Show "liEOBETFULIA REFUSED." Wc unite with the county court of San Francisco, in tho strong sympathy it felt for "Mary E. Marshall, colored, aged 4j, a native of Washington, D. C" who applied for registration as a legal voter yesterday, and was "regretfully "regret-fully refused." How happily it is put? "Regretfully!" Courts aro not always stony-hearted. This one felt how incomplete were the provisions of the law which made a distinction between the sexes of the colored persuasion, aud allowed Sambo to vote, while Dinah is debarred the privilege. Had Mary been "white trash" would tho "regretfully" have been introduced? But she isn't bleached; she is a color, and white is said to bo no color; andj she is refused registration! The Kui KJux commit too will please take this matter under prompt consideration. To have to "regretfully refuse" the gentle Mary! Perish the thought! |
