Artist Burgess Did Not Tip the New York
 Detectives,


 The detectives sent out from New York city Saturday night, giving attorney O'Neils statement that artist J. A. Burgess had paid S100 purge money to New York detectives, brought out stout denial from inspectof Byrnes in this mornings papers. The dispatch further stated that inspector Byrnes' men had been engaged to find the girl and that they had not found her, the explanation being made in court that Burgess had paid the detectives 'rlarge sums of money" presumably to keep the girl in the shade. In consequence of this, the dispatch stated, Burgess was discharged and the complaint of abduction dismissed. This the inspector also denies. At noon to-day Sergeant Rogers and another detective of Inspector Byrnes' staff were at the Franklin house, the for mer engaged in, close conversation with | Officer Dodds and the latter with Artist Burgess. The detectives had come to Waterbury on the morning train having arrived in Bridgeport last night on the Boston express. Their errand was simply to verify what had been reported in the papers and they interviewed Chief Egan the lawyers in the case and Burgess and | Officer Dodds.
 statement was explained this way by MT Burgess this morning. He said that he had stated to his counsel that the affair at New York had cost him $100, but what he meant was that he had lost that amount by being detained from his profession He spoke highly of his treatment at the hands of the police and detectives while held at police headquarters. 6
 Of course the detectives soon discovered how misleading was the report sent out and their mission ended. They are, how ever, still engaged in looking for Mamie Byrnes, but they did not prosecute thei1 search in this city.

On the morning of the opening OF
the great convention, than which no
more important one has been held
since the close of the war, no man can
even tell what an hour may bring
forth. The air is filled with rumors
of combinations and candidates, but
nothing can be predicated. What
creation shall be evolved from this
chaos, not the most observing can de-
termine. All that remains is to be
patient, and abide the verdict of
events. One thing is observable. 1t is
not the rivalry of contending factions.
which makes the issue so palpably
uncertain, but the intense eagerness
of the great body of the delegates to
make only such nomination as will
satisfy the demands of the party east,
west, north and south. To harmonic
all factions and at the same time put
forth a ticket that will command the
full vote of the party in the doubtful
states is the work to which the con-
vention stands committed, and it is
such a work as challenges the most
careful consideration of every phase of
the situation. The republican party
see the necessity of making no mis-
take, and they will not act hastily.
All this parade Of candidates, posi-
BILE and impossible, is merely the an
nouncement that the several COM
mands are on the ground but have not
determined what position they will
take. The decisions Of this convention
will be arrived at deliberately, unless
all signs fail.

TUESDAY. JUNE 10, '83
THE COUNCIL CIRCUS.

The matinee at the council rooms
yesterday afternoon was fully as sui
try as the atmosphere. There were
several red flags Haunted and the
horns were lowered and the below
followed, like song with an illustra-
ton.
The first blast was Occasioned by
the reading of a petition for the OPEN
ing of the plaza markets morning and
evening. The committee on petitions
recommended the granting of the
petition, but his honor saw fit to inter-
pose an objection and announced that
he would oppose the granting of the
petition. Any remedy must come
through the circmulocution office and
not through the direct means of a
petition. The petition was defended
by Gallagher, but he has no more
show of getting a motion carried in
council than a republican has :of car
rying an amendment to Mills bill in
committee of the whole. The matter
was finally referred to the city attor-
ney for opinion.
The report of the committee to
whom the street commissioners COM
plant was referred, was the occasion
of u passage at arms between the
leader of the opposition and the presi-
dent of the council. Gallagher init
mated to his honor that forcible Ian
guage was demanded and that the
unanimity of the council chamber was
like that of hell. After this blast had
been blown Schreiner's minOritySSre-
port, as rejecting most severely upon
the street commissioner, was passed,
and the majority report, exhonerating
him, was duly knocked in the head.
That wooden drain pipe at the cor
ner of Avenue "Cn and Fourth street.
called the alert alderman of the Sec
ond ward again to his feet and warm
ed him up for the discussion which
ensued upon his motion to amend the
ordinances so as to re-instate evening
marketing. Schreiner took umbrage
at some things said by Gallagher, and
some hot retorts were the order of the
hour. The sandy-haired orator get
ting in his hot sentences where they
evidently ruffled the hair.
The shutting up of the evening mar
ket works great hardship to the house
keepers of this city, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that the obnoxious and
entirely unnecessary restriction will
be repealed. Could kind providence
devise some method of putting this
council through it's semi-mon thly
PAGES in such shape that its proceed.
ings would have a little less of the
monkey and parrot character, and its
work result in some improvement to
the city it were contamination most
devoutly to be wished. AS it is, there
is no dignity attending its sessions, nc
benefits resulting from its delibera.
tiOns, no real improvements following
its outlay of money. 1t is menace

EMANCIPATION DAY.

lnlS Is Gle udy Ill "hlcn al loNel-
headed colored citizens rejoice that
the republican party was born into
power, without which they would
still be slaves, and mere hewers of
wood on some other mans woOdpile,
and drawers of some other fellows
water buckets. There are few who
may forget to remember this fact, but
the majority do not, and here in San
Antonio very lively recollection of
the unadulterated facts is preserved.
In many other sections, not so highly
favored as this, they also remember
that the mere fact of freedom is about
all that is left them. That, with the
departure of the republicans from
power, the provisions of the amend
ments, comforting citizenship upon
those recently in bondage, have be-
come dead letter. That no rights of
citizenship and only some of the
rights of aliens are preserved
to them; and also, that this
condition must continue until
the republicans are again in posses
sion of the government of the country
which they saved from political disin-
tegration and made of it a great ma
ton. Truth crushed to earth will rise
again, the eternal years are hers; and
the rights of citizenship and the priv
ileges of self-government cannot be
forever withheld from any class of our
people. Meanwhile the celebration of
emancipation day, though it's benefits
have been most imperfectly enjoyed as
yet by most of the colored citizens of
this republic, is educating them
into a knowledge of what the re-
publican party attempted to achieve
for them, did achieve, and would have
over perpetuated had not the superior
knowledge and political tricky of
of the democratic party overriden the
constitution and the law in the south
ern states and made of that cOnstitu-

turns expectantly towards a new day
and brighter. The measure of the
cup of democratic iniquity is almost
melted out and there are not want
ing indications that the power of
the solid south is being broken. With
that comes the real emancipation of
millions of colored American citizens,
hundreds of thousands of whom have
neither part nor lot nor voice nor vote
in the government, any more than if
they were still in the interior of the
Dark Continent" Still the emanci-
patton day celebrations are religously
kept up, and upon each recurrence
of the occasion the memory of
the good deeds and just de-
visements of the national govern
ment, republicanly administered, is
brought to mind and the abiding faith
of the colored citizen is strengthened
in the final triumph of equitable and
just views and practices of govern
ment. Today, in San Antonio, and
all over the great state, thousands of
hearts are swelling with pride and
pleasure and new hope for the future.
Their eyes are turned backward
towards the immortal martyr "Hon-
est Abe Lincoln" and they are look
ing for some redeemer to come, to is
