cial.) -To-night, beginning at 1880 O'Clock,
the Democratic jubilee was held here, and
jubilee 1t was, in very truth. The pro-
cession formed at the south end of Fay
etteville street, and marched thence a
mile, beside a continuous line of blazing
tar-barres, which outlined it in fire. In
front of the City Hall an arch of white
spanned the street. On one side, in great
letters, were the words, Good Govern
ment," and on the other, Good VIII TO
ALL" On the top Of the arch, which was
decorated with scores Of national flags,
was a band. The line Of march was up
Fayetteville street. around Capitol Square
and Hillsboro' street and Dawson street
TO Nash Square, in front of the Union
Passenger Station. AT the latter point
the speeches were made. Many people
from various points along the lines OF
railway came in, all full Of enthusiasm.
The speakers were State-Chairman Sim
mons, Congressmen-Elect ]. w Atwater

PARADE OF ANGRY SAXoNS."
An old negro said this morning: "Dey
tells me dey's gwine ter be er big parade
tonight"
What kind Of parade did you hear It
was TO be?' he was asked, and replied:
"Dey says It's of de Angry-Saxons." He
meant Anglo-Saxons, and thus uncon-
sciously got off the best Of the post-elec-
ton witticisms.
A good Joke is told at the expense OF
John r. Smith. the Republican Commits
sioner of Agriculture. Some one having
said that the Democratic arch of triumph
here was to be used as a galiows from
which to hang Republicans, Smith re-
piled: "Well, that will not affect me. for
