injury. Il would be without prece-
dent. for Il may be safely asserted
that never before in the history OF
civilization has a legislative body
been invited 20 require men accused
OF crime TO prove their innocence be
fore a hostile Judge who has already
adjudged them guilty; and never be-
fore has there been a suggestion that
any man worthy 10 sit in judgment
upon the rights OF his countrymen
would accept such a duty IL assigned
him, II conscious OF having the
slightest prejudice against the &C
cused.
BY what right does the Senator
from Missouri assume that the Pres
ident is capable OF such a manifest
| improperly?
The vilest horse thief, the most
dangerous burglar, or the bloOdiest
murderer would not be required eth
er TO prove his innocence or to sub
NIT TO a trial before a judge who had
in even the most casual way express
ed the opinion that the defendant
was guilty.
Such a performance would be just
" denounced as a denial of one OF
the most sacred rights OF citizenship
and a lasting disgrace to the judge
who perpetrated II.
Who are these men that II should
be even suggested that they should
be treated worse than common crimi-
mails?
They are at once both citizens and
soldiers of the Republic. Aside from
these charges, which they deny, their
behavior, both in the Army and out
OF 1t, has justly excited the highest
commentator. Their record is with
out spot or blemish
They are typical representatives OF
race that has ever been loyal TO
America and American institutions;
race that has never raised a hostile
hand against our country's flag: a
race that has contributed TO the ma
ton tens of thousands of brave de-
Tenders, not one OF whom has ever
turned traitor or faltered in his a.
deity.
In every war in which we have
permitted them TO participate they
have distinguished themselves for eff
ficiency and valor. They have shed
their blood and laid down their lives
In the fierce shock of battle, side by
side with their white COMRADES.
They are the direct and worthy
successors Of the brave men VINO so
heroicly died at Petersburg. at Wag-
ner, and on scores of bloody fields
that this nation might live
Faithfully, uncomplainingly, with
pride and devotion, they have per-
formed all their duties and kept all
their obligations.
They ask no fayors because they
are Negroes. but only for justice be-
cause they are men. Applause in
the galleries.
