Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-06-19

in the Plain Dealer, in reply to an article in
Tuesday mornings LEADER, upon the Beer
Garden nuisance. Now, letit be understood
in the start, that our article was directed
against the Sunday Beer gardens, and only
spoke of the railroad as feeder Of The Gar
dens. The noise and confusion, the disturb
ance and ill timed hilarity of the Gardens
upon the Sabbath was the burden of our com
plant. Mr.. Williams takes it up as if his
Road was the champion of the Gardens. If
he chooses to accept that position, we'll and
good only he must not say that we put him
there.
Mr.. Williams says that prOperty-hOlders
do not complain of the management Of the
Road. If he has heard of no complaint, his
feelings have been scrupulously spared by the
properly holders and residents upon the line
of the road, who have addressed US personal
ly au6 by communications. One of these
gentlemen visited this Office yesterday, to
say that the large majority of citizens upon
upon the road coDsideredit a nuisance which
they would be glad to see abatsd.
Mr.. Williame denies our assertion that no
lady is safe from insult upon the cars on Sun
day. The bare fact that the cars are crowd
ed to their utmost capacity by lOafers and
drinkers who have visited, or are on their way
to visit place of recreation, where liquor
selling is the principal attraction, is sufficient
to confirm our charge. A gentleman at our
elbow speaks of a hOoting and bowling car
load which he saw on Sunday last Who
would consider his wife or sister safe from
insult in such q crowd?
Mr.. Williams says that these gardens are
but remembrances of their father-land which
preserves the nationality of the Amsricanized
Germans. We interfere with no mans reli-
gion, but we want no man, German or Ameri-
can, 10 interfere ,oih ours. This community
respects the Sabbath, and does not want to
see it trampled under foot.
Under fair promises and representations
of the benefits to be derived, the property
holders along the line of the road gave quit
claim deeds of the street portion of their prop
erty. Had they known the result,.as they
now see it, they would certainly have done
nothing of the kind. They have been vic
timized, to say the plain truth, by specula-
tors.
A word upon personal matters: Mr.. Will
Iiams says that the reason Of the LEADERS,
attack was because we were refused two
passes additional to two which we already
held. The statement is totally untrue. One
pass had been sent voluntarily to the editor
of the LEADER; former local editor had one
which had been given upon account of an
other journal. A request was made that
pass be granted to the present local in place
of the former ones and that the pass held by
the editor be traHsferred to the bOok-kesper.
The former was done; the latter refused.
That's all there is to that story, which we
would beg pardon of the public for obtruding
upon them, if it had not been forced upon us.

CLEVELAND AND TOLEDO RAILRoAD.-0n last
Wednesday the annual meeting of the Stock
