Roll Gu, by Thousands to see John Robinson.


The king of all the showmen is approaching
Sweetwater, and on Saturday week will pitch
his tents among us. Very few of those who
are fortunate enough to see his wonderful
show-bills will fail to be on hand when the great
reality arrives. We believe John Robinson's
Great Combination Circus and Menagerie comes
nearer being what it processes to be than any
any other show in the United States. We thought
so when we saw it last year, and since that time
all accounts agree that it has been much mprov-
ed. The collection of animals and birds connect
cd with this show is one of the finest in the world
and to it is alone worth more than the price of
admission. The wonderful riding of Miss Cor
della, the Champion Equestrienne of the World,
cannot fail to please as we'll as astonish. John
Lowlow, the Prince of Clowns, will put you in
the best of humors by mere look at his jocOse
cOuntenance, while bis jokes and comcalities are
perfectly irresistible.
But it Is useless to discriminate where all are
so good. BE hunting up your change so as to be
ready to see for yourselves on the Sd. In the
mean time we refer you to the two-column adyer-
tisement in this weeks paper, and to the glow
ing accounts OF any of your friends who may
heretofore have seen John Robinson's Big Show.

stock and opened out at his old stand two doors
above this Office. This time he appeals to the
stomachs Of his customers as he intends to deal
principally in something good to eat. He don't
intend to have anything to do with your con-
sciences, so you needn't expect to run up an ac-
count with him as long az your arm and then let
it settle ITSELF That sort of thing is played out.

Who Built the Capitol.

The capitol of the United States, as
it stands, is the work of many persons, OF
whom but two or three are noticeable.
DR.. Thornton made the FIRST design, said
by Washington to combine grandeur, SIM
plieity and convenience. The architects
retained but two or three features OF
Thornton's design, and preferred one by
Mr.. S. Hallet. b. III. Lathrobe, of an
enterprising Maryland family, began to
rebuild the capital after the British burnt
it. 1t was thirty-fvc years after the lay
ing of the corner stone before completed
national capitol existed in America.
John Quincy Adams was the first of oul
presidents who ever sent message into
an entire capital building. In like man
her the extension of the capitol has al
ready occupied eighteen years. Washing
ton laid the corner stone OF the old, Web
ster. of the new capitol The Brunellesch
of the house is Thomas ". Walter, tn,
Ghiberti OF tits Thomas Crawford. Their,
arc three names, therefore-Hallet, Wal
ter, Crawford-with whom are associate,
the merits of the capitol. Walter is in
comparably the iatiohal architect b.
built the Girard college at Philadelphia
and on that building and the dome of tn
capitol his fame will last. o

The Gatena Victory.

There are tWo.facts which make the
democratic victory in Galena, Illinois,
more crushing than it otherwise would be.
The first is that the radicals made an un-
'precedented effort to carry the city, held
big meetings, imported speakers frem
abroad, hired bands Of music, and the
placed Grants name and picture at the
head Of their tickets. In the second place,
there are some two hundred voters Of Ca
lena, democrats almost to man, who fol-
low the river as pilots, steambCatmen, and
flatboatmen At the last session of the
radical legislature of Illinois, the day OF
election was changed from March, when
these democratic river men are al home,
to June, when they are absent on the riv
or, hoping thereby to secure radical sue
cess. Yet, despite all these untowaId cir
cumstances, the democracy carried the
city by the largest. majority ever given

Chairman Executive Committee

"A correspondent wishes to know
whether, in case Grant shall be elected
president, he can constitutionally retain
the Office OF general.
The constitution is silent upon this
precise point; lut to ho!d the two posi-
tions at the same time would be contrary
to the spirit Of that instrument. In the
clause forbidding members of congress
from holding, at the same time, any civil
Office under authority of the United
States. aud which torbids any person who
holds any federal Office from becoming n
member of congress, the spirit of the con-
stitution is shown as being hostile to the
holding Of two federal Offices at the same
time.
1t is also provided that the president
shall receive for his services a coTpcnsa-
tiOn, and ale shall not receive within
that period any other emolument from the
United States, or. any of them" Here
again is an indirect expression by the
constitution that man cannot at once be
general and president.
The office Of president is superior to
that of general. 1t is nowhere seen in
the system of promotion, in this or any
other country, that man is raised from
lower to higher Office without leaving a
vacancy in the former. The captain who
is mado major is no longer a. captain
but there is vacancy which is left by his
promotion.
La fine, it is contrary to the spirit of
the constitution, and, therefore, unconsti-
tutional, that man should occupy at
once the Offices of president and general.

a planter riding through the woods per
ceived the suspected individual emerge
from the woods, and, after looking around
to see that no one was near, walked up to
flock of sheep and knocked over the
largest and latest. At this moment the
planter rode UP, and confronting the thief,
exclaimed: 4.
"Now, sir, I've got you. You cannot
get off; you are caught right in the act"
"What act ?" indignantly inquired tho
thief. g..
"Why, shcep-stealing," was the emphat-

MEMPHIS, December 10. - The
AvaLanche's Little Rock special to-
night says that reliable information
states that on the morning of the
10th inst four companies of militia
commanded by Col Gray Williams,
from Rome and Maltreevs Counties,
the latter colored, entered Lewisburg,
shooting in every direction; marched
to the store of Breem Il Casey, set
fire to it after pouring coal oil on the
floor. Howard q Weller's store was
also burned; Easean's was saved by
great exertions. During the fire Mr..
Casey was shot down, and the body
thrown into the flames, after rifling
the pockets.
The town is still occupied by the
militia, who go shooting aud shout
ing through the streets. No one is
permitted to leave without pass. All
| is quiet at Augusta, and it is said that
| the prominent citizens prevented au
attack on the militia, fearing misrep-
resentation abroad. The people de-
sire the interference of United States
troops in their behalf.
| There was a meeting at Batesville
to day, at which all parties partici.
pated, declaring for peace under any
circumstances, promising to suppor
the civil authorities, and calling OF
other counties to hold similar meet
ings.
