April 10, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on prevailing socio-political conditions in the U.S., as of April 10, 1879. It would be difficult to conceive of a situation less favourable to healthy social progress than that in which the Negroes at the South found themselves since the war. They were very poor, and very ignorant and very timid and surrounded by fierce, war-like, anti contemptuous neighbors of a different race. The project introduced by Senator George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, to bring the executive branch of the Government into closer relations with the legislative branches, belongs to the highest class of political questions, to receive a wide and continued discussion until a decision of some sort is reached upon it.
