The Rights Of Citizen indicated In
the U. s. Circuit Court yesterday, the case of
the Hon. j. j. Wright VS.. the Richmond aod
Danville railroad company, was called up for
trial.
The plaintiff in this case is Judge of the
Supreme Court of Appeals OF the State OF
South Carolina. The action grows out of bis
forcible expulsion from one OF the cars Of tho
above company.
The first witness called was Hon. E. A.
Sawyer, U. s. Senator from South Carolina,
who testified, in substance, that be accom-
panied the plaintiff in December, 1869, with
Senator Robertson and others, from Columbia,
). o., to Washington, d. c., and until their
arrival at Clover, station on the Danvile
road. they occupied firstclass car.
John M. Morris, editor of the Washington
Chronicle, testified that he was one of the party
that accompanied the plaintiff and Senators
Sawyer and Robertson from Columbia. At
Greensboro, N. O., plaintiff was ordered out of
the car, in which the party were riding, by
the conductor, but refused to go and was not
mo'ested. AT Glover station, in Virginia. be
was ordered cut BY the President of the road,
General Buford. The plaintiff refused, unless
force should be used. Thereupor, General
Buford, addressing some three or four men,
said: "Weil, boys, take him out" The plain.
till was then hustled out quite roughly, and
placed in a second class car, in which be re-
mained until the arrival of the train at Rich
mond.
AT this point the court adjourned until this
morning, when the counsel in the case AM
nounced that settlement had been effected
upon the acceptance Of the offer of the Rich>
mond and Danville company to pay Judge
Wright 81 200.
Judge Wright had a lady with him, go that
the plea that he had been elected from the car
because it was ladies' car had no force. The
acknowledgment of guilt could not have been
more plainly shown than was made by this
offer to pay the plaintiff.
