coNCUBrNAGE NOT FORBIDDEN

Further ruling the court says:
That history teaches that froua the
birth OF the State up 90 the last SEES
sion OF the Legislature concubinage
with even the jet-black negre was
not forbidden and that to this day
cohabitation with even the jet-bIack
negro is not forbidden except In con
cubinage; and that from 1870 up TO
1894, marriage with the negro was
not only forbidden. but was
legal. d"
Speaking OF the Legislature the
court says; 1T has not deemed the
time ripe for prohibiting cOhabita-
tion even with the pure-blooded ne
gro except in concubinage."
Continuing the court says: The
connection also in which word
is used often operates as a llmita.
ton, or as an enlargement OF its
meaning. Thus, this same word ne
gro. II used in connection with the
social relations of the whites and
negroes and persons Of mixed negro
blood. would certainly convey the
precise and exact meaning OF the
word 'colored' when used in the same
connection; because IL Is known that
socially persons OF mixed coiored
blood are known 10 be classed with
negroes. A notice at the entrance Of
a ballroom that negroes are not ad-
mitted, would certainly mean that
colored persons: that is. persons OF
mixed negro blood. as we'll as ne
groes proper, were not admitted f"
In the dissent decision Justices
Land and Nichols held that IL Is con
ceded that the term person of color"
includes all people OF mixed or an
mixed negro blood.

The court further says: I'VE do
not think there could be any serious
denial OF the fact that in Louisiana
the meaning of the words mulatto.
quadrOon and octoroon are of as def
mite meaning as the words man. or

candid mind must admit that the

an admixture of negro blood; notably
those whose admixture is so slight

MAY PAY DEPOSITORS
Committee Reports FaVorabIy on
Freedman's Bank Bill.

Washington, d. c., May THE
bill 20 pay the depositors OF the
Freedman's Bank, carrying An ap-
preparation OF $1.291.OOO, was favor
ably reported out OF the Committee
on Banking and Currency In the
House today. Three Democratic mem
bers OF the committee-Representa-
tives Gillespie, of Texas; James, OF
Kentucky, and Pujo. OF louisiana
voted against the bill. The Freed
mans Bank was organized in 1865
by prominent Republicans and Abol-
itionists as philanthropic institu-
ton. A charter was granted by the
Federal government, and the bank
established in Washington, where
many millions in deposits were re-
ceived from former slaves in all
parts OF the United States. The orig
inal charter required the bank TO
invest its funds in government bonds
but this was changed by act OF Con
gress in 1871, allowing 1t to invest
in real estate.
The funds were consequently in,
vested in suburban property In the
city OF Washington, and the PANEL
of 1873 drove il to the wall. Butt
60 per cent. of the deposits wereI
paid, and bills have been pending forI
years to reimburse the depositors
who did not receive their money. I'll
was reported favorably from conf
mittee in the Sixtieth Congress. butt
failed to pass.
The proponents OF the bill takeI
the ground that the government hadI
stood sponsor for the institution ini
so many ways that IL could notf
escape a degree OF liability.

Octoroon Is Not a Negro. Says The
United states Supreme Court.

Associate Justice Oliver o. Pro
vosty. OF the Supreme Court of
Louisiana, Monday handed down a
decision in the celebrated concu-
binage case, entitled The State of
Louisiana versus Octave Treadway
and Josephine Treadway." Justice
Provosy Affirming the opinion of
Judge Frank Chretien, of Section b
of the Criminal District Court.
The defendants counsel was Mr..
Logs Charbonnet, who defended the
accused in the Second Criminal Court
and later in the Criminal District
Court.
This case is one OF many months
standing, and attracted more inter
est than any other OF a similar char
acter. The troubles of the Treadway
couple began in the parish OF Pla.
quemine, where the two families
were immediate neighbOrs. The con-
cubinage charge was first preferred
IN the courts Of the lower parish and
after two trials, the accused were al
lowed their liberty. They moved TO
New Orleans and very shortly there
after she prosecution was renewed
WENT TO A HIGHER COURT.
Rather than pass judgment on the
case, having heard OF the proceed ings
IN the lower court, Judge Aucoin
before whom the Treadway couple
were given the first hearing in this
parish. committed the accused to the
Criminal District Court.
On reaching the higher court At.
torney Charbonnet filed a demurrer,
i'm which he maintained that when
the word negro was supplemented by
the words can octoroon." the word
octOrOOn qualified a negative: that
the statute did not define. who. or
what constituted a person Of the ne
gro race, and therefore the law must
be held not TO include persons of
admiNture of blood, however. small.
but was confined TO persons Of the
negro or black race OF the pure blood
and could not be held TO persons OF
admiNture OF blood such as octoroons
quadrOOns, or persons Of one-eiEhth.
one-siXteenth, One-thirty-second or
one-siXty-fOurth or other proportions.
This contention was upheld BY
Judge Chretien and is now affirmed
by the Supreme Court OF Louisiana
Chief Justice Joseph A. Breaux and
Associate Justice Monroe were Of
the same opinion as Associate Justice
Proyosty, who rendered the decision.
Associate Justice Francis T. Mich oils
and Alfred ID. Land rendered dis
senting opinions.
