Tho Captain-General Domingo Dulco, Mr. Seward's dear and panic a lar friend, sends his resignation home to Madrid by to-day's steamer. He, did the same thine? six months 'ago, but his more emphatic request now made to be relieved is attributed, and with t icaRon I believe, to a sharp reprimand recently received by him from tho (Spanish Govern ment in regard to his treatment of tho "emanci pados." The immediate result of this reprimand was n decree issued by the Captain-General, on the 2d instant, ordering all "etnancipados" to be de livered to the Government, within fifteen days. Immense constoron lollowed this decree, a consternation sol Itotiud and general that on the 10th General -ilce lollowed up his first de cree by a second, which completely annu led it, and which would pretty certainly have secured bis recall by Senor Canovas del Castillo, had he not taken care to follow it up as above stated by a second resignation of his post. & How imperatively some decisive action is demanded in this matter of the '"emancipados" you may ltulgo Irom the following facts, which need no elaborate commentary. On the 10th instant, the day of Dulce's second decree remanding the "em.-tcipados" out ot the reach of the Government, tuerc came steaming into this port, where she 3 now lying at anchor, ner Moet Catholic Majesty's ship-of-war Neptuno, commanded by Captain Herrera, the son of the Admiral on this station. She brought with her threo hundred and seveuty-tive bozdles, which is the name here given to native Africans. These poor creatures, tor the most part very young, bad been captured by Captain llerrcra, olf Cape San Antonio, in a condition which beggars all description. That officer, a most humane and Irish -spirited sailor, could not give any adequate expression to his indignation at the barbarous treatment inflicted upon the poor wretches. When he captured them, he counted more than eighty dead bodies lying unburied, a prey to the ravenous and obscene birds of the Cape. On his way to Havana the captain came up with and captured the schooner Math tide, having on board one hundred more bozales, purporting to be law! ully slaves, and the Jawlul property of Don Francisco Marty y Torrens, more familiarly known as "Pancho Marty," and tor many year's notorious as one of the most cynical slave deal ers of the island. Tbe MaUiilde had papers signed by the Lieutenant-Governor ot l'inar del Rio, Senor Menduina, the Intimate friend and partner -of a certain Colonel Arguelles, whose name, I think, Mr. Seward and Captain-General Dulco have heard before meutioued, and are lil ely, il they' live long enotigu, to hear a good deal more of before they die. As Senor Menduina played false to Arguelles, Jn the all air ot the quarrel between Dulce and that personage, he is still Lieutenant-Governor of Pinar del Itio, and had he been in Havana could doubtless have dined with the great American "friend of humanity," on the occa sion of the banquet recently offered to him in honor of his polite kidnapping ot General Dulce's fugitive foe. Captain lien-era regarded these papers of Senor Menduina as mere subterfuges, aiid sei.ed the negroes in the name of the Crown of Spain, intending to restore them to liberty. But no sooner hud the Neptuno arrived than," by an express order of Captain-General Dulce, these negroes, thus liberated by a Spanish naval tllcer, were handed over to "Pancho Marty," w hoso latest adventure w as a partner ship with one Anarews, iiist sentenced to trans portation bv the British Government for kid napping Indians in Yucatan aud selling them here. Whether acts of thii sort can be put an end to, otherwise than by abolishing slavery itself, is much doubted b-th here and in Spam. But there is no doubt that General Dulce might have done much to ameliorate the condition of the negroes here, had ho honestly attempted to carry out the Koyal Decree of October last re quiring all "emancipHdvis" to be givn up to the Government, and Bent to Fernando Po. These "emancipados" had previously been hired ou; to planters and the inhabitants gene- rally, a-d the planters, it seems, petitioned General Dulce not to enforce tho Koyal Ducree, at least, until after tbe sugar crop had beon fathered. Dulce's old enemy, Navasenes, whom eent to Spain in disgrace, however, has re cently demanded before the Spanish Parliament to know why the Koyal Decree had not been carried out, and what right a Captain General had to disobey the commands of the tjueen. The consequence has been a sharp re primand to Dulce, who on the 2d instant issued a decree erdertng all "emancipados" to be deli ered to the Government wicnin fifteen