have A colorea nurse cannot enter the cars OF
the Eighth Avenue Railroad without leaving
her nurse in the street--perhaps in tempest
of rain-while she cares for her child herself,
that road is not free and common even to
white people, but is a private, peculiar concern
which has no business in our streets and no
right to obstruct them.
We beg the managers of the Eighth Avenue
Railroad, and especially Mr.. George Law,
who is understood to be their master-spi
to consider well before embarking determin.
edly in the controversy to which their Super.
intendent has challenged the advocates of
Equal Rights in our City. Those managers
are very wealthy, and quite familiar with the
manipulation of legislative and Judicial author
tiles. 1t is possible that they can be upheld
for year or so ia the course on which they
have entered by spending money enough; but
ultimately they must grow weary Of spending,
and prefer to make money by fulfilling their
obligations to the community, rather than
squander it in frantic efforts to evade them.

THE PETERHOFF.

In the celebrated case Of the Peterhof the
United States District Court on Saturday dc.
creed the condemnation and forfeiture Of both
vessel and cargo The opinion of Judge Belts
il not written out, but his decision proceeds
on the ground that the PsterhOi was know.
iucly laden with contraband of war; that her
voyage was not truly to Matamoras, but was
destined for some other port in aid Of pad Tor
use of the enemy and in violation @" the law
of nations; and finally, that the ships papers
were false and simulated as t. her real destl'
nation. If these allegations are sustained py
the evidence, they are more than sufficient to
condemn the vessel and cargo according to
every principle Of Admiralty Law; aud re-
membering tho previous history Of the case we
may be very sure that the evidence was ample
and complete.
The vigorous remonstrauce OF the British
Government at the outset was based on the
OK parte statement of tho owners that
their vessel was bound to neutral port
upou a perfectly lawful voyage. Ostensibly
ds.tined for Matamoras. she was captured by
the flying squadron Of Admiral Wilkes in the
latitude of the West Indies, on suspicion Of a
contraband cargo intended for tho Rebels.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The President announces that Rebels are 10
longer to be permitted with impunity TO ensla7s
and murder the soldiers Of the Republic. In
an official order, elsewhere printed, he recog.
iizes the duty of the Government to give pro.
lection TO its citizens of whatever class, color
or condition, declares that the law of nations,
and the usages Of war, as carried on by civil
lied powers, permit no distinction in the treat.
ment of prisoners of war on account oi color,
and denounces the sale of negro prisoners %
a crime against the civilization of the age. lie
proclaims that the Government of the United
States will henceforward give the same pro-
lection to all its soldiers, and will retailate
upon Rebel prisoners in its possession for
offenses against the rights of colored soldiers.
1t is therefore ordered that for every soldier
of the United States killed in violation OF tho
laws of war a Rebel soldier shall be executed,
and for every one ensaved by the enemy, OF
sold into Slavery, Rebel soldier shall ba
placed at hard labor on the public works, aud
continued at such labor until the other shsH
be released, and receive treatment due to
prisoner of war.
We heartily aud gratefully welcome this
long delayed announcement Of the policy Of the
President. Accompanied, as we doubt not u
10, BY suitable instructions in reference to the
exchange of officers and soldiers, it will be e.
ficient to compel the revocation of Jefferson
Davis's December proclamation. and to put
stop to official encouragement of the savage
brutalities heretofore inflicted on negro PRISON
ers. We take it for granted that until tns
whole matter s definitely arranged, there VIII
be no exchanges. While the Rebels persist IL
discrimination between classes of prisoners, OF
while they refuse to exchange any officer OF
soldier who under the laws Of war, is entitled
to be exchanged. no Rebel ought in any ci'.
cumstauces, or on any prctense, to be parolea
or delivered up by our Government. And tn'
we now infer to be the settled determination,

THE GERMANS OF MISSOURI AND
KENTUCKY.

Tn no State of the Union have the Germsa
citizens shown themselves more unsnimouS TOT
the cause of Liberty and Progress than ia

State is numerous, and its influence grss'.
The present Legislature has number {"
German members, all Emancipationists. Inc
German press of the State has been' wiz
scarcely an exception, not only in favor W
emancipation, but of immediate emancipation
aid tho astonishing progress Of radical anu
Slavery opinions throughout the State durius
the last months is largely due to uncea''s
agitation by the Germans. The only German
Democratic paper in the State has just been

the u. s. DistrictAttorney and the counsel
for the captOrs proposed to offer the malls
found on board the ship as evidence tending
or likely to show hep real character and des.

