HE negroes now ride in the street cars of
all the principal Southern cities, orders to
that effect being issued by the military COM
manderS. In New Orleans heretofore it has
been the custom for the cOlored people to
rue IN special cars marked with "star," and
the New Orleans Crescent says the military
order has produced very little change. Nearly
all the colored travellers still go in the star
cars and even wait for them, though car
lor whites may be passing or present. 1t adds
that the public mind is much more composed
since the question has been set at rest, and
the probability Of u collision of races avoided.
