Georgia Railroad last Friday, and this is the
way it was managed. The civil Fighters, a
mulatto and his wife, entered the ladies car,
and in response to the remark of the conduc-
tor that the colored peoples car was ahead,
they said they had tickets to the Centennial,
and intended to remain in that car. Coupling
on another coach, the conductor invited the
other passengers into it, leaving the sable oc.
cupants of the former coach alone in their
glory. At Conyers, party entered the train

Graded Schools.
"A correspondent of the Raleigh Ne,os
makes the following reference to the graded
school which has for some time been in opera
tion in Greensboro, N. c.:
Greensboro has one feature that ought to
make Raleighites blush with shame, and that
is her graded school, I did not have time to
visit the school; but every one l saw was ex-
tolling the graded school, and seemed to
be as proud Of it as though free gold mine
had been found in the centre Of the city, and
every body had access to it, made this re.
mark to one of Greensboro's favorite lawyers.
Yes! he said, it is better than the gold mines
of Ophir and one great point was they re-
ceived none of the peabody Fund" but the
expenses were paid by direct taxation upon
the valued property of the city. 1t was upon
every body's tongue, three hundred children
going to a free graded school every day. This
is another step in the right direction, and when
we can say to the people desiring to settle in
our good old State that every city, town and
county have free graded schools, and State
Normal schools to educate our teachers, then
our bright star and silver lining will come.
The Turkish Question.
The war cloud in Europe, which threat
ened the peace of several powers few days
ago, seems to have eliminated in the dethrone-
ment of the Sultan, Abdul.Aziz Khan, and
the proclaiming of Murad Efendi, heir pre-
sumptive to the imperial throne, as Emperor
of Turkey. The revolution was effected with
out disturbance, and was accomplished in the
following manner: After vainly soliciting
the Sultan to adopt reforms the Grand Vizier
and Hussein Avni Pasha and Midhat Phsha
resolved to depose him. The Dolma Bagh-
tepe palace was beset with troops, Murad was
proclaimed Sultan in presence Of all the min.
listers, the Shek ul Islam and the Mollahes
Then Sol,iman Pasha, accompanied by SOL
diers and officers, informed Abdul Aziz that
the nation had deposed him and he should
deliver up the palace to his successor. The
attitude of the troops convinced Aziz that re-
sistance was impossible. He, with his family
household and 53 boats filled with women,
were conveyed under escort to the Top Kopou
palace. After remaining there few days,
he committed suicide by opening the veins of
his arm with pair Of scissors,
The effect of the movement will probably
be to quiet the disturbed condition of affairs,
which so recently threatened to involve sew.
eral great powers in war. The new Sultan
bids fair to be popular with his subjects; and
though he has proclaimed Mahometanism as
the true creed, Christians will be protected.
Already several disguised agents, who have
been endeavoring to excite the populace to
massacre the Christians, have been arrested ;
and several persons, exiled for political Of
fenses during the last reign, have been re-
called.
