| YEsTERDAY.-The peace of our city was re-
spected yesterday, to a degree that must have
astonshed any denizenssof New York. Philadel.
phia, or Boston, who happen to be among US.
After the most careful examination of the police
records of the day, we were only able to procure
| the items here below:
| Four white men arrested as drunk and unable to
| take care of themselves.
Several of our colored fellow citizens for carry.
ing concealed weapons, as viz:
| Bill Williams, who fired q revolver in the street
| Nelson Scott who had a sword cane.
Henry Lee, who mildly appropriated horse
| saddle and bride.
W. Berry, who apparently was prepared for a
regular campaign, as he was found possessed of a
most formidable horse pistol and fair supply OF
ammunition. Is not this significant? Should il
not be looked to?
Is it not worthy of attention that of all the
whites brought, by any chance, into the custody Of
the police, not one of ten have arms; but of the
number of colored men arrested, fully ninety ne,
cent. are found provided with deadly weapons
LOST BoYs.-The only other item of interest in
the police records arises from the number of LOST
| boys Enthused by the splendid procession of the
firemen, whom they SO envy and admire, the bows
|
city telegraph was principally occupied last night
i'll detailing what colored coats, and what shaped
hats, were worn by the rising generation. We
opine that if their mothers stepped round to the
next engine house they would probably find the
scons OF their houses gazing wstfolly at the manly
| forms and brilliant uniforms of those who showed
SO well in yesterdays procession.
The RICHMOND EXAMINER.-The following is
| telegraphed from Washington to the St. Louis
Democrat:
| Pollard of the Richmond Examiner, is out in
card in which he says am not unwilling that the
public should know what pledges l have really
given to the authorities at Washington, append
copy Of a letter which l addressed to President
Johnson and upon which his action was based:
WASHINGTON, Feb. II, 1866.
If the publication of the Richmond Examiner is
permitted to be resumed, promise that it shall
support the Union, Constitution and laws and the
policy of your Administrations
, l have the honor to be your obedient servant
ls'ghed) II. r. POLLARD.
This is the sum total of the pledges given, and
that this was in direct conflict with the wishes of
General Grant Will be seen by the following, also
from Mr.. Pollard.
knew nothing of General Grants order for the
release Of my office until read it in the papers, |
saw that officer but once, when he refused en-
phatically to revoke the order for the seizure of
the office, and it was manifest that had nothing
to hope from him, for he said to me expressly that
if he had authority he would that day SUPPRESS
the New York News, Cincinnati Enquirer and Chi
cago Times, adding that copperhead papers of the
North (he designated them) were doing quite as
much harm as papers in the South. Deriving no
satisfaction from him, forced to appeal to
the President, giving him the pledge contained in
the letter above. 1t was written during my last
interview with the President, and in his own office
To his kind and consderate hearing and to his
sense of justice owe the restoration of my paper
Without attempting to enter upon the details of
my interview, | may say with propriety tnat
enough transpired to convince me the President is
true friend of truth, and that it ia the duty of
our people, as it shall be pleasure in future to
extend to him cordial and generous support"
