We wish 1t did. Ii President
HARRIS MS reported remarks up
On the murder OF Deputy Marshal
SAUNDERS may Oe taken as an
Indicator, It Is beginning TO under

We must make it primarily distinct
~ Understood by them that the present
question OF white or back supremacy
nas no connection whatever with ihe
question of loyalty TO the UniOn. or

sequshIlS we must convince them thar
lie Negro possesses every right which

ia the exercise of any right wnar-ever
ne Is ia ANY way mpeded, 1t is only SO

That's cool, to say the least. So
the nulllfication Of the provisions
OF the Constitution OF the United
States has no connection whatever
with The question Of loyalty to the
Union, and persistent treating of
che Negro IN some sections just as
though the 18th Amendment had
not been engrAtted IN the Consti-
tutlon had nothing To 10 with tue
question OF slavery. The claim is
50 absurd that comment is unne-
cessary.
SO the existence of the nation
depends upon such outrages as
tnose perpetrated at Hainburg
Copiah, Lefore Co., MISS. Men
dian, Jessup. Ga. BarnwelI Co..
). y. and Washington Co., Texas.
IL depends upon the driving oI
Lerican voters of color
ballot boxes, the incarcera,.nx q,
innocent Republican colored men
IN pals and penitentiaries: the
shooting down OF such men a,
AMBRICUs Nicely, before the Pres
i0ent's signature commissioning for
an Office had reached him. 1t de-
ponds upon such acts as those
which drove out the judge and the
ounty officials Of Arkansas. II
depends upon the shooting dowI
by midnight assassin of such 4
man as Col. JNo. M. CLAYTON O
the same state as well as the bruta
murder of Deputy Marshal SAuN.
DERs IN Florida. 1t depends up-
ON such frauds as denied to Hon
JOHN MERCER LANGsToN hi,
certificate of election as Congress
man from the 4th Congressiona
District of Virginia, MILLER from
South Carolina, THRERT from All;
oama, hill from Mississippi and
host OF other Republican whit
men who had been counted out b,
frauds so unblushingly that eve,
heaven might wonder. He says.
When Lee surrendered at Ammonia
tox the South laid down her arms an
gave her parole"
Yes and took them up and cor
menced shooting down Negroe
before the last Yankees coat-tai
had been lost sight Of in the dis
lance. They thought they ma,
settled the war but they LETT an
other more terrible than that q
open and armed conflict. FIT,
thousand Negroes untlmeIy sen
INTO the unknown world is a suf
Gent evidence of that fact
He says;
"During that period the Negro VIII
mad been given. In the utmost GOO
|
of education which his faculties hsv
enabled him to receive"
So three months schooling in
year is all the advantage of educa
ton which the Negroes facultie
allow him to receive. Rev. j. +
