NEW ORLEANS. LA. January O.
fSpecial.)-The people Of the South re-
gard the closing of the post-off1ce at In
dianola as being without sufficient provo
cation and as a brutal exercise Of ques-
tionable authority, if not a direct and
arbitrary act Of official lawlessness. The
right of the people to assemble and set
forth their grievances and to request the
resigna ton of undesirable officials. is a
right beyond any power of the President
to punish: so long a no overt act of law

To punish the people for the exercise
of their plain constitutional rights by
an act OF partisan revenge. which in

MAY PEER|P|ET|UA7'E IT,
Constitution to Be Amended
to Make Understanding
Clause Permanent.

AS iorecasted by the Dispatch some
months ago. 1t is altogether probable
that a constitutional amendment. will be
offered at this session of the General
Assembly, the purpose of which will be
to so change the suffrage article as to
make the operation Of the understanding
clause permanent.
Such an amendment has not yet been
drawn, or if it has this fact cannot be
sascertained,, but 1t is known that the
sentiment OF the members is being sound
ed on the subject. and there is strong
5proba ability that the amendmen will be
offered Since the amendment must be
pa ssed by two General Assemblies, and
then ratified by vote Of the people, there
will be ample time to consider it.
The advocates of the amendment cons
tend that the registration last fall has
given. the State a white electorate and
reduced y the political power of the ne
groes to the minimum; and now that the
benefits OF the eliHtnsa: ton OF the negro
are beginning to. be apparent, it is time
to perpetpate these long desired scondl-
tions. It has been shown. they contend.
that White voters have nothing to fear,
and that the negroes who are now Intel
