New York, August 18.--The Post's financial art- icle says: There was less activity and less stre) in the stock market this forenoon, and there were some indications that the upward reaction from the extreme depression of last Wednesday had, al least temporarily reached, its limit. The market opened irregular, some Btocks: being a fraction igher, but the majority tower than at the close last night.

But immediately upon the announcement of the bank statement Western Union was bid up from 76 to 773¢ In five minutes. This caused an advance of 44 to % in the remainder of the list. At 12:30 o'clock, however, the general result of the trading up to that time showed 4 decline of to 4% on the general list, with exceptional declines as follows: Denver, 1%; Michigan Central, 13;; Wabash common, 134, and Oregon and Trans-Con- tinental and Rock Island,1 each.

Quarantine at Pensacola. ‘THE CORDON AROUND THE NAVY YARD. On Thursday last Surgeon General Hamilton re- ceived a telegram from the president of the board of health of Pensacola, announcing the appear- ance of yellow fever at the navy yard there, and to 2,5 Judge Mills, in deciding the case, sald: Section 1 of “An act entitled ‘An act to protect allcttizens in their civil and legal rights,’ ” ap- proved March Ist, 1875, 18th Statutes at Large, reads as follows: “That all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to the full and tages facies and priviioges of ane patie seer of inns, public con- veyances on land or water, theaters ‘and other places of public amusement, ue, only to the conditions and limitations established by law, and applicable alike to citizens of every raco and color, Tegarjiess of any previous condition of servi- ude,” oe Provides the penalty, and 1s as follows, ze : “That any person who shall violate the fore- going section, by denying to any citizen, except for reasons applicable to citizens of every race and color, and regardless of any previous condi- ton of servitude, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privi- Jeges in said section enumerated, or by aiding or inciting such denial, shall for such offense forfeit and pay the sum of $500 to the person aggrieved thereby, to be recovered in an action of debt, with full costs, and shall also, for every such offense, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and ‘upon convictien thereof, shall be fined not less than five hundred ($500) dollars, or shall be imprisoned not less than thirty days hor more than one year.” A NOVEL Case. ‘The case before this court ts novel, from the fact that itis the first attempt toentorce the penalty un. der the second section making a violation of the law a misdemeanor; it is novel also from the fact that It is pending in the Police Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, a United States court of record, Sections 1049 and 1050, Revised Statutes, U. 8.; it 18 novel as being the first effort to enforce the crimi- nal provisions of the law in a territory where the Congress of the United States has exclusive and absolute legislative Jurisdiction—section 8 article 1, Constitution U, 8. By the of the thir- teenth amendment to the Constitution slavery Wos abolished. By the fourteenth amendment the Tights of citizenship were conferred upon all persons born in the United States, there- fore those persons of color who had here tofore been held in slavey or involuntary servitude (except as 8 punishment for crime,) by the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments were vested, if born in the United States, with all the Tights ‘of citizenship. Congress having the au- thority to enforce, by appropriate legislation, &c. enacted what 1s commonly known as the ‘civil rights bill, heretofore mentioned,although Con; had_ previously @ civil’ rights bill—April 19, 1866. Under the Constitution thus we have, first: Congress has exclusive legislative jurisdic- tion in the District of Columbia; second, by the thirteenth amendment slavery was abolished in the United States, and power given to Con- ress to enforce the same by appropriate legislation; third, the fourteenth amendment which confers upon all persons born in the Unit States cilizenship; and fourth, the ctvil rights bill, passed by Congress, approved March ist, 1675. which provides, among other privileges, “the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, ad- vantages, facilities and privileges of Inns, &¢.,suv- {oct only vo the conditions and imitations eatab- ished by law and applicable alike tocitizens of every race and color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude. The cause pending before thls court Is one involving the rights of a colored citizen to the advantages, facilities and privileges of aninn. Whatisaninn? Webster's definition of the word inn, “A house for the lodging and en- terta{nment of travelers; a tavern, a public house, hotel” The same authority detines hotel as “a house for entertaining strangers or travelers; a hotel or hostejry; an inn, a public house.” Bowdin, in his Institutes, says under the common law au inkeeper 1s one ‘who keeps an open house for the entertaininment and lodging ot all travelers and passengers who de- sire such entertainment; "and further, he is bound to take in and receive all travelers and wayfaring. persons, and to entertain them for reasonable compensation, unless he have no Toom or the applicants are drunk or disorderly or affected with contagious diseases: to supply thelr wants for a reasonable compensation. (Howell vs, Jackson, 6 Carrington & Payne, 725; Fell vs. Knight, 8 Meeson & Welty.) A private’ boarding- house, lodging-house or a coffee-house 18 not an inn, and cannot be compelled to entertain travel- ers, because they have not the same rights that the innkeeper enjoys. The innkeeper has a lien upon all the property of his guest, in the inn and its stables, under the common law, and in many Of the states of the Union they enjoy special privileges, conferred by statute, AN INNKREPER’S DUTIES AND PRIVILEGES. Therefore, under the common law, an innkeeper 1s bound to take in and receive all travelers and wayfarers; and by the act of Congress approved March ist, 1875, it 1s made a misdemeanor to dis- eriminate against a traveler on account of race and color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude. By the counsel for the defendant it 18 contended—ist. That the hotel keeper has a right toestablish certain regulations as to hours for meals. This proposition must be conceded, for without an inkeeper could regulate the hours for meals in bis house he would bea mere cipher in his own house and the guests would be the mas- ter. In regard to the second proposition, viz: “the right to designate certain places or seats for customers,” this must also be conceded, with this qunltation’ or qualification: that whatever dis- riminations are made must be upon some prin- ciple or for some reason that the law recognizes as }d reasonable, and that no discrimination 1s made on account of cotor, race or previous condi- tion of servitude, and that all of the guests shall possess equal privileges, and that the places so designated ‘shall be ace cessible to. all respectable persons at a uniform rate®f charge. In regard to the third proposition of defendant, that an inn-keeper 1s not responsible for the acts of his servants when they act in opposition to his orders. ‘This propo- sition, as a rule, is correct, but there are excep- tions.’ It has ‘been held that where persons, for their own advantage employ servants to conduct their works they must be answerable for what Is gpne by those servants, Rex vs. Medly, 6th; Car- fiugton and Payne, 292. THE SEPARATE SCHOOL QUESTION. The cases cited, viz.: The state of Ohio ex rel, William Gaines vs. John W. McCann and others— 21, Ohio state reports, 198, was an application for a mandamus against the local school directors and teachers in a sub-district of a township,to ad- mit the children of the plaintiff (a colored citizen of the state of Ohio) to the privileges of a specific school district. It was held by the court a.) that under the law of the state of Ohio the classification of puptis on the basis of color was sanctioned, and it was held in Van Camp vs the board of education of Logan (@ Ohio, St. 406) that inasmuch as it is a law of classification and not of exclusion and colored children are not as of right entitled to admission in the common schools set apart for white children, in speaking ot Er ‘one of the fourvonnth arene ment the learned judge says:—“The language the clause, however, taken in connection wer to protect the rights alleged to Brssehaasen in the that the 14th and other amendments wero limita- ions uy the agencies, to overstep these limitations, no case 1875. was hela On demurrer that Co had no ave Deen vi- the federal court had no jurisdiction to action.
