A OARD--TO THE PUBLIC!

Some talk having arisen out of all &C.
currence which took place on the 18th
ult., take this method of making the
facts public.
There is rule, adopted by the Rail-
road Company, that all persons selling
grapes or fruits of any kind at the cars,
must sweep off the platform after the
train leaves. On the day above men,
toned, negro named Stevens, sold a
basket of grapes at the cars. When the
train left informed him of the law OF
the company, and requested him to
sweep off the platform, which was
covered with grape shells; he refused
to do it, but came into the Bar-room of
the Berkeley Hotel, and commenced
selling there. I handed him broom
and requested him to sweep the room
and the platform. He refused to do it.
Then ordered him out number of times,
and he refused to go. then seized and
forcibly put him out. He returned and
l again put him out. At this juncture,
a man named Owens, from Frederick,
and Jones, the telegraph operator at
this place, took sides with the negro.

Time For Reconciliation,

II there Is any one wise enough to
tell us what is the sense or logic of
keeping up sectional prejudices, and the
bitter memories engendered by the late
war, we should like that individual to
step forward and enlighten the world
on that particular subject. It Is now
nearly two years since the termination
of hostilities, and plenty of time has
elapsed to enable everybody to take a
>eecUnd sober thought. Let North and
South shake hands, forget and forgive,
let by-gones, be hy-gones, and behave
like sensible people.

"MyPolicy" is hateful to the Radi-

people Of Pittsburg, it is policy for re-

What Congress has done for the Sol
(lierS.

President johnson, in his able and
intrepid st. Louis speech, thus describes
what the Rump Congress has done for
the soldiers:
They pretended to do something for
the soldiers. Who has done more for
the soldiers than I have: Who has per-
lied more in this service than / have?
Cheers. But then, to make them their
peculiar friends, and favorites of the
soldiers, they came forward and pro-
posed to do-what? Why we will give
the soldier $50 bounty-your attention
to this-if he has served two years, and
800 if he has served three years.
Nov, mark you, the colored man
that served two years can get his one
hundred dollars bounty, but the white
man must serve three years before he
can get his. Cheers But this is not
the point. While they were tickling
and attempting to please the soldiers by
giving them fifty dollars bounty for two
years service, they took it into their
heads to vote somebody else a bounty,
laughter, and they voted themselves
not fifty dollars for two years service
your attention, | want to made a lodge
ment in your minds Of the facts, because
want to put the nail in, and having
put it in, l want to clinch it on the 9TH
er side. Cheers. The brave boy, the
potriotic young man who followed his
gallant officers, slept on the tented field,
and periled his life, and shed his blood,
and left his limbs behind him, and
came home mangled and manned, he
can have fifty dollars bounty if he has
served two years, but the members of
Congress, who never smelt gunpowder
can get four thousand dollars extra pay.'n
Loud cheering.
