not an advertisement crowded out
of the regular issue, but such a one
as would never be inserted in re-
gular issue. 1t is true that each
case Of this nature must be judged
ofby its own peculiar characteristics,
but there is a wide distinction be-
tween the genuine supplement
spoken of in the post-ofice regula-
ton, and as there defined and des-
cribed, and a hand-bill, advertise
ment or circular, the distinctive
character of which as distinguished
from newspaper supplement, is
readily appreciated by the popular
understanding, and determines the
law of the case.
'It does not appear. as I have
before remarked, that the defendant,
in this case purposely violated tb' ,
post-ofice acts and Regulations,
but having done SO, although igor ,
antly, the law requires me to over ,
'ule the motion and impee the
'tatuary penalty and the osts."

@rTake from the Legislative
lobby the so-called responsibility
concerned in it. Weed out the
rank and let the file alone, and what
would be the result Z? We make
the statement that nine out of ten
of the so-called "brass tackled" bills
were originated and conceived by
those men who are, since the de-
feat of their schemes, in the front
of the so-called Reformers, and
where these swindles have not been
conceived by this class they have
been by prominent Democrats. To
this statement we challenge con-
tradiction.

RAILROAD INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE.

We regard as eminently proper
the appointment of a committe Of
members of the Legislature "to in
vestigate and report whether any
chartered railroad companies in this
State, the interest upon whose bonds
is paid by the State, have violated
their charters by refusing or failing
to comply with the provisions Of
article ID of the Constitution, and
the laws framed Hereunder" be-
cause, if we mistake not, there have
been frequent and loud complaints
that on all the railroads run out of
the State there are cruel distinctions
made among the passengers purely
on account of color.
The Picayune thinks cit is well
enough to enquire whether the Jack
son Railroad Directory had agreed,
before the transfer of the road, that
no differences should be made be-
tween their white and colored pas
sengers, and also as to any other
railroad company which may have
imprudently made similar pledges"
1t is we'll enough to do considerable
more than this.
The grounds and authority for
will be based on the annual
subsidy paid by the State in the
shape of interest on bonds, etc., the
matter for investigation will be
whether the terms of the charters
Of these companies have been COM
piled with. There were no pledges
''imprudently made" by any COM
pany. Each one in his turn sought
Legislative aid and the Legislature
IN its turn imposed constitutional
which were accepted;
he attractions of which ought to be
punished if the Legislature would
ecure the respect Of their party
nd their people.
1t is useless for ''the peoples
aper" to endeavor to divert atten-
ion from this matter by referring ,
, "other questions of great i'm 6
ortance. If it will fairly lend its
lpport to the advocacy of meas G
res which secure our equal re-
ignition among mankind, if it 3 3
