Since allowing the mayor to tako tho bill he had, himself, looked up the laws, as given in Chaso's revised ordinance, and had found, as decided, that the mayor had no authority to pur- chaso except where heads of departments failod to purchase as directed, and that ko had no authority to act as auditor but was sumply required to satisfy himself thata biil was correct beforo signing it.

Adopted, On Gue: Recommending payment of Treasurer Rush, Edward bills of Omaha Gas Co, Adopted. Rosewater and Others, The Decision Pronounced by Resolu- tions to be an AlarmingiOmen, The colored people of this city assem- bled at the court house to hold a discus- sion upon the late decision of the Su- preme Court of the United States in re- Iation to the civil rights bill. Mr. E. R. Ovorall was made chairman of the moet- ing, and W. R. Gamble, secretary. Mr. Edward Rosewater, the editor of Tur Brr, was first called upon for an ad- dress. He sai “I eame to-night at the invitation of your chairman to listen to General Thayer, but I do not fear to express my conviotions upon this matter. [ will al- ways romember that my ancestors were slaves in the land of Egypt, and further- more, that this slavery did not cease when they crossed the Red sea, but con- tinued during the middle ages and even up to this day in many cemmunities looked upon as civilized. Indeed, I re- member that my father told me that when he was a young man people of his taith were compelled to pay toll when- over they passed the gates of Prague, just as if they were horses or cattle. These distinctions, whether they are against creed or race, are crimes against humanity. 1 lived in the South before the war, and many times I was ocom- pelled to sit in first-class cars with negro women who were there as servants to take care of the children of Southern families, but if a free negro dared to thrust his face into a passenger car he waa booted out and ordered to go into the ‘nigger car'—which was about as good asj A CATTLE GAR. Tt was all right for a negro woman or man to travel with gentlemen or ladies, as a slave, but a free negro was offensive and could not ride with white folks. I hold that when a man pays his faro on a public highway he has the right to occupy a seat inany car nomatter what his color. 'Che other day, while travelling, I found the porter of the Pullman car early in the morning lying undressed in one of the berths, That was all right. Nobody objected. But if John M. Langston or Fred Douglas sheuld ask to ride in a aleoper he could not be accommodated, because of his color. I believe that when people are willing to have their children drink from the same fountain with a colored man, they can also take lessons from the same teacher in the same school. Twelve years ago there was a public school kept up in the Third ward exclu- sively for colored children, but in fram- ing the act creating the board of educa- tion I putin a proviso that the Yublic 8ex, color or creed, and the colored chil- dren are now in school with my own. “But,” somebody will ask, *do you expect your daughter to marry a nigger?” This is all bosh. My daughter will prob- ably marry somebody according to her station and social condition. -Civil rights doesn’t mean SOCIAL EQUALITY, There are many white folks with whom I would not associated. But J insist that in public conveyances and public places and public schools there should be no distine- tion, Dwelling upon the decision of the Su- preme Court, Mr. Rosewater referred to the fact that in his memory Salmon P. Chase, the Republican Governor of Ohio, was compolled to execute the fugitive slave law enacted by Congress. The Su- preme Court sustained that act then, and yet now they decree that Congress cannot enforce the rights of colored citizens in the States. The Supreme Court, to say the least, is very ungenerous, Its judges are indebted to the colored race for their positions, for eight out of ten have been appointed since the day of Lincoln hy Republican Presidents, and no Republi- can could have been elected Prestdent without the colored vote. ~ But the Re- publican party of to-day is not what it was in early days -one of universal free- dom. The colored man must act for him- self in enforcing his rights. MR, JOHN RUSH, the county treasurer, was the next speak- er. He made a very eloquent speech, and was frequently interrupted by enthuastic applause. He expressed his wonder and astonishment at the Supreme Court de- cision. He was not prepared for it. He thought that the last cobweb of prejudice and ignorance against the colored people had been wiped out in the best blood of our citizens. He had labored under the impression that he could take his black brother by the hand on perfect terms of equality,butthisdecisionhadsethim 'hink- ing,and he could cometo butone conclusion in regard to the matter—that there was a slight tinge of prejudice in that dec W%enevnr doubt existed in the law, i seemed to be against thecolored man, He failed to see how this discrimination by the Supreme Court could be sustained. Ho advised the colored people not to acthastily, butwith precision and determi- nation, to speak theix sentiments on this question of civil rights, and show the supreme_court that public opinion is against the decision, and that the intent of the law was to give to the colored peo- | so ple all the rights and privileges enjoyed by the whites. Let the colored people meet in every city and every town, and Jot them have the sympathy of the best white citizens, until at last they shall be heard so loud that Congress will be forced to pass & law giving to all, white or black, equal rights and privileges in this Republie. GENERAL THAYER'S SPEECH, General J, M. Thayer,ex-UnitedStates Senator, who came from Cirand Island upon invitation to address the colored people of this city,was introduced by Mr. Overall, He spoke substantially as fol- lows: Mz, Cuatmaan AND Fuiesos: 1 say friends, for I will not address you with words of hypoerisy by calling you fellow- citizens, for when men,guiltless of crime, are denjed any right or privilege guaran: toed to others, the title of fellow-citizens cannot be applied to them. T have but few words to utter to night I came from Grand Island to express uy sympathy with you in this hour of trial, to join with you in denouncing that de- cision to the Supreme Court, which has schools should be free to all, regardless of |- caused you to gather here. How dare youmeet in this temple of justicel How daro you walk and move along the side- walks without fear of being ordered in trom the streets, for the Supreme Court says, in certain respects, that you have no rights which the whits man is bound to respect. The circumstances and facts for such a decision ecall on all people, all classes together, to de- nounce that decision, which is an invas- ion of human rights. It is an insult to the moral sentiment of the American pesple, and I spurn and trample the de cision under foot. Ever since that de- cision was pronounced I have been mad, and T have been getting madder all the time, the more I reflect upon it. * * * For seventeen years I have hved in_the sublime conviction that this was indeed a Republican Government. We have proclaimed to the people of the world that this is a Republican Government, and that beneath the protecting folds of its glorious flag the rich and the poor, the white and tha black, are equal in the presence and majesty of the law. The Su- preme Court, however, says nay! That is all A OHEAT AND A LIE! It is not the first time that a decision of the supreme court court has shocked the world. Twenty-five or thirty years ago a decision came from out the dark recesses of tho supreme court declaring that colored men had no rights which men were bound to respect. It came from Chief Justice Taney, who sat on that bench for twenty years after he was P 3 . o Infants and Children Without Mor-hine or Narcotine, What gives our Children rosy cheeks, What cures their fovers, mukes them sleep; "Tis_C nstorin. ¥hen Bablea fret, and ory by turns, Whiat curea their colic, kills their worma, But _Castoris, What quickly cures Constipation, Sour Stomach, Colds, Indigestion ; Rat Cnstorin.

