MS SHIRT.

4 coUntryman bought a shirt in Ra-
leigh, y. c., which was the first white
one he had ever owned. The Eext Sun
day he was to be married, and that was
the important occasion that had melted
him to the purchase. The shirt had a
nice starched bosom, and WIS open in
the back-a style that was new to its
possessor. After careful study he put
it on with the opening in front, concIud-
ing that the stiff bosom was intended as
a kind of shoulder-brace to make his
stand erect. Thus dressed, he met him
bride at the church door but her knowl-
edge was greater than his about shirts,
and she made him go home and reverse
the garment before she would allow the
ceremony to proceed.

A ROW THREATENED.
Meeting of the Conservative Ne
grOeS.

According to the published call, there was
quite gathering last night Of the Conserva-
tive Democratic colored men at Exposition
Hall, on Carondelet street.
The meeting was called by the representa-
tives of the Conservative negroes, and it was
anticipated there would be a large assembkge
At Z o'clock those who had been members of
the old club assembled, and were about going
into the meeting-room, when it was reported
that Mr.. Pinchback had crowd of his sup
porters on the outside.
As it was, those who desired to attend left,
and in q few moments the hall was vacant
Pinchback was on hand, as it was reported
that q committee would wait upon him in
reference to his past political conduct 1t
Was thought that there might be q collision
between the two crowds, but after some little
delay both parties moved off A representa-.
tive of the BULLETIN interviewed several Of
those present, and they pronounced that "no
meeting Of Conservative negroes could take
place as long as such opposition to Pinchbsck
was to be made"
Que L. D. Herbert who was there, said that
there were q number Of negroes present who
intended to join the new club. and they
hoped the committee to be appointed would
visit Mr.. Pinchback, for then they would re-
ceive the castigation they SO richly deserved.
From all that could be gathered it was evil
dent that there was an intention to raise
disturbance on the part of Pinchbsck's fol-
lowers. As it was, the meeting turned out to
be q failure.

The Law of the Rail.

Some one who has taken the trouble to
post himself on the law governing railroad
passenger travel, says that extra charges for
failure to buy tickets are universally sus-
tanned BY the courts, but there must be full
opportunity to buy afforded by the ticket
seller. Passengers must show tickets when
asked for. As to stopping of, there is only
one decision, which is that q passenger can
not stop off, and resume his journey, without
the previous assent of the company. AS to
the obligation of the road to furnish seat to
passenger. a decision says: "a passenger
who exhibits his ticket need not surrender it
until he has been furnished with q seat" A
railroad is not liable for things stolen out of q
passengers seat, there being no previous de-
livery to the companys servants; for the same
reason the com pany is not liable for baggage
in the passengers own care.
Passengers who neglect to look after their
own baggage on arrival at their destination
can not recover it if it is lost without fault of
the carrier. Baggage left in station houses
for the passengers convenience, after it has
reached its destination, comes under o new
class of rights and duties, the baggage-master
assuming the position of gratuitous bailee,
who only becomes liable in cases of gross neg
ligence. The obligation of the railroad as
carrier ceases when it has delivered it to its
owner at the place of destination, or when he
has had reasonable opportunity of receiving
and removing it. 1t will interest sportsmen
to know that they may recover for the
value of dogs when they entrust them to bag.
gage-masters for hire, because of their exclu.
sion from the passenger cars.

The Springfield Register opposes the ex-
tension of government aid to the Southern
Pacific road on the ground that 1.-THE inter-
nal improvement theory has Invested the
nation of the public lands" and it opposes
"any further attempt" to put this theory in
practice. It is hardly necessary to say that
in this instance the government is not asked
to give single acre; but supposing it were,
will the Register havs the goodness to inform
us what the "public lands" west Of the Mis-
sissippi River would probably be worth to-day
if it hadn't been for the "internal improve
ment theory?"
Admit that enormous sums have been stolen
under the cover of subsidies, grants and
monopolies, has the nation at large been
really the gamer or the loser by the oon-
struction of railway enterprises. that, if left
to private capital, would never have been
built at all ? Is it nothing that vast territories
have been opened to settlement that would
otherwise be still bowling wilderness, OF
that property now worth untold mil
lions would otherwise have remained
unsaleable and out of the market? Is
it nothing that without the application Of
this "internal improvement theory, in the
Just and modified manner proposed, an i'm.
mense region must remain indefinitely unde.
veloped and forever exposed to a predatory
warfare, that will eventually cost the govern
ment more than it will ever be required tc
pay on the bonds? These are certainly rea
sonable questions, and entitled to reason
able answer.-iS Louis Times.

THE TWO ORPHANS.

After considerable waiting and more impe-
tuosity on the part of those who had the for
tune not to see the dramatic representation of
the two faith erless and motherless, nothing has
transpired to assuage their SORROWS. An at
tempt was made to run in a new scene in the
way of an order from the United States Cir
cult Judge, but as yet nothing is known of
its success, and therefore the public will have
to await further denouements.
The delays Of the law and the hardness of
the legal prompter to ring up the curtain,
even when a gaping public await the per-
Torrance, only whets the appetite.

At the approaching election in Virginia. an
entire House of Delegates and half the mem
bers of the State Senate, are to be chosen.
Outside OF its local importance, however, the
present canvass acquires interest abroad from
The fact that a United States Senator is to be
elected this winter, in place of Mr. Johnston,
whose term expires in 1877. A healthful and
vigorous conservatism being the dominant
element in the politics Of Virginia, the COM
petition for the Senatorship is OF course an
entirely one-sided affair, but fortunately there
is an abundance of good material from which
to select. The names of John Letcher, Tom.
Bocock r. NJ. T. Hunter, Gilbert @. Walker,
John Goode and J. w. Daniel are prominently
mentioned in this connection.-S. Louis
