A BLOW At PEonAGE.

There is hope for the southern negro
in an opinion handed down a few days
ago by Judge Emory Sp,eer, of the
United States district court of Georgia.
An action was brought for a writ of
habeas corpus by a negro Henry Jami-
son, who had been unjustly accused,
and without proper trial consigned to
seven months hard labor in the chain
gang on the public road. A most
scathing denunciation of the chain
gang system is to be found in Judge
Speer's decision, which has been pub
lished in pamphlet form. His account
shows the chain gang to be an inferno,
and it's victims subjected to unspeak-
able brutalities by the worst class of
ruffians who are employed as over
seers. This thing is embodied
in the state law and practfced by
almost every county of the southern
tier OF states. After a thorough review
of the case Judge Speer says: The
prisoner is deprived of his liberty and
subjected to an infamous punishment
without due process OF law and in vio-
lation of the constitution OF the United
States"
He rightly holds that no citizen ought
TO be subjected to such punishment for
trivial misdemeanors, by the decree OF
a petty magistrate. withou. formal ao-
cusation, legal presentment, opportun-
fly to face his accusers, and to present
testimony In his own behalf with the
aid of counsel. An opinion SO clearly
enunciated is likely to have far
reaching effect and is likely to go
far to overthrow the despotic system
now practiced in SO many of the south

Jest thought we'd ask We If We
