During the recent inundation at DUBUQUE.
Iowa, Dan Rice's circus came in for o COM
plete ducking. It was filed with the s.upper
ten" OF Dubuque, but the deluge came down
like woHon the fold, and the first anybody
knew the water was half knee deep everywhere.
The somersaulters found themselves sitting
down In exceedingly, soft spots, and even the
clown codldp't tsee any fun in the matter. The
women climbed o'ashe highest seats, and
either waded out or were carried out by their
husbands, or somebody else's husbands, "and
no questions asked" Livery stablemen and
hack drivers were in good demand, and had o
soft thing OF it. Even the indefatigable Dan
Rice ''gin oat; and held no levee in the even

result will SHOW that s'the whites have gained
from III, 200 to 10000 votes over the blacks. !"
Such ls the form OF the statement, and 1t is
lamentAb;e that 80 clear an evidence has to be

races. 1t is stated that in the Valley alone the
whites have Gained at least 5000. AS matters
stand on the record it is thought there is now
In the State white majority OF 80 600 or IS 600.
The Richmond Whlg says that by the registra-
tion of 1867 the blacks appeared to be able to
elect majority Of twenty-one members OF the
House Of Delegates. Albemarle with three
delegates. Richmond and Henrico with eight,
and Norfolk with two. showed negro majori
ties. But there 10 mformation that these have
been wrested from them. Thirteen from one
side. added to the other, makes o difference Of
twenty six. which gives the CONSERVATIVES the
House Of Delegates by Ave. much larger
majority is expected, and rroportionate ma
jority in the Senate.
The great question Chow much did Robe
