This is the conviction of the most advanced engineering minds, who have given the subject careful consideration. Colored Ministers of Newnan, (la.. Denounce Acts of Violence and Crime by Members of Their Race as Well as Deplore Lynching;. t New York Suu.) At a meeting of ministers of the African Methodist Church inXewnan, (ia., the scene of the lynching of Sam Hose, some resolutions were passed which may bo commended to the consideration of colored ministers and men in all parts of the South, kspecially noteworthy among those resolutions are these:" n 'We condone no crime neither do we wish to shield criminals from any crime for which they deserve punishment ; "We have no toleration for crimi nals who commit crime and heap i disaster upon our race: t W. . I it. in ii .. in lit,. v.i-k cimr. . . V . .,. .... ,vt, Ullllj- est terms those creatures of our raco w ho are so depraved in their nature and become so reckless as to invade the sanctity of the home and destroy the priceless virtue of woman: I We believe the (iosind of the Sun of (iod and the teachings of the sacred Scriptures by His servants will do more to cheek lawlessness and crime than any other agency." Finally, the Xewnau colored minis ters "call iinn their teacher and ministry to lav aside their jetty jealousies of church and race and link their efforts with those of the white race to hold up the niajestv of the law, to increase the industry and commerce of their country, that peace and prosperity may abound in its borders."1 It is charged and believed by the white people of the South that almost in no case whatever is any help given to them by the colored people to bring to justice a colored man guilty of the crime which is so frequently the cause of lynching. Practically the criminal is abetted by members of his own race. Ho tinU at least it temporary concealment ong them. Kither from fear or from sympathy they do not inform the officers of the law of his wherc- ibouts. Apparently he is not re garded bv his fellows as a criminal owed to justice, but as a negro en titled to be hidden and sheltered. This seemingly inveterate reluc tance of the majority of the Southern negroes to assist in the punishment of the crime which is most hideous and horrible in the eyes of the whites and the fear of which hangs iier- K-tually over the white women in the thinly settled dirtricts, embitters the whites against the negroes as a class. It is as if the whole race made itself an accomplice after the fact. mi1 VicW MfcsUa $ Si'Iifc ravishers usually seek to deny or minify the crime. Ihus, m the case of Sam Hose, who ravished a white woman after murdering her husband before her eyes, several colored cor respondents of the Sun, men of edu cation, too, have doubted the facts and assumed that the crime was im probable. L'nfortunatcly the weight of evidence is that Sam Hose was guilty; and whatever brutality of punishment was inflicted upon him, ' liis defenders do not do a service to their race by cavilling at facts which may seem too terrible to believe, but are not too terrible to be true. Xo matter how many acts of in justice, how many causeless out rages, how mary political crimes to negroes have been do i by the whites, there is one dreadful line to which the Southern negro ..t the savage type is prone. Uni- s. -e testimony of the Southern wlii: to be llatly set aside, the crime i not regarded by the Southern negroes with abhorrence enough to induce them to be active in bringing the criminal to justice. Thus the Northern apol ogist denies the crime; the Southern negroes, as a class, show no reproba tion of it. Whatever bo the faults of the? Southern whites and to whatever excesses of savagery they may have been led in the panic of a terror which haunts their homes, they are not to be blamed for being dissat istied with the general apathy of the Southern negro, with the general denial and denunciation which are the answer of the Northern negro when some negro ravisher is lynched. It is for the Southern negroes ami the Northern negroes to admit in controvertible facts, to try to civilize and Christianize the desM.-radoes who dishonor the race, to show no sympathy, active or passive, with the crime. It may be said, indeed, that this is sometimes only a pretence and that innocent men have been hanged for it. (iranted; but at least the colored citizens can strive to dim inish the number of the guilty. Stern condemnation of the crime, refusal to shield the criminals, th inculcation not of mere emotional ! seiitimeiitalism miscalled religion, ! but of the pure morality of the j (iospel, and co-ojx.ration with the whites, to maintain tin; laws ana to promote the good of the community.
