"FREE AND EQUAL. The conductors OF the Sixth

which proclaims all men to be Z" free and eqnoi IA
Gentleman OF our acquaintance was riding the other
day on the above railroad the conductor came up 10
respectable looking lady who sat by bis side and in
peremptoy ordered her to go outside on the
drivers platform Our friend astonished at this
conduct and inquired what il meant "She Is mig
ger" replied the conductor. Our friend had by this
time made the discovery that the complexion OF the
LADY was not quite fair although very slightly tnged
with the "somber hue" The wind was blowisg aud
the rain was peng down in torrents, and yet this coo-
ductor insisted on the lady taking her stand outside
The genuine feeling of freeman were by this time
aroused in the heart of our friend and checking the
indignation which he felt quickly rising, he asked the
conductor On what authority do you order this per-
son outside Of the car; she has as good right to
seat in public conveyance as have p 1t is the
rule and we must obey our orders" was the reply.
"Tell your employers said friend, that would
"ratber 60 outside than that she should and some
one were obliged to go out would, but at all events
(" | will be responsible TO the Railroad Company for
cher remaining in her scat. AT this the conductor
said no more about the rules Our friend says he does
not profess to be an Abotionist, although, heaven
knows he would like TO see Slavery abolished; but he
feels as indignant at seeing this hagrant violation OF
the rights citizenship if he were Garrsonisn la
