MIR. CALHOUN-HIS COR RESPON.
DENCE-AND THE TEXAS
QUESTION.

Messrs. Editors Relying upon your
disposition to do justice to men in general,
we do not think you have desire to
withhold it from Mr.. Calhoun.
Will you, therefore, oblige the under
signed by publishing the brief statemen!
which follows. You censure Mr.. Calhoun
for using, in a publ; despatch, statistics
supplied by the census of 1910, which
you allege 10 be incorrect. If they are
erroneous, who is to blame? Was not
the census taken by citizens Of Massachu-
sets, and other New England States, who
could have had no motive to crafty in
mlsrcprc senting the condition Of the free
people of color in those States? Altho;
few local cases OF error may be paraded,
it is by no means shown that the general
tenor OF the returns with regard 10 the
condition Of the free colored people in all
the free States, is not in the main correct.
There is another means of proving the
sunken condition Of the free colorod pop
ulation of the free States in ignorance
and crime, their worst features, besides re
terrng TO the census Of 1910, the correct
ness Of which can easily be ascerfained
at any moment, AMI cannot be disputed.

ford. | here give the Identical words of
The directors in their report made to the |
Legislature of Connecticut, in MAY, 1913.
'Nearly one quarter Of the convicts are
blacks, without education, yet the proper
ton of the colored population to the white,
IN this State, is but one in thirty-six."
You may dispute the statement, that the
black population in Connecticut, is "only
'ne in thirty-siy." But you surely cannot
suppose the converse of the fact, that one
n every four of the population are blacks,
n order 10 show that free blacks are no
worse than whites in Connecticut.
Now, let me beg Of you, if convenient,
0 procure the State Prison reports Of all
