The Atlantic Monthly for August has the fol-
loving severe criticism on the above named pop
uar amusement:
"Woltzing is profane and vicious dance
always. When it is prosecuted in the center of
q great crowd, in dusty hall, on warm mid
summer day it is also disgusting dance
Night is its only appropriate time, The blind
ing, dazzling gaslight throws n grateful glare
over the salient points of its iudecency, and
blends the whole into a wild whirl that dizzies
aud dazzes one but the uncompromsing after
moan, pouring in through manifold windows,

COUNTY JUDICIAL TICKET.

GOVERNOR ToD, of Ohio. issued proclama.
tion congratulaing the people of that State upon
the capture of Morgan and his men. and advising
them TO perfect their military organization to be
ready for any emergency. lie alluded to the
draft in the following manner, which contrasts
nobly with the language and actions of Gov.
Seymour on the same subject
The State authorities have but little to do,
directly with the enforcement Of the draft. They
have looked to it, however, in season, that honest
and faithful agents, citizens Of the State, have
been selected by the Federal authorities to exc
cute the draft. Fairness aud justice therefore
are guaranteed to every citizen. Additional
troops are required to maintain our glorious
Government. Our brave and gallant boys in the
field require assistance in men from home, and
they must have it. have therefore cheerfuly
given to the Federal authorities all aid in my
power TO enforce the draft soon to be made and
| earnestly implOre the assistance of all good
men throughout the State in this necessary work.
The brilliant achievements of our forces during
the present month, resulting in the destruction
and capture Of over hundred thousand of the
enemy, together with their strongh0ds gives the
hope that the war will soon terminate. The
drafted man therefore, need not anticipate a
three years campaign. He may safely depend
upon his neighbor at home and the law making
power of the State to take care Of those depend
ent upon him during his absence. Let us all.
then, fellow citizens, with one heart aud with
one voice, cheerfully stand by our Government,
in this its hour of trouble The reflection here
after that we have done SO will cheer and sustain
us on Uug way through lle; our chn"r"h "tn
love and cherish our memories, aud God Will
bless US for so doing.
