TO REPEAL 1 5TH AMENDMENT.
THE SCHEME IN THE VIRGINIA CON
VENTION.
Negro Disfranchisement the Overshadow
ing Subject in the Virginia Constitutional
Convention.
Charlotte Observer.
Richmond, Ara., June 20. The pro
ceedings today of the Virginia consti
tutional convention sho a ed very plain
ly that the overshadowing subject
which is to come before it will be the
disfranchisement of the negro. Tilers
were two resolutions offered and refer
red to the suffrage committee,- propos
ing to appeal to the other states of the
Union to join in a movement for a re
peal of the fifteenth amendment.
The first o fthese was presented by
Circuit Judge Thomas Harrison, of
Frederick. After declaring tbat uni
versal suffrage has in the past been
safely entrusted to the whites the res
olution sets forth that universal suf
frage has been attended with great
evils in the South. The resolution then
proceeds to say that the fifteenth
amendment of the United States con
stitution is wrong, in that it proceeds
on the theory that the two races are
equally competent of free government.
This theory is contradicted not only
by the experience of the South, but by
the history of the two races since th i
dawn of history. This convention
therefore, ought to inaugurate through
the proper channels, the proper steps
to its repeal or amendment so that
each State may control its suffrage, a
its best interests demand; that it i-j
not the purpose of the State to deny
the negro any civil rights, nor to dis
franchise any negro, -who has suffi
cient free hold estate to give him a per
manent and substantial interest in the
welfare of the State, nor, if any dis
crimination is made against him in the
right of suffrage, to claim any repre
sentation in Congress or tte electoral
college based upon negro population,
but, ipso facto, to surrender it until
Congress shall declare what additional
representation shall be given to the
extent that suffrage is given to the
negro. Judge Harrison is one of the
most conservative men in the con
vention. Another resolution offered by Mr. A.
P. Thom, of Norfolk, who provoked the
Snow famous debate on taking of the
oath of office, contemplates adopting
an address to the people of the coun
try, with a view of securing the repeal
of the fifteenth amendment. The reso
lution directs the committee on suf
frage, of which Senator Daniel will be
chairman, to inquire into this sub
ject. A still more radical move to be made
on the suffrage question is a resolu
tion which Congressman Flood, of Ap
pomattox, will offer, probably tomor
iow. This is essentially the proposi
tion submitted to the Alabama consti
tutional convention by Senator Morgan
It declares that only whites shall hold
offices or such as may be permitted
under the constitution which this coun
vention is to adopt, which limits office
holding practically to that race.
All three of these proportions are at
tracting a great deal of attention, more
than anything jet offered in the Arir
ginia convention.
Town Representation
Boston Herald.
The only excuse attempted to be of
fered in any quarter for the unjust
system of representation in Connecti
cut is that it is desirable that towns,
as such, should be represented. We
question very much whether such de
sirablity reaches the extent of beins;
essential. AtUny rate, it is clear in
our mind that if towns cannot be rep
lesented without compelling gross in
equality of representation on the part
of the people, town representation
should give way. It is difficult to show
bow the people are better represent
ed by being asociated for that purpose
within certain geographical limits, and
if it could be shown, the providing it
at the expense of giving one set of men
more power than is their due in the
State legislature would be a great sac
rifice to accomplish a small end. When
it leads to an enormous abuse, as in
Connecticut, which State gives men.
in one place more than two hundred'
times the advantage in legislation thaj
is accorded to those in another, it &
simply an atrocious perversion of ttic
spirit of our government, which is des
igned to secure equality of rights
aniens the people. -
THE EXACT STEALAGE GOT AT
Vhe amount stolen by major
martin is $16,550.53.
Treasurer Lacy Loses $374.84, Ex-Treasurer
Worth $16,060.04, While Martin
Gets Credit for $115.65 Returned.
News and Observer.
State Treasurer Lacy was yesterday
talking to a reporter of the News and
Observer in regard to the correct
amount of the stealage of the Peniten
tiary funds by Maj. W. H. Martin who
'from 1895 till 1901 was the institutional
tuna clerk in the State Treasurer s of
fice. The exact figures have not yet
been given the public and are contain
ed in the report of the Penitentiary
Investigating Committee, consisting of
Senator E. M. Arrington, Representa
tive F. M. Shannonhouse and Judge F.
D. AVinstcn.
This report has been signed by Mess
rs. Shannonhouse and Arrington and
has been sent to AATindsor for the sig
nature of Judge Winston. It is expec
ted back in Raleigh today or tomor
row. Treasurer Lacy's figures on the steal
age, made from the report, shows this
to be $16,550.53. Of this former Treas
urer AYorth, or Martin's bondsman, are
responsible for $16,0G0.04. Treasurer
Lacy is caught for $374.84, this being
115.65 less than expected, as Martin
had paid out this amount and taken
up the warrants. "This loss I will
have to bear" said Mr. Lacy yesterday.
'As I have no recourse'- Martin did
the stealing from Mr. Lacy during the
thirty days he was showing the new
men in the Treasurer's office the run of
affairs.
During the close of this last month
Maj. Martin made a big steal in order
to get cash in hand and to straighten
cut the Deaf and Dumb Asylum ac
count. He tore out a check from the
tack the check book made it out for
1,249.52 and drew the money from the
National Bank of Raleigh. He then
deposited $759.03 in the Citizen's Bank
in order to straighten out the Deaf and
Dumb account.
This left the major with 5490.49 on
hand. From this he is supposed to
have paid the 5115.65 for warrants he
took up individually and pocketed the
balance, $374. 84, which is the sum Trea
surer Lacy loses.
Ex-Treasurer AVorth has two ways of
raising money on Martin's bondsmen.
The first two years of Martin's service
is covered by a private bond of $5,000
good for all the time that Martin work
ed for AVorth. The last four years his
.bond was for $5,000 a year in the Balti
more Surety and Trust Company. As
Mr. AVorth would inform this company
each year, so it is said that Martin's
acounts were correct, in order that
Martin might renew the bond, it now
seems that the company may be only
liable for $5,000 on the last year, even
if Martin did steal during the prev
ious years. Ex-Treasurer AAorth will
claim that the trust company is due for
each year's shortage separately, and if
this is so then he will not be cut such
a large sum.
AArhen the money that Martin stole is
again placed to the credit of the State's
Prison, it will help it out wonderfully
in its present stringent financial con
dition. Demand for this money will
be made as soon as the report is filed
with the Governor.
Injunction Against Love-Mak.

