--The amended ordinance reported to the Council by Mr. Hill, at its last meeting, by which negroes are prevented from riding in hacks about the streets, will be the most popular law that the Council have enacted for many years. Negroes should be treated humanely, but should be kept in their places. For months past they have monopolized the public hacks, by day and night, and many slaves have no doubt been enabled to escape from their masters by the use of such vehicles.
