Brewton set a day when he would settle the
matter, asking Mr. Graham to be in town on
that day, being the 18th inst When approached
Brewton told Graham that if he would walk out

lCOMMUNICATED.

Editors FIoriltan The expulsion of Rev. II.
G.. Bailey a coored minister of one of the lar
gest congregations OF our city, from railway
carriage on The road from this city to Live Oak
on last Thursday was an outrage upon respec.
table class of citizens, which calls for condemna-
ton from every right-thinking person who
knows the man, regardless of race color or reli-
giOn. There are few except colOred people,
who know the inligntlcs that the negro has to
suffer, when called upon by business or pleasure
to visit Misconceptions of the State by rail- In
the first place he is charged the full first-class
fare for IA ticket; next he is expected to take a
seat in a carriage wherein all characters are hud
died promiscuously regardless of filth or decency,
where the smoker drinker and prOtligate are al
lowed To polute The air with all manner of
offensive smells language and exhibitions.
Notwithstanding AS in this case, the victim
may he one who Is in every sense gentleman
in his tastes, habits aud department, who is
neither addicted to the use of tobacco, intoxicants
nor profanity; or AS in many Cases it may be a
female. 1t is impossible Tor an intelligent col
orcd man 10 believe that there is one rcfihed and
respectable southern white man or woman who
would sanction such IN outrage WAS perpetra-
ted on Mr. Bailey, il !ncy were called upon
to express an opinion, and were acquainted with
the alternative that is presented to any one OF
his race travelling on railroads in Florida. 1t is
difficult Ia believe that il il the desire of our
white neighbOrs To degrade us any longer in this
way, Knowing, AS they well do, that We seek no
social intercourse but the peaceable enjoyment
Of that for which We are able to pay on the pub
lie highways Can any person cite an instance
wherein coored person has failed TO show that
courtesy to u white person as to give up prior
right rather than be thought uDcivi? Has ever
a negro, however coarse and uncouth his man.
ners, neglected to yield precedence to his white
neighbOr? Can any conductor name an instance
wherein an offensive colored man obtruled him
self in coach where there was respectable white
persons? Ii these questions cannot be answered
in the affirmative then there is no reason for this
prescription, and We must believe that one of
two things is true if ii is not condemned by press
and pulpit. Either that class of people who fear
comparison in progressive refinement and intel
llgence with the negro are moulding public
sentiment or III: the expressed sympathy and
boosted desire for the negroes moral advance
ment is humbug and deusion.
Respectfully, Ii. s. HARMON
