UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY, E. I>. IIERMOSILLA, c. T., August J, 1807. Judge Bradford, Mr. Fosdlck, Colonel Boone and Mr. Haven came from Pueblo to Port Lyon ns a committee to welcome Gen. Wright’s expedition to the Territo ry, and offer him any aid they could in advancing his great undertaking. Prom them I learned that the Arkansas was “well settled to Canon City.” ' But a Western man’s idea of “ well settled” is very different from that of a Lancaster county farmer. The two closest neigh bors I saw on the Arkansas were four miles apart, and the greatest distance’l traveled without meeting a ranch was from Doan’s Ferry to Branaman’s, a dis tance of nearly thirty miles. Wo travel ed on the south side of the river, having crossed on the rickety ferry at Doan’s.— No doubt there are more settlements on the opposite bank. A CHARACTER. One of the most peculiar, and we think a characteristic man of this region, we en countered near Branaman’s. In compa ny with Lieut. Hanay and Capt, Stuart I rode to the bottom, where we saw a stove-pipe sticking above a pile of badly arranged logs that had taken, ns if by chance, a shanty shape. On checking our horses before the opening to tills cu rious structure, we saw sitting, on the doorsteps a man about forty years of age, with long, light-colored hair and reddish beard that had a sort of Joh n-Brown-look about it.- His eyes were gray and rather soft, while his mouth was working with a motion supposed to be peculiar to per sons who are eating hot mush; in truth, the fellow was taxing his energies to re tain and masticate an enormous quid of tobacco, which seemed to bo a great pro ducer of saffron-colored saliva. . He was bareheaded and barefooted, and on our approach he stood up to his full six feet. Ho looked as ho stretched himselfas If ho could draw himself out to twice that length, like a sliding telescope, but ho : was too lazy to do so. He had on a shirt and a pair of ragged pants, and no doubt ho felt those articles of dress to bo very cumbersome, wearing them merely to show his respect for society. , “How do you do, sir,’’one of our party asked; “have you got any milk?” “Nary drop; I’m getting on bully,” came the reply. “G6t any water in the house?” “No sir, but I kin git some. Phil, Phil I” After ho had called “Phil” several times, we heard a noise in the cabin, and in a few minutes a huge, dirty, over grown boy of nineteen made his appear ance, rubbing his eyes and yawning—(it was 2o’clock, P. M.) “ Phil, git some water for these fellers.” Phil started for the water, and the rancheman turned to Stuart, and giving his waistband a sallor-liko hitch, asked: “ Whar moutyeh agot that critter, and how much did yeh guv for ’em ?” Stuart told him the place and price. “Now, see heah, stranger, yeh’ve bin fooled the dogondeat! That strata critter ain’t worth no sich money. I’ll giyeyeh a boss worth four of him for. jis half that money, and Pll take that tbar wild brute in part payment. Yeh ace I haint bin long in this country, but I know& bosses. My wife kin break a critter'as well as I kin—-but I wouldn’t let Moll ride that boss no how.” Stuart assured him ho was satistled with his horse, and would run all risks. “ Wall, if yer bound on a’dlatroylng of yourself, why go in—but I kin say I warned yob.” I saw him eyeing ray horse, so I asked him “ what he thought of him “Wall, stranger,” he replied, “yeb’ve got a good critter ; a very fine critter. I remember as well’s yesterday when Bara Pearaon stole that ar boss from a Caman che chief. Let mo see. (Here he scratch ed his head.) Yes, It’s nigh onto twenty two year ago. He was a bully buffalo animile then.” I could not help laughing at hia story. He noticed it and wentinto a lengthy ge nealogy of the “critter,” ending with a full description of tho man I purchased the horse of. My companions laughed, and the rgnohemau continued: “Now, mister, I’vegota ponyyoung enough to be that nr’ aniraile’s grander ter. Yeh kin have her for that hoaa an’ a Remington pistol.” I did not feel like trading. After get ting a drink we mounted our horses to start, when the ranchman shouted out: “ Whar did yeh come from?” Oneof the party answered, “ From the East.” “Dogoued if X didn’t reckon so—seein’ how yeii got on yer critters.” We noticed, as wo rode off, that this man was cutting a raca (ditch) to Irrigate some bottom land. Ho will get tho thing started ; then leave in disgust for a point further west, when energy and capital will come in to complete and elevate the work begun by the pioueor. MEXICANO. We met a number of ox trains going to Lyon from the Hurafano' with corn.