TIE WASHINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA RAIL
ROAD ELECTION CAsE.-Nr. VALLEY. from the
District Committee, made areport TO the Senate
to-day (which was ordered to be printed) on
the resolution heretofore referred to them, IN
structing them TO inquire into the alleged facts
connected with the election of Mrs. Kate
Brown. the colored woman IN charge of the la
dies retiring room of the Senate, from passen-
ger car of the Alexandra and Washington Rail-
road Company in February last, and also in
structing them TO inquire as TO what further
legislation Is necessary TO protect the rights of
passengers on the Washington and Alexandria
Railroad. The Committe stated that they find
the facts 10 be as heretofore stated: that Con-
gress has already provided in the charter that
the Company shall not make any discrimina-
uon on account Of race or color. that
Mrs. Brown has instituted suit against
the Company for damages and injuries
sustained. and that the policeman who erected
her from the car has since been dismissed from
the service OF the company. The repeal of the
charter, the committee say, would infiict great
injury 10 travel but, IL the result OF the legal
proceedings which Mrs. Brown has instituted
shall not be satisfactory, or the conduct of the
company IN future shall not be satisfactory
the resolution can be taken from the table, and
the charter of the company be repealed, or uch
measures adopted as shall AT the same time be
passep gers upon that road They therefore
recommend that the resolution for the present
be laid upon the table.

likely object to-a trial On the indictment under
which he wastrled tor narder and conspiracy

Congress, relative to contested elections in this
city.
The gentlemen above named were cordially
received by the President, who heard their
statement and complaints against the bill, but
gave no indication as TO what his action on the
the same would be, simply promising the gen.
uemen that he would consider the same; and
further stating that he had not yet examined
the bill, as he had just received il.

BY way OF Buenaventura late dates have been re-

to the existing state Of affairs. La Paz says:-The

bishop Atkinson, of North Caro-
Limo, in an address delivered last
SUNDAY evening, in Christ Church, in
thls city, relating chiefly to church
matters and missionary work, made
one statement which is calculated to
arrest the attention of every thinking
person, regardless of sects, creeds or
political views. He was referring to
the rapid extinction of the negroes
IN the South, and in illustration of
the state of things even in North
Carolina, he spoke of q negro town
opposite or near Newbern, consisting
OF !U, U0O inhabitants. In that town,
said the Bishop, one coffin dealer
alone filled orders for $500 cofIins in

Ibis is fact Of terrible signifi-
cance in its relation to the condition
and destiny of the emancipated
blacks. The truths for which no
amount of statement or reasoning
could avail to gain hearing. when
presented in the way OF warming
against the sudden liberation of these
ignorant and helpless people, are
likely now to force themselves upon
public attention by the irresistible
power OF facts. 1t is known that of
OF the 100000 negroes who we're
liberated by the war, fully one.quarse,.
perlshed miserably within a year,
and that the deathrate. among them
has, since that time, very largely ex-
ceeded the rate of increase in all
parts of the South. Appearances
seem to Justify Bishop Atllinson's
opinion. that the negro race in Ame-
rica is destined to fade out and be-
come extinguished, like the Indians.
Their professed friends have proved
their worst enemies. They are now
seeking to use the poor negroes and
control their votes. And that's about
oil they care for the "poor negro"
