Shreveport, La., March 7.—As Senators Ingalls, Chandler and others of their class seem to have devoted their energies to the ferreting out of “Southern outrages,” so called, apd publishing to the world their miracu-lous finds, I desire to report one of the most aggravated outrages ever perpetrated in the South. In October, 1888, a conductor o.) one of the railways entering Shreve-port, La., kicked from a train moving at the rate of 30 miles per hoar, a young negro, who, the conductor thought was trying to beat his way for a few miles on” the line, but was wil-ling, when detected in the attempt, to pay his fare. In falling from the train the negro sustained the fracture of a leg and arm, and, being unable to walk, laid where he had fallen from 8 o’clock at night until 11 o’clock of the next day, when a chance passer-by found and took charge of him. This is a genuine “Southern out-rage,” but I fear Messrs. Ingalls, Chandler et al. cannot make the use of it which would serve their purpose best when I state that the conductor was a white republican from Chicago, 111. The victim of this “Sorthern out-rage,” after lying for six months in the Shreveport Charity Hospital, a democratic institutian, free to white and black alike, and after being at-tended daily by democratic white doctors, whose services are given free of charge to the inmates thereof, finally recovered sufficiently to “hob-ble around” to the office of a demo-cratic lawyer to seek legal aid and ad-vice looking to the recovery of dam-ages from the railway company. His lawyers filed suit against the company, claiming $15,000 for injuries sus-tained by their client, and after the delays incident to the law,a verdict was had at the hands of a jury awarding this republican negro $7,500. The worst feature of tMs horribie outrage, however, remains to be told, and I dis-like very much to make the disclosure, out of respect for the sensibilities of the aforementioned “sentimentalists.” But, fiat justitia, rua.t coelum! The integrity of history must be maintain-ed at whatever cost. The attorneys for the railroad company, after enter-ing a peremptory challenge to every negro on the regular venire, and, mind you, a venire one-half of which were negroes, elected by democratic white jury commissioners, finally succeeded in securing a jury composed of twelve good white democratic bulldozers. Af-ter a mature consideration of the evi-dence, elicited from the aforesaid dem-ocratic doctors, and two or three com-panions who were with the plaintiff at the time the outrage was committed, and after further hearing the law ap-plicable to the case, as expounded by a democratic judge, had the exceeding bad taste to further contribute to the consummation of the outrage by award-ing the damages as above stated to this republican negro plaintiff. Con-sidering the fact that this particular negro would have sold, in ante-bellum times, for from $500 to $1500, it is a little curious to know by what reason-ing process those 12 bulldosers reach-ed the conclusion that the loss of an arm and leg in these latter days should be worth $7500. The verdict of only nine of the twelve jurors was neces-sary to secure a judgment for the ne-gro, and the attorneys for the railroad company, thinking that probably a mistake had been made, insisted on having the jury “polled,” which Sc-tion resulted in the further outrage, that the sentiment of the entire 12 was unanimous in the assessment of the injury done to plaintiff at $7,500. I regret very much that this verdict was rendered too late for Mr. Ingalls’ use in his celebrated speech in the United States senate, but it may ad-dress itself to Mr. Vest as being use-ful in his contemplated reply to the doughty senator from Kansas. The statement of facts herein presented, which so amply illustrates the charac-ter of the outrages perpetrated on the ignorant negro in the South, can be verified by reference to the iecords of the district court of Bossier parish, La., by application to Judge Boone, of the district court, or to any reputable cit-izen of that parish.—Correspondence of the St. Louis Republic.
