IKTEBESTING dCEKA ON A RAILROAD
somewhat amusing incident occurred on
Saturday morning on the front platform of a.pas
senger railroad car, at the corner of Third and Book
streets. It was a hind of enjoyment to the listening
spectators.
A genteelly-dressed man, two ladies, and a trunk,
were on the curb-stone awaiting the passing of a
car, presently the right oar came along. On the
front platform, besides the driver, were a colored
man and three colored women. The man belonged
to the United States Colored Tioops; he wore the
uniform, and was on nia way to camp. He was
pleasant in speech. His langu-ge evidently showed
that he possessed some eoueauon. In fact, from all
actions, he might be {tailed a colored gentleman*
The white man beckoned to the conductor to
stop. He assisted the two ladies into the car.
When about to put the trunk un the conductor said
“that must go on the front platform.” *
The man went to tne iront, but found it occupied,
as aforesaid. • _
“Make room,” said he, “ for my trunk.”
“Make room!” responded the colored soldier;
“why there is no room Here!”
“ Well, my trunk must go on there; so you’ll
have to get off,” retorted the man in rather an un
pleasant style. „
“ Aie you not aware, sir,” replied the son of Mars,
that we nave paid our money to ride here? This is
the only place upon which our race are allowed to
ride; nrt must these colored ladies be pushed off to
make room for your trunk, notwithstanding their
passage Is already pale!" .. ..
“X don't know anyimog about that,” said the
man with the trunk, wlo »no wed far less politeness
than toe colored soldier whom he was addressing,
“I must put my trunk on.”
The colored soldier appealed to the driver, and he
in turn referred to the conductor. The latter came,
and toe question be Inc stated, he decided there was
no room for the tiuLk on toe front platform ; that
place had already been pui chased for the trip by the
passengers who occupied it. He had forgotten this
at toe moment he told toe man to take toe trunk to
the front platform* There was no time to be lost;
other ears were waiting. The two white ladies got
out of toe car, and, with the man and the trunk, re
sumed position on the sidewalk.
The passenger railroad companies could very well
settle this distinction that seems to be made in re
gard to the colored race riding on the cars, and this,
too. Without exciting the prejudice* of an; person,
white or black. One ouc of every three can on all
toe roads might have the following in large letters
thereon, “Colored persons may ride la-this car.”
This arrangement will have to be made, and It might
as well be done now as at any other time.
Death of Mr. Geo. A. Coffey.—Mr.
George A. Coffey, the U. >. District Attorney, died
at his residence on Nieto street, j;ear Walnut, at
about one o’clock on Saturday, from an attack of
paralysis. Mr. Coffey received a stroke of palsy
many months sinee, from which he never fully re*
covered the use of his limbs. He wasable, however,
to attend Ids official cuuea. Ourlng the last eight
ortenyeaTs he received a large share of public At
tention. In the political campaign of 1856 he was
the principal editor of tbe Morning Times, a paper
that ably supported John C. Fremont as a candidate
for the Presidency. At a later period he was the
editor of the Su7iday Transcript. He lived In affairs
cf State far beyond the age iu which he so actively
moved, but he lived loi g enough to see thfc dawn of
enlightenment bursting in triumph upon the dark
long night of slavery* As a writer he was forcible,
pleasing, and dignified. He possessed oratorical
powers, and was continually on the “ stump” for Lin
coln^Hamlin and Curtin, during the campaign oflB6o.
Though palsied, he made a tour of the northern
counties of Pennsylvania ia the recent State eam
£aign, and assisted in the triumph of Gov. Curtin.
t may be said that his death was looked for at
almost any moment sii<ce the time he received the
first paralytic strike, and thus ia some measure the
blow of affliction does not seem to fall so heavily.
He possessed a genial hearc; in his social relations
was always a perfect gedleman, Mid as a lawyer He
had but few equals in his active time of life. His
fonei al will take place on Tuesday next. To pro
ceed to iisurei HiE.
