COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, September 12,1872 For President of the United States, HORACE GREELEY, of New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ BROWN, of Missouri. An Error Corrected. Oar attention has been oalled to the card of Mr. Joseph Woodruff, in which he has. according to oar reading, utterly misapprehended the case of GibBon and Galick against the Treasurers, aud the ruling of Jadge Willard thereon. The case and tho judgment pronounced by the Jadge have nothing to do with the question of advertising in the news? papers. The case and the deoree is aimed at the current and permanent printing, for which there appears to have boen no appropriation, and in whick it is alleged that there hare been many frauds. As to the pabilo ad? vertising, that matter was not embraced in the complaint of tho plaintiffs, nor is it covered by tho deoree of Jadge Wil? lard. We can oss?re the Charleston Neves, npon good authority, that there is no reason why any bona fide oontract for pnblio advertising should not be paid, nnless the reason bo found in the fact that all of the money in the treasury has gone for illegal and frandalent par poses, which latter Jadgo Willard has endeavored to restrain in fatare, so that all honest creditors (the advertising in? cluded) may bo paid. We do not under? stand what a respectable journal, like the News, can moan by suoh a phrase as "the pranks of the courts." If there have been any "pranks" in this matter, we have failed to discover them, what? ever there might have been of "pro? crastination" (a mild word) "of execu? tive officials." We agree with tho News that "this is business, not politics;" bat whether business or politics, wo sboald always be sore that we are right. What appropriation the Legislature made for public advertisements, we are not in? formed at this writing. We only mean to say that tho deoree of Jadge Willard, as we understand it, does not stand in the way of the payment of any honest demand against the State for which pro? vision has been made by law. POLITICAL, JOTTINGS.-"T/he Greeley groundswell has reaohed little Delaware. A Democratic Mayor was elected ia Wil? mington, the other day, for the first time trinco 1860. There is no steading against the united strength of the Demo? crats and Liberals. If President Grant's skin were not as thick und tough as the epidermis of a superannuated rhinoceros, the censures which the Americao people BO justly heap upon him would long since have im? pelled him to ohain himself to a couple of bars of pig-metal and conceal himself at the bottom of the Potomac. The President says the White House is andorgoing repairs. This is probably in accordance with the custom of re? pairing a house for which a new tenant is expected. General Bonjamiu F. Butler pat tho finish to his Millford speoch by exclaim? ing: "We want four more years of Grant !" Oa tho 25th of August, 1867, General Bonjamiu F. Butler wrote a letter to a Mr. Jones, of Noonah, Wis., ia which he said: "Grant's eleotion will bo a misfortune, because it <9ill put in a maa without a head or heart, indifferent to buuiau suffering and impotent to go? vern." Butler had botter bo bottled up again. A carpet-bagger came home from a Southern city the other day, and told his friends thusly: "There was a motion to run mo for Mayor, but tho majority of the citizens waated me to run out of the town, and I-came away." It is hardly possible to doubt that Mr. Greeloy will bo tho next Pr?sident of the United States, when we consider that the Bolid Democratic) vote will bo cast for him, and that so many of tho leadors and organs of tho old Republican party are on the Liberal side. President Lincoln's Cabinet was composed of Wm. H. Sew? ard, Secretary of State; Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury; E. M. Stanton, Secretary o' War; Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy; Caleb B. Smith, Secretary of the Interior; Mont? gomery Blair, Postmastor-Geaeral; and Edward Bates, Attorney-General. Stan? ton, Smith and Batos are dead, but Stan? ton gave his opinion in articulo mortis that Grant is not a f?t ruler for the coun? try. Chase, Welles and Blair are zea? lous ia their udvocucy of Mr. Greeley, and Sewurd, though retired from activo