The Passing Throng<\/strong>
\n Saw it in the Times: Damn Lie<\/strong>
\n…The Times shows its antipathy for justice being given the colored man by hoping the conditions that prevailed in Washington would not extend to the South, where the
\ncolored man is in the majority. In heaven’s name why does the Times, or any Christian citizens, want to protect the South in its barbaric treatment of the colored man? It is unfortunate, if such scenes had to be, that they did not occur in Vicksburg,
\nMississippi, where a few days ago thousands of white men and women dug a hole in the ground and buried a colored man, all but his head and then, after tantalizing a vicious bulldog to a frenzied state, put him in the iron cage that covered the head of the doomed man and then danced with delight while the maddened brute tore the man’s tongue and eyes out and likewise scalped him. It’s too bad, it is repeated, that the streets of Vicksburg were not flooded with human gore and her buildings consumed with flames. Oh, horrors of horrors, such a city should have been sunk by a frowning God and a second Dead Sea occupy its place. – Clayton’s Weekly<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
