L. It necessary TO srgue about such n
Law as hiatt Bus Il = climax Is not vet
yet reached Tte rest.ot the case may be
esst stated as We find il in The Chicago
Tribune:
" Until the year 1868 there we're no
other penalties or prohibitions npcn The
migMtion Of colored persons to Illinois
than the above. wbict vas declared un-
constitutional BY the ssapreme Court, for
tie reasoa already stated. and there we're
only 5. 456 cosorcd per+ ms IN Tie State to
$4,000 whites. The f4egisia u in 1858
turned its attention 10 he subieet with 4
ferocity that would have done honor to
Arkansas or Madagssear. II enacted that
if any negro Or mnlsito, bond or free
should come into the State and remain
ten days, be should be fned City dollars
and sold It auction for he 6nc TO the bid
der who would pay il ier the shortess peri.
cd Of service, Asd that II he did not then
leave the State, the process should be 70.
