An elastic temperament, which never

work over again, is very likely to in

colored claimants for damages against
the Houston Il Central Railroad on
account OF denial of right to ride as
iirstclass passengers, have decided to
withdraw their suits against the cor

that effect, and also TO discourage all
suits of a similar character. The

people have no desire to ride with the
whites, provided they are equally as