political life, is also for bim. Schurz, Sumner, Chase, Welles. Tipton, Trum? bull, Palmer, Banks, Julian, und the other Republican leaders who have do olared for Greeloy must surely have a following far more tbau euffioieut to se? cure bis eleolion. Correspondence mt tile Pheonix. ALBANY, N. Y" Sept. 9, 1872. Mn. EDITOR: Oa Sitarduy aftoroooD, 7th September, a party o? us ?eft New York oity" for this place, eu route for points farther North. A do URO fog on the river delayed our arrival until near noon on Sunday-too late to make con? nection with tho trnin going North. Shat np here the remainder of the day, we determiued to taru our detention to some purpose; BO, immediately aftor dinner, we went in search of the Albany penitentiary, where we knew some of our fellow-oitizens were confined under foul as woll as fair pretexts. Arriving at the prison, we entered that portion of these mont lovely and romantic premises appropriated asa family residence for tho Superintendent, (len. Pillsbury. We were mot somewhat cordially by the General, and when tbe objoot of our visit was made known, ho rather peremp? torily denied us the privilege of seeing any of those mon; remarking, that "it was a rule of the prison that no inter? views should bo allowed with tho inmates on Sunday." He said religious services were held in the building ou Sabbath morning for the benefit of the inmates, and during tho rest of the day they were looked up in their cells. But immedi? ately ho asked, "Whom do you wish to see?" Remembering no other name than that of Col. Brown's, we mentioned it, and forthwith he replied, you may see him-instantly ordering one of his subalterns to bring "Squire Brown" to the room; remarking, at tho same timo, we were privileged to talk with him aa we pleased. Presently, Col. Brown came tipping into the room, quito smilingly, and at the same time bowing to Gen. P., and remarking he had not seen the General since his ro? turo from Europe. "No," replied the Genoral; "bat you know. Brown, I can't seo you all in a day. How have you been since I left?" "Quite well, Gene? ral," he replied, turning to ns and shak? ing ns heartily by the Land, recognizing one or two of the party. He had many questions to ask and more to answer. The Colonel said they were most kindly treated by the superintendent, and heard regularly from home. Their letters are handed in every Sunday morning, and they are allowed to write borne once a month. We asked how their time was employed. He said they were generally working at the shoe trade, but not learn? ing much, as each had a special duty to perform. For instance, his duty was to out the little groove around the edge of the soles of tbe shoes, in whioh is im? bedded tho row of stitches, und uothiug more. He said it wus not hard work, and none of them were required to work very hard. The Colonel said, "As for myself, I have been more or less ailing since Jane, and the General has kindly allowed mo the privileges of the hospital, where I have any quantity of good books to read, and I pass the time without grumbling, but looking through these bars, and the liberty-" hero the old gentleman filled with tears and ceased talking. We could offer no other condo? lence than Bilenoe, while our very fea? tures must have told him our deepest sympathy was felt for him. That this man has ever been guilty of a orime, or of conspiracy against the peace and qaiet of the State or country, no Bane man for a moment can believe. But be is true to. his past record, and hus no tin .skiing to perform that tho prison bars may bo removed from around him. Feuring our visit might become intru? sive if lengthened further, we bude the Colonel ndieu und the Superintendent n farewell, thanking bim for the privilege of thu interview. The impression with each of ns wns, that our men uro cer? tainly fortunato in being sent to thc Albauy prison, in preference to being confined in Columbia. The humane treatment they receive nt the hands of their large hearted Superintendent most assuredly greatly assuages tho horrors of prison lite uwuy off in this Northern clime. D. WYATT AIKEN. Tn? WOOJ.V-PKMUX HOMICIDE.