(News and Courier, 6th.) Somo days ago when Senator B. Tillman strongly donounced the :bitecapping of nogroes in Green w'od, the Rev. J. L. Dart, of this City, wrote him a letter of thanks on sehalf of himself and his race for the strong words of condemnation d denunciation of outrages and . B3esides thanking Sen 'man the writer took Zettor to touch upon of public interest, eing the relations of the S-outhi mnd the future dgro in this country. On oct the Rev. J. Lj. Dart said: ether we be DIemnocrats or Re icans, Southerners or Northern ,white men or black men, there is a common ground upon which we all can stand, and that is our united oflawlessness in our midst, whether -'arried on by whites or blacks, shall Akb put clown and completely b)anished Arom our borders; that the law shall *have its course in every case and in -stance, and every citizen shall have the guaranteed protection of life, liberty and the pursuit of happmoss05. "But11 for myself I have come to believe in the ultimate separation of the races in the South-thie omigra e tion of the race, not so much to Af Lrica as the colonization of our peo Sple in the newly acquired p)ossessions in Cub a arnd Porte Rico and through Sout the North and West. T1h is, of >~"course, cannot b)o done for several yoais to come, but while the negro race ia the South is gaining in edu Scation, wealth and experience, pre paratory for their departure, they s hould have the protection of the law and the generous aid and symn ahy of their white neighbors." ~ othis leiter Senator Tillman re di as follows: - renton, S. C., August 26, 1899. TH GH HAS rid Greater Pains e will be more of gathere The coming fea 'AP ~s we'll hurl the L to clear up, all i :land formerly a' ore for the mone IMNAU( The Rev. J. L. Dart, Charleston, S. C. Doar sir: Your letter of August 19 has boon received. I confess I am both surprised and gratified at having received it. I am only sorry that a badly garbled, and in some respoects a distorted, report of my speech was published in our State papers and sent abroad. I used much strongor language, and my ap peal for justice was nuch broader than what you saw. The corres pondent of the News and Courier, Mr. Kohn, wrote me that his report by mail did not reach the office in time for publication. I am considerod as the arch-enemy of the negroes, or colored people, b)e cause, while Governor, and before, I exerted all the influonco I possessedl for calling a Constitutional Conven tion for the purpose of disfranchis ing them. If you will contrast the condition of the negroes in South Carolina with that in North Carolina and Georgia you will see that there is much more good fooling and less friction here than wvhere political ac tivity and the franchise exists on the basis of manhood suffrage. The11 Phonix riot is directly attributable to the political virus injected into the negroes of that neighborhood by dosigning white mon---tho Tolberts and the recent outrages are the after math. What the ultimate solution of the race problem will be I do not know, but I (10 know that race and caste fooling are inseperablo tbarriors to social and political equality in the South, and that the negro as the wvonker and inferior race will always be the victim of every conflhct by wvhich he seeks, either of his own ac cord or when led by designing whlite men, to break downa those barriers. There is no room in the North. wvest, or opening, for any negro com munities, as you wvill find if you go there to investigate. Thle Northern whites no longer sympathize with~ the ideas wvhich brought on the civil war, as is proved by Governor Tanner's attitude and official action. There may be an opening for a limited number of nogroes in Cuba and Porte Rico, but I think the field in the Philippmnes is alread1y occupied by a race that. would bo more intol erant andl cruel than the whites. LWhVat. the end will be T cannot nay. E RETURN have been spent it, a greater varie d beneath our ' Lure of our fall stuff at you, w must go at some L A. C. Jones' will 1 y than she could iH'S The but this I do know, the negro must remain subordinate or be extormina ted; and I, for one, will always sut my face like flint igainst any injus tico or unfaiiness towards him as long as he remains in his proper sphere and leaves politics alone. The whites are in the ascendency and will remain so whatever comes. And as the -uperior and more civil ized race, they owe it to themselves to protect the negro in his right to "life, libor:y and pursuits of happi ness," oven though that declaration was written by a slavoholder who did not take the negro into consider ation when he wrote it.
