larry bill under consideration:
Mr.. Pincback-Mr. President, l have not ex
amined this bill very carefully, but have heard
it very favorably spoken of, and l thought It
would be well to bring 1t up in order that 1t
might be discussed, and, if it Is o good law pass
it. Being then, sir, but poorly informed of its
merits, shall not attempt at this time to say
much in regard to it. But, sir, cannot allow to
90 unanswered some of the arguments that have
been adduced by gentlemen who are opposed to
this bill. The senator from st. Helena (Mr.
Thompson) said it was proposed to arm politi.
cal party with the intention Of ostracisng another
If, cir, thought for one moment that the author
Of this measure had in view any such purpose, !
to vote against it. But / do not believe
| The author had in view any such object. l be-
lieve, sir, that he had in view only desire to
protect and bring about peace and good order in
| are so common to-day. think, sir, it was to
| protect the citizens of the parishes, without
| regard to their party proclivities whether Re-
| publican or Democrat. The senator said, also,
that his people are patient and law abiding peo-
| pie; or rather, believe, he said the Southern
| people were 30. 1t is strange to me, sir, that
| when gentlemen use the expression Southern
| people," they only recognize as Southern people
those who happen to have white faces-those
| who happen to belong to the Caucasian race
| Now sir, claim to be one of the people Of the
South. claim to represent, on the floor of this
! Senate, Southern people. / am sent here to give
my vote for measures that will protect and benefit
| Southern people without regard to their color
| Now sir, say again that differ with the gentle
| man, If he claims that the white people only are
| Southern" people, especially in the State o.
| Louisiana. ] claim that they are not the only
| law abiding people. and that in many instances
| they are not law-abiding people; but claim, or
the other hand. that the people which he seems to
| ignore are q law-abiding people.
The gentleman also says that but few year
| ego the negro was accustomed to approach the
| white man with his hat in his band-he did no
| finish the sentence. Chow de do, Nasal
will finish it for him. But this state of things ha
been changed, and to-day, thank God, the colored
| man can approach the white man as men should
| approach each other. am glad that change ha
| been brought about, and hope such changes vii
