STATE RIG UTS DEMOCRAT.
From the Memphis Bulletin, February 13
THE SEGnO RACES KILLED BY
KIM).i:Si. ;
If all this Northern sympathy for tlie
colored people, ns illustrated in Harper's
Journal of Civilization, was not provoked
bv hatred for whites, there would be uo
differences as to the measures of public
policy affectins tin condition and rights
of negroes. No one would re-enslave
them. . The end is not more desirable
than . possible. There is no enmity be
tween the races, save that engendered by
competition among laborers. . This is uec
essarily confined to cities. The mistake
made by ConcTess consists in the fact
that it bases its action on a supposed
.and unreal relation of races. The object
cof Trumbull's bill is to protect nejrroes
against wrongs practiced by Southerners,
This may be well enough, since there are
bad men in all countries. But this should
not be the whole scope and purpose of
Congressional frceduien's codes. The
blacks mainly need protection against
their chiefest benefactors.
Negro graves are counted by the acre
in and around this city. When Liberty
first gathered them in its fold, they died
s too rapidly for grave-digsers. EncoCiued
fftey were borne from hovels and hospit
als, i. Like De , boto, their uneofhned
bodies found resting 'places in the bosom
of Jhe Great River. There is no regis
ter of births and deaths. lew are born
and lnianta nearly all perish. c are
p tola that twelve hundred blacks were fro
l iea to death on President's Island, while
agent3 of " civilization " were tailing to
promote their intelligence. The thous
ands that were buried in a feiuirle trench
at Helena should have some memorial to
their benefactors, lifting its form of spot
less marble to the very mid heavens.
....We should have "their rights protect
, ed against all aggressors by national pow
er." Tell us, some sane man, who are
these aggressors ? The bureau is deem
ed the benefactor of the black race. It
lias paved' wells in Columbus, Miss., with
bones of uegTO infants. Negro women, iu
v pursuit of negro soldiers, abandon the
lielpless children and aged parents to
famine and death. If extinction of the
v race be the word of charity and love, nev
. r was a scheme of beuevoleuceso ueeess
e fnl as that which has been practiced to-
-iward the blacks for the past three years.
Thus far, every act of nom
inal beneficence has been one of bar-M-
barity. The black population of these
States is a million less than it would have
' been without a war. Civilize, educate,
- clothe and feed the negro, and then talk
"about Tils investure with all the rights of
citizenship. But do not kill him with
.kindness. lie has borne enough for the
present. ' .
Negro Par a disk, A letter from
t ; Washington represents that city as a very
heaven upon earth to " American citizens
of African scent;" even without the priv-
3 ilege of voting. The writer states thtt
xt Negroes and negressea crowd into the
ladies' gallery in both Houses of Congress, :
and fill up the peats so that there is no
Voora for ladies, unless they will conset 1 3 j
sit beside or behind the blacks. Negroes i
xt s and negresses crowd into the Etret cars!

Beat to a white person, but uniformly re
fuse : to do to whenever requested. I
have on numberless occasions , recently,
.Been half a dozen ladies standing in, a car
for long distances, while the same number
5- : i.ef big negroes of both bcx jb, were occu
pying theWata. Nothing pleases the ne
groes BO much, as to see ladies thus stand--
. ing in the cars, while they themselves
' are lolling at their ease on the comforta
ble cushions. It is no use for the con-
i doctors to remonstrate with them, because
the eompanies, by an act of Congress, are
compelled to earry negroes, and are for-
fciddehl 'under heavy penalties, to make
any distinction between them and white
ople.
' But this is cot all. The heavy taxes
which the people are compelled to pay,
are applied in part to the support of these
very negroes Tha report of the Freed

America as now exists in one of the States
of this Union, a State represented in the
Senate and House, and ouc in which law

