The ex-siaveholders In the lower
house of Congress propose abolish
ing the colored regiments In the
regular army. They don't even
like to think OF the possibility of a
white man, or any other kind of n
man, being shot by "nigger. A
bill recently passed the House which
provides for the repeal vi the present
law requiring that colored men only
be enlisted for certain regiments
now i'm the service. The COMMITTEES
hadn't the courage 10 ask that those
regiments be disbanded, but passed
bill which will ultimately make
disbandment necessary. These
Southern gentlemen are determined
that colored man shall do nothing
that white men do if they can pre-
vent IL. He shall not be n juryman;
he shall not vote; he shall not ne
uuire property; he shall not serve In
the regular army; he shall not own
or have In his possession any fire.
arm of any description; ia short he
shall have no individuality OF his
own, but must in all things, be sub
servient TO the mighty intellect Of
his former white master. Really
what these unreconstructed rebels
desire Is that they may be allowed t.
go hunting for "niggers" knowing
that the "nigger" has nothing II
protect himself with. Thank the
Lord there Is one branch OF Congress
that rebels do not control! and that
this bill will never pass that branch.