Attleborough Railroad Company.—
We see by the Bucks county papers that the Attle
borough Railroad Comply has recently organized,
electing George H. Tan Z&at, E*q., of this city, pre
sident 5 Jesse Comfort, of Attleborough, treasurer;
and Samuel Lovett, M D.. of the same place, seore
taty. The road is to run from Philadelphia to New
town, la Busks county, a distance of Rom twenty to
twenty five miles. It will supply the means by
which those living at the termini, as well as along
the route, can communicate with each o-her, ana
tend to develop one of the finest and most fruitfal
sections of our State. As it will cross the Neshi
mony and Edge Hill, at a point two hundred and
forty feet above the level of the sea, It is probable
that in a lew years the fruitful farms lying in. that
vicinity will be adorned by the beautiful villas of
wealthy merchants of this city, who will fix upon
that delightful and healthy section as a place of sum
mer resort. From the energetic character of the
cflcen, it is probable that before the warm weather
of the coming summer shall have passed away the
greater portion of the road will be graded, much to
the gratification of the large population along the
route, who have long enougn wished for some other
meant of communicating with eaoh other than the
ordinary mail stage.
Beautiful Suite of Colors for the
7th ' Penksylvamia. Oavalby.—The ladies of
Pottsville have just oomphmented the 7ch Regiment
Pennsylvania Cavalry with an elegant suite of
colors, consisting of a splendid standard and twelve
guidons. The standard has the United States arms
on one side, and those of Pennsylvania on the rfr
verse, surrounded by a scroll work, in which are in
scribed the names of the following battles, in which
the regiment bore a conspicuous part: Chaplin
Hills, Ky.j Lebanon, Stone River, Shelbyville,
Franklin, Nashville, Rover, Unionville, and Sparta,
Tenn., and Chickamauga, Ga. This regiment was
in numerous other engagements, and is known in
the Southwest as the “ 7th Regulars.” Upon the
staff* is a silver plate, wi»h.tne inscription, “Pre
sented by the Ladies of Pottsville ana St. Glair to
the 7th Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry.” This
stand of colon reflects great credit upontbe commit
tee of ladies having the matter in charge— Mrs. E,
Riekert and Mrs. E. F. Vernon, of Pottsville—at
also upon the firm to which the order was entrusted,
Messrs. Evans fc Hattall, military furnishers, 413
Arch street.
The Sanitary Fair.—Philadelphians
have been most liberal in their donations to the
Lancaster* county Fair. In addition to large sums
from private individuals, handsome donations have
been received from the following'persons: Prom
Stephen A. Whitman; from Hafleigh & Go., two
elegant articles in lace, valued at $80; Mr. Young,
merchant, in North Fourth street, a handsome em
broidered cloak and o'her articles; George H, Stu
art, Ejq.’s, firm, $3OO worth of dry*goods; Mr*
Glenn, a lot of perfumery; Madame Wedekind, a
handsome contribution of lampshades; Horstmann
k Brothers, two very valuable contributions, oon
listing of a sword, belt, military trappings, and a
lot of worsted work; George A. Miller & Co., a fine
donation.
We are glad to see this spirit among our citizens,
and think their efforts to assist a neighboring town
highly commendable. We hope others will take ex
ample by their liberality.
The Waeb s.—The, ward committees
should now be more active t&an ever in raising sub
scriptions, and everybody who. lives within the
peaceful atmosphere of Philadelphia ought to re
spond as liberally as he or she can. We have heard
of some instances of. persons who are exceedingly
wealthy giving bnt very little money, and others
nose at all. The plea of exause is a conscientious
opposition to volunteering, but favorable to a draft
as the proper way to recruit an army. The memo
randa on the committee books will form ample ma
terial for an attractive publication, the piooeeds of
the p» lft to be devoted to the benefit of the sick and
wounded soldiers.

eauity.
