| them. such attempts will certainly not further
! the recognition Of their rights, but will, On the
contrary, retard their acknoHlod snlent. :
| Whichever tie colored people think that any
of their rights are withheld, they should appeal to
such authorities az are constituted 70 decide upon
the business of their claims who gill dg
occurs to them all rights aud privileges. I4e AS
sistant Commissioner Is confident that the Major
General commanding, the I'd Military District VIII
afford to all the anpest facilities TO obtain their
rights as conferred by recent Acts Of Congress
The dignity Of the Law must be respected
Whenever . community sets aside law aud ap-
peals to physical force disorder and confusion
follow and society drltte into state OF anarchy,
IL which tbs safety IF life and property depends
upon the mercy of an unthnkins mob.

ably array against the people the military power
