Some excitement was occasioned in the city the other day by the execution of an order issued by the Provost Marshal, for the search for property stolen from the Ladies' Bazaar. The premises searched belonged to persons lately become residents of our town. Very naturally they feel extremely hurt and wronged by being thus placed under suspicion. It is due to truth and justice that we should say they came here bearing letters of introduction and recommendation from well-known and universally respected citizens of the town in which they formerly resided. Prominent citizens of this city, also, have known the family referred to, and vouch for their unimpeachable character. We exceedingly regret that the affair placing them in such unpleasant circumstances should have occurred.
