W. W? Cole's New and Greatest Show
on Earth.
The lonjr expected arrival of W. \\\ Cole's
Circus, Menagerie, Museum and Trained AnlE/xpt?strfr)i*<jf
W-onders took place yesterday.
thf show-touslnesr now souths to
run to consollrtaflmts, in which the aim is to
luetudc the old style circus, menageries, museums
aud an aggregation of shows exceeding
tbe small atfuirs of a few years ago as
niutb *s ran he imagined. In carrying out
his piau Mr. Cole did not stop with merely
our ur.two collections hut gathered In at once
tbe Great New York Circus. Trained Animals,
Jcc., that of the famous New Orleans
Menagerie. Museum, Ac., and colossal aggreof
the World's Wonder Exhibition,
massed in one grand cltv of tents of monster
proportions. In order to keep twice with the
tlMos Mr. Cole has reduced his price of ndralsslon
for adults to.iO cents; children under
it years of ug?, 25 cents. So great has been his
saeeess slnee the inauguration of cheap rates
fur the people, that he has been compelled to
roJarge his exhibition tents to more than
double their former capacity to accommodate
the teus of thousands who patronize this
gr*nt show dally at all points where it exlUtdts.
Naturally, a street procession of an
exhibition like this Is sufficient to attract no
mhikJJ attention of Itself. The parade yesterday
more than Just 1 tied all that has been said
of the show. The chariots and splendid
<*>stumes, with nil the pharnphernalln of u
eireus, were of the most elaborate and costly
description; but the success of the affair is as
Much owing to the artistic taste of the proprietor
as the lavish expense which ho has
filtered into. The performance In the tents
wiu fully worthy of the parade lit public.
The zoological departments were fully repreiwntod.
The rare wild beasts, birds and repUle*.
tho trained animals, magnificent specimens
of oceanic lions in thesub-mjuatle mansions,
made up a monster exhibition which
would go far to disprove the late "A. Ward"

Reply from Professor Hood.
Columbia, K. C. October 12,1s7t.
Bditor Prtu and Banner :
DKAtt But; I have- been, and am still very
much obliged to you for kindly Inviting m'u
to write tome letters for your paper, while In
Columbia, on the Bond investigating committee.
There are two reasons why I have not been
able to write. First, my time has been wholly
given to the work In haud. In fact I have
no more lime to write at night than in daylight,
as tiuil is the only time we have lnut u>
road report* of oiHcersand committees, and
trace l,egiHluXlve action on the various points
involved in our work. In the earlier part of
the work wheu the committee would conic together
In the morning, many poluts were
prirseutcd for consideration by tiie different
u*embor?. Kach member iiad to examine
Uj?i* points for himself, and night was the
out/ time that could be used for that purpose.
'Jteegomiuittue has had to rely almost entirely
ou its own resources for information. Tno
rtUte Treasurer could show us only the more
prominent books and vouchers. This work
was about as new to him as it was to us. He
and his clerks are as busy as they cau be
With (he current business of his otlice, and
about all he could do was to open the vault
uud allow us to huut for ourselves. .Much
time lias been lost in searching lor vouchers
uet-ded to verify certain transactions und
books to till ail the links in the records.
Then, H must be remembered that there is 110
light iu the vault, except what is put there
by artificial means. Not a clerk of lite torlaer
treasurer ^'ardoiu) to show us any thing,
tuey are all gone from Columbia. So that the
comwittec has had to study from the nature
? iwutks mid vouchers
or IUe wor* ttuuv
ought to be there, uud then without aid, in a
Uarjt, hot, unventilated vault, amid multiluiiuii
of papers uud books, the accumulation*
uf u hundred yearn, search lor ttie tiling needed,
In thu moan time, only two of the coninuUfc
besides myself hud a practical knowledg#
of book-keeping, uud this knowledge
did uot cover the clashes of accounts involved
Ju our .work; viz, the registrution of bonds,
uud the entries incidental to stock, in it?
trHUKl.rN, divisions, revisions, conversions,
consolidations, Ac. Jie it.romcinbercd, moreover,
that we tuivo examined the parentage
of every conversion and consolidation bund
uud stock the Slutc lias issued during the itepubjjean
administrations, represented by the
itcpublican administration's, represented by
over 3H,WX>,00U of vouchers together with all
thu poupoup aud interest yucstious involved.
I b#ye never seen a body of men work harder,
nor greater dllticultlcs to be overcome in
an Investigation, in looking back at what
liu# been done, it now seems almost incredible
tljat such a financial lubyrinth, intricate
- oyuii under the best care and management,
but in this case, doubly so apparently by do?)W.
lias been made comparatively plain by
patieot study and labor, it is very yuestionablo
Whether any State in the uuiou whose
bonded debt has bccoine so involved as ours,
can show such au uxtension and complete
analysis of its debt as our Suite will be able I
to show when the committee's work sliull
have been tiDished.
in the second placc, while my mind wits so!
flilly engaged with the Investigation, 1 could
not write without giving to some extent inditfiitioiiN
of the committee's findings and judgmunt
In relulion to the bonds. As tl?e judgment
of the committee is in no ease Una!, it
has felt that it lius 110 right to make public
?ny opinion that would either appreciate or
depreciate the bonds in the hands of present
holders.
Everybody knows that the bonds are undergoing
an examination because it is believed
iJjvy are tainted with fraud, and, where the
frwud is detected, the Committee Is divided
by the resolutions that created it to report
lUe same, wiin a view k->
As soon as the lieneral Assembly convenes,
the Committee will lay before It a report
xetting forth what has been discovered with
an opinion as to all questionable securities.
t'tUkl Jw? as soon us the Committee feels that it
could bo Justified Jn publishing any opinion
on the subject, properly considering its magnitude
and what hundreds of persons If materjully
utfoct*. willagruo with the Commit.
t?*o Hint It hii* been bettor neither to excite
fear nor hopes while the examination is progressing.
Hoping that you wJU accept these reasons
a* 4 nutiicleut apology for not complying with
yogr yerv kind request to write lor your very
*x.cullent paper whileengaged In this lnves*
)ig?Uon, I remain yours yery truly,
