GEORGE TRIES TO REGISTER.
His Idea of the "MaIgermatIOn
of the Races

EDITOR COURIER: Our registrars
could give SON" rich experiences in
their registration of voters,
which, if collected in booklet,
would afford some interesting reading
for this winters nights. For ex-
ample, we have III our village the
great dictionary leader, George Wash
ington, of the African race. What
George doesn't know of the English
language, or of any other language,
is not worth knowing. George hap
pens TO be my man servant at this
time. He can both read and write.
at least. ! know that he can write,
for he frequently signs INV name to
receipts for express matter with a
very small X" though with a ire
mendous flourish to the tail of it.
While the registration was in
progress at our place, ] asked him if
he had registered.
"No sah," he replied; 81 piled,
but was turned down"
"Ah," said |. "csn that be possible?
Under what clause of the require
ments did you apply"
"Pon sab, my foreknowledge of
de Constitution"
"Well Georle, know you were at
home there, and that there was no
question about the Constitution that
could stump YOU"
"Dat's so, sab. if dc questuns
hadn't been unreasonable. an im-
proper ones"
What was asked Won, George; !
don't think that MIR. R-arduu would
pat auy unreasonable question to
you"
"Why, sab, in de fust place, he
arsked me what was my idea Of the
nalgermation of the races"
How did you reply to that
"Why, sab, SEES, seS /, Mr.. Rear
don, if was 10 bet ON one boss in a
boss race, and you was to bet on
another, and arter De race was ober,
it was pruve dat hoff hosses h'louged
to de same man, it would be "a mil
germated race, and WAS not sQuar,
and dat. darfo', all de- bets would be
'clared of; and dnt-dat Was NV
idea of de malgermation 81 de races. =
"Well, | must say that Won answer
e" that question most fully. aud
that Mr.. Reardon could not possibly
refuse Won for the want of proper
reply" What else did be ask you?'
"llis next question, sab. 'sidored
as an impeachment one. He arsked
me what was my understanding of dc
insirivation Of de rasheoshinatlon of
de constitutional proclamation"
"Well, George, that was very
simple question:. What was the
trouble about it,"
"Nun in de world, sab, if | had
only felt 'sposed to answer it, bat
'cluded TO answer it bY pounding tC
him small 'rogratory. So, ! SEES
MIR. Reardon, ses |, what is your ider
of de permiscous subiugatlon of d,
colored poperlation by de constitu.
tional plocklermation:"
"Whst did he say to that"
"Why, sab, what could he SAY, ex
cept dat he was dar to ask uuestnns
and not to answer dem. And so
ups aud tell him dat de whole biznest
was = low down, dirty trick to chea
de colored poperlation out of dar jus
rights. and dat [ tended to hav,
muffin to do wild it. and dat | didn'
keer to be mixed up wild po' whit
trash no how, and so | les picked m,
heels and shook de dus' often nv fee
