Az OUTRAGE IN PLEASANT vALLsY.-Thc
L Claire and Pleasant Valley Union School
D.stric: was on .uc day the theatre Of nm
outrage seldom witnessed. Loyal citizens,
could you believe IL possible that here in
F., the republican State Of Iowa, in the year
1865. there con'd BE- found . Republican
office holder ~ho would, in disregard of all
l,w. il disregard Of the principles If ,stice
and humanity, enter public schopl house,
and order from thence little g,rl whose
only crime was that of possessing a skin =
shade darker than his own Yes, reader,
such IN outrage has been psrpctr4,ed here
in Scott county by Republican Supervisor.
Jesse l.. iIcnIey.
To-day there is no party or faction in cx-
i-tence, in Il e civilized world but what is
willing to educ ,te the negro, and give him
chancc to rise. And yet IN view of this
fact, we tind one man. the Republican Su-
pervsor Of p ca~ant Valley. taking the law
in his own hanis. and driving hume from
.hool bright little colored rir. Oae woLld
h I'VE supposed that thi, X publican Super
visor, after joining in the procession that
was rejoicing over the capture Of Lees army;
after riding in . carriage bshlni the little
.larkey boys. and the &C. 5. A. coffin.
would have gone home with determina-
ton to deal out Justice 10 the tlack rac'.-
! But alas, for Jesse. he could ride behind
th- ,larkey in public procession, and yet
he cannot allow u little darkey gill to at
tent school in his district. Shame on such
a man. There is no party in existence to
day that he can cling to, net even in Dixie.
| We. thci cfore. as q sympa;hlzing friend Of
Mr.. jesse Henley. respectfully advise him to
no longer sail upon the sea with"ut chart or
compass. bnt to pack up his duas. gather
together h hopeful children, and follow the
Lad of jefferson Davis. In him, and him
alone, will he find ore willing to deprive the
black race Of an education. " eli may Jesse
exclai in.
| II icel like one who treads alone,
| Some banquet hall deserted.
| Whose lgots are He'd. whose gail IN Is dead
And al, bu. III Z departed.
