soeIaIRlahI. Of the Negro.

Judge Giles, in the United
States district court, at Baltimore,
has recently delivered an impor-
tant opinion IN the case of a negro
passenger claiming damages for
being elected from passenger car
on q railroad. The Judge held
that the conductor had no right to
eject the passenger from the car on
account of his color, but that 1t
was the duty Of the company, as
common carriers, TO have provided
q car in which colored persons
could ride without any violation OF
the rules OF the road. He assumed
that q railroad company had the
same right to distinguish between
whites and blacks that it had to
distinguish between the sexes in
supplying the means of convey
ance, butno right to discriminate
as to the quality Of acommoda-
ton between passengers paying
the same fare. In accordance with
this principle, seperate cars for
colored people are now run on the
Baltimore street railroads. The
Gazette, describing the first days
experience, says-"In several in
stances negroes attempted to get
on cars other than those especially
designated for their accommoda-
ton, but they we're required to get
oil. The indication yesterday
was, that the revenue to be derived
from this accommodation to the
negro race will be very small; in
deed, insufficient to pay the eX
penses ofruning those particular
cars"

SoME Of the Radical papers of
this vicinity and this State have
been endeavoring to make a point
of the alleged fact that Gov. Eng
lish, Of Connecticut, was in favor
of the 18th Amendment. Read
the following from that Governors
message to the State Legislature
and see how correct such papers
were:
"The right to vote is consti-
tutional privilege in Connecticut,
and the qualifications of an elector
are prescribed by the State Con
stitution. The General Assem-
bly, has now power over the sub
ject. That instrument, as it now
stands, prescribes no qualification
for any others than white citizens.
The Governor is not insensible
to the circumstances attending the
adoption Of the 18th Amendment
us proclaimed by the President Of
the United States. The fact is
notorious that the ratification OF
several Of the States was accom-
plished by chicanery and force,
which would properly yitiate any
contract between one citizen and
another.
In its object and effect, too, it is
revolutionary Of that system OF
government which recognizes local
self-governmcnt as necessary to
the stability and Indispensable tC
the practical working of republi
can institutions.
By the power Of appropriate
legislation which it gives to Con
gress it commits to the absolute
control of the General Govern
ment the right to vote in ever.
State, and the mockeries of cleo
tons which have in the past fe'
years been held in the sOuther
States, under the bayonetS Of th
Federal Government, are a sun
Cient commentary upon the liabil
ty to abuse such an impOrtaE
power"

TIE New York World says the
Red River difficulty was about
this: In 1867 Charles II, granted
the territory in question to the
Hudson's Bay Company i'll fee
simple, rcseving always the SOW

Parliament passed an act to con-
solidate the various British North
American possessions into one
State, to be known as the Domin-

peg into the confederation, virtu-
ally forced the Hudson's Bay
Company to give up its posses
sory right. On this the Domin-
ion Parliament proceeded to ex'
tend its jurisdiction over the Red
River country by appointing d
Lieutenant Governor to rule the

The affairs Of Gov. Bullock, Of
Georgia, are being closely inyesti
gated in Congress It seems. The
committee are very reticent con.
cerning their investigations, but
it is limited that this matter will
soon be wound up and will present
some startling exposures to go be-
fore the country, From what is
stated by different parties, it seems
that Senator Carpenter, Of Wis
consin, and Senator Upton, Of
Nebraska, were approached BY
representatives of the opponents
of the Bingham amendment. Both
are said to have become very
much enraged at this reflection
upon their integrity. The parties
made a mistake in their men. The
statements given TO the commit
tee of Bullock and his schemes
are very singular 1t is alleged
that all over Georgia, he has ap-
pointed to Office in every case
where asked, the relatives Of mem.
bers of the Legislature. 1t is
charged that Bullock never has
been taxpayer in Georgia; that
he was elected President Of the
Augusta and Macon Railroad by
Foster Blodgct, Mayor Of Angus.

that the object of this is to so dis

battle Of Las Miuas the major
part ofmy command we're negroes,
and | must say they were about
the best soldiers / ever saw in &C.
ton. Though poorly arm
cd, they made hash Of the
Spaniards under Puell, and gave
them such an awful whipping that
the Spanish General never held
up his head after. I think that
battle turned the tide for us; we
got large quantity Of arms and
supplies, and have been doing we'll
ever since. l want yon 70 publish,
sir, that when asked to speak
about Cuba, I am not going 10
favor the Cubans any more than l
would favor the Spaniards. l
mean to tell q square story, for l
believe the truth, and the whole
truth, will benefit the cause OF
Cuba far more than If / were to say
that every Cuban soldier had a
Spencer rife, a new uniform, and
a new pair Of shoes. And more,
/ want to say a few words for the
American officers in Cuba-they
have all done their duty well and
faithfully. Colonel William A c.
Ryan, on landing from the Anna
and reporting at headquarters
was assigned to the position Of
chief Of staff of General Quesada
and has done much against the
enemy since then. He is a brave
dashing and judicious officer, ant
has earned the respect and es
teen Of all brother officers. i
affords me great pleasure to bC
able to pay a similar tribute Il
the other American officers il
Cuba"
II have not the slightest doub
but that the Cuban struggle viii
succeed. No matter whether theS
do not receive rifles, the summe
is coming on, the Cubans are nov
as strong as ever, and won't tn,
vOmito thin the Spanish regulars
Besides, the Cubans are bette
soldiers than the Spaniards; the!
don't fight for money, they fgh
for their wives, their sisters AM
their homes, and so they are AM
mated with far different feeling
from those which actuate tn
Spaniards, and accordingly theT
is not one Of them that will nc
fight to death rather than surreT
der or quit their position.
"You may nave noticed the c.
traordinary ndmber of Spanis
victories reported lately. Nov
let me assure you that they al
