LOCAL NEWS.

4 gentleman who returned to this city on
Wednesday from a short visit to New York,
ond. who, before the war was one OF our largest
ond most influential wholesale grocery mer-
obants. informs us of the following example Of
tho kipdpessi and protection invariably afforded
negroes by gentlemen routhe South. During
his late trip from New York to this city he oc-
cnnied a seat with Maj. Gen. Hoke, Of the late
Confederate States army, who is from North
Carolina, as his conepagaon de voyoge. I'm
mediateIy In front of lhem sat a negro, and two
II, S. officers, one a General, filed the opposite
seat. Soon after leaving New York, General
Hoke saw a man, who was walking through
the car, pick up from the floor, near where
the negro sat, whatehe, at the time, supposed to
bea ticket, and when the conductor came around
and was told by the negro that he had lost his
ticket, but that he had bought and paid for
one, and that he had a.check for his baggage,
the General was satisfied that the man be had
seen walking through the car had found the
pegro's ticket, and SO informed the conductor,
who accepted his statement, and went ON mark
Ing the checks Of other passengers.
A change Of conductors takes place between
Washington and New York, and when the
second one, on his round, was told by the ne
gro that he had lost his ticket, he said that was
not his. lookout, and that the fare would
have to be paid. Gen. Hoke then stated to
him what he had told the first conductor, but
instead of receiving and crediting the Generals
explanation, he, in pert and impudent manner
remarked that neither black man nor white
man should pass.by him without paying, and
that the negro should pay or be put of. The
General then rising from his seat, and shaking
hisfore finger in front of the conductor face,
informed him, firmly and deliberately, that for
the past four years he had beenfghting for the
negro, and that though defeated, he would
not, even now, allow one to be maltreated in his
presence; that the negro had paid his fare, and
should 60 through. The conductor slunked
away, the negro came on to Washington, but
the " u. S. officers never said a word.
The commissioners of the election held in
this city yesterday, to accept OF reject the New
Charter, and to determine whether the minor
municipal officers shall be elective by the Coun-
ellis or by the people, met this morning in the
Council Chamber, and after an examination OF

In Washington, on Tuesday night several Of
