since that portion of the city bearing these
deIectable titles was Stunned by every
white man and respectable negro-espe-

not be accorded to the police force for the
achievement of this moral revolution.

tremendous and perfect success. The
grounds were thronged at an early hour
of the day, and the crowd grew densel
every moment after three o'clock. At ten
O'Clock there were not less than six thou

and pleasure reigned supreme. The esti-

that paws 800 will own 800 in stock
There is therefore no public debt created,
