Saturday he was in maket. buying eggs.
Every body knows Aunt Betsy; she had
lot Of eggs to sell in basket about
five or six dozen St Maur, who is n
wag approached and asked her how she
sold them. She replied, thirty cents d
dozen. honey" St. Maur shelled out if
teen cents and took six. Standing near
the old woman, lie. broke one Of them and
took ont lace collar broke another and
cook ont IA set of hogwood jewelry. and
from third he took out silver half dol
lar Old Betsy began to look. St Maur.
broke his fourth egg and took out small
gold locket, and as be did so, told Aunt
Betsy he would take all the eggs she had g,
as every one Of them contained something
Betsy declined to sell determined to keep
the eggs. and try her luck. She commen
ced breaking and met with no success ; and
no doubt would have broken all in hopes
to fad something, had it not been for St.
Maur. who went to her relief
The first egg he broke he brought out a
spring chicken the next pocket han ker-
chief. Emholdened with ST. Maur's sue
cess, old Betsy tried again, and finished her
eggs much to the merriment of the party
who happened to enjoy the scene. When
all her eggs were gone St. Naur rendered
her pay. but the old negro's superstition
was aroused, and she pirkcd w her bas-
ket with jerk and off she went in hur-
~ with the remark. 'Lor for marsey, dat

leans under the ordinance adopted by the

ernment, have the right, power, and au-
thority in mass meeting assembled to elect
their rulers, subject only to a supervisory
power to.confrm such election upon the &C.
ceptance of the constitution on its ratihca.
ton by the people Of this state.

the late constitutional convention in rela.
tion to said municipal election, being
1doDtad hu
and the act of the people of this state,
through their delegates, possesses the valid.
ity OF a legislative act, and supersedes and
repeals all former acts and statutes upon the
subject when ratified by the people and
confirmed by congress.
ResoloeG, That committee of six be ap.
pointed to procure, If possible, the appoint.
ment Of at least one colored citizen as a
commissioner at each election poll, and to
ascertain from said board of registration
whether such appointments will be made;
and should said registrars decline to make
such appointments that said committee com.
municate with the commanding general on
the subject.
The following gentlemen were appointed
on the committees;
Messrs. Shelley, Kackay, Douglas. Baker.

ResolUed, That the commander of this
military district be respectfully memorial
lied to take the proper precautions to in
sure peace and good order during the cleo
tion.

chanan with the memorial.
