At the stables of the Washington anti George- town railroad com; near the Baltimoreand Obio depot, where animals are stabled, about 80 are sick to-day, against about 50 yes- terday. Sixteen cars were withdrawn from the line up to noon to-day, and it is the ixtention to withdraw ail the cars to-morrow im case the weather remains ccld and damp. Mr. Riker believes that prevention is better than cure, and it is but justice to say that animals are taken from the cars the moment the first symptora of “the epthippic ts discovered. To illustrate the suddenness -with which the disease developes itself, Mr. Sailer, the superintendent of the road, says that horses which -tarted out this morning in Spparent health were seized with it before going half a dozen squares, and-had to be wkadrawn.

ALL MEN EQUAL BEVORE THE Law—rxoni TANT PRICES A PRETEXT TO KVADE T LAW—MR. PRBUND PINBD $100—HE APPEALS FROM THB DECISION. Judge Snell, in the Police Court, this morn- ing announced his decision in the case of Mr Freund, charged with refusing to entertain col- ored peop!e in his restaurant, imposing a fine of 100. The opinion Is as follows: District of Columbia vs. Frederick Freund: vio- Jation of chapter 31, section 3, of the act passed the second session of the Legislative — of this District, regulating restau- rants, &c. Section 3 enacts that any restaurant keeper or proprietor, * #* # Keepers of ice cream salons * * refusing to sellor wait upon any respectable well-behaved person, without regard to race, color, or previous Condition of servitude, or apy restaurant keepar, hotel, or ice cream saloon # * # keopers who refuse, under any pretext, to serve any well-behaved and respectable person, fm the same room and at the sane prices as other well-behaved and respect- able persons are served, shail be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction in a court having jurisdiction, shall be fined one hun- dred dollars, and sball forfeit his or her license. * = + The allegations in this information, are, that the defendant on the 19th day October, Jast past, in the Distriet of Columbia, violated the provisions of this act, by refusing to acil ic creams to R. W. Thompson, and ers men- toned in the infermation, being wet! behaved and respectable persona, at the same prices as were charged to other respectable aud well be- haved persons. The complainants are clerks in the Freedmen’s Bank, Washington, D. ©. It was not seriously contended that the refusal to serve was because the parties were not respec- table or well behaved, but because they were colored. It appeared, that some or all the same pasty, had been previously served at defendants restaurant at reasonable prices. On this oc sion they were presented with the bill of fare. and then attention was called to the prices of ice creams upon it, which was fixed at #2. The attendant was directed to serve the creams, wrhout reference to price. After some discus- sion between the attendant and proprietors, and some delay, the complainants were intermed they could not be served unless they paid in ad- vanice the sum of $2 cream, as marked upon the bill. This they declined to do, and with- drew from the saloon, after some discussion in reference to transact end the lega’ rights of the parties. The defence made is—that the defendant had a right to claim pay in advance. and when this was ‘complied with, he was under no obligation f serve the parties calling Tor creams. would undoubtedly have been true if the defendant rad demanded the usuai price of creams at bis restaurant, or at least a Teasonable amd had been ready to serve the complainants upon the same terms at which he served other respectable and well-behaved persons; but by attaching to his demand the unjust and uweregsonable condition that they should pay the sum of €2 forthe same cream usually furnished for a few cents, itis clearly manifest that the defendant was attempting to evade the law’by insisting upon something so absurd and oppressive as to compel these parties to withdraw from his restaurant wneerved. It is in proof that the price of creams at this sa- loon was usually from 15 to 30 cents. Here the proprietor demands $2 for the same cream. By the card of bill of fare, containing his liet of prices, the Meiendant unfortunately puts him. selt fm the attitude of being ready to wait upon and serve colered customers, provided they will be cenrtent to sub mit to his unjust and extortionate demands 4 court is satisfied that the demand of £2.0° for asingie ice cream was a pretext, wifbin the meaning of the 3d section o this act, for a re- fusal te serve the complainants, Webster de- fines pretext to be the “ostensible reason or mnetive assi, |, or assumed. as a color or cover for the real reason or motive.”’ No illustration 0! the logai meaning of the word pretext could be more opposite than Cast furnished by the conduct of the detendant. He was unwilling to make a cidvart and positive refusal to serve the complainants tn terms, and as celor or cover for the real reason he sought an ostenacbie reason, which he hoped would shield himirom the legal censequences of direct and positive action. It was pr cely this the law wes intended to prevent. ‘Several casesin dtt¥erent forms, bet involving the same principle, the absolute ee unlity of all men before the law, have been béiere this court; and it is to be hoped that a speedy atjudication of the questions raised by them mey be reac! in the supreme court of this District. It is the duty of courts to take judicial notice of the con- stitution of the country and the law of the land This act is im apy mt harmony with both. It woald seem to the part of sound philosophy rt and good sense to eccept with liberality aud od faith that which has become both histor: d established law; but if communities or indi- viduals, mislead by prejudice or other consider- ations, however tempting, tail to recognize the legic of events, it is q certain the ic of events will mot fail to recognize them. Kights which have-cost arevolution will not stand aside pretexts. The defendant is adjudged guilty, d the fine and penalty are imposed.

If they are defeated on next Tuesday, it will be by the climax of fraud, and this republican form of government cannot survive another such stupendons fraud! The officials in power had decided beforehand kew much majority they were to have, and will no doubt carry out thelr fraudulent programme after the mockery of an election is held.

They owed €7.50 on that score, and he would be one of seven to make up the amount. Contribationsthen came in slowly, and the amount was reduced to $1.15, and stuck there.
