LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.


A friend of ours relates that, as he was
travelling from Philadelphia to Hunting
don, few nights ago, he took berth in
a sleeping car, and when about retiring
his attention was attracted by loud talk
ing and scufiiing on the platform OF the
car. Proceeding TO the scene Of the dis
turbance, he discovered huge male me-
gro in a controversy with one OF the
railroad officials about obtaining berth
in the sleeping car. The ticket agent
had refused to sell the darby ticket
and the colored gentleman was trying 70
force his way into the car without the
requisite piece of stamped pasteboard..
A policeman came up, however, ana
settled the business, by telling the ticket
agent, that under the law, II he refused
10 sell the negro berth ticket, on ac-
count of color, be would be amenable to
n fine of five hundred dollars, and sub
iect to pay like sum to the negro upon
an action for debt This had the desired
effect, and the African was handed the
coveted ticket. IL so happened, how.
ever, that but one berth was vacant, and
that was half of double berth partly
occupied by white man. The negro
Invested himself of hat, boots, coat and
vest, and proceeded 10 appropriate his
half of the double berth. White man,
who had been doing, turned around
looked at the new conner, rubbed his
ewes, looked again, and then came such
a kicking, tumbling, SPRAYING, and mix
ture of white and black generally as
would have done any amalgamationists
heart good. About this time the conduc
tor appeared upon the scene, and the
result was that the negro, with ticket in
hand, tumbed into bed, whilst the white
man, growing anathemas at the party he
himself had helped to place into power,
doggedly put on his clothes and went
forward to sit with wrenched back and
crampled legs, in the messenger car, ru,

RopMAS HoUss AEFAI2.-Mr. Hutchine,
the popolar proprietor Of the Rodman
House, Of Rock Island, calls our attention
to . scandaious and damaging Article which
appeared in yesterdays Gazette relative to
that establishment. II appears that young
laiy arrived at that hotel on Saturday eve.
nisg, en- route for Davenport. She stopped
for the night at the Rpduan. After re-
firing some scosndls! raped at her door
aud asked her il she desired company
Naturally enough she was terribly irighten-
ed. The house was alarmed. the clerk
rushed w stairs. :she landlord was routed
out OF bed, and did all in his power TO sllay
her fears, and had her come down stairs
and take . room opposite that. of his own
family, where she staid ,ill morning.
The Gazeite said tina, "the young lady
appealed 10 the porter first and then to the
clerk for protection and redress, and receiv
ed no satisfaction" Capt. Hughes. whose
family room was close BY. assures us that
there was no porter about that hs rang
his bell when he heard the young lady's
alarm, hurried on his pants, and went With
the clerk to see what was up. The clerk
assured the young lady Of perfect safs'y
went and called up the landlord.
who. says the Gazette, ''evineed little con.
csfn," but who, in fact, did oil kind words
and earnest assurances could TO paeify her,
and conducted her 10 special guest room
on the first floor, next TO that Of his own
family. Mr.. Hutchins has ever maintained
tho reputation Of keeping highly rsspsct'
able house, and She unfair aud untruthful
manner in which be was attached BY tht
Gasstts Was exceedingly unjust. He as'
surss Us. and SO does Capt. Hughes, whe
Was present. that every thing was done thu
could BE- done to redress the young lady
wrongs, and render her quiet for the night
For the dsspicabls act of some shameless
hsund who insulted the young lady Nj. II
cannot be held responsible. nor shoulA b
be blamed BY the public.
Since writing the above We notice In thi
