Chief Justice Taney and the Negroes.

Among many it is a standing slur on the
memory of the great Catholic Chief Justice
Of the United States, Roger B. Taney, that
he declared from the Bench that negroes
had no rights which white men were bound
to respect" Judge fancy never expressed
that opinion, and he never held it, How it
came to be ascribed TO him is explained in
an address on his character and service, be-
fore the American Bar Association, by Mr..
Clarkson N. Potter, the well-known lawyer
and statesman, who died only the other day.
The occasion was the delivery of the famous
Dred Scott decision. The decision had been
agreed upon by the Court, and the Chief
Justice was requested to write it, In re-
view Of the condition of the negroes when
the Constitution was adopted he said "They
had for century before been Tegarded as be
ings Of an inferior order, and SO far inferior
they had no rights which the white man was
bound to respect" To describe how negroes
were regarded nearly century before is a
very different thing from declaring how they
should be treated when the words were spO-
ken. To show Judge Taney's feelings to-
wards the colored race, Mr.. Potter added :
"lle had long before manumitted all his own
slaves; had never refused his professional
aid to negroes seeking the rights of freedom !;
he had even defended person indicted for
melting slaves to rebellion at IL time when
the community was violently excited against
the offender, and against Taney for his de-
fence; when pressed with the gravest bust
ness he had been known to stop in the
streets of Washington to help negro child
home with pail Of water; and he had uni
tormly conducted himself to that unfortu-
nate race with the greatest kindness, charity
and sympathy" Catholic Mirror
