So it COOS on till tho music sum

when supper is announced, each lady
escorts her chosen companion to tho
scene Of action.-"NIr,--, lot Inc

masculine is 80 much ovcrpowored
with attention from his fair attend

brought him, that he can only NUT

PUBLIC MEEr1Na.-We give elso-
where the proceedings of mass
meeting of citizens held last Satur
day. The report explains itself.
The meeting was quite large, and
was fully representative of all the
interests Of our community.
In this connection we would
state that on Saturday night, a
committee consisting of George W.
Bari and two other colored men
wai.td upon Intendnnt Bacot, de.
manding that the> white policeman
be at once removed. Mr. Bacot
stated to them that he was under
arrest and had no authority in the
premises. They then waited upon
Wardens Nelson, McCarley and
Gerig, scverally,-the last-named
of whom they did not find at homo
The conduct of some Of the colored
people on tho. street was at one
time quite boisterous, but in q
short time they retired from the
streets, and the utmost quiet hos
since prevailed. George W. Bar
Der was called before tho council
on Monday morning, and repri-
manded for the impropriety OF
taking action at such an untimoly
hour, and advised to avoid anything
of the kind in future. We very
much regret the action of tho col
ored men on Saturday night. In
common with the whole community
we condemn tho ncts alleged ia
have been committed on tho night
of 9th inst, but however wrong
5! they wore, thoir commission does
not justify any improper action in
other directions. The action of the
committee headed by George Bar
ber was most i'll timed, and calcu
lated to do no good whatever. rhe
