Baltimore, March 22.—The case of
Harriet A. Cully, colored, against the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compa
ny, whioh has been on trial for days
in the United States District Court
before Judge Giles, was oonoluded
this morning, and under instructions
from the Court the jury renderod a
verdict for the defendant.
This action, with seventeen oth
ers of like character, was brought
against tke company under the Civil
Rights Act of Congress, of
March Ist, 1875, which imposes a
penalty of SSOO on any person who
shoukl deny equal accomodations to
any citizen, regardless of previous
conditions, in hotels, theatres, and
public conveyances. The plaintiff, a
colored citizen of Maryland, claimed
to have been denied accomodations
on the companies train in June 1876,
and was compelled, as she alleged,
to occupy a compartment car which
was inferior, simply because of her
race or color. The Company denied
this, and proved that colored persons
have the same rights on all their
trains as whites. The court,
however, heard argument on
the constitutionality of the act
under the 14th amendment to the
constitution, and held—First, that
the slaughter house cases [l6th Wal
lace] had determined that the privi
leges belonging to citizens of the
United States as such, were different
from the privileges belonging to citi
zens of the Stats as such, and that
only the former were under Congres
sional protection; that this opinion
had been subsequently affirmed by
the U. S. Supreme Court. Second—
that the right to ride in a
railway car for purposes of local
travel was not a privilege of a citizen
of the United States as such, but was
a privilege belonging to a person by
virtue of his State citizenship, and
therefore, for the denial of such priv
ilege, the citizen must look for redress
to the State tribunals; that it was not
within -the power of Congress to in
flict a penalty for the denial of such
a privilege. The aot, therefore, was
unconstitutional.
This opinion accords with that of
Judge Emmons, U. S. Circuit Judge
for the Sixth Circuit, and Judge Saw
yer of California, and other Federal
Judges.

Itellruail Troubles.
The year 1876 was not a twelve
month of unbroken prosperity by
any means, if the figures presented
by the Railway Age, of Chicago, are
to be trusted' According to its ex
hibit ten roads defaulted during the
year, and these roads operated 2,757
miles, and had stock and bonds of
the nominal value of $156,661,000.
Forty-six roads either passed into
the hands of receivers or were pro
ceeded against for foreclosure, and
a nominal value of $538,000,000 in
stock and bonds. Thirty reads were
sold under foreclosure, operating
3.846 miles, with stock and bonds of
tne estimated value of $217,818,000.
This makes a total of eighty-six cor
porations that proved shaky in one
way or another during a single year.
These corporations operated 14,176
miles of road—about one-fifth of all
the railway mileage in the country—
aud had a nominal capital invested
of $912,509,000. Since these figures
were made up failures have kept
right on, and several companies of
importance have been added to the
list since the Ist of last January.
What tiie prospect is for the full year
of 1877 of course remains to be seen.
It seems as if the bottom must be
reached by this time. Railroads
already in opperation must feel any
infusion of new life into business as
soon as any other branch of it, and it
is that new life that we are looking
and hoping for at the present time.
Mil. CUUUIGAVrt COON'.
From the Now York World.]
Mr. Corrigan owned a coon, and his friend
Mr. Amery, of No. 114$ Bowery, combines
the show-card business with that of a dealer
in birds and animals.
These two facts have an intimate relation;
for if Mr. Corrigan had not owntd a coon he
would not have asked Mr. Amery to lodge
the animal, and if Mr. Amery had not kept
that kind of a hotel he would n#l have taken
such a lodger. In a word, had either (act
been other than it was the tragedy would not
have occurred.
Mr. Corrigan’s coon was installed as a reg
ular boarder in Mr. Amery’s hostelry. He
had a companion in vice—a wild and fero
cious coon, who occupied the same apart
ment with him—and together they stole out
in the dead of last Monday night and slew
forty-eight canary birds, finches and linnets,
besides committing a feloniu* attack on the
caudal appendage of a ring tail moukey, de
nuding a Macaw parrot of his feathers aud
plucking forth the tail of a cockatoo. But
there was a rat-trap in the back-room, and
the new boarder put his foot in it, and was
thus captured.
