Especial Correspondence of the Chicago Times.
WASHINGTON. March "a
The country has made gigantic strides towards
the doctrine of the social and political equality
with negroes, during the last two wears and
particularly during the last lew months Filthy
buck niggers, greasy, sweating and disgusting,
now lostle white people and even ladies'. every-
where. even at the Presidents levees The mig
ger. the Republican idol now crowds by your
side IN the street car; swaggers into the cafe
where YOU taking your breakfast. and takes
bis seat at the next table; ogles and leers at
every modest woman in the street; and mo
nopozeS all the best seats in the galleries OF
both Houses OF Congress The American citi
zen of African descent now sees that he hiss
been made fully the equal with the two mil
lions of white men who. under the falsesi of
all false pretenses have been ured into cruel
and wicked He hears his social equality
with the whites proclaimed daily in the Senate
by Sumner and Lane, aud in the House by
Arnold. Lovejoy and Stevens. He chuckles
and yah, yahsl over the attempt that he sees
being made in Congress to give him the elec-
tive franchise. And to cap the climax. he now
sees the beastly doctrine of the inlermarriaee
of black men with white women openly and
publicly avowed and indorsed and encouraged
by the President of the United States
IL il curious and instructive TO note the stems
by which this disgracefuI state of things has been
brought about There were. first. the emancipa.
ton OF the slaves in the District of Columbia;
second the emancipation proclamation. in which
Mr.. Lincoln violated the solemn pledges of his
inaugural address; third. the unlawful expendi-
ture OF the public money IN large amounts in
the establishment and support of negro schools:
fourth, the adoption Of the policy OF raising negro
soldiers for the Union armies fifth. the practice
OF enticng able bodied negro men TO leave their
comfortable homes on the farms OF Kentucky
and MARYLAND. in order to induce them TO enlist:
sixth, the practice OF forcing the same class of
negroes away for the same purpose; seventh, leg
islaton by Congress giving 60 negro soldiers the
same paw and emoluments "a white soldiers;
eighth. the action of Congress in compelling the
street cars here TO carry blacks as well As white
people: ninth, the efforts in Congress to confis-
cate all the Southern estates and confer them on
negroes and Yankee Adventures indiscrmlnately
tenth, the efforts in Congress 10 give to negroes
the same right 10 vote as Is enjoyed by white
people.
1t was reserved for Honest Old Abe to take
the last step in this revolutionary programme
When delegation of self styled workingm, q
called To see him On recent occasion, he re-
called them with rehash OF his stale campaign
speeches of lc5c, about the equality of all men,
and his desire TO see all men free and equal with
I
but earnest rhapsody about the beauties and the
beneficial results OF the mingling of the two
races The negroes aud the negro worshipers are
in extscies over this new stand taken by the Pres
ident The latter think they have "watered" him
To some purpose; and the former are indu ging in
dreams of vista of future bliss. which they
will enjoy the estates. the wives and the daugh-
ters OF their former masters without limit and
without stint.
E II il amazing that the American peope have
+ permitted these successive steps to be taken
without anything more than feeble protest
against them But there are only two more
steps to he taken. and these (tor thew will be
f taken) may arouse the people 10 assert their
/ rights and protect themselves and those dearest
/ 10 them, from outrage The negroes will be
/ taken TO the polls aud allowed to vote, and this
will be done in the presence and under the terror
