BIZ TRUMPHS.
The good citizens of Charleston
than whom there are no better-will
Iot stand for the thieving graft and
corr upton of a Chief of Police who
is well known adulterer, boodler
and grafter-a disgrace to the admin
istration, and the city as well, and If

headed to force GULL to resign, then
an outraged people, who do not en-
dorse the transpirings on Fry street,
or feel justified in paying taxes to
employ guards for the aforesaid house
will arise in the might of indigna-

corruption under an avalanche of
votes beyond the reach of resurrection
