reported to the agent, and i'm following sus-
pected individual he took seat in a car next TO
the ladies' car. The conductor. in passing
through, before looking at Mr.. Martins COM
mission, which served as his ticket, informed
MIR. Martin showed his commission as a special
officer OF the government, but the conductor
replied, can't help 1t; orders are orders. and

The conductor responded =" Well, I must put
you out at the next station" To watch Martin

for him to decide where he should be put. The
conductor then ordered the men TO carry Martin
into the car for cOlored people. which they did.
The fact that an United State otiicer n al been
put out of the car soon became known through
the train, and the object Of Mr.. Martins trip
was destroyed. On reaching Mobile, Mr.. Martin
called upon Mr. Wilson, the vice president OF

conductor had obeyed Instructions. Mr.. Martin
then laid the case before the United States Dis

one OF the clearest cases of obstructing United

expressed determination to enter suit tor ten
thousand dollars damages. Mr.. Wilson, the
vice president, and the conductor express regret
at the occurrence, but excuse the selves on the
ground that the orders OF the directors were
imperative.

Paul Wick and Powers came down
merely to look on" 1.-THE justice of
their side of the question was so APP
parent that they felt sure the Legisla-
ture would not fail to see It'll" What
innocence! So they patiently waited
for the result of the reference of the
question to the Committee on New
Counties. That Committee was in
session Wednesday evening and
Thursday forenoon, and the question
was argued before them by Messrs.
Newton and Servis, for Garfield, and
D. NJ. Wilson, Esq, for Youngstown.
The Committee after hearing the case,
unanimously agreed to make a report
in favor of the indefinite postpone
ment of the bill introduced by Mr..
Steel to submit the question of a re-
moval of the county seat to a popular
vote. This was a decided victory for
the Garfield interest, and our Youngs-
town friends will hardly have an
equal chance with Garfield for sue
cess if they bring their bill before the
whole House. Judge Newton says
those Youngstown fellows haven'tle
the Garfield folks have a good nights
sleep for twenty years, because of
their everlasting efforts to steal the
court house and Jail. He would like
to squelch them so that he could have
one really sound nap. We think he
can take a good long n now.
