The rights of African-American people on railcars was very prevalent, for the state government discusses issues pertaining to railcars, however apparent racism deterred government officials from voting for the rail companies to have better quality railcars for Black customers. Other articles were written on this issue, for a citizen proposed that people should be fined and imprisoned if they discriminate on railcars, but it was dismissed. There were also police court reports for assaults against a black child that was dismissed. The paper disregards these claims, and concludes that these people are out of line and should be more grateful and claims that only a few African-Americans feel this way.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The reply which the President sent to the Senate yesterday to Senator Morton's resolution, with regard to the condition of affairs in the southern States, has made but little impression upon the Senate. With the exception of a few extreme Radicals, who are anxious to perpetuate the power of the Republican party in the South, there is no disposition to meddle with affairs in that section. Anything like a fresh attempt at reconstruction would, it is thought, react upon the Administration and make it obnoxious before the people. The majority of Congressmen are disposed to let the South alone, believing that it is better to do this than to interfere with affairs which belong exclusively to the several States. Notwithstanding, an effort will probably be made to make some capital out of the facts set forth in the President's reply to Morton's resolution. But the ablest politicians in the Republican party concede that the South will be hopelessly Democratic by the time the next Presidential election is held. Washington telegram, N. Y. Herald.
