Mr. Sumner mass introduced a rcsoIut;on |
directing the COMMITTEES On the District o=Co. |
iumbis, 10 inquire into The sxDedienev Of a lsv,
granting equality Of privileges to colore6 peo- |
pie on the railroads Of the District. He called /
attention 20 the subject for the reason that an /
outrage was recently committed in this District /
upon an officer with The rank Of msior Of the /
United States service Tnis officer had been /
recently jected lToIa ono Of these street cars by
the conductor because he was black man. He /
thought we had batter break Up al railroads If 1

BIZ. Hendricks (Iud said, if ne expressed /
any opinion ho would say the 0alrEge was the /
other way. Separate cars were provided for the /
eoioTed psopls, and this case occurred because 4
The negro declined to ride with persons of his 4
own color, and wished to force himself with /
white men.
Mr.. Grimes DID not think ere any cars

Ar. Hendricks believed, from the expressions |

THE Loyal. MEMBER FROM KENTUCKY WOULD
LREA FEW SLAVES TO BE SPARED.
Mr. Stevens effsred an ausndmsut 10 the con
seTipiion bill that persons Of African descent,
between 20 and 45 years Of age whether eili-
zena OF the United States or not. shall DO en- |
rolled and form part Of the national forces, and
when slave shsil be draiied and mustered into /
the service, the master shall receive certifcats
for $780, ard the drafted man shall be free.
This Mr. Stevens said would give eombenss-
ton to masters in tte loyal border Safes
Mr.. Clay, Of Keatueky, hoped that Mr. Sc
ven5 would withdraw his amendment. good 4
feeling Was now prevailing in his State, and
tie adoption OF ih;s proposition would retard
The progress Of the UDien feeling. He did not
object 70 taking rebel property, but that Of
loysl men ought not to be iateTfsIed with.
Mr Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts, said the laws |
Of ell the States recogR-a slaves as persons and
the exigency has arrived ~, n We shoull usef
them as other men are used 10, putting down
tbs rebellion.
Mr.. Morris, of New York, favored the amend
meRt, not being able 10 see why that description
Of property should be exempted, while the pIop.
erty Of citizens Of other States are used ioT na-
tiousl purposes.
ar. OAeosWeli, u A1AtYlaoQ, favored tho I
amendment, stating thst the slaveholdsrs in the
State OF MarTisRd have furnished bu. few if any
men for the war,

was theiT du,y TO put their slaves into the army
without compensation. We put cur sons into