days. This excited fresh consternation throughout t he island; and finding thaf. it would be impossible . to exact the tulolnient of this, another decree, as I have said, was issued on the 10th, com pletely annulling the foiraer. The Royal De cree sent here by Senor Canovas del Castillo was a wie and humane one, and tended to strike at the roots ot the criminal abuses which multiply prodigiously in the Island o Cuba. There are families now living In Madrid in luxury and splendor by means of "emancipa dos" given them by Government officers fre quently one hundred to one person; these are bound'for seven years (something as the Freed men'B Bureau with us are binding them for Ave), and receive three dollars per month, or, rather, the Government receives this sum lor them. T1cy are hired out at seventeen dollars per month, so that any favorite of a Captain-General who obtains one hundred can live in Madrid at the court with an iocome of seventeen hundred dollars monthly without once thinking of the . poor creatures who sweat and siah in the fields of lire ot Cuba. The greater portion ot the Gov ernment emnloves eet them as perouisUes, and are extremely liberal of them to their irienda and favorites. It is to be hoped that with the advent of lluices successor, wnoever ne may oe, iuua will beerln to see the end of a state of things so , scandalous aud so full ot peril to all her best In terests. jv. x. worm.

Toronto, C. W., March 19. The people and au thorities here lat night were greatly concerned, and alt the m.litary were on the qui vive during the night. A battery was loaded on the cars, the engines were steamed up, men were kept, standing by the gans, volunteers in the drill shed, and signals were arranged for alarming the people, in the event of an attack on the Iron tier towns. A plot is reported to have been discovered to blow-j the drill shed and volunteers white drillii!?r A large city sewer runs under tue drill shed, with its entrance a hundred yards off. Reports say barrels of powder are to be rolled up the sewer, and when volunteers meet lor drill in the shed the whole are to be blowng up. The sewer is now guarded day and night. Reports yesterday circulated that Sweeney was with a large force at Detroit. Another tbat he appeared at Suspension Bridge, but finding too large a force in front he fell back. Strange to say, these reports found some believers. The morning papers contain lull despatches from nil parts ol Canada relative to the celebra tion oi St. Patrick's day, iioui which it appears thai tit all points quiet was maintained. A des patch from Ottawa says that a battery loft there for the front on Saturday. Otaer movements of troops to the frontier are reported from different points. The organization of new companies is eoing forward w ith great rapidity, and the alarm seems unabated. Everybody now feels that the Fenians mean a desperate attempt to obtain Canada as a "base," aim very litilo dependence ia placed upon tho American Government's professions of observing neutrality. The authorities lcel that they can expe6t no sympathy from the United States, aud must help themselves if tbey would maintain peace. Statements made show that ten thou sand regulars and ten thousand volunteers are under arms, and litteen thousaud inoro volun teers are drilled and armed, but not under pay, making thirty -live thousand ready at a moment's notice. Toronto, March 199 P. M. In an address to the Grand Jury to-day Chief Justice Draper, at tho opening of the city assizes, delivered a sterling address on the, recent Fenian develop ments on the continent. Ho said: "I tirnily believe that if even one, of the Irish resi dents in Canada, no matter what his creed or party, are so insensible to tho advantages of our present formtpf government as to ' desire a change, least ot all by armed invaders; and yet dauuer seems to be imminent; but it is not war, as that is understood by tho law of nations, that threatens us; it is uoc civil or internal con flict, but it is an intended invasion from a foreign country, with which our sovereign is at peace, by a body ot men whose acts will place them beyond the pale and protection ot all na tional law, and who cannot tlierelore be ex pected to act in coniormity therewith, or to ac knowledge any ot us obligations. Their avowed motives include that of rovene upou England for the alleged wrongs ot Ireland, and they pro pose to assail ihis province as a meaus ot insult and annoyance, more within their reach and easier compassed. Such action, conceived ana executed in such a spirit, would, in all human probability, be an outlet for tho most fiendish passions oi the