— These teams are driven by Mexicans of a still darker complexion than any we had yet seen. They look wonderingly at ua and ask “ Adonde va usted ?” Those who understand the Spanish reply “ Voy a la California.” On hearing which the Mexi caus get together and express by word and gesture their surprise. They part from us with a “Quede ustedes con JDios.” It is no doubt out of place here to men tion my feelings, and that of the majority of Americans I have met in the far west, towards the Mexicans. A people who could actus they have done towards the misled but admirably nobio and brave Maximilian must bo lacking in the quali ties that make a people great. And the “ freedom” of Mexico, culminating in an act so barbarous, will but lit the people tor a heavier yoke, and sharpen with a keener edge' the next swords drawn against them. TOPOGRAPHY. As we ascend the Arkansas, the face of thecouutry becomes more rollingand bold. Ravines cut down from the plateaus on either side, making a continued series of buttes that project into the bottom lands. The land bordering, on the. river grows richer, and spreads out into exten sive Helds of dark rich loam, that only need industry to be very productive. Back six miles from the river the land is poor, desert-like, being covered with broken shale and occasional drift boulders, uuder iaid with sandstone. There is no obstacle, so far, to the construction of a railroad.— Indeed, from Fort Lyon to the Huar fano the . ascent is gradual, with no heavy cuts, and through the finest por tion flf Ctojprfldo, THE FLORA ALONG THE ARKANSAS. Prom the clay we struck the Arkansas, forty-two miles below Fort Lyon, up to the present time, when our line is seventy miles above the fort, there has been no change in the timber of the bottom lands. Cottonwood, and only cottonwood, meets the eye. There is, however, a decided change in the general flora. Near the Opishpa, an inconsiderable stream, with steep, clayey banks, we first met the curi ous tree, likecactus( Opimrta.46omcenBe). It is a perennial, of a woody texture, and when dried is quite bard and filled with perforations. The flower, pow fading, is Blood red, and when a cactus of this va riety is in full bloom it looks like a largo "burning bush.” The elevated lands, no matter how arid-looking, still support large quantities of the prickly pear(Opun tia Missourlcniß), which form a shelter for the rattle-snakes that abound near them. Artemisia is found in largo quantities in the bottoms, and presents a serious ob stacle to the chain men. It is called by Lewis and Clarke ‘‘wild sago n name borrowed irmn the early voyageura. In reality it is a species of wormwood. During Fremont’s explorations many mistakes were made Id the florq of this region. One was that they had discover ed a new genus—a sallno plant, which they called Fremoniia, after the officer In charge, It was, however, described long before by a German who explored the Missouri river, and whose name I have forgotten. He called it the aarcobatla. — Wild verbena is met occasionally; same CARLISLE, PA... THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1867, variety exists In such quantities, near Fort Hays. The lemon plantis plentiful' In the bottoms,and In tho even Inga emits a delightful, borgaraot-liko odor. Tho zerinia has a yellowish blossom, and it Is a very beautiful, odorless flower. Tho quantity of sun-flowers that exist here is wonderful, and very tiresome to look at. Between the Opishpa and Hcrmoallla, on the Huarfano, a distance of twenty-flvo miles, the country is covered with sun flowers. I have seeSn five thousand acres of this flower at one view. Tho grasses of this region ore good—though not ns rich as the buffalo, prarla, or blue grass. Tho gramma grass of the Mexicans makes good grazing, but is not as plentiful as the inferior herd grass that grows in tulle' wherever it can get hold of the soil. In the ravines a wild cereal grows abundant ly, of which onr animals seems very fond. The plainsmen call if “ wildcats." This is certainly a mistake, for tho plant is in reality a wild indigenous wheat. Wild hops are plentiful In the bottoms, as are the wild fox-grape. Both the latter could bo cultivated here to great advantage.— To mo tho most wonderful plant of this section is tho bush convolmdm, or morn ing-glory. It is now in full bloom, and wherever seen it reminds one of civiliza tion, The root is bulbous, and of. great size. I measured one six feet one inch in length and thirty inches in ciroumferonoe at the thickest part. It weighed seventy three pounds. FARMING. At Mr. Branaman’s I saw a field of one thousand acres,. the greater part under corn. Though so close to the mountains, tho farmers have to Irrigate, and they are paid for it in crops of from thirty to fifty bushels of shelled corn to the acre, which sells at an average of three cents per pound on the farm. Wheat of a line quality is grown along the Upper Arkan sas and Huarfano. Unfortunately tho grasshoppers have injured itseverely this year. Mexican beans and Irish potatoes are