February 24th, Mr. Willey, of West Virginia, from the Committee on the District of Columbia, made a report in the following terms. “That the Act entitled ‘An Act to incorporate the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company,’ approved May 17, 1862, makes no distinction as to passengers over said road, or as to any of the privileges of said road, on account of the color of the passenger, and that, in the opinion of the Committee, colored persons are entitled to all the privileges of said road which any other persons have, and to all the remedies for any denial or breach of such privileges which belong to any other persons. The Committee, therefore, ask to be discharged from the further consideration of the premises.”
