The police were powcrlcss, we are told, TO &c

N, lr,ated with rage and whisky, an army OF

Ctner dances OF like nature have been held
s5p. at the same place, with nearly the same
vesu,ts: and now the question is, how long is TINS
,hsg going to be continued: Such state OF
things is crying disgrace to the city, ahu Is
making hell of the first ward.
Ga Saturday last the report was spread that
man had been shot in bawdy house on Madi-
son street, nearly opposite the 7. o. block. The
acts are hard to get at as no examination has
80 vet been had but a negro named Chas
Smith is lodged in the county jail on the charge
q having shot through the window. Whether
be did so or not is an open question, but 1t is
certain that one Jerry Canty, who was in the
house, got hit in the leg. An examination was

taken on a change Of venue before ESQ. smith.
& has not taken place, however thus far, as the
negro will await the action Of the Grand Jury
on the subject II was disgraceful affair all
around, as there is no question but that it was
sawdy house sCrapc, that again reflects no credit
ID he city. And another question arises, why
we're the crowds allowed to blockade the side
yak in front Of Weeks and Smiths offices on
saturday when the parties were before those
Justices! The fact is considerable complaint is
being made daily that the VIGOROUSLY dirty dives
about town, which are constantly on the increase,
are not looked after and CLEANED out" and the
sooner the police attend to this part Of their
duty, the better for their reelection a few
weeks hence.
