ANOTHER EXPLANATION.

In order that the race may see Just
how matters stand at present. 1 give
portions OF letters received on the
subject
In a recent letter, CONGRESSMAN
ROdenberg says:
LAS you are probably aware. my
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of "a preliminary commission
TO investigate the question OF the
advisability of holding an exposition
to commemorate the semi-centennial
of the Negroes freedom in America
was defeated on Monday. as il failed
TO get the necessary twO-thirds vote.
The vote stood iS9 to ST. The votes
in opposition 10 the resolution came
entirely from the Democratic side. /
will state, however. that we have no
particular reason to feel discouraged
II Is my purpose 10 bring out a bill
at the short session providing for
holding an exposition OF this kind
and securing consideration on Cal
endar Wednesday, when only a ma
jority viii be necessary to pass the
bill I believe 1t will be an easy mat
ter to get this majority in a Repub-
lican Congress

Tie said further

Everybody was armed wiki shot
guns. They had the women and chill
dren an punched up In places and
were guarding them. Many people
were SO scared and excited that they
could hardly tell their own names.
The people right around Slocum
and Denison Springs were not in the
mob. but this other gang had been
sending out scary reports that hun
dredS of negroes armed 20 the teeth
were coming from Cherokee county.
They telephoned me early yesterday
morning that two hundred negroes
were az Denison Springs heavily
armed, and when We got there we
found one negro. and he was not
armed, but he was badly scared.
If reports that I have had given
TO me are TO be credited there must
be fifteen or twenty dead. all OF them
negroes.
III will be difficult TO find out Just
how many were killed, because the
dead are scattered all over the woods.
Some will probably never be found
Arrests have been made and eight
OF the lynchers are in Jail. charged
with first degree murder. The better
element OF white people are evidently
ashamed OF this record. These reports
have gone over the whole civilized
world and as a result, emigration
70 the southern states will be check
ed. No man Will want 10 go where
human life is so cheap and where the
sworn officers of the law are only
able to act after dozens of dead men
have been left as prey for the buzz
yards.
There are some people, who advo-
cate this defenseless condition on the
part OF cOlOred people in order to pre-
vent the slaughter of more of them.
We have never been able to subscribe
to this phase OF the question. Negro
hunts are popular because they are
hardly ever dangerous. The women
at home are not narrowed and un-
easy for fear that their fathers, hus-
bands and brothers may be injured
In the contest.
They know that the end will be
dead Negroes and live white men.
They know too that post norton ar
rests are useless expenditure of
time and money on the part OF the
state and that other white men and
women will come to the relief OF the
murderers and defray the expense of
the trial, even if liberal minded, JUS
tice loving white men are intent upon
securing a conviction OF the guilty
parties.
