It was Imponible to hannunize thu cUffercnce of the two factions of colorccl clttzens in our city, mui the conscquciice was that it took two days to celébrate the adoptlon of the X V'tli Amenilment. The frec-dlnnerites held their joiliflcation on Monday, and, allhough the woather was not as picasant as it niight have been, agoodly number was in attemlance. Vpon the arrival of the mail train from the east, a processiou was formed at the depot, headed by Aray's (colored) Band, consistí ng of delesations from Ypsilanti and Detroit, and after marchlDg throagh th principal Btreets proceeded to the residenoe of Prof. Cooi.ey, who, in response to calis, made a brief speech. The proecsyion then re-formcd and iroceeded to the Court House, whcie speeches were made by Gov. Ficr.rn. K. E. FlUZBn, Esq., and Messrs. Harqo and Cabtbr, the regalar speakers for the occasion being splrlted away by tlie other faction- which was a joke not very well relished. Alter llstenlnir to the speeches the procession agalu took up its line oí maroh, brtnglng up at Good Templara' Hall, wliere a free dinncr was la waltiiijr. The ilay's festivities closed iy a festival at Good Templara' Hall In thuevenin.ï, and a dance at Beshner's Hall. The cfilcbratlon of Tuosday ?na vcry much tlie same as that of the day precedlng, save the nnislc, which was discoursed by the talented jmislcians - Porter Zouave Jiand - aud tho free dinner. Vote op the Intehiou CiTnca of MicniGAx - At the recent electlon, the íollowinjí interior clties cast the uunibar of votes priated belovv : Gtatnd Raplds, 2,043 Jackson, 2,1G4 Easc öftghmw, 1,702 Adrián, 1,701 Anu Arbor, 1,370 Laoslng, 1,030 Marshall, 994 Saglnaw City, ■;.' Jiattlc Cieek, 010 Estiinatlng the popnlntion of the diffurcnt localities at six for each ?o ter, the mini ber 01 lnh&bltanta of tiic diUereut placw WOUld bc as follow : Grand Rápida, 15,858 Jackson, 12U84 East .Salnaw, 10,212 Adrián, 10,202 Aun Arbor, 8,22U Lanslng, C,08ü Marshall, 6,964 Saglnaw Citj% 5,832 Bsttle Creek, 5,400 Iu Grand Rapkls, as the EagU of that place statos, a Culi vote was polk-d, In Jackson, more than 150 voters remalued awav irom th'e jiolls, for causes already Btated In these columns. Bv the estímate abovo raade, and addlng thosc vcho fuiled to vote, it would place the populatlon of the Central City at 13,885, which is probably correct. In the above list we do not include the vote of Kalamazoo and Hiles, which we are u-jable to obtaiu. - Juekton Citúcrt. The vote of Ann Arbor was not full by more than one hmulred. At the last Presldentlal election the vote of our city was over fourtei-n hundred, and a Aill vote now would give liftten hundred. As to ?ix ]erson?o evcry voter, the average will not bc that in Jacksou, Aun Arbor, or auy other city In Michigan.
