the negroes North. He knew that he
would be prosecuted. Feeling ran
high; he was certain to face preju-
diced jury and a hostile judge. He
was convicted and heavily fined. A
| country physician. he owned a small
farm fairly stocked. All his property
was not worth over $4,000. The
Quaker meeting and political friends
offered to pay the fine.
HE summarily refused to let them
do it, saying: Nay. nay, the fine will
not be paid. Let the law take it's
course, and the fine be collected un.
der the law The fine was collected.
and large part of his stock, horses
and cattle was levied upon by the
sheriff and sold to the highest bidder,
until the last cent of fine and cost
was satisfied.
THE, first victim Of the black laws
was the second Governor Of Illinois.
Gov. Coles. He was a STAKEHOLDER in
Virginia, but when he emigrated to
the West be brought his slaves with
MN, freed them, gave them land and
helped them in their new life. During
his administration a movement was
started for constitutional convention
to repeal the clause prohibiting slav-
cry In the State. The governor took
an active part in defeating the agita-
ton and contributed his whole salary
to the campaign. This activity so
enraged the pro-slavery men that he
was tried. convicted and heavily fined
for paying wages to his former slaves
The Legislature RENTED the govern
ors fine. but the Circuit Court held
that the Legislature exceeded it's au-
thority. Later the Supreme Court Of
the State overruled the lower court
and reversed the decision.
"All this reminds me of another

story about old Dick Oglesby, gov
crnor and Senator. the man who called
down damnation on the Copperheads
of Charleston. When he was boy
his father, planter and large slave
holder in Kentucky, died leaving his
estate heavily involved, and the slaves
were sold at auction. The boy was
greatly depressed when his favorite,
Nose, was put up for sale. Nose was
a merry laughing giant, but now he
broke down and cried like a child.
Dick rushed up to the block and asked
why he was crying. 'Oh. Dick. Use
gwine to be sold down the ribber, and
I'll neber see Mandy and my pick
aninnies any mo- They sha'n't sell
YOU down the river the boy shouted.
III buy you myself And he turned
to the auctioneer to make a bid, but
the family had nothing left.
"For many years Ogesby was too
busy earning living to think much
about Nose. He worked about a liv-
cry stable in Illinois, picked up a little
schooling. Joined the Army and fought
gallantly in the Mexican War, caught
the gold fever and became a forty
miner in California, and came back
to Decatur a rich man. Oglesby then
recalled his promise to buy Nose. The
negro was on plantation in Ken
lucky and was about to be sold again.
but he was old and practically worth
less. Oslesby bid more than Nose
was worth in his best days. He then
paid visit to his slave, manumitted
him. purchased little plot of ground
with a comfortable cabin and left
enough money with friend to see
that the old negro should be COM
Portable as long as he lived.
"Old Dick was a wonderfully in
teresting man, and the last time / saw
him was few weeks before he died
AS we walked to the elevator in the
Congress Hotel. Chicago, he turned to
me with, Joe, don't it beat the devil

employing a negro, unless tho negro
prior to the employment had given
