II o. g
iA.case was decided on Friday last in
the Superior Court, Cincinnati, which
vindicates the rights of colored people
to ride on railroad cars. An action
was brought by Isaac Young. a colored
man, against the Passengers, Street
Railroad Company, to recover damages
for his election from a car belonging to
the Company, whoseregulations reauir-
ed ,colored men to ride on the platform.
while their wives and children were all
lowed inside. The plaintiff. wished to
ride inside the car, and for this was put
out. The Judge charged the iury that
passenger cars should be regarded as
common carriers, not special, and while
railroad companies had a right to ex-
clude intoxicated persons, felons, and
others whose appearance were offensive
TO decency and morality, they could not
legally exclude persons on account of
their complexion. With The excep.
tons stated, every person had clear
right to ride in a public conveyance
there can be no class legislation in this
country. The admission of a contrary
principle might lead to innovations in
which color would not be the only con-
ditton of transportation. i n.
The jury, after a brief deliberation.
gave $500 damages to the plaintiff, thus
establishing, or rather confirmines the
principle that the compRny's repnla-
tions, which were the only defence Of
1eredI were illegal and unjust,

Tar andFeaGhers.

A few weeks ago, some of the young
"bloods" at Raleigh sent note TO the
anti-slavery correspondent of a New
York paper stationed there, informing
him that unless he refraIned from such
and such course they would admins
ter coat of tar and feathers to him.
Not long since the editor ofthe Jackson
(Miss.) NstOs expressed the opinion that
Maj. Barnes .and Lieut.. Ralph, of the
Fiftieth Colored Regiment, richly meri-
ted an application of tar and feathers,
for having advised the negroes to de-
fend themselves If assailed by the
whites. The Mel0s added: "We have a
fright, and will use it, ofdrumminE out
OF our country every Northern ennis
sary who is SO lost to honor and the
interests of our people as to instigate
warfare and incendiarism between the
whites and the blacks. These creatures,
"when they so far forget themselves as
:" to stir up diBcord between the people,
deserve the fate of the mad dog u
One or two other Southern journals, we
observe, have likewise recommended
the revival of the tar and feather GUS
tom for the Yankees among them. hT4
Now, the restored insurgents NAV
call Uncle Sans soldiers ''enissaries, y
"incendiaries," !" or what not, but SO
long as they manifest such an unfriend-
~ disposition toward Northerners, and
talk about taking Justice into their
own hands, the General Government
will continue to quarter the blue coats
among them in order to maintain law
and order. The result of the four years.
struggle has settled one question defini-
tely, and that iSthat an American citizen
must be guaranteed his rights South as
we'll as North. The sooner our strepen-
tant brethrenn understand this and act
accordingly, the better will it be for all
parties. 'ss-i 80

GERMAN LABoRERsLEAvrNa VIRGIN
rA.-Within the past two days about
thirty able-bodied and healthy men.
mostly Germans, have applied at the
headquarters Of this department for
transportation to Louisiana, says the
Richmond Enquirer, of November sd,
because they cannot obtain anything to
dohere. The condition ofthese men, for
want of work, is pitiable in the extreme.
Such state of things, in view of the
existing demand for labor in the coun-
try, is remarkable. The farmers in the
interior can scarcely be aware that such
opportunities present themselves, or
they would not suffer them to slip from
their hands. We advise them to keep
their eyes open.

The Meeting OF Congress.

WASHINGToN, Nov. %.
+ There have been but few arrivals of
Congressman to-day. They come in
much slower than is usual at this sea-
son. High prices in Washington and
the absence of any special excitement
in the organization of the House are
believed to be the reasons. A caucus of
the Republican members of the House
will be convened next Saturday night
to nominate candidates for offices of the
House. The caucus will be almost
unanimous for the reelection of Mr..
Colfax as Speaker. Mcpherson is said
to be strong for Clerk. There are half a
dozen candidates for Postmaster, Ser
geant-at-Arms and Dook-keeper. An
of the officers of the last House arc here
working industriously among the new
ly arrived members. The Clerk of the
House has had printed the usual roll of
members elect, made up from the Gre
denttalS which he has received: no
member from the late insurgent States
appears on the roll. Owing to the late
date at which most of the Southern
elections were held, but very few Gre
dentials of Congressman elect have
been received from that quarter. So.
then, IL the Clerk were disposed. he
would not be able to put on, his roll 4

TIE following story is of course i'm
ported. A physician, who was not very
familiar with the symptoms or the
remedies for the cholera, was called in
to prescribe for a cobbler who believed
himself suffering from the epidemic.
He told him to take certain medicines,
and called again next day, when he was
informed that Crispin was cured; in
fact SO well was he, he had gone to
work. i5 Hf4t
Indeed " said the doctor, Hthat is
swered admirably"
"Not ao." they answered; che would
not take the medicine" m = ri =
nIndeedl What then did he do2
Impatient and hungry, he called for
his supper-a salad of beans and pota-
toes, along with red herring.n
"DeaF, dear 7" exclaimed our doctor.
and believing he had discovered. a secret
which Nature by chance had revealed,
he drew ont his pocket-book and wrote
the following as cure for cholera

potatoes, and red herring; to be taken

But few days elapsed, and our good
doctor was called in to attend a mason.
also seized with the cholera, to whom
he at once gave the famous prescrip-
tton. Alas on the morrow, on calling,
he learnt, to1his astonishment, that a
quarter of annhour after having eaten
the salad the poor man died.
Dear, dearw murmured the doctor;
and again pulling out his pocket-book,
ne added the following memorandum to
the prescription: - =lIl , %

TIE New York Post ridicules the an
nouncement that ''bridal chambers" /"
and other extravagances, such as fres-
coed ceilings, sumptuous tapestries, ETC.,
are about to be introduced into some of
the Northern cars. 1t says: 'Bridal
chambers are disgusting enough in
hotels and steamboats,, where they have
long since been condemned by public
opinion, even the least refined; but
bridal chambers in a railroad car
would be too shocking to be tolerated
at all. The first load of decent passen-
gers wonld cast their tawdry finery out
of the windows. The ambition of rail-
road managers should be turned, not
to an increase of frippery in the orna-
mentation of cars, but of safety in their
conduct. Ifmoney is to be spent, let it
be spent, not in fantastic decorations.
but in substantial improvements. Does
it not seem mockery, when we have
over a hundred frightful slaughters
by rail each year, to be told that the
cars are to be frescoed and gilded and
carpeted? Or are the managers mad,
caring nothing for life or limb, and
only eager to make a display2 Or, do
they make SO much money, in spite of
the large sums ever and anon paid for
'damages,' that they can afford to throw
it away in this silly ostentation, in
which ill-breeding unites to produce at
best only shabby gentility."

THE old maxim about loving the
treason but despising the traitor, is re-
ceiving a new illustration in the manner
in which the Southern press speaks of
Buchanan and his book. For instance,
the following, from the Richmond Times:
James Buchanan, that extraordinary
illustration of the trite remark that not
only great men have their weaknesses
but little ones too-that model ofdeport-
ment, who could never be trusted by
his most intimate friends one single
hour-and the brightest features of
whose administration were his accom-
plished Vice President and his maGnifi-
cent niece, the most elegant woman who
ever presided at the White House-has
