A DetIttOn hanOE0moly DOunO ana
signed by 8, 200 coiored persons Of Chi
cago and the West, asking for such legis-
lation as will protect colored men OF
This country from the 'barbarous prac-
tice of lynching and burning colored
menu was presented in the Senate on
the 18th by Senator Cullom, of Illinois.
After the reading of the brief petition,
Mr. Cullon said:
The petition technically simply calls
tor The execution ofIaWs. [ happen to
l,nnW from the Gentleman who seDus
rhe petitiOn, ana who is at the head Of
creditable organization, a gentleman
hv the name of DR.. J. 81. Magee, of Chi
cago that they desire such legislation,
II II does not already exist, as will pro
lect colored people from lynching and
murder Without the authority of law.
7 merely desire to cal the attention of
the chairman of the COmmit tee on the
Judiciary to the petition In the nope
that that committee may be able to do
something that will, under the lead OF
the Senator (Hoar) give greater pro-
lection to the colOred paople OF TINS
country in their rights as citlz9ns."
A vigorous debate ensued, and some
highly significant statements were
made. In the course Of the discussion
Senator Chandler, chairman OF the Com
mittee on Pnvi eges and Elections,
thought it desirable to be perfectly
FRANK. "There is no power in Congress"
said he, "to prevent or punish crimes
committed il the various States. Ii
the States do not punish crimes, for the
punishment of which they have enact
ed laws, no Federal law can take the
place Of useless State laws" Mr.. Chan
der added there was no Federal law
under which the viOlator of even the
suffrage laws could be punished. SeD-
stor Spooner Of Wisconsin, declared
that there Is such Federal legislation,
to which Senator Chandler replied,
"There is not now such Legislation.
Congress has no constitutional power
to punish such cIimes."
The document was referred to the
Committee ON the Judiciary. Before
this was done Mr.. Spooner quoted the
sections of the Revised Statutes which
provided penalties for violations Of the
Federal election laws.
Now thas Mr.. Whites bill has been
in The House, and the race
issue has been squarely placed before
the Senate by Messrs. Cullom and
Prtchard, we shall soon be able to see
where the country stands on the ques-
ton of humal righGs, aud to discover
V DO our friends are. Great good will
come Oat of the agitation.
