tho Chicago Adrance Of Sept. 20, undor The edi
torial head, is tho following; "InE CnIcAuo
TRIBUNE Bqun!ely calls upon tho insultud and
amused freedmen to doFsnd themselves, to strike
or shoot il anybody sttlkea or gfoats therl."

Ing you, the paragraph closes thus III ncitior
tho State nor tle General Government projects
them from murder, II Ia their dut; to project
themselves and their families, oren to the taking
Of life ns 1t ia that Of nns white man to shoot al
attacking burglar, hghway.robber, or mur-
derer."

suicide. It was ponal olEonse by the laws OF
