JuDGE DURHAN--This gentleman adj
dressed fair audience at the Courthouse
here last Monday, giving an account Of his
career in Congress, aud his views upon the
leading political questions Of the present
day. lie was justly severe on the Pre-i-
den, for ve,oing the Army Appropriation
Bin. aud said that II he were q member Of
Congress now, he -onld stand by the bill
~ presented, until time should cease to be.
u necessary lie admitted that resump-
ton was a success, but said that John
Sherman was not entitled TO any praise for
il, OF any credit Tor that success. Judge
Durham was opposed TO an unlimited in.
aation of the currency, and wanted a spe-
cis- or kind Of money that had the same
purchasing power every where's money
Tor the bondhslder and nOn-bondholder;
for the poor and rich alike, and just
enough Of il 10 meet and answer the re-
quifemenis Of commerce and trade. His
speech made a favorable impression on his
hearers, who gave him close attention.
I CivL RIgun.-Mr. Montgomery, the
barber here, took mulatto boy 10 the Com
mercial Hotel late one night last week, and
told the negro attendant TO give him a bed
Supposing that he was a white man, he
was given white mans bed, and allowed
to eat at the same table used by the other
guests. Next day Mr.. Ramsey's attention
was called 10 the dark color Of the boys
skin, and he decided a, once that Montgom-
cry had imposed on him. lie went in search
| Of Montgomery, who was not at home, but
Who subsequently went to the Hotel and
at lirst laid that the boy was not a negro,
but being confronted with the boys state
meni that he was, he Acknowledged the
corn, and threatened Mr.. Il. with suit
under the Civil Rights Bill II he refused
him the privileges cf HE honse. Seeing
that he was drunk, Mr.. X. didn't stop to
handy words with him, but ordered the ne
gro oil. Next day Montgomery, having so-
bered up, went to Mr. Ramsey and apollo
gired, and assured him that he had no idea
that the negro had been entertained a. a white
man. This did not suit some Of the boys,
who thought that Montgomery ought TO
suffer a ducking, II nothing else, for his
doings; aud II he did try to palm Oh a ne
gro on Mr. Ramsey weare strongly inclined
to the opinion that ducking would have
been too good for him. but he assures us
that no such thing was his intention, and
regrets that !, could have borne that con-
struclion.
