IL the United States District Court
in Admiralty, at Baltimore, Md, on
the 18th instant, before Judge Giles, a
suit vas brought BY a colored female
school teacher against the msster Of q
steamer, to recover damages for fore
ing the plaintiff out Of the first into
the second cabin, OH the ground Of her
color. Judge Giles, In giving his de-
cision. said that since the great changes
which have taken place in the country,
and the decision Of the U. 5. Supreme
Court In the Passenger Railway cases,
It was not in the power OF common car
rlers to make Determinations rs to
color In transporting passengers. But
as the captain Of the steamer in this
case was acting In obedience to his In
structions. he would not award exem-
plary damages in the case. The Court
then gave a decree for $25 damages
aud costs.

STRANGE CASE.

From the Marysvllle Appeal. June al
Vim. Doty, the man whose throat
was cut some time ago by robbers, who
LEFT him for dead, Is still alive. He
will be removed from his home In Sui
phur Spring Valley. to Colusa today.
Ills death apparently Is but a question
Of time, as his throat Is cut In such a
manner rs to preclude the possibility
OF the severed wind plpo uniting. We
understand that 1t Is the opinion Of the
physicians attending him, that a piece,
including the "swallow," or adams
apple" was cut completely out, by
the two wounds Inflicted, as the sew
cred portions are now some two Inches
apart, and cannot DO united. All
nourishment Is taken through a tube
inserted In the orifice, aud Ills breath
Il drawn lE and expelled In the same
manner. It Is a remarkable case, and
should attract the attention Of the best
physicians IN the country. Some one
Of them perhaps might win unbounded
fame in his profession by effecting a
union Of the severed parts, If such a
thing Is possible.

Tue new Postal bill, which has be-
come q law, authorizes the use Of one
cent postal cards for correspondence,
similar to those introduced in Great
Britain nearly two years ago. The
House provided in the bill for cards
with a paper flap to cover aud conceal
the writing; the Senate changed this
to All open card. In conference com.
mittee the style OF card was left to the
discretion OF the Postmaster General,
who Is understood to prefer tho open
card. The face Of the card will bear u
one-cent stamp, and will be provided
with lines for the address, and the
back will be ruled for the letter. The
postage on circulars, newspapers, and
other transient printed matter, which
under the old law was two cents for
every four ounces or less, Is now one
cent for every two ounces or less.
Small circulars, which formerly cost
two cents to mall, can now be sent tor
one cent.

FlAaaIHa THE MOON.
From the Truckee Republican, June 81.

From the Truckee Republican, juno ell
A good story Is going the round
among railroad men, OF which Sam
Young, we'll known here In Truckee,
Is the hero. Sam 1t appears Is the con-
ductor OH n freight train running to
Vlsalia on the Southern Pacific road.
4 few nights ago, when the moon was
ut Its I" full" his train was steaming
over the broad plain near Visalla, just
as the great orb Of night was rising.
The moon appeared like a locomotive
head light In front of the train appa-
rently ut a considerable distance ahead.
Sam, the Instant lie espied the light,
| yelled out to the engineer, "Stop the
train and prevent a collision, for Gods
sake. There Is u train coming toward
u, like lightning" The alarm was
given, the brakes whistled down In n
jitfy, and the train stopped. The con-
ductor jumped of and ran on ahead q
few hundred yards as rapidly as posi-.
BILE OH the track and commenced
swinging his red lantern AZ q signal Of
danger TO the supposed approaching
train. After worrying himself out In
running and swinging his light he
stopped a moment, completely out OF
breath, and took a square look at the
fancied monster in trout. Sam Young
saw the "man In the moon" and the
truth flashed upon him TINT he was aw-
fully bilked. lie fastened back to his
train and told the engineer to 90
ahead, as the danger Of a collision was
moro remote than he had calculated.
The engineer, fireman, and brakeman
discovered the mistake before the COIL
ductor did, and when the latter re-
turned, there was such an explosion Of
laughter rs probably never heard be-
tore on q freight train. Sam promised
to stand treat for the next six months,
IL the parties who witnessed the blum
der would agree not to make 1t public.
But the joke was too broad and too
good to keep, aud In spite Of the prom
ises made it leaked out.