-The Charleston papers publish u long account of the inquest held over tho body of Perrin. The following is the verdict of tho jury: Boltz (prisoner's counsel) asked the ooronor to churge thu jury to tho efl'ejt that they must bring in a verdict of man? slaughter. Tho cor mor replied that it was not tho duty of a jury of inquest to decido upon the degree of murder, but upon the manner of tho killing. Ho then told tho jury that their choice lay between throe verdicts, namely, whether Perrin hnd boen killed accidentally, iu self-defence or feloniously. Tho room was then cleared of outsiders, and tho jury, after a consultation of about five minutes, rendered a verdict of felonious killing; tho foreman remarking, at tho same time, that they considered the act a wilful and delibcruto murder. Woolf was then committed to jail for trial, for mardor, at the next term of tho Court of Genoral Sossions. The inquest was con? cluded at 5 o'clock P. M. Just before that hour, the funeral of the murdered mau paused down Broad street, in tho direction of King, and created quito an excitement among tho crowd. ELECTION TOWN COUNCIL.-Tho elec? tion for Town Council came ol? ou Mon? day last, resulting in tho election of L. D. Bowio, for Intendant; T. M. Chris? tian, Isaao Kennedy, M. Sanders and. Thomas Derricoat for Wardons. The regular Republican tioket was elected. [Abbeville Medium. Zack Chandler told the people of Orango, N. J., tho other night, that ho had lookod all over Detroit and only fouud three Greeley ltepablioaup. Tho Detroit Free Press think* it must have beou the same night that bo looked all over the yard to hud the key-hole of the front door. FULL EXPOSITION AND CONFESSION OF THC FRAUD -ODO of the delegates tolls the whole truth about bow the Grant Republicans got up the Louisville Con? vention. Iiis name is Conrad, and he comes from Philadelphia. He says: "To the 7 y we Democracy of the United States: ".Representing tho Seventeenth Dis? trict of Pennsylvania in the Convention assembled iu this eity, under the call of Blanton Duncan, I made several attempts to-duy in the Convention to be heard. This was denied me, and in the most discourteous manner, by the President, who himself occupied at least two hoars iu a foolish gasconade about Dickens' Dolly Varden. My object was to expose the treason of the Cameron-Dart run ft thieves of my own State. The Pennsyl? vania delegation was composed of all Grant men, except myself, not ono of whom eveu intended to vote for the nominee of this Convention. Their transportation to this Convention was obtained and paid for by the Grant peo? ple. My own und those of five others, ooch representing a district iu Pennsyl? vania, I procured in the oflico of the Grunt State Centrul Committee of Penn sylvuniuut Philadelphia, coruerof Eighth and Walnut streets, over a well-kuown tuiloring establishment. For this trans? portation, I had an order from Sipes, Chairman of the Bourbon State Cent ?al Committee of Penusylvunia. That order was obeyed by tho State Treasurer of Pennsylvania, Bob Mackey, who is well known as one of Cameron's subjects. The band of music that accompanied us was furnished und paid for by thc same Grant people, and our little banner that was carried by George Mountjoy is the same that designated tho seats in the Badical Convention of the 5th of June of the Pennsylvania delegation that nomi? nated U. S. Grant, and which was pre? sided over by Thomas Settle, the rebel of North Carolina. This is the sum and substance of what I intended to say had the President allowed rae to proceed, and I now assure all of my Democratic friends who may ohanco to seo this com? munication that what I have stated here aro facts, all of which I am prepared to prove. W. FISK CONRAD, "Seventeenth Congressional Di6t. Pa." "THE CARPET-BAOOEKS WORSE THAN TWEED."