Cough is symptom by which various diseased

II be recent attack, or lingering cough, the
Discovery is in either case equally we'll adapted

Lot by drying IL up, but by removing the cause

Civil Rights in the District.

Washington Correspondents of the Louisville
Commercial.1
Here, where the civil rights question has been
in virtual practical effect for long while, the
people seem to wonder how 1t is that such fuss
is made bout II. Colored men and women here
stand as fair a chance as the dominant race, and
can perceive no difference as to the department
of white or colored. True, there are some places
here where the colored man and brother is not
welcome, and last week two colored men from one
OF the low purlieus Of the city-a place agreeing
with Gray's or O'Neil's alleys-went into one Of
the fashionable hotel bar.rooms and demanded
liquor in o boisterous manner. They were &C.
commodRted, instead Of being pitched into the
street; then they went into q barber-shop close
by, kept by colored man, and were refused
shave and shampoon, and went yelling down the
street. This is an exceptional case. From what
i see Of the colored People-those who respect
themselves, mean-there Is no disposition to
crowd things, and there has been no demonstra-
tOn by them that any one can take umbrage ct.
The closing Of the hotels In Baltimore and Alex
andrfa, and the refusal Of the manager OF the
Gift Library Hall in your city to let o colored
man have a seat in the dress.circle, are matters
OF establishment with both white and colored.
The thing will settle down after this FIRST furry
is over, and all will be as peaceable as though
there had never been any excitement.
