In consequence OF pers'stlng in the read ng Of

turned out, AMI the procession with the excep-

almost dead failure, the Marshals riding togeth.
or to make decent show The cal, the organ
OF Conness, has the following comments:
SATISFIED. PEEHAPs-We trust the Fourth Of
July Committee of Arrangements are satisfied
with the results OF their very foolish conduct.
They inerpolated in the programme matter
having no connection whatever with the event
celebrated, and Il matter wlich has not as yet
certainly been productive of any good events to
be recorded in our history. This Interpolation
in excessive bad tistc to say the least, as it
did not at all accord with the feelings of large
portion of the loyal community. AS the result
Of this inexcusable conduct Of the Committee.
the procession was a pitiful show in comparison
with the Fourth Of July professions which have
been had in this city during the last few years,
and q burst Of feeling was occasioncd at the
theatre which, although proper rebuke to those
who provoked il, was anything but consistent
with the true observation Of the day Hereafter,
we trust Fourth Of July Committees will see the
propriety of conining the programme of exer-
cses for Fourth Of July celebration. wholly to
matters connected by history and tradition with
the event celebrated. Sacramento Republican.
