TAKING OATH. |
The Tribdne has zea'onsly advo |
cated the pending reform in regis
tration, hut it is always willing to
hear the other side, especially from
so sound and conservative a Demo
crat as Judge Harris. We have
read his card with attention and in
terest, for it is written in the spirit
of fair criticism, and has more force |
than the frivolous objections that
are being used to prejudice the bill.
We do not think Judge Harris
lays any too much emphasis on the
sanctity of an oath, but we do not
see that his c inclusion follows from
that premise *'he citizen finds that [
an oath meets him at the threshold
of every important function of gov '
ernment. He takes an oath on in- '
duction into office. He eannot take
his seat in the legislative without
swearing to support tne constitution
of the State and the United States,
and to vote for the best interest of |
the people on all questions that
come before him. The public ser
vant must take oath before he can
serve; why then should not the citi
zen in the sovereign capacity of- an ,
elector take oath before exercising
the right of suffrage, which is he
highest function of civil govern- i
nieut? The beginning of free gov- '
ernment is at the ballot box; there
is the source of all power aud au- i
thority, and there the public ser- |
vant is'created. There begins the
good or evil, and there we should
plant the first bulwark against cor
ruption.
THE ATLANTA HERALD.
The failure of the Atlanta Herald
is to be regretted. It was one of,
the brightest and best afternoon pa-i
pers in the South and its editor, Mr. ;
Josiah Carter, is an experienced
newspaper man of energy and good
judgment. His trouble seems to
have been the result of too much
enterprise. In ordinary years, the
efforts which the Herald has lately
put forth would have put the paper
on a wave of prosperity, but busi-1
news was not in a condit : on to re
spond to unusual demands, and Mr.
Carter’s energy has not met the re
ward which it won five years ago on
the Journal.
We hope be may be able to re
sume.
The joint committee on the lunat
ic asylum wi’l recommend an appro
priation of $120,000 for increasing
the accommodations at the asylum.
This money is for a new building
for negro inmates, and remodelling
and repairing the present depart
ments for the negroes so as to fit
them up for white male patients.
This is not as large as the amount
asked for the purpose, tut a judi
cious expediture of. it will make the
accommodations at the asylum ade
quate for all legitimate demands.
Judgs Sam Harris, of the Coweta
I
Circuit, who presided at the trial of
the Carroll county white ''ape, re
cently pardoned, makes a very strong
defense of the Governor’s action,
which has been the subject of some
criticism. The Judge thinks the
the Governor did right in granting
the pardon, which was asked for by
practically all the citizens of Carroll
county.
A CARD PROM JUDGE HARRIS-
Section 1276 of the code of Georgia
gives the qualification of a voter in the
State of Georgia; among them is the re
quirement that rbe voter shall have paid
all taxes since 1877 —this is not substan
tailiy the law—except for the year of the
election. It further <i< clan s that no pers n
shall vote who, if challenged, shall refuse
to swear (« mongo-her things) 'bat he has
pid 'he itquirrd taxes. Ibe same sec
ti 'U prohit-i'S persona convicted of cer
tain crimes, and also all idiots aud lu
ll I'ics tiona voting.
Tne right of challenging or questioning
the vote of any person offering to vote
anj where iu this state is fully giveu by
la'-; nevertheless for some some reason,
a hm has p-88-d the eeuaie- f 'his com
mon w -alth which challenges—qu-stions
to- vo'eof ttv-ry cmz u ot Fioyd conn'y
aud b-tore he can c-st bis bailor for 'be
men aud measures he favors, the upright
and houes> voter is required toswea that
he has paid all taxes as rtqilir.ii by law.
Why no' c impel him to swear at the same
time that be is not a convict and that he
is not an idiot and uot insane ?
The constitu'iou authoiiz -a the general
assetnb y to provide for the registration
of all the voters of the state, but, it gives
no warrant, as I understand it, to impose
burdens on the electors of Floyd County
not imposed on the voters of other
0 nn'ies. But granting that such an act
wou'd not contravene the cotts'i tition of
the state, w mid it not in rfif -ot be a
challenge of the right of every cit s n of
F'oyd county to exercise the right (J
suffrage—‘the right of suffrage”—and
would it not also make every sensitive
voter’s ears tin'le ano cheeks burn when
he thought that his right to vote was
questioned bv the general assembly, aud
would not. many good men abstain from
registering?
It seems to me that the effect of the bill
would be to give elections into the bands
of such as do not have any regard for the
sanctity of an oath. A conscientious man
■wears as seldom as p-ssible, and would
ra-her give up bis right to vote than to
make wholesale declarations of his ricti
tude and call upon the Almighty to at
test the truth of his oath.
I care n >t how the ballotbox is hedged
■b->nr with safeguards, but I do protest
against the passage of a law that ques
tions the right of every citisen of Fioyd
county to vote under the general law of
the land. R. R Babbis.