This is an application for an injunction to restrain
the respondents from prosecuting the construction
of an additional railroad traok at a certain point in
the Lehigh Valley, upon the plan proposed, along
tbe line of'complainants’ works, the allegation, oa
thepsi-tof the latter being that byio doing they
will materially obstruct and interfere with the
traffic of toe laid complainants, now carried on by
means of their canal, and to be enlarged and ex
tended, by meant of a contemplated line of railroad
Boon to be built. Complainants aver that the traok
of railroad now under constiuotionby the respond
ents* and alleged to be the third built by them, will
render, if not impossible, at least difficult and expen
cive, tbe building of the line of railroad proposed by
them. They therefore pray an injunction to restrain
respondents from infringing upon what they claim
to be their rights-
The respondents, on the other hand, deny that
they are constructing, or propose to construct, an
additional track, but mat they are merely building
sidings, which are necessary to facilitate the opera
tions of their business, and that the; are not inter
fering with any legal rights of the complainants.

CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THB LEGAL- TENDER AOT
AFFIRMED,
Henry P. Boric et al. vs. George Trott, Jr.
This oase was heard in December last upon a
case stated. It arose in an action on a mortgage, a
Stipulation in which covenants for the payment of
“the just sum of twelve thousand dollars lawful
silver money of the United States of America, in
one year from the date thereof, with interest half
yearly, on toe 6th days of February and August, in
like money,”
Upon the second of April, 1863, amt before the is
suing of a writ of scire facias in the ease, the de
fendant offered in pavment of the mortgage twelve
thousand dollars is United States notes, made a le- i
gal-tender by the act of Congress of February 25th. '
1662, for all debts, &0., and at the same time tendered
tbe interest due, &e., which plaintiff refused to re
ceive. Upon an agreed case, the matter was then
submitted to the oourt, before whom the questions
raised were argued at length by counsel on both
sides, in December. On Saturday opinions were
read by Judges Stroud and Hare, affirming the con
stitutionality of the act of February 25, 1382, and
deciding that the notes ot the United States, ten
dered b y defendant to plaintiffs, were a legal-sen
der, and should have been received in payment of
tbe mortgage. Judge Shartwood delivered a dba*
tenting opinion.
All of the opinions were at great length, and dis

A GROUND SENT NOT A DBBT WITHIN THB XBANING
OF THB LEGAL-TBNDRB AOT.
In a cate argued before Judges Allison and Dud*
low. some time ago, in whioh was raised the ques
tion as to the right or the holder of ground
upon which there are ground-rent charges to
pay off the same in United States legal-tender notes,
they being payable in “lawful silver money,” Ac.,
Judge Allison, on Saturday, delivered the following
opinion, all thejudges concurring in the views therein
expressed:
In the Matter of the Petition of Robert Patterson, praym
irig for an Order on James Henry Blight et of., Trus
tees, $•«,, for the Extinguishment of certain Ground
Rente.
Allison, J.—The petitioner, Robert Patterson,
being the owner of two separate lots of ground,
each of which is subject to the payment of an an
nual ground rent, tendered to the respondents, who.
as trustees, are the owners of the rents reserved out
of said lots of ground, payment of the principal
thereof, and he prays that the respondents maybe
required to make conveyance of the same to him)
so that they shall merge and be forever extinguished.
The tender was made in the paper currency of the
United States, issued under the authority of the act
of Congress of the llth of July, 1862, which cur
rency, by the terms of said aot, is made a legal tender
for all debts, public aEd private, except duties on
imports and interest on toe public debt.
The rents in question were, by the covenants con
tained in the deedsby which they wete created, made
extinguishable, on the payment to the grantor, his
heirs, and assigns, of a specified number of dollars,
lawful silver money of the United States, “ the pre
sent legal standard, fineness, and weight.” The prin
cipal oi these rents amounts to the sum of $25,000.
Upon this state of facts, it was supposed by the
counsel who argued the case before us that the chief
question raised by the petition and answer was the
constitutionality of toe aot of July llth. 1862, involv
ing, necessarily, the lawfulness and sufficiency of the
tei der of the paper currency referred to, in extin
guishment of said ground rent. It was, however,
made a point in the argument, that the act of July
Utb, 1862, was not applicable to ground recti, and as
this, In its natural order, is not only the first question
proper to be considered, but, in our opinion, is con
clusive of this application, we shall briefly state our
views upon it.
