Charleston was in the hands Of the colored people
yesterday, as far as the streets aud public places
were concerned. independence Day was hailed
by the colored element with as much enthusiasm
as il they dated their freedom from the days OF 76

that threw quite In the shade the pageant OF
Emancipation Day. The weather was extremely
