oui publle grievance, ffOieb oolorea people generailr
are dally aubjeoted to, and wh oh. as an lndlridual,
I experienced to-dar to a degree ttat I ehall not at
tempt to fully describe, although 1 feel I aljgl never
lo sfriefly, the oftoumetanoea were these: Being un
der the neeeialty of,going out to damp William
Penn, to-day, on buaineaa, I took the North .Penn
sylvania Bailroad, and reached the ground about 11
o’clock. Remembering that pressing duties required
my presence at’ my store by a oertaln hour In the
early part of the afternoon, X promptly attended to
any business at,the, camp, but as.l oould not return
fey the way I came.without waiting two and a half
Jhoura for the down train, I eonoluded that I
■would walk over to Germantown, and come to ;
the city by the 1 o’clock ateam cars. * Accord.'/
ingly, 1 reaohed Germantown, but too late for
Ihe train .by about five minutes, as the oars chad
just gone. To wait another hour X felt was
out]of the question; hence, I decided to take .
.the city passenger cars. ■ Soon one came along, with
Jbut few passengers in it, and into it I walked, with
■a man who had been to the camp with me, (but for
tunately he happened to be of the approved oom
plexlon,) and took a seat, Q,uiokly the conductor
approached me, and I tendered him the fare for us
both, (the men alluded to being in my employment.)
The conductor very cordially reoelved the money,
ifeut before he took time to hand me the change that
was due me, Invited me to “step out on the plat
form.’’ “Why Is this ?" X remarked. “Itisagainst
the rules,” he added. "Who objects 1” I Inquired.
*< It is the aristocracy,” he again added. ‘ Well, it
is a cruel rule ! and I believe this Is the only city of
note in the civilized world, where a decent colored
manoannotbe allowed to ride in a clt f
ear. Even the oars whioh were formerly built in
Philadelphia for New Orleans, were not devoid or
accommodations for colored people inside, I com
finued. And now, with r< gard to the aristocracy, I
'™not believe the blame rests with them; for I
happen to be one of a committee who some time
haSk brought this question before the, public in the
shape of a petition, and it was very freely signed by
hundreds of the most respectable oltizenß; by lead
ing clergymen, lawyers, doctors, editors, meichauts,
&0,, amongst whom were Bishop Potter, Hon. Ho
race Binney, &c., and some of the railway presl
dents-besides. Of course, the oonduotor declared
that he had no objections himself, but continued to
insist that It was “the rules.” ’ ,
< 1 Who is the president of this road l” I inquired.
After pausing a moment, (what he meant I know
hot), he answered by saying he believed his name
was “ Mr. Whartman.” , ’ ,
“ A former president,” I remarked, declared to a
committee that "nosuch rules bad ever been made
on this road.” ' =
. I told him that I paid taxes, &0., but of oourse it

Yeti felt, under the eiroumstanoes, compelled to
submit to the wrong, for the Babe of arriving at my
plaoe of business in due time. But before I arrived
at myidestination it began to snow, which, as I was
already thoroughly chilled with the cold, made the
platform utterly intolerable; hence, I ooncluded to
walk the rest of the distance, aod accordingly got
ofil feeling satisfied that no where in Christendom
oould be found a better Illustration of Judge Taney’s
decision in the Dred Soott case, in whioh he declared
that “ black men have no rights .which white men
' are bound to respect,” than are demoustrated by the
“ rules” of the passenger oars of the City of Bro
*hThe decision and the’ “rules” _have
harassed me every moment since. I try to think of
cannibals in heathen lands anil traitors in the South,
and -wrongs generally, hut it is all to no purpose—
this car inhumanity sticks to me.
“But this is only an individual case, hence but a
trifling matter,” you may think, Mr. Editbr. Far
irom it. Bir. Every colored man, woman, and child
of the entire 26,000 inhabitants of this olty, many of
tvhom are tax payers, and as upright as any other
olass of citizens, are daily liable to this treatment.
The ttuth is, so far as my case ia concerned, I fared
well, compared with the treatment some have re*
oelved* Along catalogue of injuries and outrages
could be recounted, but 1 suffice it fo remind your
xeaderßOf only one or two instances:
A venerable old minister of the Q-OBpel, iQ going
from here,to his home at Frankford, one dark, cold,
and rainy night last winter, while occupying the
only place on the platform assigned for colored peo*
■ rie, was hilled, -Who hue fargsitea this fast?

evening, in going home from a lecture, two elegant
ly dressed youßg women stepped into a car, and took
aeata. The conductor. oourageoußly brought the
yules forward, and one of them instantly stepped
. out, while the other remained. . The car was
Stopped, and the conductor seized her, and actually,
fcy physical force, thrust her out of the oar. The
father of this young woman pays several hundred
dollars taxes annually: keeps his horse and car*
jriage, and lives as nicely as most respectable citi

