The Bully BOVS.r

We quote the phrase from the i'm
mor,als SHAKESPEARE and SCOTT. Yes.
they are Bully Boys: the clubs OF
Richmond. They are in the field. and on
Thursday night commenced to strip for the
fight. TO these clubs Richmond is lastingly
Obligated They brought her up out of the
slough in the hour of peril, and kept the
public authority in the hands Of our own
competent white people. And thus have
been preserved the order, credit, good 60.
yerpment, and security Of life and property
IN Richmond.
We know that old-fashioned people are
addicted to turning up their noses at the
cIuhs-there were no such things In the
DAYS OF yore. Unquestonably. And there
are great many other things now that were
not then. The clubs come with the neceS.
sity for them. They have performed heroic
work. The city could not have done with.
out them, and it will be seen that they are
as necessary now AS ever.

Cook at its head, and the Excelsior Club, led
by Colonel WILLIAM G. DARLINGTON, both
resolved to stand by the nominees of the late
primary election with entire unanimity.
The Old Dominion thus spoke:
