Where thevdo not ubreciate it Raleigh News and Observer, who has been in New Orleans making inquiry as, to the .working and effect of the franchise law of Louisiana, has written his paper soraelnteresting letters bear ing upon that question. In his letter of the 9th inst., he gives us the result of an interview with Hon. H. G. Gage, ex-Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, who in speaking of the disfranchisement of white men, said: . "The only white ; ilti.terates disfran chised in: Louisiana are those foreign ers who . were Dermitted under th Constitution of 1879-to vote under a mere declaration of .intention to be come citizens. Of this number those who took ' out naturalization papers wete very Jew, but thousands contin ued to vote from . 1879 to 1898 under their ' declaration of intention. V This illiterate foreign born vote, especially that portion which was Italian, had gotten under the control of so-called political . bosses, - and a prejudice against it had arisen in the better ele ment of the people, second only in intensity 10 mat against the . negro vote, and when the Constitutional convention ot 1598 undertook to eliminate the negro vote, there was, especially in the city of New Orleans, a determined demand that this illiter ate boss-controlled foreign vote should also be eliminated, and the effect of the suffrage provision adopted was to l eliminate every illiterate foreigner who had not been naturalized previous to I January 1st, 1898. I "To-day no foreigner can vote in I Louisiana as an. illiterate, who bad not been naturalized prior to January 1st, 1898, and in the future foreigners can only vote in .Louisiana wno arei duly naturalized, and possess either I the educational or property qualifica- tions. I "The elimination of these thousands I of illiterate foreigners, voting upon declaration of intention only, accounts I for the falling on 01 the wnite registra-1 tion in Louisiana. I 'Every native-born white man . in I Louisiana, whether educated or unedu-ltend cated votes and is protected in his vote. - I The bulk of the foreign vote in Lou- isiana. especially in the cities, is com- posed principally of Italians, against whom in recent years a strong feeling or dislike has grown up on account of j the lawlessness of these people and the murders and other crimes perpetrated by the secret, bands known as the Mafia, which had carried things with such a high hand, and showed such an utter contempt for and defiance of the officers of the law" that the people of v,. ,.;. nr Mon riripana rnnrlndd till HJ VI S' VIVM -rm m- that it was necessary to do something ,., ihi. vi.monr into rpsnect for I authority and visited summary punish- Ca V. baiakV vivuu . - ruent on several of them a few years ago by shooting them in jail, where thev were held charged with conspiring to assassinate and killiDg the chief of DOlice. who had incurred their enmity by too closely pursuing some of the malefactors.

They have a Vgrand father" section in the constitution of that Slate as amended and now in operation. Speak mg of this and the small number of negroes registered Mr. Gige said: "In Lafayette, St. Martin's, Vermil ion, the Arcadian and other parishes there are many illiterates. Many of them are Creoles. There were no better soldiers than the Creole regi ments. They are men who though illiterate, . have all the"-civic - virtues, takea - keen interest in public affairs, and stood by good gevernment all the way through. We could not disfrao chise such true men and brave sol diers. "The men enrolled under section five, (the grandfather clause) kiow that behind them is the manhood of the State. It is a white man's and an American roll. ,The late Hon. Thos. J. Semmes,- president of the American Bar Association, .registered under this clause.: It is a roll of honor. Most of the illiterate white men in the State, registered under this clause and are now permanently on the registra tion rolls. X "I mere were oniy5,ooo negroes registered in the rS-ate at the recent election. The paucity . of the negro vote took away entirely their import ance as voters. They were not counted or sought after, as a natural result those who did register will have no incentive to do it again, and at the new regis tration after the present registration expires, which will be December 31st 9t there Wl be few negro voter wh d5sir? to registerj' ine Mgranntatner section : in our proposed amendment is a reprodur tion of the provision' in the Louisiana law. This is the section that such constitutional lawyers as Marion But ler and Jeter Pritchard assert is not constitutional, because it "discriini nates - against the sable sovereign (which it doesn't); but the best con stitutional lawyers in Louisiana con that it is constitutional as adopted in their State, and quote the authori ties to sustain them in their opinions, Asa proof that the leading Republi cans in that State believe they are right no effort has been made to con test that law in the courts. If the Re publican leaders who got power and pelf through the negro vote though they could successfully . contest the constitutionality of the law, or any part of it, in the courts wouldn't they have done so? -Of course they would As they have not contested neither will the "Republican leaders in this State, when the people ' ratify the Amendment. They will, notwith standing their vapenne, do as the Re? s - publican leaders - in Louisiana did stop their chatter and submissively bow to the inevitable and irrevocable.

