VIRGINIA AND THE NEGRO.

A leading Virginian in late letter
to the New York Evening Post is
frank enough TO say:
We have abandoned manhood suf-
frage in Virginia and adopted prop
erty qualification because few negroes
have property; a poll tax qualification
because few negroes will pay the tax;
and educational qualification, because
few negroes of voting age are educat-
ed. For the lawless and violent meth
DDS of foiling the dreadful conse-
quences of the reconstruction amend
ments, we have substituted this law
full and peaceful method.
This is an admission that because a
man is black, he must have certain re-
strictions placed upon him, and the
whites adopt this method in lieu of
shooGngs, whippings, cabin burnings
and other cutragcs that the negro has
( been heir to in Virginia. Ii this is not
abridging the right to vote by reason
of his race color, il is difficult 10 see
what would be violation of the fif-
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States. According to
/ the same gentleman, the state of Vir-
ginia is doing wonderful things for the
n negro. He says:
Virginia annually pays negro school
teachers alone, educated at the ex-
pense of her white citizens, fourteen
times more than the total amount Of
property taxes paid by the whole ne
gro race for school purposes; and il
lctually costs the state nearly as much
10 restrain and care for the criminals
of the black race as that race pays il
taxes for all purposes. Besides edu
eating the negroes, white Virginians
provide them with asylums and othe
charitable institutions; give them EN-
ployment without discrimination worl
side by side with them in the fields
factories and shops; do everything TO
= them that sympathy and philanthrop,
can suggest and only draw the lin,
of exclusion and repression when i
comes to questions of social and DC
,litical equality.
But this does not furnish any reas
on why Virginia should be given it
present representation in congress
when that IS based on the number G
citizens whose right to vote is nc
abridged. The day is coming whe
some southern states will suffer frol
just what Virginia is doing to disfral
chise the colored vote.
