In THE appellate division of the New
York Supreme Court, on Friday, de-
cision was rendered sustaining an opinion
by one of the Judges in which the
amount of damages granted defendant
was cut down. The complainant was a
colored man. porter on Pullman car,
who had suffered false arrest on a charge
of stealing a pocketbook. He brought
suit and was awarded 1880 damages.
The Judge decided the amount too much
and ordered the sum reduced to $780,
From this decision the man appealed. In
rendering the original decision the Judge
said: while, in some senses, the negro,
under the law, is just as good man as
the President of the United States, it
would be bad argument to say that he is
just as good in all respects. The damages
in a case of this kind depend on a mans
standing and circumstances. He would
not be hurt just as much If put in prison
as every other man would be. You can
man, when you come to say how much
his shame will suffer. He might suffer
more. But, after all, what are the
probabilities about it? Is it likely that
when a colored man is arrested and i'm
prisoned he feels just as much shame as
white man of any circumstances might2'
The Judge then draws a comparison be-
tween the sense of degradation that
he al 1xrf ho Mouor
of New York, under similar circumstances |
This opinion is certainly peculiar one |
It reminds one of that of another Judge |
who decided that the life of a child was
valueless. To compare a colored man to
the Mayor of city is going to extremes
and is not parallel, in fact we have known
some city officials whose sense of degrade
ton was not nearly so keen as that of
colored men or even of white men in
lower ranks of life. The query of the
Judge whether colored man would have
the sense of injury that white man
would have can easily be answered In
many ways. 1t may be truthfully said
that in many instances the sense of shame
would be greater in some colored men
than it would Ia some white people. No
body will deny that there are those of the
latter class, inferior in social and business
position, who are sometimes wrongfully
accused. Would any Judge or jury de-
eide that because of their station in life
they are not entitled to protection and

that any man who applies for silk
shall write and inform every member
of his circuit who is of longer stand

the bar for a more extended period
than himself-of the fact that he has
so applied. This intimation gives the
senior an opportunity of considering
whether he should himself apply and
by doing so maintain his right of

that, on that line, he cannot have the

Nor MUCH praise has been bestowed
upon ex-senator Colby, who, at public
dinner in Newark, last week, spoke In
very unfiattering terms of New Jerseys
public men. He referred to the members
of the New Jersey Senate and House of
Assembly as 'muttonheads. The fact
that it was Colby who made the remark
removes to great extent the sting that
might otherwise have been inflicted.
Colby was once q member of the New
Jersey Senate, but he was repudiated by
his county and was compelled to remain
at home. He says he will be candidate
for reelection to the Senate two years
hence, but why he wants to get into the
company of "muttonheads" there
will be several members who will hold
over-is not plain. Possibly he still has
the idea that he alone is cit" Whether
his record gives him any claim to this
title is left for others to determine.
Colby talks too much.

The child was strangely silent during
