THs NEGRO QUESTION IN THE PRINTERS
UsIoS.-The largest and most exciting meet
ing of Columbia Typographical Union, No.
lol, that was ever held, took place at the City
Hall Saturday evening. Some time ago, ii
in Rochester, N. Y. but on attaining his ma
Jorlty the Union OF that place refused him adj
mission. He afterwards went to the West,
and worked, 1t is stated, In Denver, Colorado,
where a Printers Union exists. He then ce
came TO this city, and mainly through the in
iluence of senator from the silver mining
region, we are informed, obtained situation
As compositor in the Government printing
then arose as TO his right to work at the trade,
not on account Of his color, but because of his
coming without card" from place where
L " union" existed.
The meetings Of tho Typographical Society
are secret, and it is therefore impossible 10
give report of the proceedings Of Saturday
evening. 1t ia nevertheless proper to state
that this case was considered, and after most
exciting session the meeting adjourned,
without taking action, by vote Of los TO $50.
The matter, therefore, is as yet undicposed
Of, his case remaining in the hands of q COM
mittee Of the Printers Society. 1t seems,
however, to be well understood that his APP
plication for membership will be rejected, not
on account Of Grace or color" but because OF
non. fulflment of trade rules.
The negro, we learn (who is q son of Fred.
Douglassl, was stated 10 be prepared in al.
vance for rejection, and announced his in ten
ton TO carry the case on appeal TO the Ma
tional Typographical Union.-Mnt. Int, l7h.

A Srrr FOR Loss OF BAaGAGg.-Mr. Cyrus
Il. Mccormick sues the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company before the Supreme Circuit
Court OF New York, to recover the value OF
his baggage, lost in 1862, under the following
circumstances: Mr.. Mccormick appeared mt
the depot of the Pennsylvania railroad in
Philadelphia, with his wife and large num-
Der Of trunks. The agent refused to check the
baggage until passenger tickets were shown.
This delayed him some minutes; Mr. McCor-
mick bought two tickets; the agent then re-
fused to check the baggage without payment
for extra weight; while Mr.. Mccormick dis
cussed the matter with his wife other trunks
were piled on theirs, and when he concluded
not TO pay the freight demanded and asked for
his trunks again, he was told that 1t was too
late, rs the train was about to start. The
baggage went 10 Pittsburg; was there de-
livercd 10 the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railroad Company, and was stored
in their warehouse, subject to the demand OF
the owner hereafter. The warehouse was
burned, and the baggage in it. The amount
claimed is about twelve thousand dollars, in
Guiding iewelry.

tent of f6,61G, with interest, amounting in all
10 about &c, 900, for failing TO send Il dispatch
promptly over the wires TO the address TO
which it was directed. The dispatch was from
Pittsburg 10 this city, and directed the sale of
L quantity OF petroleum; but by its non de-
livery, and by the consequent non perform
auce Of the business transaction, the plaintiffs
averred that they had suffered q loss equal 10
the sum for which they brought suit, and
which the jury promptly awarded. The yer.
dict Was Just and timely, and furnishes Il
warning which all our telegraph companies
Will do well TO heed. We have known several
cases of heavy loss and grievous disappoint-
ment by negligence in the telegraph Offices
similar TO that which has inst been punished in
this exemplary manner. Two or three of these
cases were OF 4 peculiarly aggravated nature !;
and yet the sufferers could get neither redress
nor explanation from the telegraph companies.
