These gentlemen expressed their full concurrence in the statements of Mr.C., and gave additional testimony equally valuable.
Mr.W., the provost-marshal, stated that he had the supervision of the public jail, and enjoyed the best opportunity of knowing the state of crime, and he was confident that there was a less amount of crime since emancipation than before.

He also spoke of the increasing attention which the negroes paid to neatness of dress and personal appearance.
The company broke up about nine o'clock, but not until we had seen ample evidence of the friendly feelings of all the gentlemen toward our object.

There was not a single dissenting voice to any of the statements made, or any of the sentiments expressed.

This fact shows that the prevailing feeling is in favor of freedom, and that too on the score of policy and self-interest.
Dinner parties are in one sense a very safe pulse in all matters of general interest.

They rarely beat faster than the heart of the community.