A reporter of the World hastenecd to the
scene of the tragedy yesterday. ‘Can I
see that coon?’ said he as he entered No.
114$.
‘Yes,’said Mr. Amery, ‘there's the vil
lain,’pointing to a securely barred cage, in
which the animal lay innocently asleep.
The reporter tried to interview him, but the
coon would not come down. Possibly he
was wailing to consult his counsel before he
spoke.
Failing to get anything satisfactory out of
the murderer, the reporter tried the pairot
Here again he was disappointed, for the
bird relused even to say, in the words of
another, ‘We harie had a whatever
kind of a time it was that the historic parrot
had.
The monkey, of course, had no tale to
unfold, and appealing to Mr. Amery as a
last resort, ihe reporter asked: ‘What was
the reason, do you think, that prompted the
coon’s assault on the monkey’s tail'!’
‘I m sure I don't know,’ said Mr. Amery.
‘Could it have been envy, or may not the
coon be a reformer and constitutionally op
posed to rings?’
‘There's no stability in a coon,’ said an
attendant. ‘Coons is very uncertain. Now
that ’ere animile was as mild as milk, while
the one with him Was as savage as the devil,
but the mild one did the damage and went
for the birds.’
‘How white that monkey’s face is!’
Yes; I guess he’s a little bit scared. He
looks like a sick nigger, don’t he? I don t
betifve that the coon et that ’ere monkey's
tail off.’
•No?’
‘I don’t. I believe Vie et it off himself.
There ain’t no blood in a monkey's tail. I
cut mor'n two inches ofn that feller’s and it
didn't bleed a drop. It didn’t seem to make
no difference to him; he just stuck the end
on't in his mouth and seemed to think it was
good meat. Monkeys is awful conceited.’
‘Did the coon eat up all of those forty •
eight birds!’
‘Every one on ’em; didn't leave nothing
but feathers. You see he used to catch pig
eons belore he came here, and onc't when
he got the taste for killing birds he got crazy
on the subject. He can t help it. He’s in
sane,’
Doubtless it was a clear case of emotional
insanity.— N. Y. World.

REM ARKS ON THE SOUTHERN POLICY OF
PRESIDENT HAYES.
National Republican.]
Tiie country will recognize in the
inaugural message of President
Hayea the clear, calm and consistent
utterances of one accustomed to deal
with questions of State and capable
of their mastery. There is no at
tempt at rhetorical display, and no
daintiness in proceeding to the sub
ject in hand ; but a plain, outspoken
statement of our needs and necessi
ties, an.r of an earnest determination
to adopt the proper measures of relief.
The policy indicated for the ad
justment of the difficulties in the
disputed Southern States is true to
tiie promises of his letter of accept
ance, and will be a grateful announce
ment to the troubled communities
which have waited long for the eman
cipation it assures them from the. des
potism of exotic rule. With intention
to be specifically understood on this
head, the President has not spoken
in the ordinary language so often
used in Stato papers—-which may
mean something or nothing as subse
quent events should dictate—but in
unambiguous terms and emphasis.
Thus:
“And while in duty hound, and ful
ly determined to protect the rights
of all by every constitutional means
at the disposal of my Administration,
I am sincerely anxious to use every
legitimate influence in favor of hon
est and efficient self-government, as
the true resource of these States for
the promotion of the contentment
and prosperity of their citizens.”
It will be observed that the Presi
dent was particular to italicize the
prefix “self,” iu its qualification of
government, so that it should convey
peculiar significance; and its obvi
ous meaning is that he desires to see
in the South local governments of
Southern creation and support, and
not local governments erected and
maintained by strangers to the soil.
