Among the committee of 200 citizens
appointed by Jacob Deetll, to make
arrangements for the celebration OF
the Fourth of July, are two negroes ;
but the majority of the committee are
supposed to be Of Democratic procliv-
tiles, and naturally inclined to decide
against negro participation in the eel
ebration.

The session of the Board OF Super
visors last night was a stormy one,
ring and anti-ring members bandying
epithets, making charges Of bribery,
corruption, ETC., In connection with
the street railroad franchises, all Of
which we're finally put over for one
week. Some high old petitions were
presented, among them one from
Thomas Mooney and others, officers Of
the An ti-Coolie Society. asking the
appointment of Committee to inquire
into and report Oh the condition, mode
of living and lodging of the Chinese
inhabitants now In this city, with n
view to establish rules to compel
thorough sanitary regulations among
these people; also "to consider the
best and most feasible method open to
your Board to have all the Chinese
removed beyond the bounds of the
| city, and to enforce the strictest quar-
antine regulations OH such as arrive In
our harbor." Also, II from the
President of the Eight-Hour Council,
asking that an allowance be made for
the Secretary of the Association with
regard to returns from the First Ward.
The following report was presented:
"The undersigned, officers Of the cleo
ton for the First Ward, do testify that
the returns of the election held In said
ward June 7th we're correct, as counted
by them, and that the vote was 81 for
the subsidy and 266 against it, leaving
a majority Of 81 for the same; and we
would further say that two persons
from each ward were present-Judge
McHenry and P. Wheelan OIL II side,
and Charles Hanson and y person not
known to us OIL the other. The count
ing of ballots was done before the
above gentlemen, and If any such dis
crepancy had occurred 1t would have
been plain to detect the same. We
believe the above ballots were TAM
pered with after leaving hands,
and ask your honorable body to defer
judgmentuntil you have fully investi-
gated the facts Of the same. (Signcd:)
Benjamin Shellard, j. d. Connolly,
Judges" A sharp discussion followed,
during which Mr.. Adams said he was
fully convinced In his own mind that
the returns had been tempered with.
The ballots, and many of them, bore
the marks Of having been written In
the same handwriting. He was con-
WINGED that a great wrong had been
done. and hanging was altogether too
good for the perpetrators.
1t was finally agreed by a unanimous
vote to postpone the subject, and meet
again for its consideration oil Wednes-
day next, ut 2 O'Clock p. N.