cultivated, but like" most of tho early settlors, tlie farmers pay but little atten tion to the cultivation of vegetables. The cattle of this region are of a much flnor breed than the long-horned Texas stock, and they sell for more here by thirty per cent, than cattle brought from tho Gulf. For tho last sixty miles of our route we were never out of sight of sleek herds of cattle. The ranches have an abundance of fine milk and butter. The tendency of tlie settlers is to stock raising, than which I know of no labor moro profita ble. THE FARMER. We are now out of tho buffalo range, still the iittlo prairie dog that barked us a welcome in Central Kansas Is to be met with. I have seen their little villages on elevated ridges, where it would seem im possible for a drop of moisture to bo found, and sitting on the hillocks tho dull sentinel owls. These birds live with the prairie dogs. But when a rattlesnake makes the village a visit, he Is an unwel come guest. The popular belief is that the bird, reptile, and animal live to gether harmoniously. I have searched in vain for rattlesnakes in tho dog towns, and am inclined to believe the story a mistake. la the dense growth of artemisia , ear cobalts, and eoap-weed {yucca) long-eared rabbits, resembling the English hare, abound, and make very fin© sport where there is a chance to give them a run with dogs. The cayote and gray wolf are plentiful, and large herds of antelope are to be seen every day. The antelope is timid, and very swift; no horse can run them down in this rough country, so that they aro only, killed by still-shooting, or “ flagging.” A man dismounts, and waves a flag of some bright color; the animals curiosity is excited, and it gal lops in circles, coming nearer each time, and often stopping to look at-the flag; when the hunter judges it near enough, he fires, and generally with effect. Ori oles, curlews, plover, and snipe are found near the river, and large flocks of black birds are to be met with on every hand. I have not seen a prairie chicken on the whole route. Occasionally wild aquatic fowl can bo seen in the river, but they are timid, and I take it would prefer a quieter stream than the Arkansas, THE RAILROAD. I have conversed with men coming from the mountain region, and well.able to give an opinion on the country from which they come. Every man J have tpoken with has assured me that it will be impossible to run a line through the snow range. They say that Qen. Wright is on the proper road,.and the only one that can be successfully located. Mr. Miller's expedition will, however, solve the difficulty of the mountain passes, and throw much lighten the topography of that region. Major Calhoun’s trip to the' headwaters of the Colorado may be use-, ful in the same way. , An 6. [Pram the JSlk Pun (Vo.) Oatette. A, ncmarkablo Frof. On this subject Mr. Yager, living near Mitchell’s Station, in Culpepper county, relates some very curious facts about a remarkable frog. 14 Concerning this frog” says ho, “ it has lived many years with us and is a great favorite, and the great est curiosity is its becoming so remarka bly tame. It had frequented our door steps before our hall door some years be fore my acquaintance commenced with it. My father had admired it for years on account of Its size and' color, and ho visited it every evening, when It would come forth at nfs summons and by con stant feeding, brought It to bo so tame it would come to the candle' and look up as If expecting to be taken -up and brought to the table and fbd on Insects of all sorts. On presenting living insects it Axes its eyes intentiy and remains motionless for awhile as if preparing fora strike, which Is an instantaneous throwing of its tongue to a great distance,- upon which the Insect. sticks fast to the tip by glutenous matter. I can’t say how long my father had been acquainted with it; from my earliest re collection he 'spoke of it os “ Old Tota,” “ the old frog,” I have known it for a great number of years. I can answer for fty-seven years. It makes its appear-' ance (always a welcome visitor) with Warm weather and remains with us till fall, appearing morning and evening to our great amusement, having been train- / ed to do many things, such as leaping,, turning somersaults, 'holding alternately by its feet and bands to a small rope, swinging and whirling after the manner of a slack-rope performer, marchiugereot, on its hind legs, and at toe word of com mand going through the manual exer cise. It seems perfectly good uatured, and never shows temper. liqt is (Jreqdful ly afraid of a oat, on whose approach it will often leap four feet from on. the floor, with the utmost precision, plump into the mouth of a large stone water pitcher, and thus secure a safe retreat. Yet ho is in no wise alarmed or disturbed by the. presence of dogs, of which wo have many about the promises. They seem to regard him as one of the household and a "priv ileged character.” The Hon. Judge Tay lor, who will attest tho above statement made by Mr. Yager, in speaking of the age of th Is frog, remarked: “It ia.cer tai n ly one hundred years old, and though be iW flqye been hero before the Indians left the country, he may be oven now but in his Infancy. A Scotchman's View'-op Adam.