The governments to be approved are
not to be merely local self-govern
ments in the common acceptation of
the language, as being restricted to
certain limits, but they are to be
more than that; governments of
those States sustained by the South
ern people,for themselves, and not by
outside domination. And that his
meaning may not be mistaken, he
qualifies his position still further by
declaring that tiiey are to be encour
aged for tiie promotion of the con
tentment and prosperity of tiie citi
zens of those States. Hence it is clear
as the purpose is pure and patri
otic, that he will use his just powers
in relieving those States from the in
fluences which now distract them, by
discouraging further attempt to admin
ister their governments by State offi
cers who, while they have been legally
elected under existing laws, donut, in
reality, represent the people, and can
only succeed in perpetuating strije.
Sow this will be effected is not inti
mated, but that it will be done is
frankly stated. The principle upon
which the action will proceed lias
nothing in the world r.o do with the
question of the legitimacy of the au
thority to be withdrawn, or prevailed
upon to retire. No matter how clear
ly elected, it is still unwarranted,
because it is not based upon tiie con
sent of the subsiauce and property
of the State, but upon irresponsible
suffrage against the interest of these,
and in opposition to the peace and
welfare of the Slates and of the
United States. The comprehensive
proposition is that, even though per
sons from the North can go into the
South in such numbers as that, com
bining with the colored people as
against thooriginal inhabitants, tiiey
may carry the election and eoutrol
the local governments, still, it is
wrong iu principle and dangerous in
practice, and in no case to be counten
anced or encouraged by the General
Government, but, on the contrary, to
be condemned and left to succeed or
fail as Vie people of the Stales affected
shall ultimately decide. The right of
emigration is not denied by the pos
tulate, nor the right of the blacks to
vote against their old masters, if led
thereto hv intelligent action. Hut it
is denied that any class of adventurers,
seeking that elevation abroad they are
refused at home, shall invade a State
for the sole purpose of taking advan
tage of its prostrate condition and ig
norant citizens, and use them both for
its own advancement, and to their
detriment.
The other subjects touched upon in
the message, nlthough ordinarily import
ant, do not require present consideration.
There is a natural reference to the man
ner in which the contest was decided, the
conclusion being in harmony with the
views of the whole people, if we alone ex
cept the few Representatives who outrag
ed their constituencies and violated law
by voting against the decision of the Com
mission. It is to be hoped that tiie mem
ory of the unhappy events of the past
three months will soonpass out of mind,
never to be brought back for evil pur
poses, and it is almost certain to be the
case, when the enlarged statesmanship
we perdict is to characterize tiie adminis
tration has had time to yield its appropri
ate fruits.
We confess to deep interest in the re
sult of the steps to be taken towards a
pacification of the’country; for in our
j udgment they arc to give the chief dis
tinction the Administration will achieve;
and as we have taken a leading part in
the discussion of the policy and pros
pects in advance, we are gratified that
our views have been sustained by the
message. We took our stand on the
questions involved, on principle; and
although opposed and censured by
many of our political associates, we
have now the satisfaction of approval.
And this leads us to add that, believing
the true interests of journalism lie in
devotion to principle rather thanparty,
it is our intention in the future to be gov
erned in all cases by considerations of
right and justice. While abating noth- j
irig in our fidelity to party, we shall ad-1
vocate its cause most efficiently when we j
do so by insisting that it shall adhere to j
that course which will best Subserve the !
interest of the country.
The New York Times thinks the;
troops should not be withdrawn from ;
Sout h Carolina and Louisiana with-;
out “guarantees.” What belter guar
antees does the Times want than the
personal characters and public pledg
es of suqb, men as Wade Hamilton
and Francis T. Nicholls? Any ration
al or patriotic editor ought lo be
more than satisfied uuder such cir
cumstances. But it is no easy matter |
to satisfy the Times, and perhaps it i
is of small consequence whether!
that paper is satisfied or not.

: PLOTS AND COUNTER PLOTS—PERPLEXI
TIES OF BOTH PARTIES.
Washington, March 19.-Charley
Foster left here for his home in Ohio
this morning. He has, ho thinks,
! fixed the slate for the Speakership.
