other claims to be white. Maybe he is;

night your correspondent learned from
Mason that he would, cOnditionslly with

Of himself, the next night Monday in
appearing on the gallery of the Repu6h-

negroes. AS drunk as Bscchus, he esssyed
to make e talk to the unterrihed," but

to naught. The Ssnsgambisns could see
nothing but the frantic antics of u Of
DRrwin's predecessors Of civilization. He
hoWled. He csVoTtei. He reared. And

THAT is, McClure,) aided and abetted
therein. A more disgraceful show was
never exhibited to this public. Many of
his friends, without regard to political
feeling, felt with and grieved for him. He
left here yesterday morning bearing with
him the good wishes OF many friends, and

Is the talk of the town. Democrats and
alike, hold their hands up in
holy horror at the exhibit made by him,
who claims TO be a gentleman. He was
vils'inously drunk; and that's all
