Seymour Colored People Protest

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, IND, May 3l.-The coiored
people of this place assembled to-day
TO make a formal protest against
the recent Southern .outrages on
negroes. The President . and Con-
gress of the United States were
appealed to In behalf of the defenseless
colored race TO investigate its grievances
and take proper steps for emehorsting the
condition of the colored man. Resolutions
were passed praying that the legislatures of
certain Southern States cease TO frame
eDactmeHts discriminating against the
negro and grant HIM his full civil rights.
The acts of colored criminals was Nv no
means c~ondOned. but the white race WAS
asked To extend the same legal rights 10 n
cOlored prisoner as 10 n white man. 1t WAS
the sense of the meeting that the colo red
man should 10 longer live almost
exclusively in the South, but should emf
CRATE 10 other and more inviting portions
of the country aud strive with his white
brothers to become good and worthy citi-
zens. In conclusion the resolutions read:
This meeting believes that under the eircum-
stances PRESIDENT Harrison has done all within
his power To- secure 10 all OF orr citizens the full
est enjoyment OF their rights; therefore we pray
10 lie understood as reafhrming our adherence
o. the doctrines and principles OF that party
which has been truRto us.
IL was ordered that - copy of the resolu-
tions b. sent TO the President and TO the
Governors of the Southern States.

to the northwe est of the city smacked
strongly of the marine. The levee along
the south bank stood the test and kept the
water back all day yesterday. there the
National road crosses this creek there Ia q
gap In the north bulwark, made in 1883, that
has never since been repaired. Through this
the waters flowed madly until the north
district, as far as the North Indianapolis
railroad. where the colored settlement is
located. was transformed from beautiful
green pastures into q lake. Some of houses
of this little village have been
for the present abandoned, as the
water is nearly up to the windows,
and their occupants are crowded into
the houses of their nearest neighbors
whose heads are still above the waves.
The creek, including these lakes along it's
banks, is in places from one to one and
One.half miles wide. The bridges held
their places through the worst. but prob
ably could not have done so had the creek
not expanded across the adjacent country
in time to take some of the force of the
current away.

medicine. For seveIa years there have
been big fairs held there, which brought
"A vast number of sieht-seers from every

ears. buses, hacks and vehicles of every
description weIe running all the time,

chants and all classes of business were
taxed TO their uttermost to wait on the
trade, and from "a conservative calcula-
ton il Is estimated tnat not less than

by your paper that il is Nerv doubtful
alb u, ha ing one next fall Your IeJple
are very apt at preaching and telling
others what TO do in order To make n
country progress, but when the time
comes to put tier shoul iers TO the
wheel, they easily find some excuse TO
evade performing their part. Now
either let your town folks come out Of
their narrow, selfish, moss-back shell,
and go 10 work like they ought TO, aud
begiu preparations for one of those
splendid expositions which Shreveport
has given for the past four or five years,
