TooNBs ASD DoUGLAs.-Senator Toombs,


TooNBs AYD DoUGLAs.-Senator ToomDS,
in his recent speech in Georgia, denounced
the doctrines of the ultra Southern Rights
party, and censured the position of his col
league, Senator Iverson, and his declaration
of adherence to the fortunes, now apparently
50 fiattering of the Illinois aspirant, taking
the ground, as Douglas does, that our pres
ent remedy, if we need any for the protec-
ton of slave property, and the rights of slave
owners in the Territories, is the Courts of
the Federal Judiciary, and emphatically de-
claring that he would not insist upon the
passage of any more laws for our protection,
because even the insisting upon that, would
drive off Northern Democrats. The Senator
has probably forgotten how he opposed the
submission of our rights in the Territories to
tie adjudication of the Courts, as proposed
in the Clayton Compromise of ls4s. Then
he was willing to drive off the Northern
Wings, with whom he was acting-to dis
rupt the Wing party-even to let chaos
come again, rather than submit to the Judi
ciary. The fiery and eloquent young Hot
spur of ls4s, as gently as sucking dove,
bowed the knee to Black Douglas in 1859.

pS- The Hope Hose COMPANY, No. 2, of
Philadelphia, is now attending the National
Fair at Chicago. From that city they will
proceed to st. Louis, and participate in the
Fi:emen's Celebration in that city on the
2sth inst. This company have with them a
beautiful little steam fire engine, of which
the Republican gives the following descrip-
ton: alt was manufactured by Reiney,
Neiffc Co., Philadelphia; weighs only
5000 pounds, including water and fuel; is
invariably drawn by ten men, and can
throw stream almost equal to our largest
sized steam engines, and that, too, with only
sixty pounds of steam"

THE GREAT EASTERN CELEBRATION AT

THE GREAT EASTERN CELEBRATION AT
PoRTLASD.--Beside the ball, dinner and
military display, the programme of the GER
emonies in the city on the arrival of the
Great Eastern will be conducted on the
grandest scale. The whole city will be il
Illuminated, artillery fired, and an excursion
down the harbor will be arranged. The
Committee of the City Government has also

Buchanan and his Cabinet, to Gen. Scott to
the Governor of Canada, to Gen. Williams,
Commander of the British forces in North

CRESCENT Cry GALLERY.

n@- The gymnasium, that has been put
in operation at Indianapolis, is likely TO
prove success. The report OF the Treas
urer for the quarter ending Sept. IL, shows
balance in the treasury of 1888 % So
long as there is cash on hand, the institution
will be sustained. One of the most inter-
esting features connected with the gymnas-
ium, is the part the ladies take in it. They
are regular visitants, amusing and strength
ening themselves by rolling ten pins, and
exercising in various ways. The exercise is
said to color their cheeks in way much
superior to any cosmetic. The Board has
given permission to the young ladies of Nc
Leans Female Seminaryto attend the Gym
nasium every Saturday, for the purpose of
exercise. This will be an additional attrac-
ton to that school.
Why can we not establish gymnasium
in our city 1t might be organized in con-
nection with, our Reading Room, and would
not be found to be dead weight on that
Institution. The merits of these places of
recreation have been fully discussed, and
generally conceded. Outside OF all merit
as to the benefit derived from exercise, they
would prove to be great promoters of moral
ity, by furnishing place of resort to those
who would not be interested in, or likely to
attend, a reading room. Young mechanics,
after finishing their days labor, naturally
inquire for some place to go, aud, if no other
place of entertainment is offered, they are
apt to seek the billiard tables or ten-pin al
leys, which, though innocent amusements in
themselves, are SO associated with intoxi-
eating liquors as to prove injurious to those
who make business of visiting the places
where they are kept. If n gymnasium was
established, unconnected with, and free
from, such influences, large number who
are now found in the saloons, spending
their money for that which is positive in
jury. would be found spending their even
ings there. An hours exercise would in
duce nights sweet repose, which, in turn,
would give healthful body and cheerful
mind to the next duy's labors.