—, There must have been some curiousspec iraens of Scottish humor brought out at the examlnationsor catechlslnga by min ister of the flock before the administra tion of the communion. Thu?, with ref erence to human nature before the full, a man asked, “What kind of man was Adam?*' “On juat like ithor folk.” The minister insisted on having & more spec ial description of the first man, and press ed for more explanation, “Weel," said the catechumen, “ho was just like Joe Simpson, the horse-oouper.” “ How so ?”. asked the minister. “ Weel, ncobddy got onything by him, and mony. lost.” BSF* Josh Billings says: The best cure I kno of for tlte boots, fs small foot. I ’ ' IWlkaL THE BEWITCHED TERRIER. hr ORPHEUS C. KERR. Sam Johnson wa3 a culled mam Who lived down by the sea; Ro owned a rat lan terrier That stood ’bout one foot three; And tho way that creature chewed up rats Was gorgUs for to see. Ouo day tho dog was slumberin' Behind tho kitchen stove, When suddenly a wicked flea— A ugly little cove— Commenced upon his faithful back With many Jumps to rove. Then up arose that terrier, With frenay lu his eye, And waitin' only long enough To make a touohln' cry. Commenced to twist hisself around Most wonderfully spry. But all In vain, his shape was such— So awful short and fat— That though ho doubled up hisself, And strained hisself at that, His mouth was half an inch away From where the varmint sat. Tho dorg sat up an awful howl, And twisted like an eol, Emitting criSs of misery At every nip he’d feel, And tumblin’ down and Jumpin’ up, And turnin’ like a wheel; But still that most owdnclous floa Kept up a constant chaw, ■»; Just whore he couldn’t bo scratched out By any reach of paw, And always half an Inch beyond Ills victim’s snappln’Jaw. Bam Johnson heard the noise, and cam© To save his aulmllo; But when ho seen tho crltlor spin— A barkin’ all tho while, . He dreaded hldoriforbla - And then began to rile. • ’* Tho pup is mad enough," says lie, And lugglu’ In hts axe, Ho gave the rechid terrier A pair of awful cracks, That stretched him out upon the floor As dead as carpet tacks.

Beware, or you may die’, because - You can’t make both ondsmeet. 3: Winnow, WIVES OUT OF TOWN-nVSnANDS AT none. “ I would like to know,” said the youngest married lady, with the least bit of a toss of the head, “ what would be come of my husband if It were not for me? I went to the country for a week, husband taking meals at a hotel du ring my absence. When I returned I hardly recognized my own home. The parlor was swarming with flies, and my nice carpet, white ground, with loveloy bouquets of roses, you know, was abso lutely ruined. Stumps of segars, chess men and cake orumbs were scattered around. All the spittoons were filthy to a degree, and somebody had been there who did not know their use, I sadly dis covered. In the bay window were a lot of broken bottles and a cork screw.- " What is the meaning of this ?” I asked Charley, who sat composedly reading the morning papers. “ Oh! didn’t I tell you, I had the olub to meet here while you were gone?— Thought it would save you a bother, and we had some of your blackberry wine.” Note.—People don’t knock the necks off bottled home-made wine. I found out afterward that Charley had been to the cellar plundering around, and in tasting my currant wine (made this sum mer,) he had left the spigot turned so that Instead of racking off it all leaked out. Now, I had come from my short visit doubly armed with tenderness for my husband, of my home, and it would not do for me to show any impatience the first thing, so .1 proceeded to my room, and there was confusion worse confound ed. My beautiful lace curtains that I had done up myself, pinning down ev ery point, wore twisted as tight as a rope, and tied in a hard knot. Every drawer and press was opened wide, and all of Charley’s clothes wore lying around loose. What puzzled mo the moat was to see my cedar chest turned upside down, and my Saratoga trunk stretched open, with trays piled outside, like a toppled oobhouse. I went to the bureau to untie my bonnet, and there was tho boot-jack, lemon-squeezer and punch bowl, a pair of pants were thrown over the looking-glass, and a bottle of hair oil broken; the oil had soaked into the mar* ble top and run down the side of tho bureau upon the carpet, and upon a queer-shaped article that seemed to bo a stocking, but looked os plump almost as if it had “ something in it.” My curi osity was