The “grandfather” clause of the Arkansas Constitution reads as follows:
“SECTION 4a. No person shall be registered as an elector of this State,
or be allowed to vote in any election held herein, unless he be able
to read and write any section of the Constitution of the State of
Oklahoma; but no person who was on January 1, 1866, or at any time
prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at
that time resided in some foreign nation, and no lineal descendant of
such person, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of
his inability to so read and write sections of such Constitution.
“Precinct election inspectors having in charge the registration of
electors shall enforce the provisions of this section at the time of
registration, provided registration be required. Should registration be
dispensed with the provisions of this section shall be enforced by the
precinct election officers when electors apply for ballots to vote.”
This amendment has been voted upon and the votes canvassed, but an
official count has not been announced, and probably will not be until
just before the general election in November.

The Hon. J. C. Napier will replace the Hon. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, as
Register of the United States Treasury. The Chattanooga _Times_ gives
the following reasons for the change:
“It appears now that Vernon has outlived his usefulness, since he
could not help the administration to stem the insurgent wave that
recently swept over the Sunflower State, and that his reappointment was
contingent on his success in that campaign. It is learned from that day
he was marked for retirement.
“Tennessee Republican politicians readily recognized the opportunity to
make a master stroke and impression on the Negro vote in Tennessee, by
recognizing one of their race with an important office.
“Napier for eight years was a member of the Republican State Committee,
but the white members fell out with him at the recent state convention
when it was believed that he had agreed to use his influence with the
Negroes in favor of Patterson. Since he was deposed the committee has
been without Negro membership, and this sop is held out to pacify the
rebellious Negroes all over the state.”
