INGALLS, ONTHE CIVIL RIGHTS
QUESTION.

Senator Ingalls, thus expresses his
views on the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court In connection with the
civil rights question, in letter 10 the
Topeka Tribune:
ATCHIsoN, Kas., October %, 1888
To the Editor OF the Tribune:
DEAR SIR-l have not seen the auth
entic text of the supreme court decision
and cannot therefore speak with pre-
cisiOn, but the agitation of the AfricO-
Americans appears TO me TO lie unnec-
essary. The judgment does not warrant
denHnciation of the court, nor abandon
ment OF the Republican party, nor JUS
THY the apprehension that the col0red
people will be deprived of any of their
civil or political rights.
Those rights are guaranteed by the
amendments TO the constitution, which
were placed there by the Republican
party. The Democracy opposed them
| unanimously.
To make those rights more etfectual,
the law of 1870 was enacted by the Re
| publican senators and representatives. in
| congress, against the united opposition
OF the Democrats in both houses.
The court holds that the law went
| further in the attempt TO protect the
rights of the freedmen than the cOnstitu.
| tional amendments authorizes congress
to GO. 1t says IN effect that the Repub-
lican party was too earnest and Jealous
in its advocacy of the rights of the
four million slaves whom it first liberia
ted and then enlranchised and made cit
liens. The question was n legal one
merely, and not political in any aspect.
The Judges we're sworn to decide all cases
that come before them in accordance
| with the constitution and laws If the
United States, aud not upon their sym.
pathies or political preferences. 1t Is
impossible to suspect such men as CHEZ
Justice Waite and Justice Miller of dis
loyalty 10 freedom. or Indifference To the
rights of humanity. And yet they con.
Cured with their brethren in holding
the legislation invalid.
The decision remands the whole sub
ject of civil rights to the states, but does
not deprive any person, black or white
OF any of the privileges of citizenship
All are alike entitled 10 the equal pro
lection of the law, as before. II the
rights of any citizen are invaded OF
abridged by the laws of any state, hC
can appeal to the nation for redress, bu
if they are invaded or abridged by ans
other citizen he must look To the state
courts for protection.
That congress has power, and that i
will do its duty, to compel justice
where il is persistently denied by the
courts OF a state, do not doubt. An
other amendment may be required, OF
another war may be Waged, but every
right must be enforced and every wrong
must be rcdressed.
There is no occasion either for resent
ment or despair. The victorious virtues
are vigilance, patience and courage. il
the future as in the past, the Republican
party OF he nation will demand tn
protection of just and equal laws for al
citizens, of whatever color or condition
so thSt freedom shall not be nam
merely, nor citizenship a mOckeIy ant
delusiOn.
Very sincerely yours,
john J. INGALLS,.

that it will become dangerous 10 the Do
