The DEMOCRATIC TRACT SOCIETY at Angus
ia is an exceedingly unpopular institution
Not Democratic newspaper in the State
dares republish the calumnies and falsehoods
contained in the two Democratic documents
5 which have recently fallen into our hands and
been exhibited in these columns. Anonymous,
disowned and dishonored, they nevertheless
disgrace the party which originated them. The
Argus neither repudiates nor acknowledges
these children of the Democratic imagination,
but responds tn Qaoque,T'y you're another" and
prints secret CIRCULAR which on examina-
ton turns out to be the annual note of the
Secretary of the Republican State Committee,
addressed to the town committees and urging
them to make thorough canvass and report
at least a week before election. This note,
bearing an authentic signature, and instruct
ing the town committees to take measures to
bring out the full Union vote, the Argus pre-
tends to compare with the anonymous libels
which the Democratic State Committee, OF
men acting Tor that committee, have put in
circulation throughout the State. To ordinary
minds the resemblance is not perceptible.

I'd GEN. HowXRD's SUccEssoR-The Washing
ton administration journals now go so far as
{ to indicate who is TO succeed Gen. Howard
and take charge OF the Freedmen's Bureau.
The happy man is Col. Gordon Granger. The
9 Boston Advertisers dispatch says that this
officer has been loafing about Washington evel
since the Cleveland Convention, doing the
the Presidents work. Gen. Grant has tried
several times to have him sent to his regiment
but the President has each time counter
manded the order.

isBA Coon WORD FOR THE CLERGy.-In
the last Connecticut Legislature there were
seven clergymen. As they were all Republi-
cans, the Copperhead press of the State
thought it great calamity chat such mer
hsould be elected. The Hartford Press comes
to theirrescue and shows that they were faith
full and efficient Legislators. Itsays: 8Jsl s4.I
b They were all of them literally educated
81 men of mature years and unblemished repu.
tation, and had been selected by their constitu
ents as men who would conscienciously and
honorabiy represent the best interests OF theil
towns and of the State. To q man they
We're Republicans, but were truly and re.
Hgi0usly democratic in the true sepse
They believed in pure defnocracies In tbt
church aud in the state. They never for I

IMPERIAL CIRcUs.-Mr. George W. DELAY.
ems Imperial Circus will make its entry into
our city tomorrow, and will give performances
in the Deering pasture, corner of Portland and
Green streets in the afternoon and evening.
The troupe have been performing in Montreal
and Quebec, in which places the big tent was
not large enough to contain all who wished to
enter. The press of the cities where they have
performed speak in the most complimentary
terms of them, and'we should judge from the
remarks that it is first class concern.

BREAKING INTO SCHOOL HoUsEs.-This vii
lanlous business, practiced by class of bad
boys, has again shown its evil face. Three
boys named Thomas O'Donnell, John H. Fa-
hey and Dennis Kilday, entered the Chestnut
street school house two or three weeks since
and perpetrated all sorts Of mischief and vul-
garity. They were apprehended for another
offence and confessed this. They lay in Jail
for eight days when the two youngest were re-
luctantly returned to their parents, by the
proper officers, in order that they might be sent
out of the city to some place of educational re-
form, and the Oldest, O'Donnell, was sent to
the Reform School during his minority.
1t is well to say here that this vile custom Of
lot of bad boys, venting their spleen upon
our school houses, (if followed hereafter) is to
be punished to the extent of the law There
has been so much of it, and it is 50 wantou
and without excuse, thar these juvenile rascals
will get no immunity hereafter, but the vigor
of the law. Let them tremble and refrain.

The Washington Chronicle publishes card
from Judge Holt in which he reaffirms the
statement previously made in that Journal
that thel papers protesting toexpose conspir-
acy against the Bureau of Military Justice
were not obtained from his Office, and that the
Bureau is not responsible for their publication.
He also denies that he ever, in his official ca
pacity, recommended Conover for Executive
clemency. He concludes by declaring that all
averments or limitations, no matter by whom
made or however.supported, which seek to con-
meet him in any degree or in any way with
the alleged conspiracy against the President,
are wholly false, as are all insinuations that in
the step he took in concert with Mr.. Riddle
he either aimed or desired TO qualify Conover
as a witness for any purpose whatever. oI $500

HOWARD UNIVERSITY. 1t is known TO some
OF our readers that a University has been es-
tablished in Washington, for the especial ben
eht of the Freedmen. The Normal and Pre-
paratory departments only are now in opera
ton. The Theological department., designed
primarily for the education of ministers for the
celored people, will be opened as soon as the
buildings are ready. Among the Board Of
Trustees are Rev. DR.. Boynton, who is the
President Senator Pomeroy, Major General
Howard, Rev. DIR. Garrett and Rev. DIR. Sun
derland. Miss Julia A. Lord from this State
is the principal Of the Normal and Preparatory
departments. From letter recently received
in this city from Miss Lord we are permitted
to make the following extracts: -sI have been
transferred from the New York school to How.

the Normal and Preparatory depar tments, the
object of which is to fit boys for college, and

OF next year to send many well-trained teach
ers, willing and qualified to work for their own
people. Our school numbers about sixty

they have been at school constantly during the

ELIAS HOWE, JR.-Among the many who
have been made the recipients of medals and
honors at the Exhibition at Paris, none stand
as high on the list as the celebrated inventor
and manufacturer of sewing machines, Elias
Howe, Jr. The Emperor, who shows a tact
and discrimination in these matters that does
credit to both his head and heart, has made Mr.
Howe Knight of the Legion of Honor, and
the jury on sewing machines, who had the task
: of testing and awarding prizes for excellence
unanimously decided that Mr.. Howe was not
only entitled to great honor as the inventor OF
the sewing machine, but that he carried off the
palm as a manufacturer as well, and to him
was awarded accordingly the first of the only
two gold medals assigned toy this class. The
number who have called ON Mr.. Howe at his
office, No. GA Regent street, to offer their con-
CALCULATIONS, prove that many besides the En-
peror and the jury acknowledge the justice Of
the claim.-LOndOn Courier.