excited, and, after satisfying myself that it was not allye, 1 picked it up, and what do you thing it was but one of my wedding atooklugs. I put my band in and drew out, one by one,stock ing tops of different lengths, British hose, lamb’s wool and clock, a dozen, and all marked in sister’s delicate.hand, with maiden name—“ Lucy Sprlggons.” This was too much, and I called for Char ley to como up. “What’s, the matter, dear?” ho an swered In his honey-moon voice, taking three steps at a time until he reached the landing where I stood, the footless stock ing in my hand. “ What does this mean ?” X asked in as steady-a voice as I. could, for I had a weakness about those stockings, and I had put them away la flno paper, think ing to keep them as long ns wo lived, and I felt my faco burning. “ Why, pan’tyou tell?” said Charley, and bo laughed uneasily, and, as I only looked at him, be varied the question,— “Don’t know?” “ How should I ?” I replied. ’‘You astonish mo! well, you know our private theatricals (I had uever taken part In them, and was only invited to be long to them because they wanted Char ley. who was so handsome and handy ;) T didn’t expect to tqke part in fast performance, but the Borneo was sick, and I couldn’t well refuse. Now, you know,” he insisted, “Nothing,” I answered. “Well, of course, os Romeo, I had to wear tights, and you do know that I am thin, and X knew that you wouldn’t like to hoar me called slim legs, and so I went to BUey about it, and ho was so kind as to come over, and we hunted up your old (!) stockings, and together wo made up the handsomest set of calves! You’d better bellevo it. They would have been a fortune to any one on the stage. Frank said so.” “ But I cannot understand how the trunks, and presses should be open,” I continued. “Oh! there were other things needed, and on looking them up, X found an pld joaey that fitted me to a T, and wore your cloak, and used some dirty lace that I came across among your scraps. They are nil tied up in the piano cover some where, I wish you’d been hero to have helped me out, but the girls said I looked splendid.

Little brother asked me if you would care if he would take the cheats, and I told him of course not, and perhaps they were not enough. It was too funny. Tom wouldn’t let the Jones’ boys Into the show, and they stoned the wood-shed with sticks and stones, and made such an. uproar that the police in- terfered and broke It ud. I didn’t know when I’v laughed so. You wouja bnve , enjoyed Jt.” ! I was not sure of it, but I said nothing. ' By this time I had taken oft my travel ing suit, and was looking around in vain for my new wrapper. “ Where is my wrapper?” I said to myself moro than to Charley, but he took it up. “I gave away one of your old dresses, while you were gone, to a very deserving person that came before our society for aid.” I rather pride myself upon my hus band taking, a prominent part In the Young Men’s Christian Association, but this Is a little too much, and I fancy Charley thought so too,, for ho started off* suddenly, saying, “I must goto busi ness now. I shan’t bo home to dinner, pet, and I hope you will lie do\vu and take a good rest. It was my very best print that ho had given away, but I hadn’t the conscience to scold about it; for, to tell you a secret that I never told him, when we were first married a china and gloss vinder came along, and I traded off Charley’s finest suit for a broken cologne bottle, an inkstand and two vases of Bohemian glass. Sunday he couldn’t find his clothes, and he believes to this day that they were stolen. He has often wonder ed why the thief took nothing else. But I must tell you about that bundle he re ferred to —that was the finishing stroke. In it was my peplum basque, with the sleeves diamond slashed, and gilt paper nil around it, and drops of glue all over it, and my sweet illusion waist was in side, \vhat there was left of it. There, too, was my sot of heavy curls brushed out maniac style, and covered with powder and carmine; my point lace torn to shreds; my velvet cloak in a wad, and the inflated fellow to my wedding stockings! And my husband a church member and a Christian Asso ciation man. Tt was more than I could bear. I could have cried, but that would do no good. As for taking Charley to task, he was the best husband in the world, and if be had been the’worst there was no language that would do justice to the occasion, so I did the best I could under, the circumstances' I set about putting things to rights. - The first steps neccessary seemed to bo clearing away the rubbish, and I began tossing the dir ty clothes in aheap,and positively before I got through it was as high as my head. I couldn’t see over it. All my sheets, towels, and pillow cases, ten shirts, (no wonder Charley wanted some new ones,) and other things too numerous to mention.

