This mammoth concern, which has
been exhibiting throughout the "loyal
North the past season, closed lie
labos at Boston, on the 9th instant.
We understand that the agent, mules,
monkeys aud clowns, were pretty
badly played out" Hereafter, no
exhibition will be held outside of the
loyal State of Vermont. The mana
ger, Secretary Stanton, and the two
clowns, Sheridan and Sickles, are un-
dergoiug good grooming, and win
likely retire before the next season
opens because the enterprise has
proved failure, and nearly bankrupt
ed the proprietors-who, we learn,
have made sale of the concern TO Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher and several New
England clergyman of the "grand
moral idea" persuasion, who, together
with Wendell Phillips, Horace Gree

Miss Lucy Stone, Rev. J. W. Hurni
cutt, (of Va, } Rev. w. G. Brownlow
(of Tcnn.,) Fred Douglass and a lot
of other niggers, will, in the future
manage and direct the troupe. The
proceeds Of the next season will be
wholly spent for the benefit and be
hoof of the Freedmen's Bureau, Will,
the expenses arc TO be borne equally
by the '1oyal millions" North anC

next year, while HunDicutt or Brown

GES GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY
The discussion over the political sta.
tus of Gen. Grant and the paragraph
relative TO his relations with Congress.
man Washburne, continues TO be gen.
orally discussed. Forney reiterates
all that he has said about General
Grants politics, and adds in the Ctron.
icie that he is authorized 10 denounce
as unounlifedlv falsa the stories pub
ilsned 10 the contrary. MOu,gOihery
Blair is understood TO be the gentle
man who had the interview with Gen.
eral Grant, and made the statement
that the latter repudiated the ChroHi.
cle editorial nominating him for the
Presidency on the Radical platform.
1t is regarded as somewhat probable
that General Grant will write letter
defining his position, in view OF the eff
forts of certain Of his influential friends
in that direction.

A great deal Of pulling and blowing
has lately been done IN the military
line, 10 the effect that the standard
and character OF the military had
lately very much elevated and i'm
proved. We were prepared for thisj
there was plenty Of room; but IL the
following, taken from loyal source,
is true, It would seem as though bum
mers were running the machine. An
exchange says: at is said that Gen
eral Sheridan, being assured Of the
good conduct of General Hays in the
future, telcgraphed General Grant
recommending disapproyal of his
removal as sheriff. Mr.. Bullitt then
declined tho appointment, and Hayes
was restored" If this is true, it is
no wonder that plenty Of white Off
GERS can be found mean enough to
command niggers. Ifoflicers removed
from command, dictate and control
appointments in the manner indicated
in the above quotation, 1t is no won
der that half the officers 10 the South
ern dominions are afflicted with the
nigger itch. If Sheridan, while run
ming circus in New ENGLAND, can
reinstate officers in New Orleans, We
should like to hear and learn in what
direction the military standard has
been elevated. Why pay District
Commander, and thereby deplete the
Treasury of its thousands, if bum
mer in Boston can do the business

his party the "dung-hill party" and
Brother Greeley calls it the "ostrich
party" Horace says that the strate.
gy of tho Grant bummers reminds
him of this strategetic bird. When
it is alarmed it runs and hides it's
head, while it lets it's hind end stick
out, to be kicked and cuffed by every
passer by. We are well aware that
this dunghill-ostrich-party has had
more aliases than any highwayman
that ever infested this country; yet,
after robbing their neighbors for SOW
en- years, they wish TO be considered
respectable. Their impudence far
out-weighs their patriotism and com
mon sense, because they have invested
both in "loyalty" and dgreenbaeks, -
which is likely to take wings and fly
away, and leave the original bird OF

The loyal Rump preconstructors and

New York, New Jersey, and several
other States, have a "Republican

BALTIMoRE-To fully comprehend
the deviltry and hatred for free insti-
tutions manifested by the Disunion
party during the palmy days Of the
'late lamented" and his miserable
satraps, we need but point TO the fact
that during their reign they always
carried this city by from 10000 TO
$1,000 majority. Since the close Of
the war, and while the ballot box is
respected and guarded by law instead
of Massachusetts bayonets, the Dem
ocrats carry il by 10000, while the
miserable scallywags cannot even
raise 5000 votes. These things de-
monstrate this fact That Lincoln,
Schenck, or a Lew Wallace, can per
petrate crimes equal with the half
civilized Mexican, Jaurez, when in
power.
