How SlNGULAn.-Hows strange it is that
the men who are so eager to tear down the
distinction between whites and blacks and
make them all equal at the ballot box, are
at work with equal persistency to build up
distinction between rich and poor. To this
end the revenue and tax laws are so arranged
that while the farmers and mechanics arc
taxed on all they produce the rich bond
holders are exempted from bearing their
share ofthe expenses of the government.

CHAMPS ELYsEEs CIRCUS. A genuine
old-fashioned circus, where feats of gymnas-
tic and equestrian skill are the leading feat
urcs, is not as common nowadays as it
used to be. A good many people will be
glad to know that one is coming on Friday,
the 18th of August, and will exhibit on the
old Circus ground west of the bridge. The
New York Champs Elysees Circus is
said to be IA very thoroughly equipped and
cntensive concern, and it's exhibition will
do doubt, give great satisfaction. The
Triumphal Parade will doubtless be alone
worth visit to town, and we are assured
that the exhibition is superior to all other
travelling circuses. The advertisement vii

MOB VIOLENCE. We understand that IL
gang of drunken rowdies visited the public
performance Of the Philo Suciety of Yer
million Institute, which took place at Hayes
vile short time ago, for the purpose of
mobbing one or two of the members who
were announced to take part in the excr-
ciscs. After the performance had closed,
and before the audience had dispersed, these
drunken vagabonds attacked a young man,
with the evident intention Of killing him,
who, being unable to contend against their
number, fortunately made his escape with
out receiving serious injury. Such conduct
should not be tolerated in any community,
and these dastardly curs-outragers of law
and deccncy, should be made to suffer the
extreme penalty of the law, in such eases
made and provided. ashland Cnion.
The young man on whom the attack wa.
made is son of Mr.. WILLIAM PoULsoN
of this county, aud his being Democra
and from Holmes county was the cause o
the outrage We understand the Professor
of the Institute excuses the mob, he beinl
dirty old abolition fanatic. We hope
parents who respect the rights of white peo
pie will soon learn to send their children tt
schools conducted on some other than tn,
African plan.

LAST WELL AND TESTAMENT OF GENERAL
WAsHlNGToN.-Th Richmond Bulletin, of
the 10Th says:
a valuable and interesting document was
delivered on Saturday by the Secretary of
State TO the clerk of the Court of Fairfax
county. This document was the original
'last will and testament of General George
Washington" which has been for some time
preserved in the State library, and was
saved from the clutches of the army of Gu
riosity hunters who pillaged the building
after the evacuation, only by the precauton
of the late Secretary Of tho Commonwealth,
Col. Geo. w. AIumford, whose vcneration
and affection for everything connected with
the memory of VirgInia's greatest son is
participated in by every citizen of the Old
DOminion, and prompted him to the pre-
servation of this valuable souvenir.
The instrument isin the clear and legiblc
handwriting of the General whose precis-
ion and accuracy are evinced by his sigma
turo being attached TO every page, and the
freedom from mistakes. Every t is crossed,
every dotted, land the marks of punctual-
ity and thoughtfnlness which contributed.
SO great to lis success in every department
of his life, are visible in every line.

/ gs3,~Wo learn from the News, that tho
Grand Lodge OF ODD Fellows met In Calves
ton, on Monday tho 2sih ult. but few dol
gates were In attendance, and those mostly
from distant lodges;
At this meeting the secession ordinance
adopted In 1862, aud all laws coalrayoning
tho laws OF the Grand Lodge Of the United
States were repealed, aud this jurisdiction
resumes It's allegiance TO tho Grand Lodge
of the United States from this time.
p. q. Master II. d, Andrews, was elected
Grand Representative 10 the Grand Lodge
of the United States to meet in Baltimore
in September proxlmo.
The Grand Encampment failed to meet.
In repeating the act OF secession, oil acts
passed since and up to this time under the
Constitution of this Grand Lodge are OK
prcssly ratified, though working now under
the laws of the Grand Lodge Of the United
States.
Such subordinate Lodges rs have failed to
meet, owing to our past troubles, have the
full right to reorganiac now under their
former charters.
Tho editor of the News, in his letter from
Galveston, dated Aug. Solh, says;

W. Grain has received tho appointment of
Post Master for this city. OF course he can
not enter upon his duties until his bonds
have been given and approved and his COM
mission issued. Mr.. GRAIN has been Chief
Clerk ofthe Pest Office for many years past,
and is, believe, universally recognized as
dilligent, obiging and correct officer end
l think his appointment will give general
satisfaction. l believe Mr. GRAIN has been
recognized as q consistent man politically
that is, he has never, MS fur rs VIC can
learn either by word or deed, identified him
self with either the Union or secession par
ty, and consequently there can be no OBJ
merits commend him to all. l hope we
may consider this appointment as only
preliminary to the establishment of mails
to an extent sufficient, at least, to accomo.

between Galveston and Houston is soon to

TEXAS IRoN.-The Shreveport News no.
ticing favorably an editorial article on
iron, which appeared in the True Delta two
or three weeks ago, says hence(orth, that
internal improvement and manufacturing
will occupy the attention of the people
moro than formerly, and, in relation to in
vestments in the rich iron beds near Jeifcr-
son, Texas, and not more than sixty or
seventy miles from Shreveport, adds:
Col. Clemson, q man of science, familiar
with the subject of iron mining, and who,
for long time, was at the head ofthe Iron
Bureau in this Department, pronounces the
Texas iron equal, if not superior, to any in
the world. 1t was thought at first to be
too brittle, but this was found to be owing
to the imperfect manner in which the iron
was extracted from. the ore. A great i'm
provemcnt has been made in this particu-
lar and the iron extracted of late has been
found to possess all the qualities of ductil-
ity, maleability, etc., required.
The quantity Of iron in the several beds
discovered near Jefferson, seems to be
equal to any demand. The yield of rich
ore is immense and the quantity almost
boundless. 1t is proper to state that sew
eral furnaces are in operation in the por-
ton of Texas alluded to, one Of them for
number of years. They have supplied the
country with castings for several years
past, and during the war, supplied all the
shot and shell manufactured. There is no
rolling mill in operation in Texas at pres
sent, but this, we presume, will not be
much longer neglected.-Tr Delta.

We cannot get over our exercises on the
