imputed language of reputed leading
Republican Senator: eff Democracy does
not carry all the Southern States after
this, they are a pack Of id fools"
There is thus the sanction Of high Demo
cratic authority for campaign policy OF
intimidation and violence toward the
colored voters. The Southern Democracy
may go ahead, says the judge, and clean
out the colored voters. The federal hands
are tied, and all persons indicted for CON-
mon assault, murders or election riots,
have nothing to apprehend except trial
at the hands of their political friends. 1t
is very plain, therefore, that the color OF
the voter will in the next campaign, or
until the federal law shall have been made
more efectual, afford no sort Of protec-
ton from the violence and vengeance of
the Demo cratic enemy.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-04-07
COLOR NO PROTECTION.

Among the elite, with whom the Times
correspondent at Washington exclusively
associates, is Mr.. jeremiah Black, of
Pennsylvania, distinguished Democrat
of the Buchanan school. He argues to
prove that no conviction can be effected
upon a count charging that a colored
voter was debarred his right because of
his color. Here is the interview:
'.WhJ is q conviction impcssible!" /
asked.
"For this reason: All Of the allegations
in the indictment must not only be set
forth with particularly. but proven. Now,
how are you going to prove that an assault
which was made upon negro voter was SO
made because Of his race or color! The
charge Is incapable of proof. How are you
going to prore a mans motives! To be
sure, Judge Waite said it could be sus-
pected.' So it can. But how can it be
provens A good many negroes do vote in
louisiana don't they" "Oh yes" an
swered. "And do not most Of them vote
madel OF course they do; and don't you
see that this fact would 60 far to weaken
the force Of such an inference9 Suspicious
or differences do not sustain indictments.
There must be something specifically
charged. That something must be posi-
lively proven"
Judge" l said, ''suppose it is proven
that q negro is assaulted near the polls
what would be the otf.nse under the law9"
''Why, it would only be q case of common
assault" s'But if it was charged and
proven that the negro was going to vote
the Republican ticket9' 1T would OILY be
q case Of election riot. Don't you see, R.!
1t must be proven that that this assault
was committed because Of his race, color
or previous condition. And l tell you this
motive can not be proven" l found nearly
all the leading Republican lawyers took the
same view of it that Judge Black did. Some
ofthem were very bitter. Aleading Repub-
lean Senator, who wants to be 8 pres
idential candidate, said with much passion
in his tone, AWeli, if you don't carry all
the Southern States after this, you are
pack Of id fools"
Thus Judge Black triumphantly proves
to his chum 'sR. " that this protective pro-
vision is imperative. A Democrat may
shoot colored man on his way to the
polls. It is "a common assault" If it
were proven that the negro would have
voted the Republican ticket, it would
be "a case of election riot" The learned
Judge is delighted to insist upon the diff
ficulty of proving that a man acts upon
motive which he disavows According to
the ruling Of this judge, if Democrat
kill colored Republican at.the polls, and
on Indictment for the act, pleads that he
did not in fact kill the man because
he was black, but because he was
a Republican, the charge must be
dismissed, and the prisoner left to the
State courts to answer for the kill
ing. The joyous deduction of the Demo-
cratic Judge Black is that the Southern
Democracy have nothing to fear from
federal law, but may 60 ahead, and in the