Making a Good Thing op It. —lt
■eemii from the publio action of a public clerk,-
- ■ named Kline, at the publio gas works, the public
mnat not expect to receive any change less than a
Hve-oent note upon the payment of their gas bills.
A bill we paid yesterday, amounting to $4 62, cost
■'iiis4.66, Blmply beoauie we had not two nickels in
ohange. A young lady, who had paid a bill a few
momenta before, because-she -had not one cent loßt
lour. A young lady, who had house rent to pay in
the back room, received the fractional part of dire
cent* In change from the said clerk.
As it is by no meana necessary to hand the over
ture, into the treasury of the gas works, and as it 1b
• not -probable the losers would lose time by going
after the change, the clerk aforesaid may make de
cidedly a good thing of it. Seven cents thus made
In the short space of three minutes is a very haud
. {some sum, particularly when It is made without any
outlay of capital. The money thus made is equiva
lent to 01.40 per hour—office hours being from 9 to
3 o'clock—would yield at this rate $S 40, which sum
being multiplied by six days, makes the snug sum
of $60.40 per week, or $2,620.80 per year. We sim
ply base this; calculation upon the facts that came
before our own personal observation. We respect
fully call the attentiontef Mr. W. L. Hirst to the
fact, and also state that upon application at the
' Mint the Ui S. Treasurer will supply nickels
enough to make ordinary ohange.

A SUITABLE PRESENT tO commanding of
ficers, army or navy, at the establishment of Edgar
F. Baton, 722 Chestnut street. We would call at
tention to the advertisement in another column.
A man named Daniel Henry, the keeper of a pub
lic house on Beach street, was arraigned at the
Central Station yesterday afternoon, on the charge
of passing counterfeit bank notes on one Stephen
Frantz. The evidence developed the following facts:
The complainant, desiring to have a twenty-doNar
note changed, called upon defendant for accommo
dation, and received in change one good flve-dollar
Treasury note, a counterfeit five, Hurlbufc Bank;,
one counterfeit two-dollar note, Stroudsburg Bank \
one one*dollar note, Genesee Valley Bank; one
counterfeit flve-dollar note, Henry D. Bartow&Co.,
Bank Cayuga county, W. Y., and the remainder of
the change made up in counterfeit postage cur
rency. The defendant was required to enter bail in
the sum of $2,000 to ‘answer.
Immorality Developed.
A scene that might well cause a shudder to startle
the feelingsof morality occurred at the Central Sta
tion yesterday afternoon. A mother, who ■'Bays she
lives near Second and Spruoe, was present, with three
of her daughters, whose moral character of at least
two of them, was impaired some time sinoe, in the
pestilential atmosphere of low-priced concert cellars,
dignified by the title of ale vaults or saloons. Some
of these places are so low in theßcaleof human
life aB to be positively disgusting. As a general thing
they are the importations of the lower grade of soexe
ty qipeycmalilre, Eaglaml, It may be safely said i tbe
iHßsnu wratawnteasarranßi BBSStftJss—r
hie indeed, that the foul upas n&s taken roetin all
P&ris of the enlightened city of Philadelphia. Two of
the . girls, the mother said, led imtndrar lives, and
are enticing the younger one away on the pathway
to moral death. The girls, in return, charged that
their mother often gets drunk, and is entirely unable
to take care of them. Rum and degradation‘have
done their work in this instance. Two of the party
are brazen-face, coarse, and vulgar ..beyond redemp
tion. In the crowd of spectators were a number of
concert saloon loafers, dog-fighters, and rat*match
makers. These formed the dark-ground work of the
whole picture. The youngest of the daughters was
sent to the house of refuge, and the other two w;ere
required to enter bail in $5OO each-to be of future
good behavior.
Mary Holland was arraigned, yesterday, on the
charge of stealing the sum of $2 60 from the drawer
of the bar at the public house of James Rbßsifer, on
Spruce street. It seems that she was employed to
scrub out the room, and the proprietor had occasion
to temporarily absent, himself. *Oa returning, he
examined the drawer, and ascertained that the de
posits had been removed. He charged defendant
with having committed the robbery. She stoutly
denied it. On making a thorough search, the money
was found upon her person. She was committed*
John Farren, Philip Farley, and Jameß Sheridan
are tbe names of three persons arraigned before the
police magistrate of the Fifth ward yesterday morn
ing, on the charge of robbery; and assault and bat
tery. It seems the parties entered the bar-room of
a public house, at the northeast earner of Pine And
wkter streets, on sundsy night, About ten o'clock,
and called for ale. While the attendant was in the
vault drawing it, one of the two helped himself to
come of the money in the till. When the bar-tender
came up he was informed of the facts by a person
who saw the transaction. Bar-tender attempted to
make an arrest, but was knocked down. .. The alarm
wac given, and the police, quickly at the scene, ar
rested the parties. The sum of one dollar and a
half was found, upon one of the parties. It was
identified as the money stolen from the The
prisoners were ordered to enter bail in the sum of
$BOO to answer at court.
A final hearing was had last evening in the ease
of Thomas I*add, the man who married his step*
daughter, her mother still living. The nature of
this cnee is such as to preolude the, publication of
the facts in extenso* A more glaring case of brutal.
sensuality on the part of a man has probably never
been brought to the_notice of the-magistracy of
Philadelphia. The .firßt wife was present/ aad
proved her marriage with defendant. The daughter
also proved her-marriage defendant. The
article called a separation paper, which the husband
told the first wife was a legal divorce* was also pro*
duced. It is not worth the paper upon.
At the conclusion of the case, the magistrate asked
the. defendant if he any questions to ask, or state*
ment to make. He replied, by making a few re«
marks unfit for publication, in which he admitted
having led the daughter astray before she was
thirteen years of age. In reply to his remarks, the
magistrate said: “Sir, lam not inclined to perse
cute the unfortunate, but I must say that you are a.
brute in human shape. 55 The defendant was com
mitted, in default of s3 } ooo bail,, to an&wer the
charge of bigamy; and $3,000 for incest, and $l,OOO
for adultery.
Of course there was the usual amount of crying,
incident to the recital of such an affair, the whole
scene ending with the mother almost fainting, the
daughter standing over her with childlike affection.
, The tableau drew tears to the eyes of some of the
spectators, ‘and something more material from their
pockets. .. A sum of money was subscribed im
promptu, and handed to the mother, to meet tempo
rary wants. A case like this appeals at once to the
humanity and liberality of Philadelphians.

