Glassick justice of the peace at Argenta, before whom Mr. John Drees of the city was brought on a charge of violating the civil rights act, discharged defendant, as was mentioned in yester- day's paper. The reasons assigned by the justice for this are thus given: First-- That an absolute refusal did not take place. The testimony went to show that Johannessen and the negro Robin- son went into the saloon and asked for drinks, and a boy who was behind the counter asked them to step to the other side of the ice-box. The justice says it was not shown that there were one or two counters; that Johannessen called for different drinks from that of Robinson, and the justice could not tell whether whisky was sold over one counter and ber over another. They were not asked to go to another room, or out of the room, nor were they refused drinks, and consequently the justice holds that the civil rights act was not violated. Second-- No money was tendered for the drinks, an absolute requisite under the civil rights bill in order to make out the case. For these reasons defendant was dis- charged."],"dc_format":["image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":["Fayetteville, Ark. : University of Arkansas Libraries"],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Arkansas Gazette"],"dcterms_subject":["African Americans--Arkansas","Civil rights--Arkansas","Race discrimination--Arkansas","Segregation--Arkansas"],"dcterms_title":["Civil Rights - The Case of John Drees"],"dcterms_type":["StillImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

Last Thursday night, Senator R.A. Dawson, james R. Roland county clerk; W.H. Furbursh, member of the lower house of the general assembly and L.S. Wheeler, all colored men, went into the open-house saloon, situated on the first floor of Wood's Grand opera-house, on Mainstreet, and demanded a drink. The bar-tender, W.O. Baugh, informed them that it was against the rules of the house to give colored men drings, and that he would not do it. Senator Dawson took the case into court, no doubt proposing to make a test case out of it, and it came up before Squire Pears, yesterday, and the merits of the case were discussed before a jury by Col. Robert A. Howard, for the de- fendant, and V.M. McGebee, a white member of the senate, for the plaintiff. The witnesses in the case were R.A. Dawson, James R. Roland, W.H. Fur- bush and L.S. Wheeler all of whom ap- peared with the exception of Furbush. The following ar the names of the jurors: L.G. Berry, foreman; J.M.S. White, C. C. Fulton, Robert Lace (col.), George Cham (col.), Charles Scott (col.), who after duly considering the case, brought in a veridict as follows: Little Rock, April 14, 1873.

In the northern states where it is not so vital in its local relations as with us, it is in some sort an abstract political question , but it has little or no strength when viewed in that aspect. Very few persons in the north are in favor of enfranchising the negroes as a matter of principle, and they comprise only the small handful of [faustics?] who believe in the absolute equality of all races, and the consequent equal rights of all in all things. The only reason why the radical party desire the negroes to vote is that they may vote the radical ticket. If, the white men of the south succeed in making the negroes vote as they direct, there will be no party in this country as clamorous for disfranchising the negroes as these very radicals—And we may frankly add that if the northern democracy believed that we could make them vote the democratic ticket, they would no more protest against letting the negroes vote that the radicals do. Negro suffrage therefore, involves no principle upon which two great parties may take opposite departures in pursuance of policy, but is in the political contests of the day in some sense what a strategic point is to hostile armies on the battlefield. By means of secret associations the radicals first got possession of this element of voting strength, and then they gave it political vitality only that they might use it against their opponents. They are now upholding it as the means to overcome opposition in the north, and they hope to make up for the loss of northern votes in the presidential electoral college next fall by counting those that they obtain through negro suffrage in the south. That is the philosophy of negro suffrage as it appears to the minds of radical leaders in the north. The adventurers in the south who uphold it are actuated by motives exactly similar. There is no party in this country really in favor of negro suffrage as an abstract political principle. Southern opposition to allowing the negroes to vote is, however, a matter of vital principle, the mere surrender of which will subvert the entire fabric of our civilization. For, the moment we admit the negro’s right to right to vote, we enter the path which leads us down to his level in the social and domestic arena. We soon become suitors for his support, and white candidates for office will be required to stand hand in hand suppliants for negro votes. When that state of things comes, the places of public honor can only be filled by negroes and ignorant, depraved and unprincipled white fellows, for none other will aspire to election by the masses of a race [unreadable text] and debased. And if negro suffrage be permanently imposed upon the south this condition will certainly come upon us, because of the [numerous?] voting strength of the negroes in all the southern states. Put the ignorant and debased men of any community at the head of its public affairs and of course that community becomes intolerable to all respectable and refined residents. Thus it is, that with the southern white people negro suffrage can never become a political issue, or in any sense a party question on which white men may divide. It is essentially, absolutely and directly a question of domestic, industrial and social concern on which all stand together by those ties of blood which unite all men of the same race to each other. And, it is because “blood is thicker than water,” that the white population of the south are [unreadable text] in opposing negro suffrage.
