Tho Senate Committee on the DISTRICT Of
Columbia yesterday reported back the rssolu-
ton contemplating legislation to secure equal
privileges to colored and white citizens on the
railroads Of the District, and asked to be dis
charged from its further consideration, which
was agreed to by The Senate. We should Ike
to know why. The case brought before the
Senate was that Of a colored officer Of the U. S.
Army a surgeon, expelled from the cars because
he was black. We know that it belongs TO Con-
gress to remedy such abuses as that. Equal
rights under the law are what all citizens must
be guaranteed, whether they be black or white.