A Darkey Jury.—A friend of ours vouches for the truth of tho following: At a recent session of one of tho courts In South Carolina, an entire colored Jury was empanelled. A case was brought be fore them—the witnesses examined, and the attorneys made their respective ar guments. The Judge, after laying down the law, and recapitulating tho testimo ny. gave the papers into the hands of the Foreman—an intelligent looking darkey —with instructions that, as soon as they found a verdict, to bring it in without delay. Thirty minutes or more elapsed, when th© Jury returned, headed by the Fore man, and stood before the Judge. As the Foreman appeared to hesitate, and io wear a disappointed look, the Judge asked— Mr. Foreman, have you found a ver dict? “No, Massa Judge, we habon’t found ’em,” replied tho ebony juryman. “It’s a very plain (jase,” said the Jxitfge. “ Can’t help it, maasa, couldn’t “ On what grounds?” “ We didn’t look into degrounds, Mas sa Judge,” replied the Foreman ; “ deos slfer didn't take us out into do grounds, but he took us into a room, and locked us in, nud tole us when wo found de verdict, he wud leff us out.

On Monday, the 4th inst., in the Su «premo Court, now in session in this city, 'a most important decision was rendered, relating to negroes forcing themselves in the company of white people in railroad -curs, prior to the passage of the Act of Assembly of March last, granting them that privilege. The case in which the •question originated was thatofa negro wo man, who had taken a seat in one of the cars of the Philadelphia and Westchester Pailway set apart for white people, and upon the conductor requesting her to take a position elsewhere, allotted to negroes, she refused, remarking she had a right to sit where she pleased, whereupon she was removed ami soon after brought suit for damages, alleged to have been sustained by being compelled to occupy a different seaL She obtained a verdict in the lower court, but the defendants appealed, and the case was fully argued before the Su : premo Court in Philadelphia, which an nounced its decision on Monday, revers ing the judgment of the court below, and ordering a new trial. A similar case, bro’t subsequent to .the act of March last, would, in all probability, bo decided dif- j ferently, ns the Radical Legislature then gave negroes the right.(?)--but the opin ion given below shows what a Radical Judge thinks present law.

Eastern District, Error to Common Picas of Philadelphia Co. Agnew J. It is admitted that no one can bo excluded from carriages by a pub lic carrier on account of color, religions bo 'lef, policlcal relations, or prejudice. But he defendants asked thoCourttosay that the. Jury Relieved that the sent whie! the plaintiff was directed to take, was in all respects a comfortable, safe and con venient scat, not inferior In any of these respects to the one she was directed to leave, she could not recover. The case, therefore, involves no assertion of,the in feriority of the negro to the .white passen ger ; but conceding his right to be carried precisely on the same footing with a white man, it appears to bo hot unreason able to assign places in the cars to passen gers of each color. The simple question Is, whether a public currier may, in the' exercise of his private right of property, and in due performance of his public duty, separate passengers by any other well de fined characteristic than that of sex. The ladies’car is known upon every well regu lated railroad, implies uo equal cost of right on the part of the excluded sex, and its propriety is doubted by none. This question must be decided upon rea sonable grounds. If there be no clear and reasonable difference to base it upon, separation cannot bo justified by mere prejudice. Nor is merit a test. The ne gro may bo proud of his service in the held as a defender of his country, liut it was not thought indefensible to separate 'even white soldiers from other passengers. There is a clear and well founded differ- once between the civil and military char acter, and the separation of soldiers from citizens implied no want of inequality, but a sound regulation of the right of transit. The right of the carrier to seperate hia passengers Is founded upon two grounds— his rightof seperate property in the moans of