The solution of whatever of difficulty miy exist
in this matter will be found to consist In toe true
and legal answer to the question, Is a ground rent a
debt ? for it is necessary to keep in remembrance the
fact, that the legal-tender clause of the aot of July
Utb, 1662, makes the paper money issued under the
authority of said act a legal tender for debts and for
nothing else.
A debt, in its general signification, means that
which is due from, one person to another; that whioh
one person is bound to pay or perform to another.
When used with reference to money, the term im-
Elies that a sum of money 1b due, either in prasenti or
yjviuro , which the creditor has the right to demand,
and which the debtor is required to pay; inoident to
this relation of debtor and creditor, in default of
payment, is toe right of the creditor to sue, to ob
tain judgment, and to colleot the debt by legal pro
cess.
In what reipeot is a ground rent to be likened to a
debt ? It is not due to any person, there being no
contract, either express or implied, on the part of the
grantee of the land, to pay at any time, present or
future, the principal of the rent, and, as a conse
quence, it cannot be legally demanded, sued for, or
recovered.
By the covenants of the deed by which the rent is
sreated, it may or may not be redeemable; when
irredeemable, it cannot be extinguished by purchase,
unlew by agreement between the owner of the land
and the owner of the rent. When redeemable, the
privilege is reserved to the owner of the land to pay
the principal of the rent to the grantor of the
ground, that It may thereafter be relieved from the
service, subject to which it was conveyed to him.
But this privilege c&rriei with it no corresponding
right on the part of the owner of the rent to demand
or enforce payment of the principal sum, which pay*
ment, voluntarily made by the grantee of the land,
entitles him to have the rent extinguished. The
right of the grantor of the land is limited and re
stricted to a demand for and oolleotion of the arrears,
'as they become due from time to time. As to this
his remedy is ample, and the accruing arrears, when
due, become of themselves a debt, made so by the
contract of the parties, which may be eollested by
distress; or by suit, in the same way as any other
debt or chose in action may be sued for and re
covered.
Every one of these essential elements of a debt
will he found wanting, when the covenants of the
deed relating to the principal of the rent are ex
amined* There is no contract or obligation to pay
the principal sum, and, consequently, no *right to
demand, and no power to enforce payment.* There
is a right reserved to the grantee of the land, upon
payment of a specified sum of money to his grantor,
to purchase to himself the grantor’s estate in the
rent—this is all; but, as previously stated, there is
no obligation to purchase it, and no power to exact it,
The conclusion from -these premises is, that a
ground rent is not a debt, and this is naturally fol
lowed by the question, if not a debt, what is it?
The answer, we think, la well settled In the law,
and rests upon established elementary principles,
and repeated judgments of our own Supreme Court!
unreversed, and not even questioned—a series of
decisions, uniform and consistent, whioh establish
beyondquestion the character and quality or a Penn-
Slvania ground rent. It is an inheritable fee
nple estate. It is reality, and is so treated and
regarded by our law; and as such its status is dearly
denned. It does not go to the administrator of an
intestate decedent, but Is inherited by the heir to
whom it descends, and who takes it in the same
way in which he takes houses and lands of the an
cestor under whom he claims. If it was a debt, It
would, as a legal consequence, pass into the hands
of the administrator or exeoutor, and would reaoh
the heir only through the process of administration.
This, of itself, if there was no other reason, would
be conclusive against assumption that a ground rent
Isa debt.
Aground rent, by that designation, is unknown
to the English law; there were three kinds of rent
familiar to the law of England, prior to the passage
of the statute.of guai emptores A rent service, as
where a tenant held land of his lord by fealty and
certain rent, or by other service and certain rent,
with the right of distress, where default was made
by the tenant. A rent charge was created by one
who, by deed granted to another out of lands of
whioh he stood, seized a yearly rent with a clause of
distress $ and where the olause of distress was omit
ted it became a rent-see*.
