Brad- ley, the colored lawyer from Boston, who figured extensively at Savannah, Ga. where he got into troub! nd who lectured before the Equal Suffrage Association here recently, would seem to be irrepressible. He now ap- pears pefore the United States District Court in Baltimore with a petition for an injune ion against the Baltimore City Passenger Ratlroad Company, to restrain them from ranning the Charles street cars past the Douglass Institnte, on Lexington street, a building owned by a colored association of that city. It was alleged that the cars were a nuisance, and not to be tolerated because of their refusal to allow cofored pleopie to ride in them. His Honor refused to pass an order or entertain the posi- tion, inasmuch as United States Courts had no. jurisdiction over the city of Baltimore. The same party had a case before Justice Hayward, in which he claimed $100 damages of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, in consequence of their refusal to allow him to occupy seat in one of their cars be- tween this city and Baltimore, after he had purchased a ticket.

Subsequently the President di- Tected Surgeon Geo. b. Cooper to inquire into the facts. He has just made a report to the Adjutant General at Washington, in which he gives the following result of the examina- tion: * He (Mr. Davis) is considerably emaciated, the fatty tissue having almost disappeared, leay- ing bis skin much shriveled. is muscles are small, flaccid, and wv soft, and he has but little muscular strength. He is quite weak and debilitated. Consequently his gait is be- coming uneven ard irregular. His dig ve organs at present are in comparatively good condition, but become «uickly deran under anything but the must carefully prepared food. With a diet disagreeing w ryt dyspeptic symptoms promptly make their appearance, soon followed by vertigo, severe iacirl and ¢Tanial neuralgia. an erysipelatous inflamma- tion of the posterior scalp and right side of nose, which quitkly affects the right eye, the only sound one he has, and extends through the nasa} duct into the interior nose. His ner- vous system is greatly deranged, being much prostrated and excessibly irritable. Slight noises, which are scarcely perceptible to aman in robust health, cause bim much pain, the description of the sensation being as of one flayed and having every sentient nerve ex. posed to the waves of sound. Want of sleep bas been a great and alm principal cause of his nervous excitability. This hak been produced by the tramp of the crea} beots of the sentinels on the post round prison room and the relieval of the guard the expiration of every two hours, which most inva bly awakens bim.

Thomas, yesterday, when the case of the Commonwealth vs. Roe. a white man, charged with felony, was being tried, W. Willoughby, Common wealth’s Attorney, asked that he might be permitted to introduce negro witnesses to testify in the case, claiming the right to do so under the provisions of the «Civil Rights Bill.” The Judge declinea per- mission, on the ground that this was a State Court, and that he was acting under the laws ot the State, which forbade that a negro should testify in a case against a white man, except “when the case arises out of an injury done, attempted, or threatened, to the person, prop- erty or rights of a colored person, or Indian, or when the offens« was committed by a white prrson im conjunction with a colored person or Indien.” The Judge stated his determination to execute the laws of his State until ordered to do other wise.— Alezandria Gazette, 24th Sincciar Deatu OF a Cu1Lp.—An inquest was held at East Newark, N.