most abandoned of those asso ciated in it, whose success would be accomoanied by rapine and desolation, wholesale plunder and unrestricted licentiousness. But the sound ing ot the alarm throughout tho province was instantaneously followed by tho gathering of willing thousands to defend our altars and our homes. The country,, which was, as it wero, slumbering in peace, has roused Itself into activity, aud presents the aspect of a vast ex tended camp; and, while relying, as heretofore, on the co-operation of the mother country, tue Canadian people, from Sarnia to Gaspa, have sprung to anus for self-defense. If forced to employ them, they will strike in a good cause, and iu the humble hope ot the protection, of Divine Providence. There can be but one recep tion for the invaders, and steru aud pitiless opposition to repel the aggression striking lor Queen and country. lor law and liberty, lor wives and children and may God defend our rights." The volunteers are drilling lo-night in largely increased numbers. There are no new disposi tions ot the lorces. 2V. Y. Mera.d- The Fenian At my of Invasion., The Roberts wine of the Fenian Brotherhood have removed their base of operations to their new neadquarters, -JNo. auti iiroadway. The Civil Department, under the superintendence of Mr. O'Sullivau, the energetic Secretary tor Civil Aiiairs, nave eliected a retreat trom the Jones House, and promise to remain at their present quarteis until accommodations have been pro cured lor them at Halifax, Uuebec. or Montreal. The War Department, under the authority and control ot iiencrai T. 1. Sweeney, will also re move to the same building in a few days, with the rtatf. The entire floor, oue hundred feet in depth by twenty-live, will be used by the Civil and War Departments. Money is pouring iu last to the coders of President Roberts. Ten to liiteen thousand dollars a day is tue average. A com mitt re of two gentlemen, Mr. Shields, ex loreman of Forty-one Hose, and Mr. Moouey, waited upon Mr. O'Sulllvan to inform him that a subscription was about to be made by tho drivers and conductors of the avenue B and D lines of railroad, for the purpose of purcha-ing arms and munitions of war. From Maine to Oregon communications are beln received by General Sweeney, asking for the proper authority to raise companies' of Inlantry, cavalry, ana artillery, to serve in the Held against Canada or any of the British North American possessions. General Sweeney turns tne communications over to uencrai xavis, who has the requisite power to raise the comnuuies. and when organized they are mustered in by Colonet Michael Murphy, Commissary-General of Musters. That oilicer has his handa full of business. In tho cavalry regiment organized hv Colonel Murphy, twelve companies, the proper streneth ol a cavalry regimont.have been Increased to twenty-two, so great is the enthu siasm to have a slap at the British Lion. Colonel Johu Warren's regiment ot infantry is quite inn, ami anotner reirimeut in pro gress ot organization. Officers ol all grades. irom the major-general to the beardless second lieutenant, oiler their services daily, and are accented by General bweeney. Whenever Ueu eral Sweeney makes a movement, it is certain that he will have the support, advice, and mili tary judgment of the best military minds in America. Tbe Canadian lournals made a great fuss about tne "Sweeney raid," as they termed it, which their distempered brains had conjured up tor St. Patrick's day. jnow, ueuerai sweeuey keeps his own counsel, and It would be nothing less than sheer madness in that otlicer to make an attaek uoon a certain part or point ot Canada or elsewhere, )ust at the moment when- the British authorities were prepared for and ex pected him. Besides, tbe Governor-General of Canada has no special reasons for believing that Sweeney will ever attaek Canada at all. On the other hand, to show that there is such a thing as a Fenian army organized and uuder the command of General Thonw Sweeney, we will nimply give the number of meu mustered into the service of the Fenian organization, under officers who have served in the armies ot the United State and other Governoicnti), We give Ibe figures bv States, and would further fiatc that of the whole number ninety per cent. are veteran one, . two, throe, and four years Iroops. This Is merely the commencement of the organization, and three times the number of troops given below can be procured as soon as there is one drop of Fenian blood spilled upon English soil, whether in the streets of Montreal, or the Plains of Abraham, or any where ebe where tho British ensign insults tho nostrils of Irishmen.