C, speaker, and a member of the consti tutional convention, in which he made 'ne of the most power ful speeches made in that body in advocacy of the "grandfather clause." Being asked by Mr, Daniels bow it worked be replied: H w does it work? I know hun dreds of white men who cannot read '1"Bd-Tfn- wr and write who vote and vole, intelli gently. They vote now list as well as hey did before the (institutional mendment was adopted, and now they are, not in danger of an unworthy I negro's voting to kill their vote. They vote and their vote counts. I live in St. Mary's parish, the home of the three b5g party leaders, Governor Fos- ter, Democratic leader; Mr. Pnarr, I who was the Populist candidate for I Governor in 1896, and their leader; 1 and Senator Cafferey, leader of the GoW Democrats. The parish has a j large negro population, butjn the re. cent April election only three negroes registered, and only one of them voted, and he claims to be an Indian. We cast as big a white vote as ever. There was no discrimination, educated and uneducated white men voted, and ' it I was a hot fight between white men. In I 1896 there was" about 3.000 negroes J who oted in this parish. . There was absolutely no intimidation and the election was perfectly fair. With such leaders as Senator CafiVtey and Cap- tain Pharr against us. we had a -hard ht to win;, but elected our entire I ticket. Before the election some oil i be Democratic party was thus j litlcal or other preferment requlr our opponents talked about fraud, etc, I criticised because it had not used ling' the nse of chicanery, his but they were given representation at all election preempts and they cannot say a word now except that upon tn appeal to the white electorate of the iPP- Kaco prejudice eoold not I lor there Is a very intimate rela parish they were defeated. I be appealed to in those States, tinn between the condition of the "The negroes took no interest in the I election as is shown from the fact that only three registered. The Fusion isl did not try to help the negroes to vote; 4 iThey knew-, that If many ne- groes voted their ticket, it woold unite-the whites in opposition. There Was no complaint about the vote and the -better element ot the negroes are glad that the amendment was adopted, and do not hesitate to say so." Speaking of other parishes besides Sr. Mary's, the one in which he lives, Mr. Daniels quotes the substance of Mr. Sanders' testimony thus: : "Speaking of conditions In other parishes, Mr. Sanders, instanced the parish of Calcasieu, that borders on the State, of Texas, which is largely popu- lated by Western while men, some of whom are unable to read and write. They registered under Section V and voted all right and voted tbe Demo cratic' ticket mostly. In tbe belt of I counties embracing such parishes as Tensas, Concordia, East Carroll and Madi-on, the negro vote before the amendment was adopted amounted to between 12,000 and 15,000. Under the new Constitution there wer.e not and in those parishes there were not to exceed 1.500" white votes registered and cast." VVe see by tbe testimony of ex. Governor Foster, Governor Heard, General Jastremskt, Mr. Sanders and others that instead of disfranchising any native white manor any other reputable white man who has in him the elements of good citizenship, it in sures tbem the ballot and makes the "grandfather clause" a roll of honor, nmn wriirh manv nf trie het snrl mnl , ... , .. c. . ,, prominent -citizens of the State, well educated, are enrolled.' It elevates the white voter because it frees him from attendiug politicial meetings and mix ing with negroes or coming into col lision with them, and from walking to the polls alongside of a negro to cut bis vote and have that vote when cast nullified by the vote of a sable denizen, who knew no more of the importance of what he was doing than a gorilla would if he were in the same place. By eliminating this element the ballot is dignified and the. men who cast it have more respect for it. . As it is in Louisiana so it will be in North Carolina, where every native white man who is of age now or will come of age before tbe amendment is voted upon will be a voter and con tinueto be a voter, as will every white resident of this State Irom other States or other countries who is now' entitled to the ballot. It disfranchises no white hereafter disfranchise man and will none who does not knowingly and voluntarily disfranchise himself. There will be few in North Carolina who will do that and those, few will be persons who set no value upon citizenship.