-The Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, Chairman of the State Committee (Democratic) of New York, at the Nominating Convention in Syra? cuse, used the following strong language on tho subj oct of carpet-bag rascality in the South. Language so forcible, touch? ing facts so well known, can hardly fail to impress these to whom it is addresbcd and to reach the ear of tho public: I say to-day, iu the face of Heaven and before all mankind, that the carpet? bag governments ure infinitely worse than Tweed's government of the city of Now York. [Applause. J If I dared to iucito the Democracy, and to lead thom to overthrow that government, why should I not stand here to-day to incite them to the glorious old standard that waves for equal rights and just govern? ment over all the continent of America? [Applause.] While the robberies in the oity of New York may perhaps count some $20,000,000, tho robberies in these carpet-bag governments of tho South count ?200,000,000. For every dollar that has been stolen among ns, and against which you and I and every De? mocrat in the laud raised his indignant protest-I say for overy such dollar five, aud perhaps ten, have been stolen by these carpet bag governments of tho South. Aye, my fellow-Democrats, tho great metropolis may perhaps bear the loss of S20.000.000, but how can the people of the South, impoverished by civil war, blighted in their industry, crushed in their property-how caa they stand tho enormous robbories of the go? vernments that aro sot over them? If this be a true and just picture of tho situation-and eau nny mau deny it? does any man deny it?-why does not the administration of Gen. Grunt rectify a national wrong, a natioual crime, a public evil that cries out to all humanity for redress? ATTENTION, SOLDIERS!-Tho Manches? ter Daily Union publishes the following communication, signed "A Soldier:" My attention has been called to a speech of Beu. Butler, wherein ho de? clares thut a vote for Greeley is a vote to burn school-houses and violato women. Now, I protest against soldiers listening in silence to such infamous slanders from such a source. Who hus not hoard of Butler's beastly order in Now Orleans, which forbado refined ladies enjoying the freo air of heaven on public prome? nades, oh penalty ot soldiers being al? lowed, yen, invited, to insult aud outrngo them? Once moro, I protest against tho charge thut our soldiers wero starved in rebel prisons, without Butler and Stan? ton's criminal responsibility. They broke the cartel by which it was agreed that all prisoners should be exchanged within ten days. Written history proves this; but moro vividly still does it occur to mo and every othor prisoner, because wo aro living actors in that history. Wo know that till the autumn of 1862, there was a written agreement between the belligerents that prisoners should bo ex? changed iu ten days; and this was faith? fully carried out until Butler wanted to iutroduce runaway slaves iuto the ar? rangement, and Stanton declared that ho "would not exchange full-fed men for d-d skeletons." Northern mothers who lost sons iu Southern prisons may thank Butler for their bereavement. SWEEPSTAKES COTTON IN NEW YORK. The sweepstakes balo of cotton raised by W. B. MoShaw, of Mississippi, which drew the prize of $1,000 at tho St. Louis Fair, was received by a cotton firm at New York on Wednesday last, and sold at 46 cents per pound. The proceeds will be devoted to the Orphan Society of Kansas City. THE ALLEGED NATHAN MUKDEHEII. The arrest in Washington of the alleged murderer of Mr. Nathan is the most startling news of the day. Moro than two years havo passed since tho victim of one of tho foulest orimes on record was found weltering in his blood at his residence in one of the most frequented streets of this city. A dark mystery has ever nineo overhung that terrible tra? gedy. Oar baffled guardians of the peaoe had apparently given up nil hope of finding the author or authors of the murder. Nor does it seem, after all, that tho arrest of Billy Forrester, the mau with numerous aliases, has brought thom nearer to thu cud; for there is n strong grouud for the belief that the po? lice have, on the merest shadow of sus? picion, rashly fastened tho murder upon Billy Forrester. Au unwillingness to acknowledge themselves beaten might have bad something to do witb this. Billy Forrester's record is cortuinly bad enough to convict him of almost any crimn merely on appearances-"comme capable du /ait," us they would do it in a French criminal court. Tbe faot that bc hus been hiding ever since tho night of tho murder is so fur the strongest evi? dence against him. It should be remona beted, bowover, that he is n fugitive from justice for various crimes, bur? glary among the number-crimes numer? ous und heinous enough to consign him to tbe tender mercies of a State prison for life. Without being necessarily guilty of tbe murder of Mr. Nathan, he hud, therefore, the beat of reasons to keep out of the way. Hunted down like a wild beast, he has lived a life of con? stant ('read, wandering about the coun? try to evade capture, which has been accomplished at last. Whether it will bo possible to convict him remains, however, yet to be seeu. [Nc tc York Herald. FAINTED DOGS.