Some of the States are not represented in the above figures, as O'Mahouv is all-nowertul in one or two, and in somo few others the or ganization is not perfect. In toe States above represented there are inspector-generals, who were appointed by General Sweeney, and obey him as faithfully as it they were subordinates of the General's old regiment, the Kith Infantry. To meet his force of veterans (for General Swee ney will not give a commisaion to men who have not seen service, and it ia also to be remembered that his rank and rile are also veterans, as the Kanueks will shortly find out) the Canadian Gov ernment has at present in the field fifteen tuou- snnd volimtebrs of questionable usefulness. These 15,000 may be increased to 25,000 at the lutlhest, and the 7500 regtilras, who will cer tainly fight, with the exception ot a rifle and an Miifantry regiment, who are tainted with l'Yniauism. and correspond regularly with Gene ral toweenoy. nere we nave au aggregate of 33, 000 troops; aud it is probable that a counle of good regiments will arrive at Halifax before the 1st ot April, as a reinforcement to tho 7600 regulars. There is a reserve, however, tor the Canadians. It consists of the militia on paper, commonly estimated at from 600B to 500,000, not one of whom but what would take to their heels like the Knglish at Culloden, were thev to be confronted with good soldiers under a leader lite bweeney. But if the Canadians have a resprve. Sweeney has also a reserve of more availability, consist ing of the entire Irish population of tlie United staten, which win flock over the bonier at the instant that the cowardly Canadians threaten to show any interference, to that the tight will certainly be between General Sweeney's 55,000 Fenians, and Sir John Michel's 10,000' regulars and 2"),000 volunteers. This is tbe way the case stands at present. Let the Canadian lournals preserve the Ceuers given above for future refer ence, when Roberts and Sweeney march over the borders. N. T. World. ' J A ft.

Strong Feeling in Favor of Annexation to the United States. rr.OGHESS OF THK COURT OP INQUIRY FACTS ELICITED. 1 Kingston. Jamaica. March 7. The Royal Commission Btill sits at Spanish Town, daily wading turougn an immense mass oi eviaenoe concerning the late outbreak, aud the condition of the island generally. We can only gue?s at the imprest-ion made on tne minus ot tue com missioners b.v this testimony, and the conclusion they are likely to arrive at. There is abundant evidence to prove that tho outbreak was not a riot, but a deliberately planned insurrection. . It ha9 been proved to a certain extent, and further proof can be had, that a kind of militaiy organization of the negroes, throughout tbe counties ol Middlesex and surrey at least, existed. 'No greater proof cm be ottered than that squads ot men met for drill repeatedly in various parts of thoee counties. Within less than a mile from where I am sitting is a Held where the Kingston i "volunteers" drilled three or lour times a- week. Numbers of pf rsons are familiar with the fact that these organizations had their field and staff oilicers. A sou ad ol these men was dispersed only live or B(x weeks since, while in the house ol one oi tnem one nuuarea anu eiguiy Dau car tridges were found. This, too, as late, as las.t January. . .. Then the conduct of Taul Bome.who instantly assumed command as eeneral-in-chlef, aud whose authority as such was as instantly re cognized by his deluded followers, who ad drpRse.d him as "Mv Lord." Threatening ex pressions used by negroes as far back as last May, and the proven lact tnat tne insurrection ,was looked tor in August, are aaaitionai proois 'ol deliberately laid plau. So strongly am I convinced of this, that I cannot conceive how the Commisbioners can arrive at n aiuerent con clusion. it. a ennallv plain that the obiect of tho Insur rection was to murder or drive out of the island all the white inhabitants. The murder of a few colored people was ono of Bogle's blunders. It was never Intended to murder them indiscrimi- nrite.lv; for it well known that tne original plot w as the work of "brown men," as a certain class of colored persons here are called, a class re c arded as the most dancerous in the island, be cause more intelligent, cunning, and designing than thfl unthinking and indolent neuro. I do not know whether this latter point could b proved to the satisfaction ol a Jury, or to the KHiiMtiieiion of the Commissioner, but it is the opinion deeply and firmly entertained by the white and most respociaoie uuioreu luuuuimuiu Di .lumfllen."

