THE Army bill as passed by the House
gives evidence of what the colored peo-
pie may expect if the Democratic party
again comes into power. In opposition
to this bill Mr.. Small, of South Carolina,
colored, offered an amendment for the
purpose of saving the four colored regi-
ments and providing that no distinction
on account of color should be made in
enlistments, and in his speech he declared
that with few more Democratic Hous-
es colored men would be debarred from
Congress as they would under this bill
from the army.
