WaR IL AFRrcA.--It Is with profound re
greet that We are compelled 20 chronicle dis
turbance or misdemeanor on the part OF our
colored citizens, which goes TO show that the
ethiopian population are not entirely imma-
eulate, and that the primal fail which inyolv-
cd the loss Of Eden to the first pair has east its
blighting influence on the sable sons and
daughters Of i" Ham," not less than upon those
Of +" Shem" and "Japheth." Either human de-
prayity i general, extending alike to all per-
sons Of every race. color, nation and cline, in
eludins the eolored exotic, denominated the
negro, or else great outrage has been com
mitted upon the liberty Of the citizen. The
circumstances are ti.ese: Night before last, a
isfEc alid scicet party, embras1uy some OF our
hrst families from among the colored citizens,
met 1t a hall on Georgia street for the purpose
Of enjoying soiree and terpisehorian festival.
We have no positive information about the
manner in which they deportcd themselves,
our evidence being entirely hearsay. Our
policemen are argus-eyed and we learn that
the festive throns became very enthusiastic,
In fact bolsterous, so much so as 10 constitute
an unlawful assemblage.
The mirth walked fast and furious and the
sound ofthe caterwaul from within foated out
upon the night wind in Earring dissonance.
The police marShaled their forces and made a
determined invasion Of the discordant prem-
ses. The darkies surrendered without resist
anee. Yesterday the devoted band Of forty
seven were before the Mayor, charged with
" disturbing the peace" " constituting an I'M
lawful assemblage," and other Ofenses against
the peace and good order Of the city.
An impartial hearing resulted in the convic-
ton Of thirty-twO Of the festive crowd. They
were each fined in the sum Of Sl4 20. They
all went 70 Jail with the exception Of one who
paid. Nineteen Of them were negro soldiers.
belonging TO the command now stationed at
Camp Darlington.
While the hearing was going on. word was
sent 10 the commanding officer TO come TO the
police Office and take charge OF the disorderly
soldiers. He replied That he was unwilling 10
interfere with the course Of Justice In the
premises. and preferred 10 let them take the
c0nsequences Of their disorderly procedure.
They are now In Jail awaiting the further
action q the military authorities in the prem
ises. The Tailor wiIl have his hands full for
the next thirty days In consequence Of this I'M
expected addition TO the inmates or his board
ing house.
The police are deserving Of A compliment for
the very handsome manner in which they dis
charged their duty. and We apprehend that
this ssIntsryf punishment win repress further
procedures ola similar nature for a long TING
10 come.
