A DON QUIXOTE IN THE SADDLE.

Representative Morrell, a northern
radical, is another political Hotspur who
rides pell-mell at the southern demo-
Gratis. He is greatly wounded by the
''Jim-Crow" car arrangement, and has
introduced a bill to eXterminate it.
He wants all colors and races to ride
together in public conveyances. He Is
a Pennsylvania radical and that de-
notes one of your extreme fellows who
like foolish sentiment and race compul-
sion. Why does not this ''greeny"
amend his bill and make it apply gen.
erally-to all hotels, theatres, saloons,
barbershops, and city hacks? Why not
also, while his hand is in. compel by
law all churches to receive negro men,
bers when they apply, and furnish seats
for all people irrespective of conditions,
races and colors. Let him do a sweep
ing act of Justice" and give free
swing to his ardent sympathies, and
rectify wrong all over the north while
attempting to abolish "Jim Crows"
from railroads? If he seeks fame. he
may find infamy. If he is really a phil
anthropist and greatly loves his dear
brother in black" he should never rest
until in Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Harris
burg and in every town and village, in
every factory, workshop and railroad,
in every store aswell, shall have opened
wide their doors to the employment of
the 10000 negroes now loafing and hop
ing for the good time coming in the
hand of Penn and plenty. Morrell
should move on. Do not stop with rag
ing over the south and ~expending his
energies in trying to annoy white folks
down in Dixie" There Is big work for
him in his own state and section in be-
half OF the negroes and all wronged and
oppressed people of all races and COM
%plexions. The Charlotte News notes a,
length Mr.. Morrell's Mistake" Yea,
verify. but it is worse than a mere
''mistake"-it is folly and vanity. and
