The Rig SHOW Gaming.

The great moral exhibition, or Dan
Castellos's collection of animals, are on
their way to Nashville. Oar streets will
be enliyened on Friday and Saturday
next, by the great demonstration to be
made by this establishment. The pageabl
is a lengthy and attractive one, and the
rare spectacle of loose lion in the streets
will attract not a little attention. The in
fant elephant, too, is novelty never be-
fore seen hereabouts. The horses, the
band, the knights in armor, and " Whoa,
January" serve to make q turn out that
may be pronounced emphatically Dan
Ca,tello-ish, that famed Snowman having
no equal in the saw-dust line Of amuse-
ments. He stands pre-eminently the
prince OF the ring. The mensgerie fea-
ture Of the exhibition is pronounced excel
lent, and will be found particularly inter-
esting to our little people.
The grand cavalcsde will parade st
eleven o'clock in the morning.
The Atlanta Iatslligenoer thus speaks OF
the Great Show" which has recently
visited that city:
Dan CASTILLO is here; We have been. We
have seen theshow, and find that it misrep-
resents nothing. The performance was all
that it was cracked up to be, and few
items more.
We have never seen larger assembly
of spectators ia Atlanta, and as for its re-
spectability, that is above question. We
do not prevaricate when We cay the elite
we're there 10 full dress, and apparently
enjoyed the exhibition as classicaily as
though it was an opera.
The performance was Chaste and hne.
No word or act that Appropriated OBJ
scenity was heard or seen, but the utmost
decorum prevailed in the ring and out of
it. There were several features connected
with the performance that are unrlyalled.
To mention all of them would require too
much time and space.
The Geological collection embraces sew
eral very curious specimens Of the animal
kingdom. The genuine Baclrian Camel,
Bengal Tiger, Tapir and Eastern Cow, are
very rarely exhibited III this country.
The performing elephant is q wonderful
combination OF "main strength and awk-
wardness."
The lecture by Prof. bingham was to
many not only entertaining but instructive,
and we must say affords US much pleasure
10 listening to it.

CIVIL RIGHTS.
Arrest of n Railroad Elan for Assault
ing a C0IOred Councilman.

inS Col0re0 councilman.
On Friday evening last, just previous 10
the departure of passenger train from
the depot of the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga railroad, difficulty occurred in the
depot between awhile employee of the
railroad named ID. d. Clay and Jim Sum
ner, colored, member Of the City Council
which resulted in Sumner being knocked
down with an iron bar or bolt in the hands
of Clay. II seems that the disturbance
arose from the fact that Summer had ac-
companied oolorcd woman TO The depot
aud insisioi upon her being provided with
Accommodation 10 n firsi-class passenger
car, eeatrary, We believe, TO the regula-
,ions Of the road. Clay, at the time stand
iag guard a, the door of the car which
Summer desired his female friend TO enter
positively refused them admittance, Civ
iug bis reasons for SO doing. Harsh words
ensued, and finally Sumner was assaulted
by Clay as stated above. Clay was ar
rested and yesterday morning arraigned
before Commissioner Stone, on the charge
of assault with intent TO kill. After fall
hearing of the circumstances, the Commits
sioner discharged Clay, but he was subse-
quently arrested and carried before Esquire
ThurneCk, by whom second hearing OF
the case was continued until tomorrow.
We we're not present at the investigation
of the case before Commissioner Stone, but
are not disposed to think he would have
discharged the defendant had there been
sufficient cause to inflict punishment or re-
quire security for future appearance.
Should question connected with the lately
enacted civil rights bill be sprung in the
second trial of Clay, the decision rendered
by New York Judge in the case of a
colored woman named Jacobs Us. the steam.
ship Leo, may become pertinent to the oc'
casion. The officers of the vessel refused
the woman frst-clsss cabin passage, and
she instituted suit for damages. She was
non-suited, the decision of the court sus'
tanning the right Of common carriers to
designate the parts OF ships or cars at the
disposal of passengers, and also recognizing
their right to refuse persons Of color &C
commodation in the same cabin or car
| with white people.

Ia our yesterdays issue we gave the
City Marshal the benefit of his statement
in regard to persons arrested for regrating
during market hours, being discharged by
the Commissioner. The information now
comes to us that there has been no such
cases before the Police Court for some
months past, and that persons arrested for
such cfenses, have invariably been fned
when justifable charges could be sustained
in the premises. This is simply differ
ence of opinion between the officers Of the
law, and it is to be hoped that the Ventila-
ton the subject has received, will do some
good in the way Of Kidding the Market

Easter.
The Lenten season terminated Yesterday,

The Lenten season terminated yesterday,
and this fast of forty days which is more
particularly observed by the Roman Cath
Ollie Church, is followed by the festival Of
Easter. The object of this fast is dis
puted point among writers, and ii is men
toned with reference to the SaViour's forty
days fast in the wilderness, to the forty
days OF the deluge, the forty days wander
ings Of the Jews, the forty days granted 10
the Ninevites for repentance, the time
spent in fasting by Moses and Elias, the
memorial of the Saviour's passion, while
other writers find in it dedication TO God
of 1.-THE IA tenth part of the year, and
still others regard it as a preparation for
Easter, and time specially set apart for
repentance over the sins of the past year.
Easter isthe festival of the resurrection
OF our Lord, or the Christian passover. 1t
has been termed the queen of festivals and
has been observed from the very be-
ginning, and is celebrated in every part OF
the Christian world with great solemnity
and devotion. The English name E,ster and
the German OStern have been supposed by
some writers to be derived from the name
of the feast of the Teutonic goddess Ostera
(the goddess of Spring. which was celebrat-
ed by the ancient Saxons in the Spring,
and for which the early missionaries sub.
stituted the christian festival. According
to Adelung, both the English and the
German words are derived from the old
Saxon word OSter, Osten, which siguife:
rising, because nature arises new in the
Spring. g..
The primitive Christians very early or
the morning Of Easter salute each othel
with the words: "Christ is risen;" to which
the response was made: "Christ is riser
indeed, and hath appeared to Simon
The Greek Church still retains this custom
In the Episcopal and Catholic Churche
