1 Legislation tending toward restriction
of the traffic, and the amendment prac-
tically disfranchised the negro. AT any

out of sight directly, being only fit for
| a chamber of horrors, such as used to

and overwhelmed the well considered
preferences of the judicious and the
prudent.

both sides alike, may not get exactly
that form of judicial admonition. but
from the evidence, something equally
severe, would not be out Of keeping
with their deservings.
