Sec. 4. That no citizen, possessing all other qualifications which are or may be prescribed by law, shall be disqualified for service as juror in any court, National or State, by reason of race, color, or previous condition of servitude; and any officer or other person charged with any duty in the selection or summoning of jurors, who shall fail to summon any citizen for the reason above named, shall, on conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined not less than one thousand dollars nor more than five thousand dollars.
Sec. 5. That every discrimination against any citizen on account of color, by the use of the word “white,” or any other term in law, statute, ordinance, or regulation, National or State, is hereby repealed and annulled.
On the reïntroduction of this bill, the original clause relating to “churches” was omitted, in order to keep it in substantial harmony with the votes of the Senate.
