Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1866-04-26
Correspondence of the Delaware Republican
OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.

The Fifth and Sixth Street Passenger Rail-
nv Company is the safest corporation on
heels 10 the city. Since Mr.. Poulterer has
,sumed the vice presidency, and has assisted
aptain West ito honorable president, the Il
Dad has paid the respectable dividend OF ak d
cen per centum. DO not think have ever g
no n any of its stock a1oat; it would be go u
AZ above par that tremendous Prices would U
ave 10 be paid to secure any Of the same. I
rive all the credit of this to the superior man
.Rement Of the company from the very first 8
L is the pioneer road of Philadelphia. 1t 9
stands hi xh in the estimation of newspaper men
because OF the ranking privilege that is &C
coded 10 them After all that has been said
about the questionability of allowing newspa-
per men to ride free, there is one thing certain
any man or any corporation that has the press
on its side never suffers. If an accident &C.
ours the fair side OF the picture is always pre-
scented to the public, in light that shields |
them from the opprobrium Of the too readily |
censuring populace. This road has an ear
nest of this. 1t was the first Corporation on
wheels" that gave to the colored population
the freedom of their cars. OF course like all
steps in advance, the movement was bitterly
assailed by many OF our citizens, hundreds OF
" HON declared that they would never ride on
this line and would withdraw all their infu.
ence and patronage. When this action was
contemplated by these persons, took coca
sion to censure the people and to defend the
company in the Republican, because was
fearful lest the hundreds Of your citizens daily
doing busisess here would also Join in the an.
athematising and refuse ,opatroniEe the road.

| of that article. ] learned from a citizen OF
Wilmington that it was like oil upon the trou-
bled waters, and that your people, more than
ever would support the action OF the direc-
tors. The papers of this city with one or two
exceptions also sided with the company and
the result is, that every fifth car on the Fifth
and Sixth Street railroad is devoted to the
i wants of the colored population whose duties
| or pleasures call il to requisiton the pleasures
of n tide. As have said on other occasions,
| CAL see no reason why your len thousand
readers in coming to Philadelphia should go
to the expense of paying three or i've dellars
Tor a carriage, when by taking a'short walk
down Washington street they can reach the
cars Of this line. The conductors In charge
Of the cars nro not boorsh clowns whose sole
duties seem to be to prevent the passengers
from gaining foothold before they are urged