A few days ago Marie Aletta Lent,
an elocutionist in Toledo, filed a pet
tion in court praying that John P. Del

making love to her. Mr. Delphey ad
mits that correspondence has passed
between him and Miss Lent in the last
year and a half, that they have fre
quently walked and ridden together
that he has visited her frequently at
her home and at her studio, and that
on such ocasions they were usually
alone. He further admits that there
has been a deal of affectionate conver
sation between them, but maintains
that she has been as solicitors of his
attentions as he has been of hers. He
further "avers" that after meeting him

might give her. Then, without intimat
ing or insinuating anything that could
Avound the young woman's feelings or
injure her social standing in the least.
Mr. Delphey asks that she be enjoined
from noticing him or speaking to him
henceforth when thejr meet in society.
This ought to be satisfactorily to Miss
Lent, if what she was looking for when
the filed her petition was the severance
of all relations with Mr. Delphey. He
has coolly, courteously and promptly,
taken her at her word. In view of his
answer, it would seem that she might
have been able to dismiss him without
going to law about it. His conduct in
the premises is that of a man who
would not care to sit on her doorstep
after he had been politely but firmly
told to go.
Mr. Delphey's attitude will give gen
eral satisfaction, we believe, to his sex,
inasmuch as it will nave a tendency
to make injunction proceedings in love
affairs unpopular. It is easy to see
that serious opposition on this part to
her petition would have made him her
legitimate lover and might have es
tablished a precedent that would have
worked td the advantage of young
ladies seekfng husbands and'to the dis
advantage of lawyers who are not seek"
ing wives. '
