BRUTAL TREATMENT OF COL.
ORED WOMAN BY THE POLICE.


A communication will be found In this
Issue from most reliable correspondent
detailing the facts In the case of Mrs.
Usher, one of the colored teachers in the
city schools of Richmond. The conduct
of the railroad employees and policemen
was inexpressibly brutal and Shameful
Even granting that Mrs. Usher had COM
mltted technical offence in entering car
from which she was excluded by the rules
OF the company-if indeed she were guilty
OF great crime--her sex would have
shielded her from insult and violence every
where among men. The cowardly brutal
ity described by our correspondent could
only be exhibited by savages. We ask
the police commissioners to probe this case,
and promptly discharge or punish those
members of Its force who have disgraced
their badges by this ruffianly and illegal
conduct.
The remedy for Mrs. Usher will be co.
ergetically applied by the United States
courts, and we are confident the parties to |
this outrage will not repeat it soon in
Richmond.

London, April 27.-A special to til,

executed some important movements nortl
OF Paris. The situation of the insurgent
south of Paris is said to be good.

The Communists have made several
sallies to intercept the work, and desperate
encounters have taken place at Bagneaux.

A general attack on the forts is expected
tonight. The Commune has sent its best
battalons to the south. The defence
nevertheless, appears insufficient.
Paris, April 2G-Eoening.-The TEMPS
proposes that Paris elect delegates to decide
whether the civil war shall continue or

passed at Versailles, to treat for the main
