'fortune Is that the. thoroughly Unprinci

tool. This must be reganied as certain,
in the absence of any proof that he has
,ever" opposed the confessed illegality and
fraud of his associates. Kenner, the other
:colored map and junior member of the
board, is a very small, light mulatto,quick

He isP gambler and grog-seller, a very
low fellow. and a few years ago Wee kicked.
