Mr.. W. A. Lavslette, a printer OF
much skill and ex. eriencs, has been

The Negro regiments, even the least
Objectionable Of them, have left trail
of riot and disorder wherever they have

these disorders occu red at Chatta

CIVIL RIGHTS CASES.

The outrageous discrimination agains
coIored people by the management Of
the New Grand has stirred the citi
zens of Washington more deeply than
has been the case with any similar
demonstration Of race preiudite in re
cent years. Lawyers, professional and
business men are all taking hand,
and many suits civil and criminal, are
likely to result before the incident is
closed. The Negroes are determined
to stamp out this absurd innovation OF
Burke and Chase, and are getting abou
il in q business-like manner that bod, t
no good to any who may undertake to
stand in the way OF decency and order
