The "DIsAPPoINTED. 1t now turns out that
the laborers on the Darby improvement of the
Z. W. IL b. Railroad, who came down to this city
on Saturday after passes did 30 against orders
and custom. Their supervisor was that morning
along the line of the road with their passes, and
issued them to those of them who remained.
They had, all of them, been paid off, and some
OF them getting drunk, came on down here, un-
der the impression that their passes could be
obtained here as well as anywhere. They all
disappeared during the day, it is to be hoped

BEDLAM IN THE CRY CELLs.-John Henry
Teakle, colored man, was placed in the cells,
yesterday, for drunkenness After the heavy
door had swung to on him, his brain became
frenzied with the whiskey which he had drank,
and the peacefulness of the Sabbath was great
ly disturbed by his unearthly yells. He would
swear awhile in stentorian voice, and then alter
nate this with singing and exhortation, some
times pouring forth such volleys of oaths as it
would seem would draw down the curse of his
Creator. There were three other prisoners
locked in the cell with him and his indecencies
to them so eXssperated them that they were pre-
pairing to give him good drubbing when he
removed to other quarters Had it not
been for the example, good humping might
have done him good.