' Tbe Democratic Legislature met the responsibility of the occasion and framed a measure that Senator! Butler's own representatives in the House voted for. Why does he op pose it now? Tbe .answer to the question is found in this fact.

Tbe Demoeratio party has done what his hand book said it was too cowardly to do, and what Cy Thompson said, the people de - manded should be done, vix.j laid the axe at the root of the tree.

I There ia nothing raora eandrielvai thator a gentle current flowing smoothly without agitation. It is much easier, however, to define such a desirable element than to toll how It may be attained.- It is quite certain, however, that to at- tain mental calm one tnoit have a clear conscience, lie whohas done no wrong to any man Is armed against accusation. The Martyrs could meet their fate calmly, not only because of their faith In the life to come, hot also, we may he aure, because their eon sciences were clear. In the ordinary walks of life there is little to disturb one's mental calm exeept the excitements arising from evil passions and no- satisfied ambitions. The man who does his simple duty, who" wrongs no one, whether he be rich or poor. has nothing with which to npbraid himself. He moves along eon- tentedlf and sleeps the seep of the last.

Or, if such a man should commit a fault, his conscience will disturb him; he will learn to dread possible ex- posnre and punishment; he will o longir enjoy toe oisssmgsoi mental calm and, . suffering for want of brain rest, his health will xaii mm. Mental Activity in Itself Is net a disturbing agent, but there Is danger in too great concentration upon one Hue of thought.

Tbe I greatest foe to mental calm, how- ever, is what is called a bad con I duty neglected or wrong dooe. 1 One's conscience maybe doll In time, but It Is not desirable that It eboold be quieted by neglect of iU I admonitions. As long as it is ac- 1 tlye it will bring disquiet to the wrong-doer and thus deprive him of mental calm. Incidentally it will affect his health and deprive him of happiness. Those, there fore, who woold 'live long and prosper should aim to keep their consciences clear. Tbey cannot hope to be mentally calm if tbey are conscious of wrong-dolor, and they will be in a worse state If tbey can do wrong without up braiding themselves.

The opponent of the amendment uy that there is n dtegtr of oefm docoinatioo io North Carolina, and consequently that there is t.o stcets ty far diifrancbaiog the-neiroe. The painful experience ofibe pair, boercr, has folfy proved that there n toch dan ger and that negro domination hi! been a sad rtal.ty. And it may be so again. The oppooents of the atnendaient allege that there are twice at many whiles as there are blacks in North Carolina, and ridicule the Idea of one negro outvoting and controlling two white men. Yes, it a troe that there are t ice at many whites as negroes in the State, and there wool i be no danger of negrj dofoinairoo if all the white men were as true to their color and voted together at solidly as the oegroes ! But oobrtoaatelr, and to their 1 ha me be it said, enough white men sometimes vo'e with th solid mass of negroes to give the Utter a mjwity. and thus outvote and defeat the great majority of whites. For iotttcce, suppose at some precinct there are too white men and 50 negroes. As long as the 100 white men vote to gether they can outvote and defeat the 50 negroes. But if s6 of the whites vote with the 50 negroes their com bined vote will Xe 76, sni Uy will outvote and defeat the 74 white men who did not i tin the negroes.

And to prevent this the amendment is needed.
