of tho boys desirous of having a little

lemons, oranges, etc. After Ben had
gotten through with the Doctor, his

Yesterday Rebecca Williams, a
young negro girl, aged (it vras said)
about fourteen years, liut,_from her
appearance, seemingly not over ten
years, was tried in Hie City Court,
before lion. W. K. Chisolm, for the
larceny of four huudred aud twenty-
five dollars from At is. Long. She
confessed the stealing, and in her
statement told so many probable tales
as to the disposition olio had made of
the money, luai it was impossible to
know which one to oelioe. When
arrested and charged with the
theft, she said she had given the
money to a negro woman; afterward
she staUsl she had lost it, and on the
stand yesterday she made the state
ment to the Court that she had given
it to the detective, who hud told her
to say she had lost it, or he would
kill her. We are oortain that this is
a lie. At any rate, Mrs. Long has not
recovered her money, and probably
never will. The young thief, who
seems to be old in crime, was sent up.

Just before the passenger train for
Atlanta left yesterday afternoon, a
big burly negro, calling himself El
der Gaines, took a seat in the car for
white ladie* and gentlemen, and pro
posed to occupy it until he reached
Atlanta. He was informed that he
was in the wrong pew, and would
have to take the car for colored peo
ple. He refused to move, when li»
eremptorily ejected. He ap-
to the President of the road,
who informed him that the car for
colored people was identically the
same as those for the whites, and that
it was a rule of the railroad company
to separate the white and black pas
sangers, but to furnish both with the
same comforts and accommodation.—
To thi* Gaines objected, saying he bail
paid first class rates and ought to ride
where he pleased on the train. He
was then told that he could go on the
train in lria proper place, but not oth
erwise, to which he replied, that the
Supreme Court of the State would
have to settle the question. His ob
ject was, doubtless, to raise a row, or
assert his self-importance. He should
have bad a good Vhack or two over
