They used to drum up and down the roads with their fifes and their gleaming bayonets, equipped with new Spring- field rifles and dressed in the regula tion uniform. It was lawful, I sup- po c e. but these negro soldiers or this negro militia—for they were never soldi Lira—growing more and more bold, let drop talk among themselves where the white children might hear their purpose, and it came to our ears. This is what they said: The President Is our friend. The North is with us. We intend to kill ail the white men, take the land, mar ry the white women, and then these white children will wait on us. Those fellows forgot that these were in South Carolina some forty- odd thousand ex-Confederate soldiers, men who had worn the gray on a hun dred battlefields; men who had charg ed breastworks defended by men In blue; men who had defended lines of In blue; cover and begin to move forward again along the paths of development and progress; and In consequence of the white men interpreting the word “liberty” to means the liberty of white people and not the license of black ones, the State Is In the very vanguard of Southern progress, and can point to the result as the abso lute justification for every act which we performed in ’76, however lawless our acts may be in the eyes of the Senator fro mWisconsin. South Carolina and Louisiana were the two last States to throw off the blood sucking vampriers which had been set over them by the recon struction acts. I would not have tried to do more than to give a statement of facts the other day, but I was not permitted to db so. I was ordered to take my own time, and I am now taking It in ans wer. * / Now, Mr. President, a word about lynching and mv attitude toward It. A great deal has been said In the newspapers. North and South, about mv responsibility In connection with tht~ matter. Mv position has been There are written laws and unwritten laws, and the unwritten laws are al ways the very embodiment of savage justice. The Senator from Wisconsin is incapable of understanding condi tions in the South or else he has lost those natural impulses which for cen turies have been the characteristics of the race to which we belong. Tacitus tells us that the “Germanic people were ever jealous of the virtue of their women.” Germans. Saxons, Englishmen, they are practically one, springing from the same great root. That trinity of words, the noblest and holiest in our language, womanhood, wifehood, motherhood, have Saxon origin. I believe with Wordsworth— it is my religion— A mother Is a mother still, the no blest thing alive. And a man who? speaks with light ness or flippancy or discusses cold- alone can furnish legal evidence, and i make her testify to the fearful ordeal through which she has passed, under going a second crucifixion? That is what the Senator from Wisconsin says he would do. and he is welcome to all the honor he can get out of It. Our rule is to make the woman wit ness, prosecutor, judge, and jury. I have known Judge Lynch’s court to sit for a week while suspect after sus pect has been run down and arrested, and In every instance they were brought into the presence of the vic tim. and when she said. “That is the man,” civilization asserted itself, and death speedv and fearful, let me say —certainly speedy—was meted out I have never advocated, I have de precated and denounced, burning for this or anv other crime.
