JUDGE SMELL.

The Judge Of the police court. VIM
Smell, has within the last few weeks
demonstrated the fact that negroes are
no more than cattle, and he intends To
treat them as such. No Judge has any
right to discriminate between classes
OF citizens, which has been character
lied by an apology for Judge of the
police court. II is reported that he
remarked some time ago, while several
colored women We're being tried. to the
bailiff of the court, to remove certain
women from his sight-that they were
no more than cattle. Be the colored
people what they may, this is an insult
to humanity. 1t is true that we are
poor, but we have tender feelings. and
Just the same as the honorable( P( man
who occupies the judgeship of the DO
lice court. A judge who will so gross
ly discriminate should be removed. and
