are frequently served up at the prison to
such radicals as happen to visit there and be
guests instead of inmates. Who pays for

Tennessee hands. us the following sugges-
tons to his comrades referring to the negro
plank in the radical platform just adopted
at Chicago: @- @ ae.e
The white soldier, under every circum-
stance of the service, asserted his superiority
over the black. Is not that true? Did you

negro regiments. This is called prejudice
by the radical ring. They had no word of
commendation for the brave Iowsus who
fought in the open field at Milliken's Bend,
but laudations were heaped upon the negroes
who fought behind breastworks, with the
choice of repelling the rebel attack or jump

colored troops at Milhken's Bend it was

THE RAILROAD WAR ENDED.
The Tracy Party Ahead.

From a telegram from Chicago, last night,
we learn that the "railroadwar," between Mr..
Tracy and his adherents Of the c. r. 4. Y T.
r. R. company and the Bulls and Bearsof New
York city, has been finally settled. Mr.,
Tracy went mp to Chicago with the New
York party, yesterday morning, accompa-
MED bv Ebenezer Cook and Edward Cook,
of Davenport. A harmonious meeting took
place at Chicago, where settlement was
made on the following terms, and board OF
directors organized: -s.
First--All suitsEto be withdrawn.
Second-The road to be extended to ON.
aha as proposed BY Tracy, and according to
the terms of the Iowa legislature.
fhird--The Tracy party and the New
York stockholders to appoint six directors
each---these twelve to appoint the thirteenth,
To admit of this sufficient number of the
present directors are to resign. Thus the
Iowa law forbidding the election of directors
until 1869, will be complied with.
Fourth--Dasid w. BOWS, w. F. Apple
ton and Wilson. G. Hunt are to be among
the nav directors. n SA~ sA& =
IL Fifth--The issue of the 10000 shares Of
stock are to be approved. ga
e The Chicago journal says: :
We learn from authoritative sources that
the New York parties made the overtures
to the present management, conceding &c
them che points in dispute. Mr.. Tracy con-
tinues as president, with the control of the
board of directors, as before. The eastern
parties waive their belhgerentJ rights, with
draw all suits and injunctions, and are to
be represented in the management by three
directors. Thus the war is terminated sat
