CIVIL RIGHTS IN NEW YORK.
Tbe liberies Minister's Suit Aratnet
the Proprietors of the As tor Houaa.
Milton J. Turner. United State min
ister to Liberia, began suit a few weeks
cro affainat Allen k Dam, proprietors of
tbe Aatar House, for $3,000 damage for
rerumng to entertain nim la tbeir hotel
on October 12, 1876. An order to ex
amine the plaintiff d bene ease, on the
gnmnd that he waa about to leave the
country to diacharge the dutiea ot hia
office, was granted by Jadge Daly on
Monday last, and the examination took
place Monday evening, at the Hoffman
Honae, lasting front la p. m. to 4 a- m.
At the hoar of adjournment the eioas
examination by ex-Judge Curtis, ooun-
sol for the defendants, waa sot yea eom
pleted, and it was stipulated that it
should ba continued by a special eom'
m union to be aent , to Liberia. The
plaintiC who ia a full-blooded negro,
drove np to the hotel in an elegant ear
rUxre drawn by a pair of spanking bays.
On the box waa a white ooechmaa and
by his side a ooloseel white footman
nearly 6) feet high. Both men were, in
handsome silver trimmed drab livery
"ml wore black oockadee In their bate.
The plaintiff was aooompanied by his
colored mend, Air. LWwnin, taa oete
hra ted water man of tba Custom-house.
and both were ushered into the meeting
roemby the footman aforesaid. .The
-plaintiff not only paid for tba .room, but
also entertained the whole party with
choioe wines and clean, Mr. Tomer.
although born a slave, and the sen of a
aiave woman, is a man oi varied accom
plishment, a fine linguist and a good
lawyer, aa bis at Toggles with Judge
Curtis under the cross-examination
clearly showed. After a long aeries of
queetiena, Turner wa oom pelted toad'
mit that tba only material damage he
had suffered waa the ram of $2 which he
paid a porter to carry his bannura from
the Astor House 'to the International
hotel. "Did the porter demand that
sum of money f asked Judge Cortia.
"No," VM me feply: "l gsv it as a
KTataity." " - ! -v
"Then it vraa simply an act of beneryo-
lenoe and cnanty oa your part r
"It waa." replied the diplomatist.
"Then that aattlea the queetion of
damagee," aaid Judge Curtis, smiling,
aad Mr. Tamer looked muoh disoon-
carted.
Tbe" counsel if Allen k Bam claims
fiat the civil rights bill, under which
this action Is brought, is unconstitutional
and opposed to the organic law of tbe
land, and that at ttte time in question
tne hotel was actually full.
At the close of tba examination yes

Mr. Bdward Matthew Axcbanffea His
Baal Batata for a Ballroad,
The Boeloa Advtrtlaar rives tba de

Edward Matthews, of thlt city, and tba
Charter Oak Lift Insurance Company

tiser it tBDeara that the Charter Oak,
soma yean azo, advanced oyer $1,000.
000 on bond tad mortgage to Mr,
Kattliewa en the property, while other
parties did the fame, mull the whole
lien on It amounted to tl.700,000. Mr.
Matthews has been anxious U dispel
of the property for loma time

rented mainly for aloraa and banker'
and brokers' offices. A short time ago
Mr. Matthews waa forced to suspend
payment, and ha proposed to the In
surance company that they, being the
heaviest holders of mortgagee, make an
efl'ort to relieve kiaa by takiug the real
eaiate and paying hint eotae cash, by
mean of which he might satisfy bia
other creditors.
At tba same time tba Charter Oak
Company bad aa hand bond of the
Caoneclicot Valley lUilroad to the
amount of 11,260,000, which a former
president, interested in tba railroad, had
aaddled upon them, and which the atate
!0auieb'bebir pw4eB3e'-the
businew OT the road bad ptoved unre
monraUve and the Interest on the
bonds waa in default. The Charter
Oak' officers did not consider their In
vestment In the rond worlhlcta, aud
always maintained ihat,ln proper hands,
tne read would prove prolltaule. They,
however, could net undertake to run it,
and have been looking for seme one to
take the bonds off their bands ; offers
were made to them but not accepted
because believed to be below the true
value of the bends. - , ...,
Under these circumstances Mr. Mat
thewi was offered the bonds of the rail
road, together with the mortgages held
by the Charter Oak, and the others
hey had bought up ou the . real estate
la New York, aud $235,000 in cash.
This he finally accepted, and it is now
understood that he intends devoting
mmscil to improving tbe railroad pro
perty so acquired.
The Matthew retorted to m the fore
going article ia well known in connec
tion with the Carolina Central Railway.
LEONARD SWETT.
A Painful Rumor Authoritatively Con
tradlcted.
Mr. Leonard bwett came Into the
parlor and greeted the reporter warmly.
"Tins is a very tad aaair, Mr. swett, '
said the reporter, aympattieticaily.
Whftt'S that?" asked Mr. Hwett.
"It 1 very melancholy, but we must
all come to it, sooner or later."
"What is it? What are yeu peak
ing off'
we sbouid all be prepared, Mr.
Swett, we knew not when the hour may
come, Mr. Moody tajs "
"W l.at is all this 7 Why have you
come ?"
"In the nitdst of lire, Mr. bwett. we
are In death. How lo your por lamily
teke it, Mr. Swell V
Take what? Talk out. Have yeu
any bad new? Tell it nulit out, man
"Yes, sir, I have bad news. In tbe
flower of his fame, in the strength f
hu manhood, in the pride of hi middle
aire, one of our most respected ciusens
baa gone from among us, and 1 have
called with tbe Tribune'a sympathetic
condolence to learn the amount of in
surance."
"Who is it? Somebody dead ? Who
Is It f"
Let me break it geutly, Mr. 8wett ;
it is yourself, air. There la a rumor
down town that you are dead."
" 'h.Mbn'11 wamI nr Iml i In t "
"Think well Mr Swett, before deny
Ins it Some of the mt wealthy and
Indeniial of our eitixtns say It is ao."
But I ay it I n't. I ought to know.
Look at Aie."
"Xow, Mr Swett, you understand the
rala ef the law -that where there is a
preponderance of evidence on the eoe
side, It shall be assumed that the side
presenting such prej)onderance shall be
deemed to be correct. There are many
who say you are deceased, and against
them you offer your unsupported word.
What la the intelligent public to think T"
om a nupiuiuauiy, x am nut
Isn't that enongh.
The reporter reflected. He knew Mr,
Swett, and knew him . to be a high-
minded, lioaorabje gentleman, and be
hated to doubt bia word; but he remem
bered numerous oaUs on Mr. swett for
news, whieh he benignly, good nstared-
ly, but firmly refused to give up, and
what wamtttr that the rmMrtril mind
should dwell ou this oharacterWio of
Mr. Fwett.
I'd like to stats flatly that vdaare
stiltalive. Mr. Swett, but I dislike to be
sooopod, and I am fearfuL Couldn't
you write a disclaimer or something I
oouid sbow in tne event or any trouble.
"It isn't naoeesary. When I tell a
man I am not defunct isn't that suffi
cient ?"
Tea, ordinarily: but here's this story
believed by so many, and what right
have L an bumble reporter, to flaunt the
lie in tba teeth of these respect uble
citisens T I might eay there is some
doubt about the matter, and ask tbe
public to suspend judgment until you
can make a atate ment. fiat then you
