The circles have been beautifully f

lumns, whioh support the galleries, i
the coats of arms of each State. On I
private box facing the East is placee
fine portrait of General Washington;
the box facing the Weat is the porti
of General Jackson; over this box is
portrait of Van Buren, and on the op
site side that of Henry Clay. The sti

will be necessary to use the dome Hg
and reflectors, in order to throw si
oient light upon the body of the bot
and the ohandoliers under the baloi
circle will also be used, as well as
gas jets over the stage. With that m
artificial light, and aided by the fr
windows, it is supposed there will bc
trouble on this score; while the mell
iog effect of combined sun-light and j
light, mingled with the rich hoes of the
trimming, will have a beautiful effect.
A scenic representation in keeping
with the oharaoter of Mr. Greeley bas
been prepared, and will be presented to
the Convention as soon as the endorso
ment of .Mr. Greeley has been mode by
the Convention. In the lobbies cf the
Opera Honse w'll be a great profusion
of potted plants and flowers, and small
cypress trees, and a large number of
valuable oil paintings. The grand tri?
umphal arch in front of the Opera
House is almost completed, and will be
a counterpart of the triumphal arob,
onoe the pride of Paris. It will be
lavishly adorned with flags and ever?
greens, and have upon, its face the
famous words of McMahon. "Every
mountain has sent forth its rill and every
valley its stream, and lol the avalanche is
here." On the East and West side of
the arch will be the words "Democratic
National Convention, 1872." Over the
main entrance of the theatre, nearest
Eutaw street, is the Democratic legend
the words of General Jackson: "The
Constitution is still the object of our re?
verence; the bond of our Union; our de?
fence in danger; the source of our pros?
perity in peace." Over the entrance
nearest Howard street is the following
motto, from Thomas Jefferson: "The
whole art of government cor lists in the
art of being honest."
The other mottoes op the front of the
building, above the first story, are four
quotations from Washington's farewell
address: "I have already intimated to
you the dangers of parties in the State
founded on geographical discriminations;
let me now warn you against the baneful
effects of the spirit of party generally."
"The spirit of encroaobment tends to
consolidate the powers of all the depart?
ments in one. sud thus create, under
whatever form of government, a real
despotism." "Likewise avoid the neces?
sity of those over grown military estab?
lishments, which, under any form of go?
vernment, are to be regarded as particu?
larly hostde to Republican liberty."
"That your union and brotherly affection
may be perpetual; that the free Consti?
tution, which is the work of your hands,
may be sacredly main ted; thut its admi?
nistration in every department may be
Btamped with wisdom and virtue."
There was a meeting of bolters at the
Maryland Institute to-day. About 2UU
were present, a majority of whom were
spectators. There vere about twenty
five Simon pures, who will not support
Greeley, if nominated. Joseph H. Flan?
ders presided. Among those present
were Blanton Duncan, of Kentucky;
Joseph Sidles and William White, of
Illinois; Henry Sherwood, of Connecti?
cut, and William Heed, of Virginia. The
bolt is a failure. ,
NEW YORK, July 8-Evening.-Wm.
Cullent Bryant prints a card stating it is
impossible for him to receive any formal
nomination for the Presidency; and if
offered, equally impossible for him to
commit the folly of accepting.
The representatives of $2,000,000
ia North and South Carolina bonds met
to-day. They adopted a preamble stat?
ing that they were defrauded of the ac?
crued interest by dishonest politicians,
and resolved to co-operate with the State
authorities in the prosecution of the rob?
bers of the Treasury. Judge Willard
was spokesman.
Stokes made a statement, giving bis
version of the tragedy, as follows: I
went up by the ladies' entrance, and
when I got up, I saw a lady come out of
the parlor. She turned away ber head,
and I Baw I was mistaken, and I started
to go down stairs, when I saw Fisk com?
ing up stairs. He made a rnsh, and
when he got to the platform, he pulled
oat his pistol. I could not by any pos?
sibility be mistaken. I saw it as plain
as anything I ever saw. It was a silver
mounted pistol. I was in a line with
him then, so I jumped aside, and said,
"Don't fire," and pulled out my own
pistol and fired. I had it in my oat-side
coat pocket, or I wouldn't have had
time enongh to draw. I leaned on the
rail, and oooked with one hand and
fired. He held his pistol in both hands,
and as I fired, he cried. "Oh!" He
didn't stagger much at the first shot, and
E fired again. I knew he would shoot
me if I didn't fire. It was three or fonr
steps down. He dropped his pistol on
the stairs after the second shot There
?van no one near at the time. I had re?
ceived numerous warnings that Fisk
threatened to have my life.
Question-Did you intend to hit Fisk
when yon fired? Answer-Yes, sir.
Question-And knew your pistol was
loaded with four balls? Answer-Yes,
sir.
Miss Mansfield was also on the stand.
She gives a curions story. Fisk was a
rery moderate drinker. He called at her
house, and said unless Bbe returned to
aim, he would kill Stokes. Fisk said,
"Yon had better release me from this
ihing." Mansfield said, "Yes, if you
some ont pnblioly and acknowledge I
gras right, and the affidavits against me
?vere frauds." Fisk said there were so
nany people involved, he coald not.
Mansfield said, "Then I wont withdraw.''
Fisk, taking oat his revolver, said,
"Then I will kill Stokes." I told Stokes,
tad advised him to be careful.