conveyance and in the public interest. The private means he uses belong wholly to himself, and implies the right of con trol for the protection of his own interest, as well as the performance of his public duty. Ho mijy use his property, there fore, in a reasonable manner. It is not an unreasonable regulation to seat passen gers so as to preserve order and decorum, and to prevent contacts and collisions, ar ising from natural orwell known custom ary repugnances, which are likely to breed disturbances by a promiscuous sit ting. This is a proper uso’oftiie right of private property, because it tends to pro tect the interest of the carrier, ns well as the interests of those he carries. If the ground of regulation be reasonable, courts of justice cannot interfere with his right of property. The right of the passenger is only that of being carried safely, and with a due regard to his personal comfort and convenience, which are promoted by I a sound and well regulated separation of \ passengers. An analogy and an illustra tion are found in the case of nn inn-keep i er, who, if he have room, is bound to en tertain proper guests; and so a carrier is bound to receive passengers. But aguest in an inn cannot select his room or his bed at pleasure ; nor can a voyager take pos session of a cabin or berth at will, or re fuse to obey the reasonable orders of the captain of the vessel. But on the other hand, who would maintain- that it is a reasonable regulation, either of an inn or a vessel, to compel the passengers, black or white, to room or bod together V If a right of private property confers no right of control, who should decide a contest between passengers for seats or bertha? Courts of justice might interfere to com pel those who perform a business con cerning tbe public, by the use of private means, to fulfill their duty to the public ; but not a whit beyond. The public also has an interest in the proper regulation of public conveyance, for the preservation of the public peace. A railroad company has the right and is bound to make reasonable regulations to preserve order in theh ears. It Is the duty of the conductor to repress tumults ns far I ns ho reasonably cau. nnd he may on ex traordinary occasions, stop his train and eject the unruly ami tumultuous. But h ‘ .e has not the authority of a peace olHccr ,o arrest and detain oflenders. He Can not interfere in the quarrels of others at \vllS merely. In order to preserve ami enforce his authority as thesorvantof the company, it must have a power to estab lish proper regulations for the carriage of passengers. It is much ertaier to prevent diiTlcultics among passengers by regula tions for their proper separation than it is to quell them. The danger to the peace engendered by the feeling of aver sion between Individuals of the dillerent races,.cannot he denied. It is the fact which the company must deal. If a ne gro takes his seat beside a white man, or his wife, or daughter, the law cannot re press the anger or conquer the aversion which some will feel. However unwise may bo to engender the feeling, human infirmity ia not always proof against it. It is much wiser to avert the consequence ..of this repulsion of race by separation, than to punish afterward the breach of peace it may have caused. These views are sustained by high authority. Judge Story, in bis Law Bailments, stating the duty of passengers “ to submit to such reasonable regulations as the proprietors may adopt far the convenience and com fort of passengers as woll'as for their own proper interests,” says, “ the importance of the roetrlnc is feit more strikingly in eases of steamboats and rail road cars.” S. a \ m*o also, S. 470 «. Angel on Claims, "iJS : 1 American Railway Cases, 803,- Tho right to separate being clear in proper cases, and it being tiie subject of sound regulation, the question remaining to bo considered is, whether there is sucu a difference between the white and black races within this State, resulting from na ture, law and custom, as makes it a rea sonable ground of separation. The ques tion is one of difference, not of superiori ty or inferiority, Why the Creator made Bates for advektjhembnto will be inserted At Ton bnu per line for. the arst Insertion, and flvo cents per line for each subsequent Insertion.

