TnH INVESTIGATIONS To-NitsHr.-
The committee appointed by the city
wigwauas, to investigate the matter Of
The leaky members Of The Order--to
find ont who reports progress to the
True Delta--will meet again this
evening, at The banking house Oh
Camp street. AT the last meeting 1t
was agreed that further investigation
should be postponed until the commit

nm degree, but several Of The aecus-
ell parties, conscious Of their innocence
insist OF bringing the matter to a
close. We hope the committee will
have good time Of it Above all,
we advise the members composing it
to keep their temper. Should the
proceedings be Of any interest, we
will publish them Tomorrow morning
for the information Of the members OF
the Order who are not per,Mtted TO
be present, and who would never
know one half Of what Ia going On,

Up TO this time, we have always
entertained good opinion Of the
True Delta but now on perusal Of
the above paragraph, we are compel

The rank evils Of The times, which

May We ask the True Delta TO speak