Xu the learned opinion by Kennedy, Justice, in
Ingersoll vs. Sergeant, 1 Wharton, 3*7, ft was for
the first time established that a ground rent in
Pennsylvania Is a rent service, and not a rent
ebarge, as had previously been supposed, or as it
had been usual to designate it when referred to
by the judges of the Supreme Court. And it wiU
be seen at a glanoe that our ground rent answers
to the definition of a rent service shorn of its feudal
characteristics of fealty or homage fealty, which,
even in England, passed away with the extinction
of that system of which they were a part, and out of
which they sprang. By the statute quai emptores (18
Edw. 1, Stat. 1, chap. 1) a rent service is converted
into a rent charge, but this statute not being in force
In Pennsylvania, the common law distinction still
prevails with us as to the specialities of a rent ser
vice and a rent charge, and the law with u« remains
unchanged, and stands just as it stood in the days of
Littleton, when he expounded the law of England
upon the subject of rents as they then existed.
The principle ruled in Ingersoll vs. Sergeant is
also referred to in Franciieus vs. Reigert, 4 Watts,
98, and In Kenge vs. Elliott, 9 Watts, 262. Sergeant,
Justice, says: A ground rent, reserved upon a con
veyance in fee in Pennsylvania, is a rent service ,
* -*% Bossier vs. Kuhn, 8 W. & S., 189, Gibson, O. J.,
■avs* Our ground rent is an ordinary rent service,
of the realty, and has no touch of per
sonri «■ complexion; he further
aayi a rent « not a debt > it is a security for the
performance oi * collateral act; the annuM pay
ments spring info existence, and for the first time
become debts when they are demandable; for while
they are growing due, the landlord has no property
in anything disffnet from the corpus of the rent, or
the realty of which they are the produce: and the
fmti mnat be severed from the tree which bears it
before it can become personal property and a chose
in action. *

charge of the larceny of a piece of oalioo found in
her possession, and whioh was Identified as having
been stolen.
Ninety Days.
John Mills, a oolored man, was committed for
ninety days, on toe charge of picking the pocket, or
attempting to do so, or a woman at Second and
South streets. He was arrested in the act of plying
bis profession. Sometime since the same fellow
was arrested in the upper part of the pity for at
tempting to pick pockets, but was acquitted in the
Court of Quarter Sessions because ot the absenoe
of the witness, who could not be found. At
that time he gave a fictitious name. To pwvent a
similar result, the magistrate wisely applied toe
ninety days law. The prisoner recently came from
Ntw Tor*, and was slightly astonished to find that
the revised penal code authorized such summary
proceedings.
Sbiameful Robbery*
William Newall was arraigned on the charge of
stealing a coat valued ats4o,theproperty of the hus
band of Jane A. Ross. The prisoner was taken into
custody by Officer Grimes, of the Harbor Polioe. The
evidence developed the fact tbat about a week since
the accused was homeless and penniless. Mrs. Ross
gave him lodging and boarding until suon time as he
might obtain work, and he repaid her kindness by
putting her husband’s coat upon bis back and walk
ing away with it. Some of the neighbors saw him
wearing the coat, since which time it has not been
seen or neard of. The accused stoutly denied the
accusation. The weight of evidence was deoidedly
against him; and probable eause being clearly
shown, the alderman made out a free paw for a van
ride to prison.
A Hotel Thief.
A pretty good-looking young man, who has-reoently
been seen standing in front of the first-class hotels,
was arraigned at toe Central Station on Saturday
by Special Detective Russell of tbe Continental. The
prisoner gave the name of J. W. Scott It seems
that he engaged boarding at tbe Continental a few
davs since, and was furnished with a room on the
second floor. A oolored Mirant, going up to the
third, atorv in answer to a bell call, observed tneae
fondaSt «?e». Nothing was said at the time. The
servant having discharged his duties, went down
stairs, and presently was summoned to the ?Qom on
the fourth floor. On going up, he observed prisoner
there also. Servant supposing that he was “after
no good,” “laid back and watched him.”
