Railroads and colored Passengers.

This, from the Kentuckian, would
lead one to believe that the Legisla-
ture of Kentucky should give rail
roads the power to eject such cattle
from the cars designed for decent
people:
"a negro man on a passenger
train between this city aud Guthrie,
one night last week, was guilty of an
act that would have justified his be
ing kicked out OF the coach. He oc-
cupied seat in the dry coach,
which was crowded with white pas
seugers, many Of them ladies. The
seats were all so full that number
of passengers had to stand in the
aisle. The negro, removing one Of
his shoes, stretched himself out and
went to sleep, while the other pas
sengers Were forced to endure the
nauseating odor from a foot that bad

that trouble is brewing at Coal

been sent out among the miners for
the alleged purpose of arousing
them:
1.-THE Convicts shall never gain a
foothold here again. Our prayer
must be, blessings on our people and
destruction on the convicts, lessees
and the State militia. We must act
with prudence and give tit for tat.
No matter what comes-death, de
struction or anarchy-we must stand
together. One hundred and sixty

date us. Shall we endure? Never

Eugene Merrill, the leader of the
miners, has called meeting for to-
night, and it is believed at Knoxville
that an outbreak will follow this
meeting.
Acknowledgement Norman, how
ever, does not believe that the
miners will make an outbreak under
the present circumstances. In case
of an attack the militia is in good
shape and are strengthening their
position daily.

been con 'ider tble trouble with the

and through what was thought
at the time to be a want of expert
ence in the driver, MIR. McGraw. The
horse refused TO work kindly and
SHAFT or two, as a consequence, were
broken. he fire committee held a
meeting on this subje t last evening,
and after inve tigating the matter
thoroughly, called on Mr.. McGraw
for his resignation. The committee
did not take this step because Mr..
MeGraw has been de elicit in duty.
He had attended to the en- CINE house
well, kept everything up in good
shape since his election, but he is in
experienced in the management of
stock, and the committee was of the
opinion that it would be better to
have man who knew how to ham
die horse well. The resignation
Will he acted upon by the board to-
night.
The fire committee has also COM
pleted the rules and regulations gov
erning the new department and will
present the same for the consider..-

In the interview with Col. j. A.
Mckenzie, published in the LEAF
CHRONICLE several days ago, there
are some expressions which, the au-
thor wishes us to say, he would have
altered somewhat had he had time to
read the proof. The interview was
taken hurriedly in long hand, and
naturally some Irregularities in Ian
guage occurred that would have been
improved on Otherwise. For this,
however, Mr.. Mckenzie attaches no
blame to the reporter.

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

Capt. r. l. Cobb, construction en-
gineer of the l.. & N, is man who
rarely ever lets any one beat him at
any thing. Several gentlemen were
discussing the eAcellencies of the
southern Express Company the
other day and the Captain made one
OF the party. After everything good
had cen said The tide turned a. ainst
the comp ny and many instances
were M niioned where goods had
been shipped 10y express and had
never come to hand. Capt. Cobb
formerly lived ia Winchester, Tenn,
the home of Lincoln county dew and
hne mules. He had many warm
friends up there and after, he had
left, one OF them decided to send him
a Christmas present. He hunted
around and at last found some good
old Lincoln county, SO old that cot
webs were on the barrel. He tasted
it and it was fine. A ten gallon keg
was filed with it and after securely
mailing it up in box it was ex-
pressed to Capt Cobb, then in dis
tant city, in care of a hotel, at which
ne was stopping. Five years rolled
by snd Capt. Cobb had never received
the keg. He and the gentleman
happened to meet at the hotel ~
which the keg was sent ana in the
course of conversation his friend in
quired how he liked his Christmas
present. Capt. Cobb of course told
him he had not received it, and a
tracer was at once started to hunt up
the keg This all happened in De-
cember five years after the key had
been shipped and during the follow
ing July the package was traced to
the hotel and was located in closet
among some rubbish. The Whiskey
was eleven years old when it started
from Winchester and was therefore
sixteen and a half years old when
found. "Boys," SAID the engineer,
"that stuff would rattle when it was
poured in a glass" 1t was painful
to see the expression on several coun,
tenanceS when the speaker smacked
his lips.

The passenger train due here from
Louisville at 1852 last night did not
