THE COLORED MAN’S RIGHTS.

A Southern Railroad to Run Separate Cars for Negroes. Senator Brown, as President of the State road of Georgia, and head of the new Georgia railroad syndicate, says an Atlanta dispatch, announces that his policy, under the altered condition of things made by the civil rights decision, will be to be more careful than ever that colored mon shall have full rights upon trains. He says that colored people will not be permitted to go into a car intended for white ladies nor to invade upon white people who do not desire their society, but that comfortable cars will be arranged on the Western and Atlantic for both races, where they can travel comfortably and safely. Conductors on his trains, under his orders, will no more permit white people to intrvde upon colored than they will permit colored to intrude on white people. His orders will be stringent to conductors to see that colored people paying the same price paid by whites shall have as comfortable accommodations, but they must take it in different cars. Senator Brown said a little common sense, with a desire to do what is just in the premises, would regulate the whole matter to the satisfaction of both races, and, so far as his road was concerned, it was his determination to see that justice was done to all.