spite of the indignant and universal pro.
test of the American press and people
against the needless humiliation, and the
uncalled-for surrender of N important bel.
ligerent right. It was hnted at the time that
other evidence would be found sufficient to
condemn the vessel, but the condemnation of
this vessel is q trife compared with the estab.
lishment of precedent at war alike with the
principles of the law of all nations and the 10.
terest of this. We have not even the satisfac-
ton of knowing that tho British Government
ia bound by it in the future, for the concession
was not made in obedience to demand-un-
less the columns of The London Times were
supposed to contain it-and the records OF the
diplomatic correspondence are not such as to
hold Great Britain to conformity with the
precedent under which we are compelled to
abandon undoubted rights.
We apprehend, however, that the present
condition Of the cause in court is such as to
prevent or at any rate to postpone, any fur
ther diplomatic collision. 1t will doubtless bs
appealed to the Supreme Court, and until
decision is reached by that tribunal, the case
cannot well be RENTED to the arbitration Of
the State Department and the Foreign Office.
Now, supposng the decree Of forfeiture to bs
affirmed by the Supreme Court, it is not easy
to see on what pretense the British Govern.
ment can seek to reverse that decision. The
principles of law on which Judge Beitsi
decree are based cannot be called in question.
IL the Peterhof was knowingly laden with
contraband of war, and was not really des-
tined to neutral port, and was captured
with false papers on board, or if papers wers
destroyed, in anticipation of capture, there Is
not a court in Christendom, not even British
court, which could refuse to condemn her. |:
is, therefore, only the evidence about which
there can be dispute, but the evidence is
peculiarly matter for the judgmen. Of the
court. and as we have above ntimated, is IN.
questionably of the strongest character. Ii
seems very clear that the condemnation OF the
Peterhoff must be finally acquiesced in, and
that the only misfortune accruing or likely to
accrue to us is the surrender Of the general
right to examine the mails of ships detained
on guspicion.

FRANCHISES AND DUTIES.
We are informed that the following notice
was duly posted on Saturday:

"Coored persons allowed to ride the care OF this
sim.a &C. A. MAY. Superintendent"
Mr. May is doubtless authorized and directed
by the Directors to make this announcement.
The Railroad Company in question holds a
very valuable franchise by grant from the
Legislature Of New-York. 1t was given them
on condition that they should carry such per-
sons a. might choose to ride over their road
at q stipulated price. Their refusal to fulfill
their part of the contract in equity works
forfeiture Of their franchise. We therefore
give fair notice to the Eighth Avenue Railroad
Company that in case they do not have the
above notice promptly withdrawn and the
privilege Of travelling on their cars restored
TO all decent persons who may desire to enjoy
it, we shall ask the next Legislature OF
our State to repeal their charter. And the
movement for repeal will be backed by evil
dence that they have 90 abused their chartered
privileges that the Legislature will be COM
PEELED, in Justice to the City aud its People, to
withdraw them.
The streets of our city are by law free and
common to innocent persons without regard to
color. A street railroad is to some extent al
mpediment and . nuisance, only excused by
the fact that its convenience TO the public over
balances its Inconvenience. But for this, any
judge authorized to issue an injunction must
order its rails torn up on the complaint of any
citizen aggreved by it. II, for example, Mr..
George Law or any other citizen who had q
big stone quarry up town or big job Of
bridge building over the Harlem River, were
to procure o charter for a tramway through
certain streets for his sole use in transporting
stono from this quarry or to this bridge, any
court would say that no Legislature or Com
mon Council has right to obstruct those
streets for such q selfish purpose. Now a
street railroad whereof part only Of our peO-
ple are allowed to avail themselves falls clearly
within this condemnation. The nuisance and
obstacle is general, while tho countervailing

NEWS FROM EUROPE.

BY the arrival OF the America from Southampton,
July q, we have three days later news from
Europe.
The news of the retreat Of Lee 10 the Potomac
and of the surrender .pf Vicksburg had reached
England The comments of the English papers on
these events are highly interesting. Nothing could
be more cordial than the sympathy expressed with
our successes by The Daily Ners and The Star,
while The London Times il utterly confounded,
and tries to explain away the significance of our
late successes.
The Russian reply to the English note is published
also summary Of the reply to the French note. The
tone Of those replies, although strictly courteous is
by no means 80 concatory the first reference to
it by the semi.ocial papers of France led the public
TO expect. II holds out no hope Of an arrangement
with regard 10 an armstice, docs there seem any
chance Of an understanding such as the great powers
desire 10 relation to conference. The Paris papers
now generally concur in regarding the replies as
insufficient and in thSk king that the great powers
will endeavor TO induce Russia 10 assent 10 the whole
sf the proposals made 10 her. 1t was expected that
the intentions of the French Government, with re.
gard " the Russian reply would be made known
within three days. From the seat OF war, several
defeats Of tho Russians are reported. In the En-
gtish House Of Commons, Mr.. Horsman moved q
