THE TYRANNY OF A TRADE SOCTErY.-
About one. half the .borseshoers Of New-York. CON-
bned trade society. have resolved that the Burden

ly all the rest Of their craft to leave their
employment. AS consequence. the business Of the
city railroads and stage companies is suffering severe.
". Already many cars and stages have been with
drawn much to the public annoyance. and by the end
Of the week most Of them must stop unless the prop
tors can get their horses shod elsewhere. majority

none but the more costly handmade shoe shall be used
II hardly probable that the stage and companies
will consent to such preposterous demand after
ceding every requirement Of their employees the
score OF wages; and Mr.. Burden win sell his shoes
at half price, he says sooner than the strikers shall
succeed. At present the police are keeping sharp
lookout upon the rinseaders- Meanwhile, the public

Exciting Scene at a Menagerie.

On Tuesday evening while Mabies'

a violent storm sprung mp which blew
down the pavilion, which Immediately
took fire and was neatly all consumed
The accident took place in the midst of
the exhibition, and there were from one to
two thousand people in the pavilion. Il
is impossible to de.cribe the confusion
which took place. Men, women and cbil-
dren were buried under The canvass bat
fortunately the centre poles and braces fell
with one end upon the cages Of the wild
beasts so as to allow large portion OF
the audience 70 escape. The canvass of
The north side was lifted up bodily and
carried over .he heads Of ,he audience into
the centre Of the ring, while the top can

mediateIy took fire, and al one time there
was great danger Of many being consum.
ed by the fast spreading flames; but for
tunately all escaped, and not man, wo,
man, nor child was seriously hurt. Such
confusion was Deyer before witnessed in
this city. Men calling for their wives,
wives for their husbands, mothers for their
children, and children for their mothers
all was confusion. Just at this time
two cages which had been placed together
fer the purpose Of forming the den of
wild beasts. which Prof Sears enters du
ring the exhibition became separated and,
The back door. being open, out leaped a
huge lloness, then arose the cry "a lion
out " Then there was confusion worse
confoun1ed, and stampede took place
equa'ed only by the stampede of the abo-
Ilt'on Congressman from Bull Run. The
keeper of the lion caught it around the
neck, another man belonging to the con
Germ jumped into the cage and threw
the leopard (which being in the same cage
with the lion, was about to escaped down
in corner and held it while the bvstand-
ers closed the cage. The lion was put
back into the cage and all was quiet.
Nobody hurt"
The loss of the proprietor is verv heavy
the canvass is an entire loss. That Dor
ton which was not burned was cus and
torn IN such manner as to spoil it. The
loss is estimated at IS 600.

The Order Of American Knlghts-The
Overthrow of the Government.


1t will lot soon be forgotten by the
people that an associated press dispatch
was sent over the wires on yesterday re-
newing the charge of consplT acy 10 over
throw the Government Of the United
States, and impl,ca;ing such men as VIM.
B. Reed, George E. Pugh, and George
PentIe,on in that plot. The Administers
ton parry exercises supervision of the
wires, and the Administration party mus,
be considered as endorsing the charge by
giving it publication. More over, We are
told that "fuli informstion concerning the
whole scheme is in the hands of the au
thorities q, Washington" The details
of this plot are given with great minute
ness. /. seems to be joint scheme be.
tween the adLerents o: Mcclellan and
Vallandirgham. For once a. least the
War and Peace Men shake hands and
fraternize 10 the most tremendous piece
of vilsny ever devised, Such ia tie
story.
Now. we have to say at the outset, that
if Abraham Lincoln has the :" full irfor.
nation concerning this plot which is
alleged, he is bound to have arrested the
parties thereto. If there is, and Lincoln
knows of it, he is coward and knave
unless be takes the parties in custody
II there is not, the parties guilty Of this
charge are unprincipled defamers oy pros.
tituling tie wires to tie injury Of inno-
cent men.
Howard lies in prison for forging a
Presidents Proclamation, but what dun
gson is dark enough and deep enough for
the man or men who are guilty Of forging
,hi' outrageous calu,nny against some OF
our best citizens. There are Republican
newspapers which have sense enough O:
shame TO refrain from comment.
But there are in higher walks persona
ges who Ike painted and unbIushing har
lots tlauns with sickening impudence their
crimes before tue pubic gaze. What a
time for such ou:ragcs A time when
500 900 men are called for. A time wher.
the life of the nation is at stake. A time
when the utmost harmony and good fee
ing should prevail in the North. at such
a tlme these mischief making miscreants
cas-! ;heir flaming frebrands into The midst
OF society and "cry havoc.' They are
the genuine aiders of the rebellion They
stimulate the south to further resistance,
by publishing that an Organization num-
heIing a half million of men exists in the
North to assist them. These calumnia
tors inJure our cause sbroad by giving
circulation 10 such falsehoods, and they
exas?erate and enrage all honest men At
the North.
p Why do they keep hidden tue proof Of
this great plot! What right have they
to alarm the whole country by these piece
meal and broken s'atements? Why do
they suffer the alleged cousrirators to 60
at large.
If they have contrived these horrid
ISLANDERS, simply for elec,ioneering oil s,
and there is no foundation for them, then
VIC have finally to SAY, tia, they are strik-
ing blow at the nalion, for purposes Of
personal and party gain, which should
ruin forever The party in public estimation.
