From the Albany Register

Two Winnebago Indians have been
tried before the United States Court in
Illinois, for the murder of two soldiers of
the u. States, on the Goth of March 1920.
They were found guilty, and are to be
hung on the 4th of July. To- the dis
grace ofcivilization, these Indians, while
confined in prison, at Belville, were
shamefuIly treated by the jailor, being
left, at one time, for three days and nights,
without meat OF drink. After their con-
viction and sentence, Cah-rah-mah-ree,
an aged chief of their tribe, addressed
the court as follows:-
Father came down from my nation
to this place, to the trial of Che-wa-cha-
rah and Who-rah-in-kah.
You are an American, Father--I claim
to be American also. When | give my
hand to you, l give it to our Great Father,
1.-THE Presideat, and call the Great Spirit
to witness the sincerity ofmy desire, that
peace may exist among us but ! have
not the same power in my nation, as you,
Father, have over your children here,
painting to the multitude, which causes
me great sorrow. Wherever Cah-rah-
mah-ree is, there shall always be a
clear sky, no clouds to disturb our peace.
When came down here, | had hoped
to find that Che-wa-cha-rah and Who
rah-in-kah had been better treated, but
my heart is oppressed at the cruelty
they have received. | did hope that
pity would have been found, for them,
and that mercy would be shown them.
But let peace be between us. ! look
up to our Great Father as | do to the
Great Spirit for protection.
My Father came here to see jus
tee, but | find none Cah-rah-mah-ree
is honest-he speaks what he thinks
he shakes you for the last time by the
hand.

Some of our readers may recollect that dur
ing the late session of the Legislature, a COM
mittee was appointed to consider the subject
of the admission and residence in this State of
Negroes and Mulattoes. The circumstance
was not remarked upon at the time, because it
was hoped that the appointment of the COM
nittee was all that would be done on the sub
ject. 1t was supposed that, after so full am
expression of the publick feeling at the at
tempt Of Missouri, to obtain the sanction Of
Congress to the violation of the rights of coll
cured citizens, no countenance would be Civ
en-, by the Legislature of Massachusetts,, to any
plan which had for its object the abridgment
of those rights.
1t is but few days since the Report, made
by the committee above mentioned, met our
eye; and we freely acknowledge that we have
read it with surprizc and modification. This
Report, which recommends the appointment
of committee for the purpose of introducing
bill at the next session of the Legislature,
was accepted in the House of Representatives,
without any explanation, so far as we have
learned, of the intended provisions of the bill.
The. views Of the committee, however, may be
inferred from the structure of their Report.
They have recited the provisions of the laws
of Virginia, and of several other States, ON this
subject, without any disapprobation and we
are left to presume they believe that the same
or similar provisions ought to be adopted.in
this State. We had supposed it was settled
point, in New-England at least, that the laws
of Virginia, alluded to in the Report, were in
violation of the rights guaranteed by the Com
stitution of the United States. Ii they are not,
we desire to be informed what sound objection
there was to the Constitution OF Missouri. BY
that It was enjoined upon the Legislature to
exclude free blacks from the State--the laws
of Virginia do the same-and committee of
One branch or the Legislature OF Massachusetts
hold them up as worthy of being initiated.
We disclaim any intention to produce ex!
element on this subject 1t ought, however.
to be understood by the people that the object
Of the Report, if it has any object, is to adopt
the principle which the people of New-England
have so strenuously combatted-that az. tndi-
V'dtat State has a right to exclude from ITS Ter
T'fOry portion Of the citizens of other States.
This principle is directly repugnant to an arti-
Gle Of the United States Constitution and it
is equally obnoxious, whether advocated at the
west or in the East, in Missouri or in Massa-
chusetts.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

JUNE IA, 1921.
The Committee appointed to inquire
into and report upon the expediency of
amending the Laws of this Common
wealth, concerning the admission and
residence in this State, of Negroes and
Mulattoes, ask leave to report state
ment of facts.
That many of the States of this
Union, as well holding as non-holding
slaves, have adopted various and rigor-
Gus measures, in respect of free negroes
and emancipated slaves. In some of
these States, laws have been passed,
permitting the emancipation of slaves
only upon the condition that the slave
so emancipated shall Immediately leave
the State. In other States, slaves are
emancipated only on the condition that
sufficient security shall be given, that
the emancipated person shall never be-
come chargeable in any respect what
ever. This principle, as to Pauperism,
was recognized in the Province Laws of
Massachusetts Bay, as early as 1908.
and as far as your Committee have been
able to ascertain, in most of the Prov
inces of New-England.
That the State of Virginia passed in
1919, severe law, containing great
variety of details, in relation to this
matter, of which law the following is
the substance, concerning free ne
groes, viz.
/. Every emancipated slave shall
forfeit his freedom by staying in the
State more than one year, after such
act Of emancipation.
9. No free negro shall be allowed to
come into the State and every free me-
gro detected coming into the State, shall
be forthwith sent out of it, by the order
Of any Justice of the Peace, and at the
expense of the State.