-A recent traveler iu South America, who accompanied a number of duennas on a tapir buut, says that, besides the hunters, their party composed mainly of women and boys of the village, together with a score or two of dogs. Of the latter, lie adds: ''These dogs were curious oreutures to look ut. A stranger, ignorant of the customs of tho Jumuas, would have been ut some loss to account for the peculiarity of their color. Such dogs I havo never seen before. Some were of u bright scarlet, others were of yellow, others blue, others mottled with a variety of tints. What could it mean? But I knew well enough. Tho dogs had been dyed. Yes, it is iv custom among many tribes of South Americuu Indians to dye, not only their own bodies, but tho hairy couts of their dogs with brilliant color.-*, obtained from vogetnblo juices, such as the red huitie, tho yellow roca, and the blue of tho white iudigo. The light gray, often whit^, hair of these annuals favors the stuining process, and tho effect produced jileases tho oyo of their savage masters; ou my eye, tho effect was strunge und fantastical. I could not restruin my laughter when I first scanned tho curs in their fanciful coats. Picture to yourself a pack of scarlet, orange and purple dogs." WHAT ONE MOTHER GAVE.-Anthony and Susan Colo, who now reside on Brick Quarter, in Orange County, seven miles from Hillsboro, gave to the Con? federate army eight sons, to wit: Allen, Anthony, Stephen, William, Forgueon, Thomas, Samuel and Levi. William was killed near Petersburg; Allen fell nt the side of his brother Levi, who that day, solitary and alone, buried bim; Stephen was killed in battle ou tho same day, but his body wan never afterwards seeu by his friends; Ferguson, who bo louged to tho Western army, died of disease carly in the war nt Newburn. Throe-to wit: Thomas, Samuel and Levi-survived thc war and roturned to their home and parents, and now resido in Orange, respected and esteemed by all thoir acquaintances. Thus has ono mother given to tho lost cause fivo grown-up sons, who now sleep in honored graves in North Carolina, Virginia and Mississippi. Three remain to cheer her, on her evening of life, by a virtuous and godly life. [Hillsboro (AT. C.) Recorder. IA IT TUVE?-Wo understand thut a negro child, about four years old, died iu this city ?evcral days ago, aud tho?o with whom it lived (wo did not learu whether it had a father and mother or uot) ruado several effort.} to get somo of thoir colored friends to ussist iu burying it, but uonn of them would lend a helping baud. Finally, after it had boen dead four days, it was carried to tho cemetery by four colored women, with two or three others following in tho procession, and by them was buried. This is a bad ac? count, to go abroad, of tho colored peo? ple of Charlotte. Wo really thought, from tho largo processions that we havo Been turu out on tho occasions of burials, that they had more respect for their race tinu this. Shameful. J Charlotte Observer. FEARFULLY QUICK PUNISHMENT.-Tobe Dardou, (colored,) attempted lost Satur? day, to commit a ropo upon a littlo girl tou years of age, tho daughter of W. P. Pride, who resides hear Springfield, Ro? bertson County, Tenn. Tho screams of the child caused othor children to go to hor assistance, tv lieu Durden abandoned his purpose aud returned to work near by. Mr. Prido wont after him with u double-barreled shot-gun, drove bim to the spot where tho rapo was ot tem pi ed, and gavo him tho choice of deulu by hanging or shooting. Hu chose thu former, and was swung up. thus expiat? ing his offence where it was committed. A lady living ut Graham's Turnout, on the South Carolina R ulroud, opened a drawer several days ago, to get uu article of clothing, und found a rattle? snake four feet long co 'ed up therein. A faint scream and death to the bunke followed. No further harm done. A NATIONAL COLORED LIBERAL CON? VENTION.