DBFARTURH OP TUB mUTlSH FLEET. Admiral Sir James Hope, commanding all the West India ileet, received a despatch last Satur day or Sundav from Sir Frederick Brnoe, her lirdannic Majesty's Minister at Washington, re questing him to order all the vessels under h s command In these waters to rendezvous as soon as possible ot Halifax, N. S. Considerable ex citement has been caused In consequence, and rruch anxiety exists to ascertain tho cause of the Minister's pressing request. The general supposition is that the old Nova Scotia fishery trouble with ibe United States has broken out once more. The Admiral's flagship, tho iuncnt, ninety guns, will sail in two or three days. , HI UNITED STATES. , , It is vcrv remarkable that there exlsta the most wide-spread desire that the United States fhould annex the island. I have been very much struck with the spontaneousness with which tho sentiment has been uttered by all persons of whatever country or color I have come in contact with. It was the more surpris ing, since I was entirely unprepared for it. be lieving, from all I had read of English people and English colonists, that they were unaltera bly devotod to their sovereign, etc., etc. 2T.

" " Full reports of tho Jamaica Investigation ap pear in tho English journals. Witnesses havo been called to testify tor and against the authori ties, and Governor Eyro himself has beon per muted to pive elaborate explanations ot nis con due', backed by evidence Intended to sbow that he wes guilty of no excesses. With regard to tho casc of Mr. Gordon, tho evidence remains as inconclusive as the report of his trial presented it; Governor Eyro declared thafc he heard a number of reports of his guilt, but he could not say from whom. Frcsscd by tho commissioners for something more definite, he referred to the placard calling a meeting ot 1 he poor people of bt. Ann s in Juiv, ana oecinrca mat tno "very lact of his. holding up the Custos and Mr. llerschell to the odium ot tbe public in tbat placard, and their being murdered alter, prove that he was the prime mover of tnat insurrec tion." This is all that appears against Gordon. Tims tar, there is no prcot ot nis complicity with tno rebellion, ana no excuse tor his butchery. i Many of the sufferers and eyo-wltncsses of the cruelties practised upon others have been sum moned bciore the commissioners, and tnetr evi dence reveals a series of savage cruelties which would disgrace a sepoy. We cull the toiiowing extracts liom the reports of the testimony: a woman wmrr-ED with a wire-cat. A woman named Susannah Bennett swore positively that she bad received one hundred lashes from a wire-cat. There was evidence that CHts had been made with wire twisted in tho tails. Dr. Bannon, an army surgeon, who was appclnted to examine tho woman's back, de posed that she could never have been flogged with a military cat at all. The next day the same woman received twenty-five lashes irom a cat, of which tho lash was a soft bark. MEN FLOGGED AND HANGED. In Marshall's case, which forms the main charpe against Gordon Ramsay, witnesses de posed tnat as ne was unaergoing a nogaing at Morani Bay,, he writhed a good deal under the punishment, 'and cried out "Lord 'a mercy 1" upen which Ramsay ordered him to be taken down and hanged. . A rope was put round his nick and ho was partly shoved and partly uraggta towaras me court, nouse steps, one witness described that he was drugged to the steps like a barrel up a ship's side; another that a rope was "rove" round his neck, and that ho was "bowsed up." It has been depoeed that Ramsay struck one prisoner two blows in 'the face; that the tame man was afterwards flosged, and while the punishment was being inflicted Ramsay asked him whether Gordon told him to kill'bucki-a." The man said "No," and Ramsay. men oraercu tno soicuera io striKe .nun,. and re pcatedthe question. He returned the same an swer, and was .flogged again. Ramsay then took