A Menace to the South- According to a late Washington dis patch, there is a formidable scheme on foot to deprive the southern states of a large portion of their lepresentation in congress. There are two reasons for this. First and foremost, the ad vancement of the political interests of the republican party, with a view io perpetuating it in power. The second reason is to punish the south on ac count of the passage of state laws to disfranchise the negro, by education, property and other qualifications. This question has been agitated by the republicans more than once. The new census seems to give them the opportunity they have been waiting for so long. The details of the plot to inflict this wrong upon the south are very simple. The indications are that the apporlion.nent under the new cen sus will be made by the second session us the present congress. The repub licans have a majority in both the senate and the house. In the home, they have only a few votes to spare, I and unless party lines are closely drawn, the scheme will fail. But if the republicans all stand t gether, it really seems that they w .11 be able to j rob the south of its pn sent legitimate I representation in both the national j j congress and the electorial college. The Fourteenth amendment to the I Constitution of the I nited States pro vides that “when the right to v ■ it any election” is denied by a state to citizens 21 years of age, ex -pt for i ‘'rebellion or other crime, ' the basis of representation shall ba r- duccd pro port! .lately. 1 lie Fifteen’.!) amend ment, it wol he remembertd, forbids the denial of this right, “c:i agr mint of race, color, or previous c nditi :i of servitude.'’ It now seems that the plotters against the soutl contend that these provisions leave it open for the right of suffrage to be denied for other causes not enumerated in the Fifteenth amendment, and that in such case the Fourteenth amendment comes into full force and i ffect, compelling a re duction in representation to the state enacting such suffrage laws Io the absence of a decision of the supreme court oil the- eul-j ct, the republicans, if they so elect, may proCt ed to enforce their interpretation of the matte r. Their success would depend upon i the ability of the leaders to force all of the n publ an e grv'.meu to stand together. Tie danger to il.e south is apparent If he plot should succeed, we would b deprived of probably as many as twenty-five or thirty congressmen and toe same number of votes in the electoral col' lege. The loss of such a large number of votes would probably enable the republicans to perpetuate themselves in power for a long time at least as long as present polilcal divisions are unchanged. I lie schemers may even go so far as to attempt to have con gress remain in se- ■ until after the census is completed, in ordt r that the next election might I- - heid under the new appointment. The same south-haters who attempt ed to put the force bill on this .-ecti-.o are advocating this new scheme, but means will no doubt be found t . pre vent them from carrying nt their plans successfully —Columbu- En quire i-Sun For Backache use Stu art’s Gin and Buchu. ? ‘’Pitts’ Carminative ? | Saved My Baby's Life.” ; - Johnson Station, Ga„ September 16, 1891. * I LAMAR & RANKIN DRUG CO., Atlanta, Ga. 2 3 Gentlemen: I can not recommend vour Pitts’ Carminative too A L strongly, as I owe my baby’s life to it. -She had Cholera Infantum * I when five months old, and I could get no relief until I bejan using Pltfs I ?
