ca the following excellent explanation
of his vote:

law, debauch the young men of the
town and control municipal affairs to
the detrlment of the peopl..
20. The act is limited to expire June

saloon and enables the people to con

The Herald offers this in good faith,
as a practical and proper solution OF
the negro problem. Let the Federal gov
eminent, at it's own expense, export
from the South all the negroes who are
in any way dissatisfied from any cause
whatsoever, and scatter them IN picked
localities in the North where they Will
be most welcome. Then let the North
let the negroes who prefer to live IN
the South, alone, and let them deal
with those they have among them,
socially and politically. as they please.
Let the government appropriate
million or more dollars for this pur-
pose. and then let the Negro work out
his own destiny among the people who
treat him best, and with whom he
elects to cast his lot. That, it seems
to us, would settle the question for the
time at least, and would take from il
for all time to come that sectional
feature which is really its most diff
cult one.

business after dark, when the dispen-

even from the local dispeusary. and
attempt to retail it in the night time.
We need not think that he will avoid or
fear Columbia. He will be here. al

best way to deter him Is to make the

The American has been making a
good strong fight for law enforcement
in Nashville. but not for any new
temperance legislation. None of the
Nashville papers have made fight or
given any aid to the Adams law, or
any of the temperance laws upon the
statute DOCKS. You never hear from
either of the Nashville papers upon the
temperance question: until some effort
is being made to regulate or restrict
or control the liquor traffic: then they
find objection to the particular mode
or manner proposed. The best that
has ever been gotten from any of them
Is the fight the American has made
against the Sunday saloon. But for
six lays in the week the open saloon
with it's conviviality and sociability
it's gambling attachment and asslgna-
ton rooms for meu and women, seems
good enough for them. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that they are one
and all against the Columbia Dis
pensary bill. 1t is not to be wondered
at. in the least, that they permit
Senator White to interview himself
daily through their columns. And
there is yet another reason why they
do this. They want to kill the Ids
pensary idea" before it spreads. Nash
Vile retail and wholesale liquor dealers
are tremb bling in their boots. in fear OF
a general bill for all towns in the state,
over five thousand. Some of the lead
ing politicians of Nashville, and many
of the leading temperance men Of
Nashville have publicly expressed
themselves in favor of the dispensary
system for that city; and it is the fear
Ut that that is disturbing the liquor
circles OF Nashville. 1t is not any
overween1ng interest they take in
Columbia, that they would save us
from ourselves. 1t is the fear that
Columbia has discovered a better thing
than the saloons, and that the saloons
of that sin cursed city must give way
before that better thing. The dis
pensary idea, il agitated, would carry
in Nashville right now because any
man with three grains of common
sense would know at the very state
ment of the case, that ten dispensaries
in Nashville would create fewer
quarrels. provoke fewer murders, make
fewer loafers, manufacture fewer
drunkards, than the two hundred and
oad saloon dives of that city. And
the revenue therefrom, had better go
into the pockets of the tax payers, or
towards public improvements, than
into the sin holes OF corruption where
1t now finds Its way.

REDIsTRICTING BILLS.

| Bills nave been lntrOluceu III INC
/ legislature, for several counties in the
state, redIstricting the counties and
making the districts larger and fewer,
and cutting down the number of mag
Istrates generally. about half.
We mention this for the people OF
Maury to think about. and if they
pleafe, 10 act upon. 1t seems to us
that such law would have some good
results. The magistrates themselves.
we believe, will admit, that the
County Court is unwieldy and too
large. The objection il not SO much
to the men, as TO their numbers.
They are in each others way. Take
the same men, aud half of them could
Ind would attend to the business bet
ter. What is the use then of paying
fifty men to do the work that twenty
five could do betterH
Another advantage would be the
effect it would have on our elections
In redistrlcting other counties they
are making every district large enough
to require the Dortch ballot. The
number of voting places need not
be reduced at all. Every man could
vote Just where he votes now. The
only difference would be that he would
vote in a booth, as we do here in CO.
lumbia, and be required to marx his
own ballot.
The effect of that method has been to
reduce the negro vote In Columbia to
less than half of what it was. 1t would
reduce that vote even more in the
country, because the negroes OF the
c )untry..are not, as class, as we'll
educated as those in the town, and be-
sides do not study politics as closely.
Another effect of that method has
been to drive the boodler and his wad
out of Columbia to the country dis
tricts. In the country districts the
heeler at the polls pays a mans poll
tax. arms him to the polls, hands him
a TICKET and sees that that ticket goes
into the ballot box. Then the bride
giver transfers the price of that cor
rupted vote from his own dirty hands
into the dirty hands of the bride taker.
Under the Dortch law-and the
Dortchslaw, mind you, would prevail
all over the county under the new
law-the boodler's occupation would
be practically gone. He would
not be willing to pay a man poll
tax for him. and then pay him for
his vote, and then allow him to 20 off
into booth by himself and mark his
own ballot and vote as he pleases.
He would not trust him that far. He
could not trust him that far. For
man who will sell his vote cannot be
trusted at all.
On the whole this new Legislation
appears to be in the right direction
Aud if 1t is a good thinp, why not
have it for this county? And II the
people want it, they have yet time to
ask for it.
We should.like to hear some expires
sion from the people. Not lengthy
arguments, but a mere expression OF
personal opinions as to. how the propo
sition strikes you. Drop the Herald
lust few lines on the subject, and II
the consensus of opinion is for it, let's
organize..a at once and get 1t.
