate a large class of litter
ate negroes But the terms of the pro-
vision also operated disfranchisc a
great many whites. This was perhaps the
saving rcature. The United States STU
prelnc Court in Williams ", Mississippi
80 United States Supreme Court Reports,
2l2) held that the cxpedients adopted Tor
the Acknowledgement Of the negroes were
permissible
IN NORTH CAROLINA
The constitutional provision recently
adopted in North Carolina. and which
goes into effect in July, 1892, is very sim
liar 10 that adopted by Louisiana. II
makes ability TO read and write a section
OF the Constitution Il qualification, but
there is a pr0Yiso that this provision shall
not apply to a person entitled to vote
in AIRY State prior to January /. 1867. or
TO the lineal descendant OF such person
who registers before January j, 13cS.
In Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee the
y,oil tax must be paid several months
prior TO the election, in order To entitle
the citizen TO Vote: no one is allowed TO
ray for him. nor is there any official
whose duty il is 10 collect the tax. The
people of these States unite in saying
that this system works perfectly n
excluding negroes from the electorate and
the worst class of whites.
THE GREAT DIFFICULTY.
But the Democratic party of Virginia,
in convention at Norfolk last May.
declared positively against any amend
1nent to the Constitution Which would
work to 3isfranchise any white man. 1t
is not clear how provision in the Con-
stitution making the payment OF capt.
tation tax prerequisite to voting. unless
The grandfather clause, making an
exception Of persons entitled to vote at
the close OF the war, be incorporated.
There is a surprisingly large number of
people who desire to see this captation-
tax feature put into the new Constitu-
ton. Many believe the Constitutional
Convention need do no more in dealing
with the suffrage question than simply
require that in order TO vote the citizen
must have paid his capitation tax six
or twelve ncnths prior to the election

Rufus King. at that time lin 1870 Min
lister to Great Britain. and Mr.. jefferson,
ard between Mn King and Mr. George
C2nning at that time principal secretary
for the English Foreign Affairs office.
Some of these letters which concerned
Professor Bonnycastle land Prof. Robley
Dunsiinsson, slightly, We're public. and
gave the English governments reason for
rejecting Mr.. Jefferson's application for
the cancellation of a bond which Prof
Bonnycastle had given, to be forfeited in
ca Sc he entered the service Of any other
country.
The private letters were on the same
subject and amounted to concedins
quietly what had been refused publicly.
The letters from Mr. jefferson covered

of apparatus for the scientific department
OF the University of Virginia.