ITALIAN FREEDOM.-The Italian Go?
vernment illustrates the new doctrine of
a "free cburoh in a free State," in this
way: Tho new law of civil marriage
makes any religious ceremony unneces?
sary. But as so many oontinao to get
married by the priests, the Government
bas now proposed a bill to fine any priest
500 francs who ventures to perform the
religious ceremony for any couple that
have not already first been married by
the magistrate. Civil marriage shall be
sufficient before the law, but there shall
be no religions marriage without the
oivil ceremony. In other words, God's
ordinance is null and void, and religious
marriage is no marriage. How would we
liku that in America? Shall we ever, as
a nation, go beyond the point of ignor?
ing all religion, and come to deny it?
What does Signor Gavazzi, tho Italian
mountebank, Radical adventine, say to
this? or, his "friend" Garibaldi, the
atheist and hater of Southern "rebels?"
The Raleigh Sentinel says: Governor
Caldwell has pardoned out of tho peni?
tentiary the notorious and infamous
John Everett, of Halifax. Everett for
years before his incarceration boro a vile
character in his section, and when sen?
tenced to the penitentiary all good citi?
zens rejoiced. He it was that incited
tho late revolt in the penitentiary, which
resulted in tho death of ono of tho uegro
convicts and dangerously wounding an?
other. Everett, it ia said, exerts quite a
largo influer.ee with the worst portion of
the negroes of Halifax, and hence it is
that our model Governor, Tod lt. Cald?
well, pardons him to put hint at work be?
fore the election.
Mr. W. J. Magrath, (a son of the
Hon. A. G. Magrath,) and Mr. W. P.
Bushell, of South Carolina, graduated a

ington, on the 4th of July.
Mr. Robert A. Mayo, an old an
highly-esteemed oitizen of Richmond,