out his pistol and threatened to blow out Ills biains. ' ...... MORE WOMAN-WHIPriNG. Two special constables deposed that when the soldiers t ame up at Stony Gut, a black man named Levison turned to run, upon which ho was shot in the shoulder by au artilleryman. Levison, however, escaped iuto tho bush. His wild remained behind, and Ramsay ordered her to be flogged because she would hot, or could not tell liim where Paul Bogle was. After the Hogging, as sho did not tell, Ramsay said he would hang her. By his direction a ropo was placed round her neck, and there it continued a whole day, during w hich tune, as the witness said, - she looked "like a beast ready for slaughter-" The troops let her go on the Thurs day when Mr. Ramsay went away. s William Christie, a man residing on bis own property at Font Hill, testified: t "When the soldiers came my father went to the woods. Tbey lied in mothei's hands ou iho post, fctrijiprd her stark naked, and flusgod her. Tlioy pavo thirty lathes. 1 was on a hill not lar oil'. I cinntod the in myself, aud when I came in she told me." WANTON CRUEL1T BY AN OFFICER. : George and Mary Bryan told a Btory which attributed to a British officer an act of the most wanton and shocking cruelty. Mary Bryan was married to a negro ot the same name, Ned Bryan, and they lived, along with her brother George and her brother-in-law James Bryan, at Long Bay, not far from Manchioneal, occupying three "small settlements" of thuir own. On the 4th of October George and Ned went to King Kton, where tbey remained over the 11th, the day of the outbreak, and did not return to Long Bay till the 15th. On the morning of tbe 10th a detachment ot black soldiers came along the road. A Dr. Morris seemud to be in com mand. They took Ked and James Bryau, who were Bitting down in the road. Ned said: "What' have I doner I have lust come from Kingston. The Doctor had a pistol in his hand, and said: "No cheek I If you are lust from Kingston come along with me, and 1 will Inquire about it." They went a little w ay along the road, and then Dr. Morris ordered the two brothers to be tied to a treo face to lace, and three of the black soldiers shot them. Mary stood by with a child in her arms ami witnessed the execution. "I bawled out" (cried), she said, "and one of the black soldiers said to me, 'It is that child who has saved you tbis morning!' 'J the cats aoain. In the evidence of a magistrate at Bath, Mr. Kirkland. we find the following confirmation of the testimony concerning the use otthe cats: "Many were flogged, about fifteen a dy; only one man was tloirired seveioiy. and he got forty lastios. The people wore punished in my unola's-vard in Bath. There was soldo wire used lu the oats, but only lor the men, not for the women. Mo military officer saw the cats.

Ho was attorwurds hanged. Only one man was floured before h was sent to Morant Bay, but that was a mistake. There wore about ono hundred and llitv cent down to Moiaut Bay under Maroon guard, 'J hoe flogged at Bath wore lot go." It was sought, on bohalf of Eyre, to palliate the atrocity of woman-whipping by the plea that the women were not Hogged with wire; but the evidence given above shows that this was a falsehood. The London Daily News, comment ing with iust severity upon the cruelties proved to have been nonunitted, remarKs: "It will be no longer f ow-t ior us' atter c'ul te,tl" mony, to comfort ourselves with the belief tha it was Impossible that men could bo flogtred first and hung afterwards, or that women could havo been flogged by Englishmen. 'But If it be possi ble, the shame is made mote burning by the claim that seems pot in for tenderness and deli cacy because women were not flogged with wire. To these inhuman monsters it would appear that only the physical pain was a thing to be counted, and that the atrocity of stripping women naked that they might be floirged by men eccmed nothing, ft only they were not I adly cut."

