Mr.. J. B. Hoxsie, it will be seen from
the dispatch of Capt. Jaques, has been
appointed Master Of Transportation of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-

This is undoubtedly splendid appoint

but few equals, and we confidently be-
lieve no supeTiOrs, He understands the
business thoroughly-every branch of it
and we heard but one opinion express
ed in regard to it yesterday, and that
was, that the Railroad Company was
fortunate in securing his services. He
is the right man in the right place, and
will make an efficient Master of Trans
pOrtatiOn.

''Jest so, Josiah!'
Hotel clerks who talk SASSY" to ''cul-
lud gemmen" wishing bed and board
will remember there is q huge fine for
violating the Civil Rights Bill.
Some of our very respectable colored
BARRIERS are greatly concerned at the idea
that the Civil Rights Bill may be appli-
cable to their business, but we have to
assure them that their business is a trade
and not public amusement, and that
under no construction of the law can it
be made applicable to them. They have
the undoubted right, in the exercise of
their trade, to refuse to shave any one
they may choose without regard to
race, color or previous condition of
servitude."
