The following resolutions were adopted: , We hail with joy this annual re turn of the day that gave freedom to millions of human beings, bound by the shackles of slavery !

We are glad to learn that the prop erty Was insured. Christmas Day. We have heard many complaints of disorder in the city on Christmas day. We think the great oversight was in nt hav ing a large extra police force on du ty. We know that on such "Occa sion it is a hard matter to guard against riots and disturbances in a town the size of Raleigh ; but then it seems that the city government might have taken extra precaution for any emergency thatmightexist. In justice to Chief of Police King, and officer Crossan we take pleas ure in savins: 'that we witnessed their exertions on one occasion to keep order, and they did the best they could under the circumstances. We trust our city authorities will not allow another public holiday to pass witnout taKing precautionary measures to prevent such scenes as disgraced our city a portion of the time during the late holidays. We learn that Mayor Whitaker was sick on Christmas day and his nec essary absence may in a measure ac count for the want of prompt action on the part of some of his police. Wake Superior Court.
