” THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. Sensible Conclusions Arrived by In- telligent Colored Men. From the St, Joseph Advance, edited by i a colored Man. In our last issue we announc that we would give our the Civil Rights bill, and the decision thereon by the Court of the United States. not believe that the bill was in good faith toward the man. We beleye that the tors and abvocates of it knew they proposed it, and had it enacted, that it would never be entorced. It was brought into existence trom ex- treme political necessity. The Re- publican party had just emerged from a political contest im which they were driven to the most extreme measures to continue their hold on the Government, which was complished only by the vote of Judge Bradley as a member of the Elector- al Commission. ‘This Brad- ley is the man who now prepares the opinion of the Court in the cases just We have declared ourself and we .. opinion e do WwW passed | colored origina- when up- ac- same decided. independent in politics, de Democrat to himself into the belief, this, that we intend to Jrun We interest yn’t want any delude v ocr paper in the and are trving as best we canto ex- political pape of our race, pose every attempt of any party to make a too! out of the negro tor the sole of furthering their own selfish thoughts. We believe the Republicans no more use for the negro than Democrats have, and that if we ad- vance and progress in wealth and in- telligence, we must do so by our own energies and industries; we must learn ro do our own thinking. As we said above, we belive the Civ- il Rights bill was only passed as bait to catch the colored man’s vote, be en- purpose have a and was never intended to forced. Congress can’t pass a giving a man respectability; a man s he deserves to and law will command respect : it. The colored man is entitled the same rights as a white man, and that is all therights we ‘The Civil Rights bill ‘ more rights which to no more, ought to ask. purported to giv than the thinking colored man able to see was a fraud on and only intended to tickle and ter the negroes to secure their port. The negroes have been voting the Republicans inte power eyer since we have had the right of suf- trage,and we have received for our party loyalty iust such sweetened swil! as this Civil Rights bill. The course for the colored people to pursue, in our judgement, 1s to maintain our independence, cultivate habits of industry, look well to the education and culture of our children and shun, as we would a rabid ani- mal, every designing politician or political party that seeks, by soothing and seductive flattery, to capture the colored man’s vote. The colored people are interested more in securing homes, churches, school houses, comfortable clothing books, and the comforts, conven- iences, and necessaries of life than they are inpolitics. We have been held to be as completely the com- mon property of the Republican par- ty, aswe have been taught that the Democratic party is our common en- emy. him man, ought its face, flat- sup- white any be " OPINIONS OF EMINENT COLORED MEN. The Civil Rights bill, which has been declared unconstitutional by «ight out of nine of the judges ot the supreme court has caused great ex- <itement among our people, they having believed that they were pro- tected thereby. While speaking to Mr. James Trent regarding the recent decision of the supreme court in relation to the Civil Rights bill, he said; “I can very readily see that the bili was un- constitutional, as cengress had not the power to pass such a law, and I thnk that no better time tor it to re- veal itself to our people than the present, before the opening of the presidential campaign.”” W.

While in Yuman two of his men spent a month in the Black Flag camp. He also met the chief, who holds a commission in the Chinese army. The Black Flags received exaggerated reports concerning the French losses at Hanoi, but correct reports concerning the Chinese loss are stated in my dispatches. He says that if prisoners fall into the hands of the Black Flags they will be reseryed for torture, but the bod- tes of the dead will not be found, as the Chinese believe that eating the flesh ot ferocious men makes them brave, especially the heart and liver Theretore, they are accustomed a eat th€ir enemies. The Black Flags are strongly addicted to this habit-— | they even eat their own people who cident on the march. This may account for the ill success which ! attended the search tor the bodies of H Rivere and his followers, heads alone were found on the last sortie by General Bouet. He re- gards fighting the Black Flags as fighting the Chinese army ona small scale. The Chinese undoubtedly furnished arms, ammunition and men to perpetuate the harrrassing war upon the French in Tonquin. The French orginally made such a bugbare of the Black Fags that the Chinese considered it worth their while to keep up their hostile organi- zation by a subsidy as long as they continued the war with the French. At that time they numbered only 1,500 men; now they can put 3,000 in the field and still garrison the strongholds. My informant. consid- ers the Black Flags to be the best and bravest branen of all the Chi- nese soldiers.
