ORGANIZING CONGRESS-.

The 56th., Congress which has
republican working majority in
each house will be called upon to
vote for bill which will be present
ed to reduce the representatives in
Congress and the Electoral College
in proportion to the number Of
qualified voters according to the
number of male citizens permitted
to vote over21 years old thereby
excluding those persons who are
not qualified or eligible to vote ac-
cording to their State constitution.
It is true the new law would not
effect the Northern; Eastern or
Western States, as all of their citi-
zens above II years of age are per-
mitted to vote, while in most of
the Southern states the right Of
suffrage is cut from the colored clti-
zens by state laws, therefore if they
are not considered a qualified elector
or voter they should not be per
mitted to count those persons in
making up the number of Congress
men or Electors they are entitled to;
if the bill should become a law the re-
presentation from the Southern
states would be cut down abo
one half their number. We would
like to see the Lill become law,
it is Just fair and honest and would
be one of the best lesson for the
Southern states and their number is
thus reduced they would loose their
influence, strength in Congress, we
hope New Congress will pass such a
law. f.

EIGHTH ILLINOIS
WELCOME HOME.

IhlCaRO mas again aOdeQ anOtner
crown to her history and fame by so
heartily extending her open arms to
receive the colored regiment last
Saturday the 18th. 1t is said that
Chicago is the Mecca for the colored
people, and that all men are treated
with equal justice. That fact has
been fully demonstrated by. the true
loyal spirit in which all the citizens
irrespective Of color joined in the
grand triumphiai welcome accorded
the colored soldiers, 1t was per-
haps the first colored regiment ever
organized in America with colored
officers, from Colonelcy down to
corporal. The Eighth was recruited
from the old Ninth battalior, form
ally commanded by Major Buckner,
to full regiment. On August the
4th Governor Tanner telegraphed
Secretary Alger, asking that the First
Illinois regiment who had engaged
in the battle at Santiago be sent
home, and another Illinois regiment
sent in its place, as the First was fa-
tigue with heat, sick with malarial
and other Diseases. The next day
Governor Tanner said that the 9th
illinois, made up exclusively OF col
ored, wanted to 60 and take the
place Of the 1st; this exchange was
accepted, the journey was made in
haste, and on the 9th Of August the
work of disembarking was begun.
This act alone shows the greatest OF
bravery and loyalty on the part Of
the colored boys, because they went
in the time of great excitement, and
grave perils, as tie hot winds and
fever was at its highest. The long
list Of dead at the battle of Santiago
was read, yet the boys left their
peaceful, quiet little homes of COM
fort and good health, and went to
the fever stricken district and battle
scared fields of Cuba to fight for
human liberty and protection of
American homes-yes we are forced
to say l,rhat some of the Amerlc's
homes do not appreciate their worth
the narrow mind, half witted
governor of Georgia has so declared
but we are glad to know that a
large majority Of American people
appreciate the brave Sth, especially
the intelligent people. The 9Th is a
credit to our race or any race. NO
complaint of any kind has come
from the men, neither have they had
any newspaper notoriety. 1t has
performed its duty in soldiery way
in spite of attempts to excite preju-
dice against colored regiment
commanded by colored officers. II
has spleadid record within its nine
months Of service it has only lost 19
men. We would like to say more,
but suffice it to say that the record
Of the regiment and the discipline is
the best possible endorsement thai
can be given.

In part;
To. day We realize the goal Of our am.
bition. A regiment in which every
man, from colonel to private, is Neg
70, has gone to the front and returned
with record unstained and with flying
colors. The heart of Chicago, OF Illi-
nois and of America rejoices. America
has shown the world that she stands on
the side of liberty. While she has en-
larged the national domain, she has ad-
ded ten millions of duslxy children Of
the Orient to mingle with her ten mil
lion of dusky children of the Occident,
to gather under the dominion of liber-
ty and the law. The President of the
United States has said that the rancors
of North and South have been buried
in the trenches around Santiago and
Manila. Let us take one step farther
and Lu,y vilification and mob violence
on account ofcolcr. Colored men have
been heard of in the wars of the Unit
ted States before There were Negroes
with the patriots at Concord and Lex
ingtOn; there were colored men with
Jackson at New Orleans; men of our
race fought with Banks and with But
Ter and with the gallant Shaw. and
they were with Grant ut Appomattox.
Ana the black patriots have left a req
ord on the pages of American history
from Bunker Hill to San Juan Hill.
We are proud Of our heritage-a
heritage alike for black or white.
So ne wondered If tie colored men
could fight.
AND They D1D FIGHT.
Our previous record ought to have
told them we would. Never has a
grander courage been demonstrated
than by our boys Of the gallant Twen-
ty-fOurth at San Juan. And those who
thought that Negroes could not fight
under officers of their own race had
evidently forgotten Cetewayo, the gal
liant Zulu king, and the men who
fought in Hayti and San Domingo.
And our regiment, ofhced all by colored
men, has done its work faithfully and
come back without blot upon its es.
cutcheon.
The colored people are elbowed to a
great extent from the walks of life,
but you cannot eliminate us from the
history Of this country. II we were
ont of the Constitution you could not
understand it. We were the incentive
for speeches BY the great Sumner.
Webster and Calhoun. Ard in much OF
the best literature is the Negro given
place All we asked was to he given a
chance. 1t has been given rs, ana we
have shown what could do. And in
the front ranks of industry IS of battle
will we go if given q chance.