-We Lave received a circular requesting "all negro men of the United States, friendly to tho Liberal Republi? can movement, to meet in a convention at Louisville, Kentucky. September 28, 1872." This call for a "National Colored Liberal Convention," of all who ore in favor of the election of Greeley and Brown, is signed by Wm. H. Chambers, aud addressed from the Iliberal Com? mittee Rooms, Indianapolis, Ind. It has the endorsement nf tho Rev. J. B. Wi ny ard and Rev. B. M. Williams, as well as that of Wm. H. Chambers, uuilor tho head of Executive Committee. Conventions of every kind aud color ure cropping out continually nt this season, and why should there not be this colored diversen at Louisvile, as well as that of the straight-out Bourbon Demo? crats? We do not suppose the gather? ing of colored Liberal Republicans will have much influence upon the great masi of negro voters in tho South, but it might have nome upon those of the Northern States. Tho lino is strictly drawn ia tho Sooth according to race. The colored voters are as solidly for ! Grant and Wilson us tho white voters are for Greeley and Browu. But it is well for intelligent negroes to discuss tho merits of the opposing candidates and the principles they represent, though it would be better that parties and con? vections should not be based upon race. I'btro is, we fear, great trouble in pros? pect from political parties in thc South being divided strictly by race; and if tho intelligent negroes of the North can do anything to prevent that and to avert tho evil consequences, we encourage the movement.-New York Herald. GRANT'S ORGAN ON TUE LOUISVILLE FAILURE.-The New York Times, of Thursday, says: "Mr. O'Conor's positive refusal to bo the candidate of the Louisville Conven? tion has seriously modified tho probable uctive influence of the movement on the Presidential canvass. Hnd ho accepted, und, with Mr. Adams, been represented in each State by an electoral ticket, he might have drawn a considerable 'struight-out' vote. But iL is not likely that iiny one else who can be selected will do BO. It is very difficult to organ? iza u miuority, every member of which knows the minority is n hopeless one for n national contest. To this task, Mr. O'Couor would have lent the assistance of a national n potation, und, had he takeu an activo part in the canvass, of brilliant and original abilities. These aro not likely to be fouud elsewhere, aud a movement for a third party may bo re? garded us having como to un end." THE DESTRUCTION OF TIMBERI-The Buffalo Advertiser has some timely re? marks upon the necessity, daily becom? ing more manifest, of protecting the rapidly disappearing timber of the Mid? dle States. All over tho country, our extensive forests are being recklessly cut down. At present, tho wood-lands of tho whole country comprito about 153, 310,000 acres. The Southern States ure remurkubly well wooded, the twelve States from Maryland to Tennessee ave? raging 52 per cent. The New England States have 33 per cent, of their farm area in forests, the Middle States 28 per cent., and tho Central States, from West Virginia to Nebraska, averaging 32 per cent. West Virginia has 51 per cent., Kentucky 48, Ohio 31, Indiana 39, UH nois 19, Iowa IC, Kansas ll, Nebraska 10, California 4. The territories are not rich in forests, except Washington, which has 44 per cent, of its farm area in wood-land. t. THE OLDEST PATENT ON RECORD.-An application was recently made ut the Patent Office for a patent on a Bort of paddle or spado attachment to tho end of a gun, having a sharp point, and which, it was claimed, would be service? able in digging holes in the ground, throwing up entrenchments, Ac. The examiner to whom tho application was referred happened to be au old and close reader af tho Scripture, as was shown by his returning tho application endorsed "Rejected. Not patentable. See Deu? teronomy xxiii., 13." By reference to tho text named, it will be seen that thc invention alluded to is of pretty ancient dato, and is probably the oldest patent ou record. DEATH OF Ex-ALDERMAN POTTER. Iutelligonco wus received in this city, yesterday, of the death of ex-Alderman Lorenzo T. Pottor, of this city, which occurred at Nahant Point, R. I., last Thursday, the 5th inst. Mr. Potter was, for about thirty-five years, a resident of this city, where ho ruado many friends by his urbanity, pnblic spirit and fideli? ty to his trusts". Ho was born near Pro? vidence, R. I., in 1816, and passed the early years of his lifo in that city. [Charleston Neics. DEATHS.-'Another soldier, bolouging to thu garrison stationed boro, named Patrick Eugun, a nativo of the County Cork, Ireland, died in tho hospital at the barracks, on last Friday evening, the Otb inst., from typhoid dysentery.

