The Louisville Railroad TrOuble-Street
Railroad COmpanies Succumb.


LOUISVILLE. May li.-As has been stated
in these letters, jury in the United States
Court the other day found Il verdict in
favor of three colored men who sued the
Central Railway Company for damages be-
cause the driver would not let them ride in
side of the cars. The verdict encouraged
some OF the cOlOred people who were in
search of their rights to insist upon enjoy
ing the same street car privileges that were
accorded to the winter portion of the com
munity.
For two or three days thew were frus-
trated, however, by the drivers of the cars
who always whipped up their mules and
increased their speed whenever they saw
niger" who looked as if he wanted to
ride: or, if taken uuawares, and the mig
ger" got in the car and paid his fare, de
spite the drivers efforts to prevent him
from doing so, the only alternity." as the
drivers called it, was to run the car off the
track, transfer the uncolOred passengers to
the next car that came along, if they choose
to wait so long and let the mule rest till
the "darkey" got tired resting. Thus, for
three days, small portion of the cOlored
population kept the street car drivers and
their companies in hot water, and nearly
ruined the white passenger " business of
the several roads.
The frequent attempts of the negroes to
ride, and their failure to do so, caused a
great deal of excitement in the city, and
the newspaper reporters gleefully antici-
pated terrible riots and blOOdshed. Sunday
was the day set by the reporters for their
greatest trouble, for then the colored men
would have nothing else to do but ride on
the cars. and somebody that wasn't colored
would get himself full of beer and under
take to whip somebody that was cOlOred,
and that was the way grand riot would
begin.
But the Mayor even Baxter, Gifted up
his eyes and beheld" the impending 'dif-
ficulty," and called the several presidents
and superintendent of the railroads to-
gether, and advised with them in reference
to the matter, and after due consultation it
was decided that the negro was wrong, but
the law said he was right, and as it wouldn't
do to buck against bayonets, or to bring
down the provisions of the Ku-Klux bill
upon the Inhabitants Of Louisville, it was
decided that every body, without regard to
race, or color or previous condition of servi-
tude," was entitled to ride on or in the cars,
and the day has been as quiet as the Sun
day in a New England village.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Knowing your zeal and interest in the
welfare of the city, would you have the
kindness to obtain from the City Admins
traitors, or the New Orleans Gaslight Com
pany, the reasons for which Craps street,
now Burgundy street, bounded by Esplan-
ade and Elysian Fields streets, being the
upper portion of the Third District, is not
lit with gas, when obscure streets miles
away down the Old Third have that ac-
commodation, although deserted as soon as
night comes-streets which can not COM
pare with Burgundy, which is paved, broad,
and lined with elegant residences and
churches! And it is certain that the Seventh
Ward, in which is included the above named
street, is the most beautiful, populous and
heaviest taxpaying of the Third District,
and therefore should command the accom-
mediation asked for. Respectfully,
JUSTICE.

Sheridan's Speech at Boston.

General Sheridan, at the meeting of the
Army of the Potomac Association, said:
Gentlemen-I will not detain you long.

being or having been member of the Army
of the Potomac; but | think feel prOuder
since my return home than at any period

privilege of seeing nearly every army in
Europe. Some of these armies are in the
field, and some are in peace at home; and
although it was not my privilege to be a
member OF the Army of the Potomac at
that period of its existence which has been
related by our distinguished orator, still it
was my great delight and pleasure TO be a
member of it during the last year of the

know it very well toward the last. l can
only say, in conclusion, that of all the
armies / have seen, have seen none whose
standard of excellence was higher than that
of the Army of the Potomac during the
last year of the war. Loud cheers.

At Tuesdays session of the City Council
Administrator Lewis made a few remarks
when the subject of Mayor Flanders veto
ON Administrator Remick's organizing his
department came up, and he made state
mpnt or two which will bear further discus
sion. Speaking of policemen having at one
time performed the duties of market COM
missaries he said that commissioners could
not make arrests. Any citizen has right
and is in duty bound to arrest an offender,
whether in the markets or elsewhere. He
also stated that the Board of Police Com
missioners does not feel disposed to permit
its patrolmen to perform few trihing du-
ties which are now attended to by wharf
myers We supposed it was pet measure
with the commissioners to have their men
assist in saving that expense. His state
ment that the Council has no power to
make the board perform such duties
brought the Mayor to his feet IN denial,
saving that "the Metropolitan Police law
requires the police to carry out the laws
and ordinances passed by the City Council.
Mr.. Lewis further stated that the Police
Commissioners had withdrawn their officers
from Recorder Staes' court The Recorder
and Captain Mccain will certainly dis
pute him on that point, as three
or four officers are and have been con-
tinually on duty in that court, the
number allowed. We do not say that the
mum Der is sufficient, but we believe that
the First District Recorders Court has the
same number of officers, and Recorder
Houghton's labors are greater than are

Ladies are carrying parasOls with long,
heavy handles and long points, using them as
walking sticks and as lady has about as
much idea of using cane as a man has of
a fan, it is extremely ludicrous to behold
the operation. First, You are reminded of
a t1atboat on the Mississippi, with some en-
ergetic raftsman showing her along in the
mud; then, as she comes nearer, prodding
the harmless sidewalk, you think OF men
you've seen spearing cells, till finally you see
she is not acting cnarade, and begin to
pity her for poor blind girl, but all of a
sudden find it's only girl of the period
trying to walk with an overgrown cane, thai
has slight eruption of parasol broken out
along its spine.

st. Marks Church.

There was an interesting reunion. last
Monday evening, of the members and con-
gregation of ST. Marks Protestant Episco-
pal church, at the corner of st. Charles and
Valence streets, in the Sixth District. The
occasion was the presentation of com
munion service for the use of the sick, to
the esteemed rector of the church, Rev. Mr.
Morrison. The presentation was made by
Mr. Mason with the following remarks:
1t becomes my pleasing duty to present
to YOU, in behalf of this congregation, a
token of their respect and esteem, and to
convey to YOU the qualification of your
friends and Pensioners at the untir-
ing zeal you have shown in establishing
this church. under so many discOuragements,
a zeal which we hope at no distant day Will
enable us to cause a noble editice to rise
where our humble church now stands. |
can truly say that you have won the love
and respect of all who sit under your
ministratiOn. We beg your acceptance OF
this communion service, to be used at the
bedside of those who are, by sickness or in
trinity, debarred from partaking of the
holy sacrament at our altar. As it is typical
of our Saviour's love for us, so may you in
its use be kept in remembrance of our unity
as a congregation. and our atfectionate re-
gard for our rector.
The Rector made suitable response.
The congregation of st. Marks will have
a fete cbampetre, for the purpose OF aiding
in the erection of a more suitable church
building than their present edifice. The fete
will commence on the twenty-fourth in
slant. at Carrollton, and continue the