Supreme Court at Nisi Prius Jutiee Thomp son. Martin Ai. Wmte vs. Tho fraukford aud tM'inhwark Pliilalolphia City Passenger Railway Company. This if an action biought to recover damages for tho ejection of the piaiutifT, who is a co on d man, irom one of tho cars of tue defendants. From ti e evidence it appears that t'ie plainiilT, a lion-commissioned officer in tbe 24tb United Stated colnied troops, in company with another non-com-missioned otlicer oi the same re-nmont got on iho trout platform ol one ot tho cars of the defoudan's, in Apiil last, on th. ir way to Camp William Ponu, where ihey had been ordered to report at 7 o c!occ J tier ti.ey had been ou the car tor a tow moments tho drivor foid them that they must g. t off, as that vi as not tho car lor them. 1 hey rotusod to leavu tlio car, aud it was stopped, and tho conductor came loi ward to assist in pit1 ting thorn off They were then compelled to pet olf. itie conductor in reply to thoquea.Iou oi a passenger, way they wore nut oil, eaid that such were his orders. Hence the pre sent action. The dotunse set up is tbat the defendants as a rail way corporation croait d for the purpose, of carrying ptssengers, have tho rixht to mke such rules as wilt secure the comfort and convenience ot their passengers, and lor that purpose may exo ude par ticular persons and cia-ses, and in the ' exercise of that right may exclude black people. 1 bat in the beginning ol 18U5 tho Company passed resolutions allowing oo'.orcd people to ride iu atl their cars, but that it met with so much objection from their passengers, that four weoks later they were obliged to repeal the samo aud pass other reso lution restricting the right oi colored people to rule, to every tilth car The ease is a very Interesting ono, from th fact that theooject of tbe present action is to test the right ot the l'aseenger ittutwav Coinpuuies ol tue city to exclude colored people trom the curs I no lol lowiiie points tor tlio instruction of the Court to the jury were presented on bohalf ot tne plaintiff:). t he following are tno pluiutitf's points: Tho learned Judge is requested to charge the Jury.- 1, The plaintiff, although a colored man, had the same light of pussage in a railway oar of i.ie de fendants whlcn the law gives to any othor person, and tho detendants had no right or authority to re luse to convoy him as a passeugorto an point on the line of their road to winch be desired to go if he was willing to pay bis tare. 2. If the jury is satisfied from the evidenoi that the plaintiff? ot on the cur for the purpose of bemir cur ried as a passenger, aud intending to pay his faro, and the conductor refused to carry him, tue plaintiff is entitled to recover damages in this actiou, 8. If the plaintiff was ordered by tho conductor to Ituve the car, and did ao in order t urav nt a breach of the peace, his compliance wit.i the order it not to be considered as a voluntary act on bis part, which deprives him of his right to recover damages iu this action against the Company. 4. Ihe defendants are a corporation created for tho purpose ol constructing aud operating a railway lor the conveyance ot passengers. Thoir powers are limited by their charter. Which con. era upen thuin no right to make regulations whereby colored per sons aro excluded as passengers from particular ears, btch regulations are m violation oi the law, at.d the corporation is liable in damages io the plaintin it they wore cuforced against him by the conductor or agent of the Coinpauyx 0. It was the duty ot the conductor, it tlie car was in motion to stop it and rccuiv the plaintiff on board, when notitied m the usual mauner that he desired io take passage, ur less tb car was already tilled with pasrengers; and it the plriutiQ conducted himself wita propriety aud deoency aua was roauy and willing to pay his fare when applied for, it was tho duty ol the company to carry him in the oar to his point of destination on the hue ot their railway, li the couductor reused either to receive or to carry the plaintiff as a passenger, under auch circum stances, tie is entitled to recover damages from tne company 0n this action. The following are tne defendants' points: 1. A railroad corporation created for tho oarriage of passcngeis may lay dowurules for the coinlort and convenience of iho.-e whom it is bound to carry. 2. That the right to make such -rules extends to authorize such corporation to exolude particiAir individuals or classes ol individuals. v 8. That in the exeioise of suou right the said or. peratioii may exoiude irom particular caf nugroes or black persons 4. That the right to deoldo upon such exclusion Is with tbe C'oinpauy ; audit' they exclude such persons from aonvictiou tnat if they aro admitted suou ad mission will cause persons of other e as-es to leave IliA ram or rntnA tn Alitor thAin. thun thov have PT- prcn-ed the right upon such considerations as the Court will not interfere to set aside euoh rul ot ex ecution. Justice Thompson doo'inod to answor all tho points ot the plaintiff, except the fourth, which he answered in the negative, saying that the evidence was that the defendants had provided oertam cars for the conveyance ot colore I peoplo, and tbat the piauitiff was not on oue of them; tnat the Com pany had tbe right to make this ron'r union, and tbe conductor of the car iu question committed no trespass in ejecting the plaintiff, and that the verdict ot tbe Jury shou-d be tor the defendant".