Certain men, clothed in black, proclaimed that doctrine to the world. That decision planted seed from which germinated this last decision. To-day, in this enlightened ago of the world, when universal liberty prevailed in this land and no man's rights ques- tioned 8o long as he obeyed the law, we are told that the colored race has no rights, in certain respects, which the white man is bound to respect. The de- cision of the Supreme Courton this ques- tion should have been in accordance with the universal sentiment of the people. The fourteenth amendment declares that no right, civil or political, shall be denied to any man on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. It was passed to protect the colored man from invasion of their rights in any respect. Charl s Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens helped to frame that law and pass it, and they believed their object had been achieved. L now come to the question as a prac- tical one—the right to travel in a public conveyanse, to stop at a public inn, or visit & public place of amusement. 1 say that is a civil mght. A public inn is for the accommodation of those who travel or those who want a temporary home. It is open to all, and any man, white o1 black, who enters a hotel, who is decent in behavior and appearance, conforms to the rules of the house, and pays his bill, has a right there, and when he en- ters a place of amusement, a theatre or a church, he has the same rights there as any other man. When the Supreme court says there is no power to protect him in these rights, it pronounces a SENTENCE OF DEGRADATION on the colored race. The veriest b'ack- guard and pimp can enter hotels and travel on the cars and none can molest him, but because a mai has a darker skin than himself, a landlord or conductor can exclude him. If a colored man enters a church where devout people worship, if they don’t exclude him, they will put him in one corner, where he can look on. T say out upon this atrosious doctrine! Wo had come to believe that we had achieved the grand purpose of this free and equal republic according to the dec- laration of independence. ~ This nation AGHINES IS ENTIRELY The Product of American Industry !

Booth’s ‘Qnyal’ Brand went through strife and civil war to save the Union and establish a Republican government, which we never had un- til the war came. There can be no Republican government where slavery is tolerated. It required the awful visita- tion of war to bring this nation to a sense of its duty to the colored race. The war came as a punishment upon this nation for the great crime of tolerating human slavery. We declared that you should be free? The sublime proclamation was issued to all the world that never more should sun shine on a slave on American s0ill We spoke tho words to your race in bondage to come forth into the bright sunlight of HUMAN LIBERTY, to be men and woman with us; that the crime of alavery should be tolerated no longer; that you and your race should re- joice; that the day of jubilee had come; that Ged'’s people were free! Now, to hear this assertion! For seven- teen years we have been hugging the de- lusion that this is a free nation and that all men are equal before the law. Now we are told that certain rights are with- held from the cclored race. 1 denouce that decision as unworthy of the Supreme Court and an insult to the American peo- ple. 1 will respect no decision that tramples on human rights, * * * Iowa made a true republican amid the scenes of blood and carnage. I hed nine regiments in my command, three were colored troops, and three were Indiuns. The Indians were not worth a continental brass teapot. The colored troops were equal to the whites in every respect. They were notlong in learning the tactics, and they went into battle fighting like devils, There and then I said to myself that the man who fights by my side shall yote by my side. In conclusion, General Thayer again denounced the decision as an outrage,and he said that another amendment must be demanded and secured—an amendment that would put the matter beyond the guwer of even the judges clothed in lack.
