Stockholders Visit the Great Wire Mill
at AnsOnIa, Conn.

ANsoNIA, Conn, Aug. IS.
The mills of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany were paid visit today by several of
the stockholders. These were Mr.. J, W.
Mackey, the bonanza king of California, a
recent acquisitian to the company. and
Messrs. Ii. l.. Horton and George d. Roberts
of New York City Mr.. Roberts was accom-
panied by his wife. On arrival, the large
mill of the company, which is located here,
was inspected and the several processes of
wire manufacture view with much interest.
1t was Mr.. Mackey's first visit to the mill
and he expressed the greatest satisfaction
with the plant, and regarded the details OF
manufacture with special pleasure. An order
was given during the visit for the working of
the mill to it fullest capacity, and on Monday
morning the order will be put into effect.
An extension of the mill, now covering a
greater area of land than any other single
mill in the place, is now proposed, and prob
ably will be ordered in a few days. This
begins to look as though the Postal Telegraph
Company really meant to begin strong
competition for the telegraph business of the
country. After the inspection of the mill the
visitors were escorted through the extensive
works of Wallace & Sons, and dned at the
Bassett House. They lief. in the afternoon.

FROM WASHINGTON.
A CIVIL RIGHTS CASE.
A Colored Man Gets Judgment Against
q Restaurant Keeper.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is.
A decision was rendered by Judge Mills in
the police court of this city today in the civil
rights case of Rev. George H. Smith (col-
ored) of Norwich, Conn, against James w.
Bell, proprietor of restaurant on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The ground of complaint was
that Bell had denied the accommodations OF
his restaurant to the plaintiff on account OF
the latter's color, and suit was brought to en-
force the criminal provisions of March /.
1873. The court holds that under the COM
mon law, an innkeeper is bound to take IN
and receive all travellers and wayfarers, and
that BY the act OF March /, 1875. it is made a
misdemeanor to discriminate against trav-
eler on account of race aDd color. regardless
of any previous condition of servitude. A
restaurant keeper has the right to establish
certain regulations as to hours for meals, and
to designate certain places or seats for Gus
TONERS, but such hours and seats must be
the same for all, or, if any discrimination be
made, it must be made upon some principle
or for some reason that the law recognizes as
just and reasonable. and not on account of
color, race or previous condition of servitude.
All guests of an inn or restaurant must be
given equal privileges, and the places desig-
mated for them must be accessible to all re-
spectacle pernons at a uniform rate of charge.
From these principles. it follows that the de-
PENDENT in discriminating against the COM
plainant Smith on account of his race and
color, was guilty of misdemeanor. and in
CURED the penalty prescribed by the second
section of the civil rights act of 1875. Judg-
ment is entered accordingly. This case is,
in some respects, novel one, since it is the
first attempt to enforce the penalty under the
second section of the civil lights act, which
makes violation of the law misdemeanor,
and it is the first effort made to enforce the
criminal provisions of the law in territory
where the Congress of the United States has
exclusive and absolute legislative jurisdic-
ton.

Reckless French Finances.

An exchange remarks that while the
debt of our republic has been reduced to
1.543. 0O0. 600. that of France is almost
94,000, 000, 900, and still increasing. An
extra budget has just been subitted which
provides for loan of $50 ,000. 900. While
the total expenditures of our govern
ment during the last fiscal year were
e257, 1881 900, the total annual expendi-
lures of the French government are about
91,000, 900, 900. although the population of
France is not much more than two-thirds
of that of the United States. The condi-
ton of French finances is critical,
and the collapse Of the re-
public may result from extravaganza,
unless there is check put up upon
reckless expenditures. The credit of the
government may be so much weakened
that the treasury will become bankrupt.
1t is strange that people celebrated for
individual thrift should permit such ex-
travagance in the administration of their
government. There are more than 800,
600 farmers in France who own the land
they till. and the great mass of the people
are industrious and frugal, but the nation
cannot always endure the drain of the
present extravagant administration Of gov
erment Those who wish to see the res
toration of the throne in France may re-
joice TO see lavish expenditures from the
public purse. but the spectacle should
make friends Of the republic very grave.
The New York Tribune has interview
ed number of heavy business men on
the present outlook. and they very gener-
ally take the view that the worst is not
only over, but that the worst is not very
bad. They all allege liquidation" to
have been the immediate cause of the
troubles-a term which seems to have a
technical meaning not readily comprehen-
ded by the ordinary reader, but which we
suppose answers to a sort ofgeneral clear
ing up, in which weaknesses which have
been kept hidden must come to light, and
when the general disturbance necessarily
makes trouble for some of the most inno-
cent operators, There is no doubt that
the intense speculation of the past few
months has brought on the liquidating
process. which may be compared to thun-
der all round the sky succeeding very
hot spell of weather. Certainly the bust
ness atmosphere is clearer for the things
which have happened, and we hardly
think that much more of shower may be
expected.
