formation-it is but the ghost of former
responsibility and self-respect which for a
moment confronts its murderers. While
the guilty wretches seek shelter behind
the solid lines of seventy thousand negro
voters, it must be expected to produce some
confusion in their ranks.

The CIRCUs.-T The circus is certainly coming
and for further evidence of the fact we refer our

fact. we refer readers to the advertisement in
another column, from which they will learn all the
particulars. and become acquainted with the
varied attractions offered to please all tastes
There is, in the first place, full menagerie of
wild beasts, birds, and reptiles, some of which
have been rarely, if ever before, exhibited in
America. And there is the great Van Amburgh's
den of lions, with which Professor Hall does all
sorts of remarkable and thrilling feats. There is
besides, tirst-class circus company of riders
both ladies and gentlemen, acrobats, gymnasts
trapezists, &C., who will all appear in a varied and
novel programme; and, to cap the climax o. at
fractions, a beautiful French woman, from the
Imperial Circus, Paris, and who has just arrived
IN America, having been expressly engaged for
this company. will make her debut in America
here, and will create, we have no doubt, perfect
turore among susceptible youth. Another
fresh attraction will be the performances of Cit
tie Minnie" charming little creature, no bigger
than Pea blossom, the fairy, who will go through
principal act of riding, just as if che was full
grown-up lady, instead of the pretty, weane thing
she is.

departments at Washington that the people
within their jurisdiction are suffering for
| the want of the common necessaries of life,
and without the aid of the Government or
of private charities many of them must die
from actual starvation, party interests de-
mand the presence OF their tax gatherers and
the collection of millions of dollars from
these very people. So there can be no re-
lief through the withdrawal of the tax and
the collector, even if the Government be
compelled to return the money thus ex-
pensively and oppressiyely levied and col
lected.
The entire object of the legislation of
Congress at this time is devoted to save
the party in control from impending de-
feat and ruin, end we can hope for nothing
looking to the public welfare inconsistent
with the claims of Radicalism. Measures
find endorsement or opposition, as their
features bear favorably or adversely upon
the impending presidential election, and
neither constitutional restrictions nor pub
lie necessities stand between Congress and
the attainment of success in that contest.
When we see them ignore the rights of the
Executive and Judicial departments of the
government, we can hardly expect any
kind Or even just legislation, looking for
an acknowledgment of our rights, even
though ruin and starvation stare us in the
face, unless, perchance, justice to us be-
comes involved ii success to them. APP
peals from the miserable Radical Conven-
lions, bodies concocted by their corruption
of Yankee impudenCe and negro Ignorance

i'll the Southern States, have us little infiu-
ence at the bar of Congress to relieve the
of the people themselves, speaking through
the press OF the country, North and South,
and by direct memorials
Whatever fate may be IL store for US, we
must cease to look for any speedy or uiti
mate relief from the present Congress. 1t
may come, but not unless some opportllni-
ty is seen to turn it to good account in the
present political crisis The great COM
mercial centres Of the country have failed
to awaken this body to the state of the de-
clining commerce of the United States !;
have labored il vain to turn
their attention to the paralysis in their
branch of industry; the appeals of hum
dreds of thousands of idle mechanics and
laborers are unheard or UNDECIDED the re-
OF the nation are too busy
trying to penetrate the political status of
General GRANT through the dense cigar
smoke with which the gentleman surrounds
his principles and clouds his intellect, to
attend to matters of ordinary legislation
too much engaged in securing the supre
macy of the Southern negro. to attend to
the common wants of Northern or South
ern whites. The day of settlement, of re-
is fast approaching, and when it
does come, and these malevolent partizans
are made to answer at the bar of outraged
public opinion for their political crimes,
and not until then may we look for real
and permanent relief. God speed the day. |
