Johnsons Menagerie, at Washington,
continues to draw crowded Houses
the Senate and House both being full,
Some of the Managers of the Show
are very unruly-eyen more so than
the colored animals and threaten
Mr.. johnson, the proprietor, with de-
struction and death. He does not
enter the cage. On Tuesday OF last
week he sent a large manuscript in to
the managers, ring masters, clowns,
colored gentlemen, etc., which is call
ed a Message Some of them didn't
know what it was; and one of the
colored managers objected to having
the piece read, when he was booted
out of the ring; and the piece was
read by one of the monkeysin kind
of sneering way because it came from
Mr.. Johnson. Some parts ofthe piece
are a success. They don'twant John
son to own the show any longer
They threaten him terribly. One day
last week they made a last desperate
effort to assume entire control of the
menagerie, by "clcaning out" Mr.
Johnson. They introduced a new
performance into the Show, but many
of the managers, clowns, &C., objectoc
to entertaining the large audiences
with such q costly performance, tear
ing it would break up the country. =
They took vote ON it in the show
and the showmen cleaned it out, in
stead of cleaning out Mr.. johnson, by
an encouraging and overwhelming
majority. A very old manager in th'