A SAD GASE.-OU tho 26th ult., we
noted that a Texan foll, on Alabama
street, in what appeared to be a catalep?
tic fit. He had just arrived from Chat?
tanooga. Subsequently he was taken
care of by Mr. W. R. Elder, of Fair?
burn. That gentleman, in a letter (not
delivered) to Judge Pittman, of tim
oity, last Wednesday, says that the un?
fortunate man is acquainted with bis re?
latives in Texas, and he believes bim to
be altogether worthy of sympathy and
assistance.
Upon arriving here, on the 3d inst.,
he was prostrated on tbe corner of Mari?
etta and Broad streets witb a violent con?
vulsion, blood flowing profusely from bis I
month. Drs. Johnson and White came'
promptly to. his assistance. His first in?
telligent act was to 'communicate to Dr.
White the fact that he was a Mason, and
confided to him and this reporter certain
pupers about his person. From tueso it
appears that his name is Joseph Simms,
a native of Giles Oouuty, Tennessee. At
the breaking out of the late war his!
family lived in Texas, and ho enlisted in
tho regiment of Col. John B. Hood, who
once "charged" about Atlanta. He was
subsequently in Stonewall Jackson's bri?
gade, and then under Longstreet.
Three duys before the full of Peters?
burg he was wounded in seven places at
one charge-in the head, chin, cheek,
arm, hand, leg and groin, and from side
to side through the luugs. The wounds
are deeply marked. Being of very hardy
constitution he survived, and until about
a year ago has remaiued at a hospital in
Richmond, Virginia. Patriotic friends ?
then assisted him to Texas in search of
bis family. But they were gone. In
searching for them his money became
exhausted and his health broken down.
He boped to ti nd some of his relatives in
Kentucky and Tennessee, and started
thither on foot. He walked a large por?
tion of the way from Rusk County,
Texas, through these States. The Knox?
ville Press and Republican, of the 22d
ult., gives au account of his having had
two fits in that city, aud of tho truly
Christian aud Masonic attention which
he received from citizens there. This
paper says:
"He bas been on the way about three
months, and often suffered extreme wan'.
He is, ns bi fore stated, a Mason and u
profetsor of religion, and seems to bc
quite williug to bo relieved from his1
earthly Bufferings, feeling assured that
there is i\ 'rest prepared tor the weary;'
but says that he would like to see his
pareuts, brothers aud sisters once more
before his final departure."
Ouo of the papers isa "petition to the
kind hearted along his route to renner
bim whatever aid mid assistance lies in
their power," signed by fourteen men
whom wo eau vouch for as good citizens.
Also a recommendation by Mayor John
S. VanGilder to railroads, to help on the
poor man in search of bis kindred-some
of whom it is hoped he may find iu or
about Newberry, South Caroliua.
He had medical and friendly attention
in this city, aud was sent on bis way by
the Augusta train on Thursday night.
His appearance alone is enough to elicit
the sympathy and assistance of all pa?
triotic and tender hearts. Muy he re?
ceive more than a "pension" for huving
been literally covered with wouuds in de?
fence of Southern homes aud the honor
of the South.-Allanta Sun.
AN ALLEGED CASE OF ASIATIC CHOLERA. ,J
A case of supposed Asiatic cholera was
reported, yesterday, to Dr. E. H. Janes,
uoting City Sanitary Inspector. A sailor
was seized with cramps, in the boarding
house No. 80, Montgomery street, and
died after a short illness, the symptoms,
it is alleged, being plainly those of
Asiatic obolera. The body was nt once
removed by the health authorities to a !
Baie place end the boase thoronghly dis?
infected. Dr. Janes will thoroughly in?
vestigate the case and make a post mortem
examination of the body, in order to as?
certain whether it is u case of Asiatic
cholera or merely of aggravated obolera
morbus.-New York Tribune, Sjt/t.
WANTED, A RESTING PLACE.-Euglaud
is not alone in her objection to receive
deported Communists. Several States
on the French frontier have expressed
to the Governmeutof Versailles the same
unwillingness to receive these obnoxious j
exiles. It is to be hoped the French
Communists will profit by the past. We
believe this to be the only instance in
which Great Britain has positively re?
fused to allow refugees to lund on ber
shores; a striking proof of the abhorrence
in which the crimes committed by the
Communists are held by right thiukiug
people.
It will bo same relief to un outraged
public opinion to learn that crimiual
charges have beeu preferred against the
conductor and engineer of the railway
train which ran into another ou the
South-Side Railway on the Fourth.
Furthermore, the railway company,
knowing that the collision was tbe result
A tho carelessness of their employees,
have commenced settliug all reasonable
claims without demur. Two of tho in?
jured pasBougors have died.

