An affair occurred at che close Of the
festivities with which the Mayor and City
Council welcomed the Cincinnati Council,
, which so far furnishes the good name of
our city and the character Of its inhabitants
as to call for public exposition, and for
public and unqualified condemnation.
The affair to which we allqde was a sup
per given at the bawdy-house Of Julia
Callahan, on Green street, to the Police
Commissioners and such guests as they
chose to invite. ...l..-, .-...t.... ...'.
On Wednesday of last week the Board of
Police Commissioners determined upon a
carriage excursion through the purlieus of
the Green street district, and, to this end,
dispatched their aid early In the afternoon
to warn the parties of the expected visit,
and the necessity which would arise for eX-
ira refreshments. When the harbor eXcur-
sion returned to the wharf that night, the
aid reported that all arrangements had
been completed, and the Commissioners
and their guests would be received at the
Canterbury by free-and-easy ball, and
that Mrs. Callahan would receive the party
attWelve o'clock midnight, at Which time
she would be ''at home" only to them.
The invitations having been given, and
the majority if not all tue Council and city
officers shaken off, the party left the South
ern Hotel at about eight O'clock, in some
six or seven carriages, oflicered by Police
Commissioners Clark, Meyer and Conrad.
