A Moro PIc-NIc NGPPED IN THE BUD.
Yesterday morning six or seven hundred
negroes assembled at the Louisville and
Nashville depot to go on a jolllieation to
the National Cemetery. The thing had
been sometime in contemplation, and
train Of fifteen cars had been chartered for
the occasion, which we're filled at an early
hour to repletion by the excursionists. Be
fore leaving, however, the road desired to
to see the charter money, and toll-gatherers
went through the train for the amount,
$50. After taking all in that could be
raised, consisting of ragged and dirty frac-
tionaI currency, nickels and counterfeits,
"a financial board" was imProvised from the
employees of the road, to count the cash
and compare it with the agreed sum, which
resulted in finding SCI bankable funds
less than half the stipulated price OF the
train. The announcement was made
that the train would not move
till the $3.50 was on the mail"
This created an active stir among
the leaders on the occasion to de-
velop the hidden resources OF the party,
who sweated back and forth through the
train. but without success. The train stood
still-the exertions to collect were renewed
with the same blank result-the expectant
party became restless, and expressed de-
cided disapproyal of the delay. They
wanted the train TO go at once, and not to
stand on the order of its going. But
money makes railroad trains go as we'll as
the "mare," and the money did not come.
Finally the dissatisfaction was loudly ex-
pressed, the party became excitedly indig-
nant, and general row seemed likely.
About u o'clock it became evident that the
picnic was mo 60" and then arose the
momentous question Of restoring the dllapl-
dated currency to the contributors. This
was as difficult work as its collection. and
produced renewed excitement Finally
the money was distributed, and the crest
fallen party left the train and the depot,
and found solace for the disappointment in
curses loud and deep, and in scattering
again to their homes.