Brown, who lives ut Mars H lu ff Ferry, met with a serious loss on Sunday night last. On that night his btoro, containing among other things about twenty or thirty bales of cotton, was barned. The loss is quite heavy, possibly about $5,000. It is thought to be the work of an incendiary. Bocal lt? ma. CITT MATTBBS.-Tho price of single copies of the PHONIX is five cents. A bnrsted pipe, (as it was reported,) ciiUBod the wuter to be shot off from the city, yesterday morning; the real canse, however, waB scarcity of wood. Several vehicles, among them one be? longing to ex-Alderman Miuort, were smashed, yesterday-the horses becom? ing alarmed at the procession by the Great Eastern Circus. A mnoh-needed and oontinued rain, yesterday, bad the effect of cooling the atmosphere and laying the dust. A cotemporary says (and we endorse it:) Tho Greenville and Colombia Rail? road, under the close management of Colonel Thomas Dodamead, is fast be? coming ono of the best paying short lines in the country, and many improve? ments are being made along the line, all of whieh require much care, expense and attention. The following is the programme of music by the band of the 18th Infantry for this afteruoon, at 5 o'clock: N. C. ?. Quickstep-Riotzel. Sceno and Aria, Naburhodanosar- - Verdi. Quadrille, without Title-Strauss. I Capricia-Hagen. Orlando Galop-Keller. The following named gentlemen were yesterday examined by the Medical Faculty of tho University of South Ca? rolina, and the examination proving satisfactory, were duly licensed to con? duct the business of pharmaceutists, druggists and apothecaries, viz: Messrs. W. E. McCreight, Cheraw; W. E. Pel? ham, Columbia; W. L. Mauldin, Green ! ville; - Cram, Bamberg; - Townsend, Cokesbury. Ors. S. S. Marshall and M. G. Berry, being practicing physicians, were licensed as pharmaceutists, Ac, without examination. PHONIXIANA.-Never give a man ad? vice unless he asks you for it, and then the less you give the better. There are three things a man ought always to keep clean-his shirt-bosom, his face and his conscience. The Creeks have elected u full-blooded negro to the chieltainship of their tribe . "Lo, the poor Indianl" There are three doctors on the Grant electoral ticket of Texas. The people of Texas should see that the returns are not doctored. Yesterday was the 380th anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. J. J. Bagley, the Grant candidate for Governor of Michigan, can shake bands with Brother Wilson. He was a Know Nothing once. The main reason why the Grant party don't want to "clasp hands" is because if they opened their paws their stealings might fly away. TUE MONSTER EXHIBITION.-The street parade of the Great Eastern Circus, Menagerie, etc., was novel and attractive. It consisted of an elegantly-appointed band chariot, twenty-five cages-one of them surmounted by Herr Lengel and several of bis performing animals-fol? lowed by four or five camels, two buffa? loes, an elephant, etc, a number of extra fine-looking "ring" horses, and a cal? liope, or steam piano, which gave forth "Shoo Fly" and other popular airs, Prior to the opening of the doors, thew was a very successful balloon ascension, Tho attractions inside the tent were firs! claps. The collection of animals is va ried and extensive-the moat admir?e den being the ono which contained ? lioness and 'her two cubs-tho latte] playful little creatures. The performanci ia tho ring was much admired. Th< riding ana posturing by little Miss Car roll was excellent; the trapeze perform ance truly fearful; the tumbling wonder fal. Herr Lengel wound up the exhibi tion by putting Iiis beasts throngh i course of jumping, etc. Tho crowd ii tho afternoon was tho largest wo hav ever seen ata day exhibition; while a night there was a jam.