Cards, llandbixis, Circulars, and every *th cr description or Jon and tod in the neatest stylo, at low prices. one black and the other white, we know crajiiSaU'j, o /^. l . ski*; following the peculiar law of its constitu tion. Conceding equality, with natures as perfect and rights as sacred, yet God has made them dissimilar, with those natural instincts and feelings whltoh Ho always imparts to His creatures when Ho intends that they shall nob overstep the natural bouudaries He has assigned to them. The natural law which forbids their intermarriage, and that of social amalgamation which leads to a corruption of races, is os clearly Divine ns that which imparted to them different natures. — The tendency of intimate social inter course is to amalgamation contrary to the lawofraces. The separation of the white and black races upon the surface of the globe is a fact equally apparent. Why this is so, it is not necessary to speculate, but the fact of a distribution of men by race and color is as visible in the provi dential arrangement of the earth os that of heat and cold. The natural separation of the races is therefore an undeniable fact, and all social organizations which lead to their amalgamation are repugnant to the law of nature. From social amalgama tion it is but a step to illicit intercourse, and but another to intermarriage. But to assert separateness is not to declare in feriority in either—it is not to declare one a slave ana the other a freeman ; that would be to draw the illogical sequence of inferiority from difference only. It is simply to say that following the order of Divine Providence, human authority ought not to compel these widely sepanv ted races to intermix. The right of such to bo fre.o from social contact Is as clear as to be free from intermarriage. The former may bo less repulsive as a condi tion, but not less entitled to protection ns a right. When, therefore, we declare a right to maintain separate relations, ns far as reasonably practicable, but iq q spirit of kindness and charity, and with due regard to equality of rights, it Is not prejudice, nor caste, nor injustice of any kind, but simply to suffer men to follow the law of races, established by the Crea tor himself, and not to compel them to intermix contrary to their interests. Nor can we disregard the laws and cus toms of the State. Indeed, these must be our guide, leaving it .to the Legislature to correct the errors of the law, or its de parture from that justice which should ever be its foundation. It is unnecessary to recur to the original /condition of ne groes ns slaves in Pennsylvania, bj* V) trace the legislation of the provinces dis tinguishing them from frecnien. Nor need we, for the purpose of defining the status of the negro, refer to that great law of emancipation in 1780, whose preamble, the moat beautiful ami expressive prefixed to a human statute, only pra fessed to extend to the black race a •' por tion” of our own freedom, Wc have a later and an authoritative guide, the sol emn decision of this Court, in 1837, in the case of Hobbs vs. Fogg„6 Watts, 553. Tiie opinion comes from the pen of the lute 0. J. Gibson, and bears the imprint of his remarkable intellect. It is there shown from the laws, constitutions and customs of the State, .and from a former decision of the High Court of Errors and Appeals, that the status of the negro nev er 101 l vVithin the term “ freemen" in the several constitutions; and that the eman cipation act of 1780 did not elevate him to the citizenship of the State, And in 1838 the people of this Common wealth, by an express amendment of their Constitution, drew tiie lino distinctly between the white citizens and black inhabitants of tho State. It is clear, therefore, that un der the constitution and laws, the white and black races stand lu a separate rela tion to each other. We flntf the same difference in the institutions and customs of the State. Never has there been an Intermixture of the two races, socially, religiously, civilly, or politically. By uninterrupted usage the blacks live apart, visit and entertain among themselves, occupy .separate places of public worship and amusement, and fill no civil or po litical stations, not even sitting to decide their own causes. In fact, there fg not an institution of the State In which they have mingled indiscriminately with the whites. Even the common school law provides for separate schools when their numbers are adequate. In the military service, also, they were not intermixed with the white soldiers, but were separa ted into companies and regiments of col or, and this not by way of disparagement, but from motives of wisdom and pnr dence, to'avoid the* antagonisms of vari ant and umnixible races. Law and cus tom having sanctioned a separation of ra ces, it is not theprovinceor thojudlciary to legislate it away, VVe cannot say there was no difference In fact, when tuo law and the voice of the people said there was. The laws of the state are found in its constitution, statutes, institutions and general customs. It is to these sources Judges must resort to discover them. If they abandon these guides, they pro nounce their own opinions, not the laws of those whoso officers they are. Follow ing these guides, wo arc compelled to de clare that at the time of the alleged inju ry there was that natural, legal and cus tomary difference between the white and black races in this State which made their separation as passengers in a public conveyance the subject of sound regula tion, to secure order, promote comfort, preserve the peace, and maintain the rights both of carriers and passengers.— The defendants wore therefore entitled to an affirmative answer to the potpt recited at the beginning of this opinion. It only remains to add that this cause arose before the passage of the act of 22d March, 188 T, declaring It an offense for railroad companies to.make any distinc tion between. passengers on account of race or color, and our decision pronounces the law only as it stood when the case arose, leaving the act tooperate upon such cases as shall fall within its provisions.— Indeed, the act itself is an indication of the legislative understanding of how the law stood before. .
