Separate cars for CoIored peon,e.

GALVESTON, Sept. 22.-J. N. johnson,
an attorney, and R. Bryan and W. L.
Reed, clergymen, all colored, after CON
ference with Vice President Waldo OF the
Houston & Texas Central railroad, have
issued a card to the colored people OF
Texas, stating that all suits against the
above mentioned road on accoun' of the
denial of equal accommodations to
negroes are withdrawn and further suits
sre discouraged. The company will put
on separate and exclusive cars with equal
accommodations for oolored persons
within three months. The card ex-
pressly denies that the suits were
brought to force social admixture an
rounces that the negroes do not desire to
ride in the same cara with the whites
An appeal is also made to the colored
people to abstain from acts of violence
aud from threats. Other roads, it is said =,
will shortly follow the action taken by
the Texas Central.