MORE MORMON OuTRAGKs. last mails
from Salt Lake bring accounts of Mormon
outrages. Aletter says:
Sergeant Pike, of the 10th infantry, was
shot and killed on the l5th ult.. while walk.
ing on the street, near the Salt Lake House.
Mr.. Frank Mcneil, having been uniustly
imprisoned in 1857, while endeavoring 10
reach California, lately instituted a suit for
damages against Brigham Young and other
Mormons. During the progress of his suit
several attempts were made to kill him, of
which one proved successful. Considerable
excitement was caused by this act among
the Gentle portion of the citizens, but the
law is As powerless now to touch Mormon
offenders as it was previous 10 the entry Of
the army into Utah.

ANTIOCH CoLLEGE.-Rev. Thomas Hill, Of
Waltham, Mass, was inaugurated as Presi-
dent of Antioch College, on the 9th inst
The ceremonies were quite imposing, as
well as entertaining. The new Presidents
inaugural address gave a sketch of COM
plete education, which he made to consist of
i, the training of the senses 2, that of
the intellect; 3, of the feelings; 4, OF the
will. There was a large crowd in attend
ance, who were convinced that the mantle
of Horace Mann had fallen upon proper
successor.

HORACE GREELEY DELIVERED uP.-Heber
g. Kimball made a speech at the Mormon
Tabernacle the other day, in the course of
which he disposed of Horace Greeley as fol-
lows:
Speaking of thistles reminds us of bright
idea of Greeley's. He thought it would be
wise notion to SOW Canada thistles all
along the plains, between here and the
States, to feed stock upon. Why, that would
kill all the cattle with the bloody murrain,
and prick us to death. So much for Gree
ley's judgment What fruitful imagina-
ton he must havel He is the greatest liar
on the face of the earth. Why, bless your
souls, he is the father of all liars. He will
90 to hell and be the father of all liars there.

trouble in Wayne county. Messrs. Meredith,
Lynde and Beitzell, submitted their claims
as candidates for the Republican nomination
for county Clerk, at the April election last
spring. Mr.. Meredith was selected as the

instead of supporting him, are giving their
influence to Mr.. Schlater, the Democratic

says, the blacks are going to whip us THE

"Electioneering is carried on briskly, both

The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CovoDR's AND
BRIGHrs FRANK.-A few days ago the post
master at Washington refused to send doc
uments bearing the frank of Mr.. Covode,
although lie called on the postmaster and
acknowledged the franking having been
done by himself or clerk, while he permits
documents bearing Mr.. Brights frank, al
though that gentleman has not been within
Eve hundred miles of Washington for
months, to pass through the mails unques-
toned.
If the law requires the frank to be writ
ten by the member himself, it ought to be
enforced as well against the Democrats as
against the Republicans. This government
does not belong exclusively to the support
ers of the Executive, yet.

TELRGRAPH LINE TO UTAH AND CALIFoR-
MA contract was signed in New York
city on Monday by the Western Union Tel
egraph Co., the Missouri River Telegraph
Co., and the Missouri, Kansas and Utah
Telegraph Co., by which the former COM
pany have become the controllers of all the
telegraph lines west of st. Louis, and ar
rangements are now in progress and ample
means provided to extend the lines of the
two latter companies, from st. Louis to Fort
Smith-five hundred miles on the route of
the Bntterfeld overland maitland from st.
Louis to Atchison and Utah. The latter is
now in successful operation, distance of
about four hundred miles west of st. Louis,
and the line to California Via Fort Smith, is
in good working order about three hundred
miles west of st. Louis. By the latter line,
which will soon open another section of
about two hundred miles, the Associated
Press will receive very full reports of Cali
fornia news three or four days in advance of
the arrival of the overland mail at st. Louis;
and, within the next few months, it may be
reasonably anticipated that the California
and Utah lines will become the most impOr-
tant sources of exciting public intelligence.
