A Test Case in the .. s. Circuit Court.

The case of Andrew Thomp, on, colored,
against the Baltimore City Passenger Ruii
way Company was tried before his Honor
Judge Giles, in the U. 8. Circuit Court last
week. The following are some of the main
facts in the case:
The plaintiff, Thompson, colored citizen (?)
of the State of New York, got on the front
platform of car of the Charles street line,
on the Both October, 1869, on Calvert street.
While occupying that position which is re-
served + n The use of colored persons by the
Company, lie paid his fare, seven cents, after
which he walked into the interior of the car
and seated himself Upon observing this in
fraction of the rules of the company, the
conductor ordered him back to the front plat
form, and upon his refusing to go, the car
was stopped, whereupon the plaintiff left the
car by way of the front platform,
Suit was instituted by Thompson, and the
question as to the right of colorcd persons to
ride in the cars being the main issue, came
up upon demurrer, and was decided by the
Judge in the affirmative. We have no COM
ments to offer on this case, as we regard it
as but the beginning of many similar suits, in
all probability, looking to the perfect and COM
plete equality of the negro. These are but
some of the small fruits of the prolific eff
teenth Amendment" Larger and more i'm
portant crops are rapidly ripening for the
future

THE NEWS.

Another of those terrible accidents that
cast gloom over the entire country, occur
red at Richmond. Virginia, on Wednesday
of last week. The floor of the chamber of
the Court of Appeals, in the State Capitol
building, situated Immediately over the hall
ofthe House of Delegates, where hundreds of
persons had gathered to hear the decision of
Court in the contested mayoralty case, between
Cahoon and Ellyson, gave way and fell with
frightful crash, precipitating the densely
packed mass of people to the floor below,
upon caucus meeting of conservative mem
bers of the Legislature, which was about to
assemble in the Legislative Chamber. About
sixty persons were killed and some two hun
dred injured more or less severely. Among
those killed outright were some of the most
prominent citizens of Virginia, and other
States, comprising Patrick Henry Aylett a
prominent lawyer, and grandson of Patrick
Henry, of revolutionary fame. Dr. Brock of
the Richmond Enquirer and Examiner E. M.

A PLEA FOR THE OPPRESSED.

1t is getting to be very nearly time for
somebody to speak word in behalf of the
achite man. Because he is mhite, the MAORI
ty are in favor of subordinating him to the
negro. and are considerably inclined to
make distinctions adverse to him on account
of his color-and because he is man the
"strong minded" are also unmerciful in their
attacks upon him; and Mrs. Cady Stanton &
Company are decidedly gaining ground. He
is thus hemmed in upon ali sides and between
the Scylla and Charibdis of his troubles,
stands more than even cha &c of being
"swamped.' The Chinese arc also in re-
serve, to work him further woe-not to men,
ton the Indians and Esquimaux.
We confess ourselves as being little
timid at undertaking his cause as
the opprobrious epithet of white mans
party is already being hurled at a certain
organization, which, "old-fogy" like, has had
the temerity to proclaim that he has certain
rights remaining which ought to be respec-
ted. Massachusetts, it is true, has taken one
small step lately for his political benefit. She
had fettered his right to vote until recently,
with certain qualifications as to reading and
writing. Bya singular coincidence, however,
upon the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment,
she repealed the act imposing these restric-
tions, and the poor white man" is now per-
mitted to vote as well as the negro, even
though he cannot read and write. But then,
Massachusetts always was ahead in that
model idea of freedom which gives every
man the right to enjoy his own opinion and
to prosecute his neighbor for attempting to
enjoy his. Honor to her unselfsh action in
behalf of the white mai!

Eoca1 Affairs.

PATENT IssUED.-Amoag the patents is
sued for the week ending May 81, we notice
one to Samuel Whitaker, Esq, residing neal
this place, for an automatic gate. This gatd
is so contrived that upon approaching it, thd
wheels of the vehicle pass over a bar that
opens it, and passing over another bar it ID
closed in the same manner. The value OF
the fixture is that it can be fitted to any or
binary gate; is perfectly simple in its con
struction, and answers the purpose for which
it is intended perfectly. We have no doubt
from what we learn from those WHO have
seen il, that it is a valuable patent, and will
come into general use There have been
several attempts to supply the want of this
kind of a gate, but so many extra posts and
so much complicated machinery has beer
employed to effect the purpose, that they
have hitherto proved of small value. Moth
ing of the kind, we are informed, is employed
here; and its simplicity of design and easy
adjustment to any gate, give it all the advan
tages.
