I C. LEE S
Let me relate a story that was toM
in congressional circles when I first
came to this low n forty years ato.
lihmchc K. liruce. a bright mulatto
man a veiy handsome man, was a
Senator in Conuress from Mississippi.
He was one of less than half a dozen
Senators who were intimate with Ito-1

ihe Hon. Jerry on crave matters of
state. Jerry was a cornfield negro,
and black ns the ace of spades.
There is in this town a colored 4'0
ihat is simply out of sight. It h
the verv quintessence of caste, and
nothing' in Philadelphia, or old Vir
ginia, is a marker to it in the way
of cxclusiveness. Hy some sort of
ridiculositv the Hon. Jerry was invit