QUESTION OF ytRAcIrY.
Ru,Iy Pi.,. sseyens, DerIaeer.

As a matter Of justice We yesterday
published the following card from
Mrs. Emily Pitts Stevens to the pub
lie. To-day We publish 1t again, to-
gether with appended remarks from
the San Francisco Bulletin Of yester-
day in reply to said card:
SAN FRANcIsco, June 25, 1872.
have been most unjustly accused
By the Press. never pointed q pistol
at Assemblyman Meeker or any other
person In my life. Beings member OF
the Peace Society, I am totally OPP
posed to tile use Of firearms. l am
forced to defend myself from this most
unfortunate statement, and believe l
am prosecuted by opponents Of the
Woman Suffrage cause ; therefore l re-
quest the Press throughout the Pacific
Coast to publish this statement.
EMILY PrrTs-STEvENs.
Mrs. Stevens denies that sho pointed
the pistol at Mr.. Meeker, but does not
deny having had the weapon in her
possession. The truth OF the whole
matter, as near as can be ascertained
from reliable eyewitness. appears to
be this: Shortly after the first disturb
ance in the meeting, and the bandying
of words between Meeker, Burke Phil
lips and the women, a lady friend OF
Mira. Stevens handed her an unloaded
deringer plstol-she says, as an act of
pleasantly. Mrs. Stevens placed the
weapon In her pocket, and several per-
sons saw 1t in her possession. When
the meeting adjourned, and Mr.. Meek
er, Mrs. Stevens and Others were In
the hall leading to the street, she de-
msnded satisfaction from the former,
and stood near him ut the time. A re-
porter Of 4 morning paper saw the
pistol In her right hand pointed first
across her own breast to the Left. Then
she changed the position Of her hand
aud brought the muzzle to bear directly
upon the body Of Meeker. At that
instant the reporter caught hold Of the
pistol aud drew it down. Mrs. Ste
vens would not let go her hold, and he
wrenched the weapon ont Of her hand.
Meeker passed on, and Mrs. Stevens
asked the reporter to give her the pis-
toll and she would replace 1t In her
pocket. He gave up the derlnger and
She put 1t away. The lady who gave
it to her says the pistol was not loaded
and that she so told Mrs. Stevens at
the tlme.-BuUesiR.

THE INDIREcT CLAIMS.

According to latest kilograms the
Geneva Court Of Arbitration Is getting
along swimmlngly, and the prospect Is
that all differences between England
and America as set forth In the Treaty
of Washington will be settled In an
unexpectedly short time and that
much jeopardized treaty be saved and
preserved rs a basis Of future reference
and action. The claims for Indirect
damages. that IL to say, loss to marine
Insurance, ~prolongation Of the war,
interest, ETC.. consequent upon the I'M
checked career of the Alabama and
other rebel privateers upon u COM
merce, fitted out In British ports, are
withdrawn by the United States, and
tho direct claims for damages done by
those prlyateers will only be consid-
cred. This action induced the Eng
lish Commissioners to withdraw their
motion for \ long adjournment, and
the business OF the Arbitration being
made plain, It will be finished up and
disposed Of with alacrity and
dispatch. These indirect claims
have been tho only obstacle In
tho way Of q settlement, and
1t Is gratifying to see them with
drawn. The fact OF 1t Is, as we
have before stated, that our Govern
ment was a little too greedy and tried
to claim a little too much. England
was willing or would agree to pay
whatever direct damages the Court Of
Arbitration should award, yet was not
willing to pay damsges resulting from
damages to any unreasonable or ill.,
finite extent. II may look like back
Ing down on the part OF our Govern
ment; yet, after all, the withdrawal Of
these indirect claims from the Arbitra-
ton was no disavowal Of them, but
simply q measure to facilitate the set
Element of the great matter Of the
treaty. Yet it Is not very probable
that those indirect claims will e be
revived by our Government. They
certainly will not under the Treaty of
Washington, and the settlement Of all
other matters under the treaty will be
conducted now just As though there
had been no controversy relative to the
presentation Of Indirect claims.