It seems that on Saturday evening the defenoautf,:
accompanied by a lady, applied at the ticket office of
the Arch-street Theatre, and obtained the necessary
cards to enter. A dbg accompanied the couple. The
gentleman was informed that the dog could: not be
admitted.' A parley was about to ensue, whereupon
Adam Trefts, the principal officer of the-theatre,
was called, and said the dog would have to be left
outside.' The owner of the'canine became somewhat
indignant. A gentleman standing by began to pat the
animal, which led to some words. The lady, in fact,
chargea the individual with having insulted-her,
whereupon the gentleman-struck him a violent blow
in the face. Quite an excitement ensued. Both
the men put their “props up,” and began to square
off at each other in a style that seemed to signify
they understood something of the manly art. Officer
Trefts now interfered, but the next moment he re
ceived a very severe kick in his stomach, which
almostmade him eject a terrapin supper, The fight
was fast verging to. become a free one. The Sixth
ward police officers interfered, and two of them were
pretty severely punched by the dog-owner. He was
finally taken to the Btation house, where he was
detained. The defendant was held to bail, in the
sum of $l,OOO, to answer at court.

as Lewis & Damon vs. The city of Philadelphia.
This waa an action to recover as damages the
value of one-third the brig Evergreen, lost Januaiy
6,1857. It is alleged by plaintiffs, that the-city of
Philadelphia, being owners of the city ice-boat, were
common carriers, and towing, boats'for hire; that
the captain of the Evergreen made-a contract with
the captain of the city ice-boat, to towthe Ever
green” clear of the iuc which was then fast making
in the Delaware. It is further alleged, that when
near Bombay. Hook the captain of the ice-boat cast
the brig off in the ice, against the remonstrance of
the captain of the latter, the result of which was,
that the brig became entangled in the Ice, and, be
ing .unable to extricate herself, was wrecked; and
-became a totfll loss,
' The defence was that the captain of the ice-boat
bad no authority to enter Unto such a contract as
was alleged, and that in point of fact he had not—
that the business of the city waa, If possible, to keep
the river open and not to tow vessels. Also, that

MADE BY F. 0. 0, DAELKY,
These superb Drawings,.which comprise sixty* two
in nnmber. form one of the most notable and interesting
collections of original drawings in America. MrrDar*
loy'B fitness, as an illustrator of the characters and scenes
of the great American Novelist, has been frequently no
ticed by nearly all the leading papers in Europe and
America. It was the London Athenc&um who first called
upon Darley to illustrate Cooper-.and declared* “We
ehoold then, enter a now region of art as dramatic, pic*
turesque, and vivid, as any artist ever, has had the
pleasure of first attempting.” And.theWortfTi American
Heview remarks, “These drawings have the vigor of
the moet elaborate, and tne delicacy of ths most refined
pictures; the artist has caught the life, freshness, and
action, of the author’s conception. ”
It may be safely claimed that no series of original
drawings, at all comparable to these in inteieat and
value, hftß evet before baanoffered to the American
public.
In addition to the drawings will be offered the
supebb pobtka.it of cooper.

artist's best and most* noted pictures. -

.'Gilt Top, on Tinted-laid Paper 3.50 per vol.
The remarkable epoch treated by Mr. Kirk is full of
grand historical figures, and by his narrative an entirely
new light is thrown on some of the most important events
in Charles 1 career. His position as the { * Napoleon of
the Middle Ages” is fully indicated, and the influence
is traced hoth of his ambition and of his fall upon the
destinies of the principal European States. '
The Atlantic Monthly says:
“ We have no hesitation in assigning toMr.-Kirk’s
most fascinating narrative a places, with the* great
achievements of genius in the department he has chosen,
to fill. His advent among historians will be welcomed
the world over.” ’
From Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie: _

great writers of his land and time
