Horace Greeley and the South.

Gen. Merritt, who accompanied
Horace Greeley on his southern cam
paign tour, says in card to the New
York Tribune:
At Jackson, Miss, he warned the
people of the danger of permitting the
young Of either race to grow up in ig-
norance and vice, and urged that the
wall of prejudice should be broken
down. He went so far as to urge his
hearers to commend the noble exam.
pie of those Christian teachers who
had left home and friends to help to
educate the poor and unfortunate race:
and he also warned them not to be led
by demagogues against the true inter-
ests of their country. He feared a
condition of things which we now see,
a Solid South under old leaders, and a
revival of hope that in some way the
verdict of the War may be reversed,
and he did what he could to avert it.
With his well-known opinion of both
Tilden and Hendricks as political lead
ers, and his Ontspoken opposition to
all oppression. can any friend or adj

Important Decision to Railroad Travellers

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
AFTER an impartial and legally IN
structive charge by Judge Briggs in
the Court of Common Pleas, the case
Of w. Barnet LIE Van VS.. the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company has baen de-
cided by verdict for the plaintiff.
This was suit for damages for forci-
BILE election from one of the cars of
the Company on stormy night at a
point many miles from any human
habitation, whereby the plaintiff was
compelled to walk great distance at
the risk of his life in search of a place
to rest and be secure from the inclem-
ency of the weather. The passenger
had paid his fare to Philadelphia, eX-
hibited his ticket to the conductor,
and insisted that as there was no I'M
occupied seat in the cars belonging ex-
clusively to the company, he would &C.
cupy one in the Pullman palace car, in
which there were a number Of vacant
places. Instead of providing the &C.
commodation Justly demanded, the con-
ductor selected a lonely point on the
road and there elected the passenger,
causing him to undergo considerable,
hardship, trouble, and privation, and
hence this action for damages was
brought. After a lapse of six years
the jury now awards to Mr.. LIE Van
damages amounting to So, 500, and by
this action the important principle is
established that the Railroad Company
is compelled to give passenger seat
without extra cost to him, in the Pull
man car if all other sittings in the cars
of the train are occupied.

Masonic Hall, which is also the Hall
of Carson Lodge No. I. Owing to the
absence OF Mr.. Hammond who was at
first selected as the Orator on the oc-
casion, Mr.. William II. Corbett has
been chosen to deliver the Grafton. 1t
is expected a poem will be read at the
opening of the exercises. There will
also be singing. These literary and
musical exercises will be followed by
dancing ana a supper. All Odd Eel
lows, members Of any Lodge, are in
vlted to attend. We understand the
exercises above spoken of will com
meEce at O'Clock. Previous TO that
time there will be q Lodge meeting,
which is called at O'Clock. We are
informed the reason that, with posi-
bly, few exceptions, none but mem
berS of the Order are invited, is the
entertainment is gotten up by the Odd
Fellows, and their members are so
numerous that the Hall would not
contain larger gathering than will
probably be present of their own mem
bers with their families. doubtless
the occasion will be very pleasant
one to all who may participate in the
