at the st. Charles hotel last evening, fully
came up to the expectation of the COM

About . O'Clock the masqueraders, to
an almost unlimited number, literally
took possession Of the hall, and such Il
motley gathering and variety of cos
tunes we have seldom seen, several Of
which were gotten up with great taste.
1t was our intention to publish the
names OF the persons assuming the
different characters, but we found that
a task not easily accomplished. Suffice
1t to say the ball was success, and the
committee Is entitled to credit for the
same. We lett the hall when unmasking
time arrived. OF course there was the
usual shaking of hands and recognition
OF friends. The party then adjourned to
participate in repast already prepared
for them, to which we have no doubt
they did ample justice. The ball was
kept up afterwards till an early hour this
morning, when we have no doubt many
regretted that there was an end to all
enjoyment, espec tally in dancing.

THE OPPOSITION RECORD SOUND.

1t is usually argued that II will not be
safe to trust the democratic party in Office,
even for the brief term of four years, in
view of the possible mischief it might
accomplish in that time. The depriva-
ton of the blacks of all civil rights, the
payment of the rebel war debts, the pen
sioning of confederate officers and sol
diers, and numerous other visions of
terror are cOnjured up. With an argu-
ment of this character it is almost humi-
liating to be called upon to deal. Again,
the existence and obstructive power OF
an organ zed opposition, this time con-
trolling the senate, is ignored and that,
too, by the leaders of party which, in
complete control of the government in
its every department, through six years
out of eight, piteOusly claims that its
utter failure during all that time to full
fill any of its pledges was due to the
presence of a contemplate minority.
Experience is, however, after all, the
best of guides, and experience is not
without its lights on this subject. The
Gins" always do, and always have,
unanimously averred, with a fervor
which can only spring from heartfelt
conviction, that the incoming of the
"outs" will be shortly followed by the
final crack of doom. A good many cred
ulous people, from force of habit chiefly,
can always be relied on, also, timorously
to accept this view of the subject. Two
years ago it was nervously argued by the
party leaderf, in the same spirit, that
the country could not be so rich as to
elect a democratic house of representa-
tives to trust, etc, etc. Yet, looking
over the field aid Judging by the record
no truly Independent voter could prob
ably now be found who would not admit
that the existence of an opposition
majority in one branch of congress hai
been, during the last year, piece o.
national od'fortune; and, also, that the
record of that opposition body will, as &
whole, compare more than favorably
with the records of either the republican

Tom MARsHALL.-One cold, stormy

with several gentlemen seated in the
office of the Wilson house, then famous
tavern in st. Paul. Tom Marshall weari-

which sent forth its grateful Neat, he
held out his benumbed hands, and, shiv-
ering to the very marrow, tragically ex-
claimed: "Poor Toms a cold" He
was really ina pitiable plight, suffering
from an extended debauch, and pre-
sented as he stood there a most melan-
choly spectacle. In a few minutes he
