THE INDBx-APPBAL's DEFENSE OF
ANAROHY.

The Petersburg, Va, INDEx-APPEAL
in its issue Of the 18th instant says:
1.-THE Richmond PLANET is entirely
mistaken il il assumes that the views
of this paper on rape and lynchlng are
influenced in the slightest degree by
any consideration of race, color or
condition. We are entirely free from
any such prejudice as that in this con-
nection, and want to see the same
measure of punishment melted to the
white brute as to the black brute, no
matter what the color of his victim
may be-"
We entertain no such assumption
relative to the position of our esteem
ed contemporary and hasten to assure
it that we occupy a similar position
concerning lynching.
We are opposed to it, be the victim
black or white. The INDEx-APPEAL
says:
Desperate evils call for desperate
remedies, and the crime of rape is one
of such extraordinary enormi ty that it
cannot be suppressed by the ordinary
and dilatory processes of the law. The
delays, uncertainties and opportuni-
ties for the escape of the guilty are
encouragements to this class of crimi-
nails to crafty their vile passions and
take the chances."
This, sir has always been the argu-
ment of the anarchists, the socialists
and the red-handed murderere.

respected and its DEGREES ignored the
ratio Of crime is greatest.
1t says:
The criminal class in California
was once so powerful and dangerous
that the courts were awed and the
laws defied. Vigilance committees
took the law in their own hands, and
soon law and order we're restored and
society saved
The criminal classes OF the south /
control the courts as against men of
color. The excuse cited in the Cali
fornia case does not hold good in
South Caroliuis.
The laws are not defed by colOred
men or by the class of white men who
commit rape.
The day of the necessity for vigil
lance committee has passed in Cali
fornia, it has gone in South Carolina,
Georges, Florida, Alabama, MISSISSIPPI
pi. Texas and the other southern
states. To be charged with criminal
assault is to be convicted. and to be
convicted is to be hanged.
No one knows this better than the
brilliant editor of the INDRx-APPEAL.
Our contemporary forgets that there
is but enc legitimate channel through
which to ascertain the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused and that is the
: courts OF the land
: We cannot conceive of the reason
for the summary execution of person
; charged with rape without due process
o of law, save upon the hypOthesii
: that il one, colored or white
E commits a crime that some 9th
; er colored or white man should b.
made to suffer the penalty provided
the real culprit cannot be apprehend

Ie To do otherwise is to confess that on

ne You cannot argue the use of lvncf
