Editors Meas Dc Citizen:
The celebration of the Fourth of July
here seems to have ruflied the temper of
one of your correspondents. Now it is
due to those who were engaged for an
hour or two after midnight, on the morn
ing of the Fourth, in firing salutes and
ringing bells after the old fashion of ccle-
brating the day. to say hat they were
some of the finest and most respected
young gentlemen, and that they had no
thought of lawlessness, or of iniuring any
person. They are a class of young gen
tlemen to whom the names of mood
lums,'' and "trundle-bed trash" cannot
with truthfulness be applied. 1t is just
possible that ONE years ago a feeble old
lady did die sOon after the Fourth of July.
We do not recall any other instance of
the kind, and zone at all where death was
produced by fright. Allow us to express
the hope that your correspondent will not
be worried into the grave by his OF her
anxiety about the day already past, or the
next Fourth. Finally. the question oc-
ours to us which has the strongest ten
dency to give strangers an unfavorable
idea of our refinement and civilization,
and TO disgrace our good name and tame,
the conduct of u young gentlemen or
the malicious statements of the CORES
pondent alluded to? HONESTY.
