M. VERY UNGALLANT INDBED, The Republican finding itself placed in a not very enviable position by our exposition of its course upon the street-car negro-equality ques- tion, and of the singular discrimination made by it against white market-going women, espe- cially the ‘dirty Irish women® and the “oleag- inous Dutchwomen;” now seeks, “very ungal- Jantly, to ecreen its own shoulders from merit- ed censure by creeping under the sheltering folds ofa petticoat. The Republican says the objectionable matter was -written-by “a lady,’ and deprecatingly urges that it should not be held editorially ‘responsible therefor. Very well, let us see. The article referred to ap- peared in the leading column of that paper in editorial type, topped by the following head- ings (displayed):—“Our Oity Railroad Cars”. “A Trip on Market Morning”—“A True De- scription ot £zisting Evils and how to Remedy Them” (Italics ours); and the article was then introduced by a double-leaded editorial com- mencing thus :—*« We commend to our readers the following commanication, describing most graphically some of the nuisances that daily exist in the street-cars of this city.” leadedly, and with the “we,” the editor goes on to say ‘we endorse all that the writer says.” (No dodging under tke protecting petticoat here! Italics ours.) And the editor, after promising on the part of the “we” to «treat this subject more fully in a few days,” again | commends warmly to its readers “the commu- nication” which is thereupon given toits read- ers in all the pomp and distinction of leaded | editorial type, as betore stated. This communication, which the Republican thus makes its own utterance by its endorse- ment, is composed of choice billingsgate leveled at such ladies (white) as are in the habit of availing themselves of the convenience afford- ed by the street cars for doing their marketing, These ladies dre variously cesignated by the Republican’s communicator as “coarse rude viragos,” “chiefly Irish,” though occasionally and oleaginously Dutch, and sometimes na- tive; but inevitably “dirty,” “blowsy,” ‘fat and coarse,” and who are farther disgusting by reason of ‘their boorishness, their rudeness, their incivility, their utter disregard of com- mon decency.” The Republican’s endorsed communicator having pointed out the “existing evil” of per- mitting such coarse vulgar people to intrude their blowsy persons and their market baskets in the presence of female refinement in tender colored muslin, proceeded to the ‘remedy.’ This, as recommended, (and endorsed 4s above by the Republican,) was either to cause these ladies (as we will venture to call them despite the Republican’s dictum) to ““walk”—as the Re- publican writer urged they were wellable to do—or that they should be packed off in sepa- rate cars. The fepublican on Friday las: edi- torially repeated the recommendation that the dirty women going to market should be compelled to ride in separate cars, away from ihe « clean people.” The body of the editorial last mentioned was a tirade against the street railway company for designating certain cars for colored people and certain other cars for whites; and we thought then, and think still, that the Republican’s fas- icious sense of the nice and refined, as ex- ed in its clamor that certain classes of white women,admittedly respectable but*olea- ginous,” should not ride in cars frequented by people of*refinement, contrasted oddly with the robust stomach shown in its equally ob- streperously urged claim that colored people— who might be oleaginous too—should ride in cars frequented by people of refinement. To be sure the Republican of yesterday makes the gracious concession that colored market- going women shall—if very filthy—go with the blowsy white trash in the separate cars; but it strikes us there is a great and insuperable ob- jection to the Republican’s plan. The poor white trash,so much berated by that paper, might yield with more or less ‘docility to the mandate to carry their tat and objectionable carcasses to separate cars; but suppose some Mrs. Dr. A. T. Augusta should plant herself with her market bisket on her colored rights, and refuse point blank to set foot in the cars set apart for the blowsy and olea- ginous;—what in the mischief could be done about it? Would not Mrs. Dr. A.T. A, straightway write a protest to the military authorities demanding the arrest and punish- ment of the conductor who should have the temerity to deny her entrance to the first-brst cars, frequented by the persons of refinement? Would not Senator Sumner straightway call for additional legislation, ‘further providing by law against the exclusion of colored per- sous from the equal enjoyment ot all rail- road privileges in the District of Colambia” ! Would not the Republican feel compelled to follow suit in a considerable number of more columns, editoriaj, or communicational, de- claiming against the atrocities committed by the railway company ¢ Really, the project is surrounded with diffi- culties on all sides. We really do not see how the market- going white women are to be elimi. nated from among the people of refinement without trenching on the privileges of Mrs, Dr- Augusta, colored. For it would not look well, on the whole, to claim that the Mrs. Dr. Augusta’s, when mar- | ker-missioned, should be privileged to ride in the cars from which white women, similarly musioned, have been ejected. And we are quite sure that Mrs, Dr. Augusta (supposing there is a Mrs, Augusta) is a woman of spirit and would not be a whit behind her husband in asserting her rights; and that the whole uy w~—24 soma ap in Congress. Seriously, we submit Tas“. Republican has no manner of right to use (to their ove prejudice) the respectable colored people of this District as a catspaw to serve its own private ends in abusing the street railway company.