I He lias his Southern men picked out
from the Democratic ranks, but he
will find opposition in his own. There
are thirteen Southern Republicans
who will refuse to vote for Foster,
because they are disgusted with
Hayes’ Southern policy, aud think
Foster is identified with it.
The Star, iu an article printed to
day, says : “It is now being seriously
considered whether it is not best for
the Southern Representatives to re
fuse to go into caucus at all, but hold
i a caucus of their owu with reference
to the organization of the House, and
give their votes to the canuidute. be
tie Republican or Democrat., who will
best reflect the views of the Presi
dent’s Southern policy. It may bo
that the Border States will holdback.
■But it will be no surprise if, by the
| time the Extra Session is called, the
j Representatives of the Cotton States
come here a united and com
pact organization to carry out this
very plan. Those who favor it rea
son with a good deal of logic, and
say we have nothing to gain by still
clinging to the skirts of the Northern
Democrats to help them to power,
and lose everything if the politicians
make the policy of Mr. Hayes a fail
ure. The project now in hand, based
on this movement, is to make
Charley Foster, of Ohio, the Speaker.
There is but little doubt but that a
great majority of the Southeru Dem
ocrats would prefer him to either
Randall or Morrison, who are push
ing for the place. The trouble of
electing Foster, however, would
come from his own party. There are
some Republican Representatives
who feel wrathful because President
Hayes has snubbed them iu the matter
of official patronage, and who would
perhaps vote against Foster because
of his being the bosom friend of the
Executive. His opposition would
come principally from New England
and from the thirteen Southeru Re
publicans. The first would vote
against him on the general ground
of distrust of the South, aud the
second because they imagine that
the President’s policy means the
death-knell of their party in the
Southern States. If Foster could re
ceive the united votes of his own
party he could certainly get enough
Democratic votes from the South to
elect him. If this plan fails the plan
is to elect a Southern Democrat
Speaker, and let the North have all
tiie other House officers. Goode, of
Virginia, has been settled on as
the next available candidate, and
McPherson, of Pennsylvania, for the
Clerkship. Meanwhile, the Northern
Democrats will not be idle. Sayler
will be put forward as combining the
best elements to break up tiie Cotton
States plan. He has dignity, ability,
force and tact. Then, too, he is not
as aggressive as Randall, and made
no enemies, as did the latter in the
recent Presidential excitement, in the
House. The look now is that Randall
can not be elected. Morrison has no
leading qualifications to commend
him for tiie place, and not a few say
boldly that he owes what prominence
he has already attained to the good
offices of his friend, the late Speaker
Kerr. The danger is that a dead-loek
in the organization may ensue. The
South wants a Southern man elected,
but the Northern Democrats will not
unite with them. Tiie Repuolicans
of the North generally favor Garfield,
but he cannot be elected because he
cannot get a single Democratic vote.
Foster can get the necessary Demo
cratic votes, but he can not get all the
Republican votes. Randall will have
some straggling support, but it will
Weaken after the first effort rather
thun increase. Sayler will get a good
vote, and if his party will stand by
him can be elected. If he does suc
ceed it will be by pledges for South
ern Committees and his influence for
a Southern man for Clerk. Tiie situ
ation is this: Either a Southern
Democrat will lie elected Speaker or
Charles Foster will be, and the latter
will happen if the Republicans come
to the conclusion that it is better to
get haif a loaf than no bread.”
Winning; a Bet.
A Rochester man bet $5 the other
day that he could put a billiard-ball
in ills mouth. If he had been u
newspaper man no one would have
taken the bet, but, being another
kind of a hair pin, the V was plank
ed. Sure enough the feat was ac
complished, but the performer could
not get the ball out. Physicians
were sent for. The most attractive
ladies in town were put vis-a vis
with the victim, but they couldn’t
attract worth a cent, Sam Hildreth,
wtio has the reputation of drawing
the biggest ball ever held in Roches
ter, was called in; he could’t con
duct satisfactorily. Finally the doc
tors tried again. One got a loadstone;
another took a cue-nous instrument
and caroned on the two tonsils; he
then made a cushion shot on tbe
larynx, and tried to pocket the balls
in the bronchial. After some skilful
play, with several scratches, he nurs
ed the ball out. Tnat whale of pro

Next Boor.
