As it was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said: The judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. The epitome of Reconstruction was in these words. Mr. Labouchere said of an English statesman that he did not find fault with him for being found occasionally with an ace up his sleeve. What he did find fault with was the claim that the ace had been put there by the Providence of God. Banded by Illinois. In 1862 as part of the work of a constitutional convention held at Springfield, Illinois, were the following sections of Article XVIII, of a proposed constitution: (1) No negro or mulatto shall migrate to or settle in this State after the adop