Tnn JEWISH CAUSE.-Seldom bas
there been such a spontaneous outflow
of uo8eotariaa charity aud trae Christ?
ianity as was manifested in a recent
meeting in London, to protest against
the atrocities which have been inflicted
apon the Jews of Hon mania and Bessara?
bia. The first formal speech was made
by Lord Shaftesbury, who represents
the low Church party. He was followed
by the Bishop of Gloucester, who speaks
in the name of the moderately High
Church. The Broad Church was rep?
resented by letters from Dean Stanley
:snd the Bishop of Peterborough, and
Nou-comformity by Mr. Edwarf|Bainer,
j Lord Shaftesbury, who expressed hie
profound veneration and love for the
Jewish people, declared that the out?
rages wore a disgrace, not only to civili?
zation but to Christianity. The Bishop
of Gloucester was equally emphatic in
his denunciation of the tortures imposed
upon the suffering Jews. All the speak?
ers demanded for tho Jews protection
against tho risk of future outrages, and
equality of civil rights. An influential
j deputation was appointed to wait on
Lord Granville and request that he will
i employ all the influence of England in
the cause.
SEVERE ACCIDENT.-Jus. Bryan, Esq.,
an old citizen of oar city, was fearfully
mangled at Mr. Samuel Rowland's fac?
tory, on Thursday morning. While at?
tending the plaining machine his left
hand was canght in the machinery and
torn to shreds. He exhibited a great
deal of nerve in tho trying ordeal to
which he was subjected, for while the
arm and hand wet o only connected by a
few ligature muscles, he asked a by?
stander to cut them with a razor, which
being done, he requested Mr. Howland
to go to Haleigh and get a dootor to hi? 1
house by the time of bis arrival. He
then rode into town, a distance of four
miles. His arm was amputated by Dr.
E. Burke Haywood, assisted by Dr. F.
J. Haywood, Jr., and he is at this writ?
ing doing well. Mr. Bryan is seventy
years of age, and this exhibition of forti?
tude on his part is remarkable.

One Ethan A. Allen, of New York,
wrote a letter to the Herald, a few days
since, informing the publio that Col.
Ethan Allen, Chairman of the Greeley
and Brown National Executive Com?
mittee, was no relation of his. He
stated further that his father was a re?
volutionary soldier, and that he himself
was a grant man, for which he was proad,
and regretted that any Ethan Allen
should support Greeley. The Greeley
Allen gives the Grant one a Roland for
uu Oliver in a note terse and to the
point, as follows:
.'ASTOR HOUSE, N. Y., Juno 25.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: I

Ethan Allen of revolutionary fame, nor
am 1 such an Egotistical Ass as my name?

SOLON JOHNSON AGAIN.-Solon John?
son, the colored conservative of Virginia,
writes as follows in a letter to the Rich?
mond Enquirer: "Oar country may be?
come, by the election of Greeley and
Brown, really, what it is now only in
name, the United States of America. It
cannot be done, in my opinion, under a
continuance of the present administra?
tion. I am sure I speak advisedly when
I say that a large proportion of the co?
lored men of Virginia take a similar
view of the situation. They see in the
new movement a promise of more kind?
liness and less proscription; more oberi
ty and less intolerance; more love ac 1
less hatred; more of the sun-shine of
temporal prosperity, and less of the oold
twilight of poverty's hard struggle."
BRUTAL MURDER.-Last Tuesday, in
the town of Monticello, Jasper County,
Ga., Gilbert D. Greer shot dead, as we
are informed, in cold blood and without
provocation, Mr. Joseph A. Middle?
brook. We cannot learn the reason why
tbis brutal murder was committed, but
we trust that Greer, who fled at once, will
be arrested, and the case judiciously in?
quired into. We notice that a reward of
Si,OOO is offered for Greer, who is de?
scribed us follows: Thitty years old, six
feet high, sallow complexion, spare
built, thin side whiskers. Greer was a
brother-in-law of his victim.
