PUBLIC MEETING IN FAIRFIELD. We
learn from the Neacs that meeting was
held at the Court House, on Monday
last. The object was to appoint dele
gates to the June Convention, or, as Mr..
W. r. Robertson said on the occasion,
to secure an honest administration of the
State Government and to save tho State
from the financial ruin imminent. 1t
was stated that the delegates would be
untrammeled in their action. The Necs
says:
Col. Rion addressed tho meeting, re-
commencing that those who opposed the
present dishonest administration, should
act in future as balance of power, not
nominate candidates of their own, but
should, in all cases of division among
our opponents, take the least of two
evils, that is, the candidate who may be
the more honest of the two.
Col. Davis moved that when this meet
ing adjourn, that the citizens of Fairfield
meet on the first Monday in July, to re-
ceive the report of the delegates.
The delegates nominated by the Com
mittee, were j. r. McCants, Col. David
Province, Thomas Jordan, Abrnm f.
Lumpkin, Alfred Moore, DIR. Samuel
Anderson, John o. Crosby and Sandy
Ford, who were confirmed by the meet
ing.
By motion of Col Rion, the chairman
of the delegates was instructed to defray
all necessary expenses of the entire dele
CATION, the amount Of which would be
refunded to him by the meeting.

ATHE Colon QUESTION IN TIE THEATRE
WHITE BEArs AND DUsKY SWEET
HEARTS. The equality of color is max
ing rapid progress i'll this town. Last
night, two negroes, dark as the ace OF
spades, occupied conspicuous seats in
the National Theatre, enjoying the Eng
lish opera. The night preceding, al Of
ficer Of the House of Representatives
created an immense sensation by appear
ing at the same theatre with two dashing
and elegantly dressed colored ladies' He
bore his honors manfully and meekly,
paying no attention whatever to the Gu
rious looks directed towards him bv his
white brethren. Some very excited
white folks went to the manager of the
theatre to protest against the ''outrage," :"
as they called it, and to suggest the pro-
priety Of putting the colored gals and
their white escort out Of the theatre.