To the Constable of Pponccr Township, in Pike
County, U reeling:
"Whereas, .James S. Strothcr, of Pike
County, hath this day given information
upon oath to me, William Wilson, a Jus
tice of the Peace within and for the coun
ty of Pike, that on the 4th day of Janua
ry, Injo. at the Kose School house, in
l ike county, he heard Parson James F.
Smith exhort or teach a discourse of re
ligious services, aud information having
been given by several other persons that
the said James F. Smith has performed
the duties of a minister of the Gospel:
These are therefore to command you forth
with to apprehend the said James F.
Smith, and bring him before me at the
Kim ( i rove School house, on the 8th day
of January, 1BC6, to answer the com
plaint, at the hour of twelve of the clock
of that diy, and further to be dealt with
according to law.
Given under my hand this Gth day o"
January, 1SG6.
William Wilson, J. P.
We do solemnly assure our readers
that on the Mondav following the date of
this writ, the llev. James F. Smith, a
good Baptist clergyman, in a small couu-
try village m Missouri, was arrested on
this warrant, brought before the court,
and at our latest accounts, was on trial for
the offense of rREACiii.NU the Gospel,
as stated in the warraut.
We shall not attempt to arouse indig
nation by comment oa this fact. Its na
ked simplicity is overwhelming. The
warrant itself sounds like a pa'ssasre out of
the history of Claverhouse. The Consti
tution of Missouri, recent constructed by
the Iladicals of that State, and adopted
with the aid of Mr. Stanton, and the mil
itary forces placed at their disposal by
him. makes this warrant iawful, according
to radical law. There is uo dispute about
the legahtv of it. rheie it stands, black
ening forever the page ot American his
tory in the year 186(5, the monument of
ltadieahsm triumphant.
A Missouri Radical Congressman.
The St. Joseph Herald, a Radical or
gan of the intenscst stripe, deservedly
castigates lien. Loan, the Representative
from thatJMstrict, who votes with the
Radical members iu Congress on all ques
tions, lie is a fine specimen of Radical
hypocrby. He, like all of them, profess
es to be greatly concerned about the wel
fare of the negro j when, in reality, he
has no sympathy with them. The Herald
give3 him the following flattering notice:
charlotte .Loan, a colored woman of
about 22 years of age, died in this city a
few days ago,, and was buried by the
charity of the colored people. This wo
man was formerly the property of Ben
Loan, who misrepresents this district in
Congress. She had toiled many a long
daywithout compensation, for her hard
hearted matter, and when she came to
die after a lingering illness, Mr. Loan al
lowed her to be eared for and consigned
to her last resting place by the constribu
tions of her poor colored friends. Com
ment is unnecessary. It is but character.
istic of the man. He could take the poor
woman's earnings for years, until the
emancipation ordinance unloosed her
shackles, but never a cent would he give
to bury her. v "-'-"'. 1 ; .

mover of the bill, Mr. Fillmore, is a great
wag, as evinced by the lollowing extract
from his speech on that subject: "The
speaker proceeded to review the present
system of collecting debts. . It was all a
humbug and a cheat, a matter ot tech
nicalities and legal shuffling. Lawyers
gave advice in order to obtain fees and
encourage litigation. Judges made blun
ders and mistakes. He had n little expe
rience in law and that was rich. Laugh
ter. He would give a history of it.
The speaker then related how he had pur
chased a yoke of oxen about fifteen years
ago paid fifty dollars for them a few
days after the son of the man of whom he
had bought tho oxen came to him and
said the oxen were his. lie iusisted on
having pay over again, and commenced a
suit before a Justice. The jury didn't
aurroo. Finallv, through the Basswood
J usticc of the IVace, the case went against
him. He appealed it to the Circuit Court
in Milwaukie. There I lost again, and
said to my lawyer: I will give you ten
dollars to quote Pennsylvania law to
Judge Miller, and jret a new trial ordered.
(Great Laughter.) He took the ten dol
lars and performed his duty. A new trial
was then granted, and the venue changed
to Walworth countv. Judire Irwin was
then the Judire. Any man who wauted
to train a cause in his Court, had cither to
ro hunting with him and let theJtidre
claim all the game that was shot, or else
pat his dog. I patted his dog. LauVh-
ter. I fed that dog. Renewed Laugh
ter. Ihe cause was decided in my favo
When I heard the decision, I thouglj

enough. I turned round aud gave him a

had hardly subsided ere I heard ihe Judge
say: "Mr. Clerk, this judgment is set
aside and a new trial granted." Great
Laughter. Mr. Speaker, that kick cost

have no doubt seen a suit in a Justice's