Presently he observed toe stranger go to the room
door of one of the chambermaids, and catching hold
of Ithe knob thereof, tried to open it. Now it so
happened that toe chambermaid was in the room.
She came to the door quickly, and upon opening it,
asked thexoung man,
41 What oe wanted!”
« I want to find Mr. White,” he replied*
“Well, he don’t occupy this yere room, nary
time,’’ responded the female.
” Wei), do you know where he oan be found t” in
quired toe young man, with a face as grave or seri
ous as that of a Connecticut deacon.
“ No, sir, ?ere out of your latitude up here; guess
he’s farther down stairs*
The stranger retired, and finally went to his own
room on the second,floor. The servant Informed Mr.
Russell, the detective, of all that he had seen, and
this officer arrested him and seized all his goods,
chattels. Ac. There being nothing against him by
which he could be legally held, he was permitted to
go. On Saturday he was discovered by James Bed
loe, an attache of the St. Louis Hotel, searching
around the second story of that plaoe. *
44 What do you want here 1 ” exclaimed Mr. B» ia
a tone indicative of authority.
“lam looking for room No. 65 for Mr.
“ Sir,” said Bedloe, “you’re a liar; you’re a hotel
thief.”
The fellow turned pale with fright, and as he was
about to back out, as easily as possible, Mr. Bedloe
observed a breastpin in his bosom whioh he identi
fied as his property.
He was then arrested and taken to the Central
Station*
We might state that shortly after his liberation
from toe Continental detective, Russell obtained
some evidence that the fellow was a thief, and was
on the qui vive for him. The leather travelling-bag of
the prisoner was well filled with clothing. Among the
artieles a pair of pantaloons were found, belonging
to W. S. Aikens, of Nashville, Tenn. This gentle
man boarded at the La Pierre House, and his panta
loons disappeared very mysteriously. Three bunches
of keys were found on the person of the accused.
They were just the kind for the opening of closets,
wardrobes, trunks, cheats, valises, Ac. After a pa
tient investigation of the case the accused was com
mitted In default of $2,000, We are informed that he
subsequently said, “that if he was let off he would
enlist.” Of course the “ vultures” will be after
him, and it is more than likely the army will get
smother recruit. He would make a fine-looking sol
dier, and perhaps a good one*
Interesting Case of Alleged Larceny.
Owen Clark, a resident of Pine alley, known as
Trout street, in the Fourth ward, was arraigned on
the charge of stealiog a trunk belonging to a girl
who “ lives out at service.” The prosecutrix stated
tbat she bad lived as a domestic in a family residing
in the western part of the city. She left the situa
tion, and, with her trunk, stopped temporarily at
the house of an acquaintance in XsombaM street,
above Rixth. O’Neill and another man were there.
On making inquiry of her acquaintance if she knew
where she might obtain boarding at some respecta
ble house until she could get a place, O’Neill, it is
alleged, speaking up, quickly said he knew, and
would show her toe place if she would go along. He
and the ether man kindly offered to carry her trunk
there. ,
0 he party started, and finally reached the house in
Pine alley. On entering it, the prosecutrix saw four
females, and from certain of their actions ahe at once
came to the conclusion that the house was no place
for her. She at once objected to staying there. She
says that the defendant and the other man took her
trunk away, and that she has not seen it since. It
contained all her clothing except that on her back.
It also had in it the sum of $26, the savings of her
wages.
The defendant said toe house he took her to was
his own residence, a decent, respectable place, oc
cupied by himself, wife, and children. He then at
tempted to assail the moral character of the prose
cutrix, but was promptly checked by the alderman,
as a protection to the rights of the party who had
thus appealed to the law for j astice. The defendant
acted in so churlish a manner as to impress upon
the minds of the audience an unfavorable opinion of
him. He said that he did not steal the trunk, but
that a man, named Dennis O’Brian did, who has
already been committed by another alderman. Clark
was committed in default of $1,600 bail to answer.
