DICK SANDS Variety TRoupE.-There

fists. Our opinion of Dick Sands dancing, |
as before expressed, was indorsed by the |
entire large audience present, and he is be-
lieved, by those of our citizens who have
seen him, to stand unapproached and
unapproachable as a clog or Irish jig |
dancer. The evolutions on the trapeze
were excellent. E. NJ. Kerr, of 219 East
State street, was the holder of the fortunate
No. 81, and took the splendid chamber set.
There was much merriment at the distribu
tion of the other prizes, and all went away
satisfied with the excellence of the enter
tainment, and the strict honesty and fair
ness of the distribution. They have en-
gagged the Opera House for two nights,
this and Tomorrow night. A capital idea,
as it will give all our people an opportu-
nifty to see them. A fine lot of presents
will be offered to the fortunate ones to-
night, the leading present being par
lor sofa, and splendid entainment to all.
Before bidding this company goodbye,
we must take occasion to compliment Mr..
Tindle, the untiring bard-working agent,
on the success which has attended his la
bors. Coming here in the midst of the
worst season of the year, when the mud
is so deep ladies hardly dare venture out,
and having on Monday and Tuesday nights
immense local opposition in the Mask Ball
and High School concerts, and the Carter
Zouaves afterwards, he has by his indom-
liable energy run up his business to pay
ing point, and rendering Columbus sure
card for the troupe he represents on his
return. Success to him wherever he goes.
PRAIRIE TOWNSHIP DEMoUsAr1c CLUB
The Democracy of Prairie Township as
selnbled en- masse at Alton, on Friday,

TOWNSHIP Club. DR.. Butler was chosen
temporary chairman, and the following

of the Club: President, Mr.. Riddle; Vice

Elliott;, Treasurer, Esquire Shearer. An
Executive committee was also elected con-
sisting of one member from every School
District In the Township. Mr.. DeLany,
who with Mr.. S. E. Kile was present to as
sist in organizing the Club, was called upon
and delivered cogent and eloquent ad
dress. He dwelt upon the financial en-
barrassments of the country; exposed the
atrocious legislation of the 39th Congress
and urged the organization of the Demoe-
racy as the best means of ensuring success
at the coming elections, and of saving the
Republic from the dangers which seem to
overwhelm it. Mr.. DeLany referred to the
past history of the Democratic party, and
paid glowing tribute to its constancy in
defending in prosperity and in adversely,
constitutional liberty. His remarks elected
frequent applause and infused much of his
own enthusiasm into the minds of his
hearers. Club adjourned to meet on Fri
day, 10Th inst. JOHN ELLIOTT, Sec'y.
CAN 1T Pass ?-We have received copy
of last Fridays journal, from correspon-
dent, containing the speech Of L. d. Gris-
void, Senator from Lorain county, on
pass ?" Of course it can pass. Though it
were twice as full of argument to prove
that there was no salvation for this eoun-
try without negro soldiers; though he goes
further in the deep, black mire Of Radical
ism than any other attempting to prove
that white soldiers were OF no avail against
the Southern hosts until the overpowering
negro came to our relief still would it
"pass," and be believed and be eventually
better scripture than Holy Writ. For if they
found those who had served faithful y and
long growing restive under such assertions,
and inclined to assert their manhood, they
would organize few more posts of the G.
A. r.; issue little more ''soft sawder :" be
alittle more benevolent; declare on the sly
they didn't mean it, and it would all t.'pass."
Can it pass? Until our citizens who have
been soldiers have their eyes opened to the
extent to which they are being degraded,
it can and will pass, and pass current, too.
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.-On Friday D.
Beers, Esq, of Miffiin township, came in
