y, An OurRAeEous INSULT TO OUR CoLoRED

An O~urRAeE0Us INSULT 70 OUR CnLoRED
SoLDlERs.-We are informed by the daily
press that " the Indians of the plains
will not take scalps from the heads Of
negro soldiers killed in battle"
Is not this a fragrant violation of the
spirit Of the civil rights bill. of the new
amendments to the constitution, and OF
the reconstruction policy of Congress I
This is the browning insult to our col
ored citizens.
Shall the red skins be allowed thus to
make distinctions on account of race or
color ? a..
When the colored troops fight bravely.
may those untaxed Indians scorn their
scaIps, as being no trophy worth the
taking off? ...,..
This coDtemptuous treatment OF the
black man by the red man is not to be
borne. - a
Senator Sumner must attend to this
He must prepare resolutions.
He must illuminate speeches against
the soble red man Of the forest, who,
when on the war path. dares to show a
savage disrespect to wool!
He has abolished the word white in
10 the District of Columbia, let him abol
ish the word black I" on the plains.
Let him cause it to be enacted that
when the untaxed red skin says ugh,
big Ingin no scalp niger !" somebody
shall shoot him on the spot.
1t is not because Of the difficulty of
taking off the colored mans scalp.
O. No such thing. azEsfga
Indians scalp very short-baired white
soldiers.
It !. their contempt for the negro as an
inferior race. 'fs "i" "'-t !
They must be taught better. '.''
Here is missionary work to do.
And q new stipulation should be made
in all Indian treaties, that no distinction
Of race or color shall be made with the
sca'ping knife. Sa ID"
The insult is too cuttiug.-Boston Cou-
vier.
