A Faithful Dog.

The Peabody, Massachusetts, Press says:
Many persons who have had occasion to
visit the Essex depot in this town have for
some time past noticed a large dun-colored
dog, who anxiously watches the passengers
as they alight, as though seeking some par
tlcular person: This dog belonged to Mr..
Ernest s. Merrill, one of the victims of the
Revere disaster, who kept him at the house
of his father, S. A. Merrill, near the Iron
foundry: When young Merrill left home
for the last time, his dog left him at the
depot. All know the results of that fearful
collision, save the faithful dog that watches
tor his master, who will never come back,

The Ce3eFed Car 0nestiea.
From the Baltiuovo. Amoricon, |

We congratulate our community on the
disappearance yesterday Of the 9n-b0ards
on the cars Of the City passenger railway
''Colored persons Admitted to this car"
We think that our most intelligent msr.
chants, % we'll - al others Who. are look
ing to the commercial and industrial id
vancement Of Baltimore, will heartily
thank Judge Bond for his decision in the
Passenger Railway cAss, ct least 20 far -
i has caused the prompt disappearance
from the cars of the company Of those
badges of dead prejudice that should have
been removed long since Tho decision of
Jadge Giles. ON which these placards were
based, was made Intellectual for the purpose
intended, by the almost immediate action of
aien OF the colored cars, 90 that, for moro
than . year past, the company has made NO
attempt. to furnish adequate accommoda-
I ton tor them. After waiting . half hour
for ono Of the spotted cats, they would find
it overloaded with white people, and
scarcely room On the platform to Obtain q
footing. This was neither right NOR Just,
and We think that Judge Giles, in allowing
the company thus to evsde the spirit Of the
law, made mistake. 1t would have been
better to have required them to set apart
certain number Of cars for the exclusive use
Of colored persons, for if they had the right
to exclude one class Of passengers from cor
tain cara, they should havea BEEN required
to carry out the same principle With regard
to the other class.
When ourcity wascrowded With strangers
from all parts Of the county attending the
great convocations hero, this relic of . dead
prejudice was the subject Of constant re-
mark. It had disappeared from the cars
everywhere except hero in Baltimore, and
although assured it rather repteseatea the
prejudice of q private corporation than the
sentiment of the people, they expressed sur
prise that our courts allowed them to thus
trife with law and justice. Il was 1t this
time that we appealed 20 the company to
cease Haunting In the faes Of stEaneers this
badge Of shame, and not to await the action
Of the courts TO- compel an impartial en-.
forcement Of the Law. We can not keep
pace with the progress Of the ago in liberal
and humanitarian sentiment if such things
are allowed. and il beeonss the duty Of Ill
who are looking TO . brighter future for our
city to make haste to get lid Of any remnant
Of feeling that would indicats that We are
not . law-abiding and liberal-minded people.

and that the contract for the rebuilding OF

officer's opinion of the Southern situation:
Attorney General Akerman, in discussing
political affairs last evening, remarked that
persons who had not deeply looked into the
matter could not realize the extent Of the
Ku-Klux organizations in some sections Of
the Southern States. He says that having
been associated with the people Of the
South, and having recently travelled about
in that country and observed for himself,
that he is satisfied that it is impossible to
govern the people with local courts, juries,
ETC.. until the Ku-Klux organizations are
entirely broken up"

lows: Printed at his ever open and unin-
fluenced press, fronting Hanover square. I" Il
is we'll known that Rivington was Che royal

The title Of the paper originally contained

These symptoms were disliked by the

strOyed his presses and threw his type into

in fact, they had the advantages Of daily

Rivington, after all, was secret traitor to
the crown, and, in fact, the secret spy for
General Washington. Be this, however, a.
it may, as the war drew to close, and the
prospects OF the kings arms began to
darken. Rivington's loyalty began to cool