From the Detroit Free Press. 1
About nine o’clock yesterday morn

grocery store on Woodward avenuo,
having a jug in his haDd, and he said
to one of the clerks:
“I want two pounds of nails
and—”
“Next door,” promptly replied
the clerk, motioning with his
thumb.
The farmer entered the next door,
placed his jug on the counter, and
said:
“I want a gallon of molasses
and—”
“Next door,” said the proprietor,
motioning toward the grocery.
The farmer looked at him for a
minute, and then went out and re
entered the other store. As the clerk
oauie forward again the man with
the jug remarked:
“Why in blazes couldn’t you have
told me iu tiie first, place that I could
get the molasses heie and the nalis
next door? What’s tbe use of being
so mighty high-toned about noth

“I do not wish to live always, but I
do want to write for your paper. It
is ray lowly aim in life to boa great
writer. I want to be great. I want
your advice on a few lines I send. I
have a great intensity (sic) for travel.
I will go anywhere and send back
long letters.” A peculiar appeal is
this from the Tribune’s mail-bag; and
these are tbe lines she sends: “Why
doth the owl hoot and sleep by day,
and sleepless hoot by night? Simply
because the night’s dim ray is better
for bi3 sight. And so with truth—she
ehineth out, At night as well as day;
And never knows what she’s about,
While others pass away." Advice;
Don’t be great. Whenever the "in
tensity to travel” comes on, take a
trip to the kitchen.”— Ti'ibune.

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1877.
The Favorite and Leading Newspaper
of the West.
Daily, Tri-Weekly, Semi-Weekly and
Weekly.
THE succea* nf the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, siner
the consolidation of which it is in fact end in
name the product, has been such as to excite
universal comment. Its circulation has steadi
ly increased since its first issue, and its general
business prosperity has kept pace with its circu
lation. Thus encouraged, its proprietors are de
termined that In the future no effort will be
spared to keep it in the front rank of Journal
ism.
Politically, the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT is a sup
porter of the measures of the Republican party,
believing that organization to be beat adapted
by its principles and policies to perpetuate our
form of government, and to secure its adminis
tration in a manner best calculated to promote
the good of the country.
The popular demand is not only for au organ
of opinion, but for a history of the times -
something that will come fully up to the poet’s
idea of
A map of busy life,
Its fluctuations and lie vast concerns.
In this respect we claim for the GLOBE-DEM
OCRAT a reputation second to that of no journal
in.the West, yielding to no rival in our efforts to
obtain the news,and to present the same in an at
tractive shape
Our aim is to publish a newspaper adapted to
the wants, tastes and interests of the people of
the Mississippi Valley. To this end we pay es
pecial attention to events happening in Missouri
aud the adjoining States—to watch their prog
ress, and to assist, in so far as we can, in their
duvelopment.
The Weekly Globe-Democrat,
Now an Enlarged Octavo of
FIFTY-SIX ( OLi nYS,
is emphatically a paper for the People—and es
sentially a Family Newspaper. Containing as it
does a complete summary of the latest and of all
the important news from all partß of the world;
a number of Editorials on current topics; a care
fully selected and interesting Miscellany; valua
ble matter tor the farmer, housewife, merchaut
aud mechanic; the latest and most reliable Live
Stock and Crop Reports;a Financial and Com
mercial Column—long known as complete, and
more reliable than that of any other paper pub
lished in the West; which, with the especial at
tention always given to the progress and the
rapid deveiopement of the resources of the Great
West, can not but make the WEEKLY-GLOBE
DEMOCRAT a most welcome visitor to every
fireside.
