Eals confidently predicted grand rebel
triumph in Connecticut on Monday, the
5th. Since that date their vaticinatir H.
have taken an innocent and child like
turn. Now We are told = grand Demo
cratic triumph may be relied upon ia
that State in 1872. There may be con
ISOLATION in this divination, as it is not
the first instance where shattering unc
tions have been laid to the soul, Of that
putrid organizationow aaioa ae

season, occurred here on Saturday. 1t
PLAYED "smash''1 with aForepaugh's big

the mammoth Pavilion, caused tito
give way, completely netting the large
little excitement for a time, but forth
nately all escaped from their critical
condition without injury The damage
done to the canvass was so great that it
was impossible to give an exhibition in
the evening.-[Connersville Examiner.
The Democrats seeded from the Legislature in
order to make capital out of the supposed unpopu
larity of the 18th Amendment. We beg leave to call
their attention to the result Of the late elections in
Connecticut and Rhode Island. II they hope to ride
into power the back Of the nigger it is opin
Ion that they will be sadly disappointed. In ailprob
ability the question viii be entirely settled before
other general election. Then present day De mocracY

Mr. Orth made prepared speech in the House,
the 18TH in favor of the annexation Of st. Domingo
in which he cised much from travellers and historians
upon the physical features and resources of the
try, gave history OF its rise and progress, state
ment of its Constitution, and other things showing
much resea rch, but when he to the interestin
subject of the amount of its debt, he suhsided into
vagueness as follows p.
There is contradictory testimony as TO the
aud character of this debt Public rumor has It that
accredited agent of the Republic has recently est
mated the public deb, at from ten to twelve million
dollars while another agent, with better means of
information, arising from longer residence the
Island and a more intimate acquaintance with the Of
I! fetal personaGes and transactions of the Republic,
| asserts very confidently that the entire floating AMI
bonded debt will not exceed the sum of $6oo,o 600.
1t is queer that Mr.. Orth's informa ton should be
particular in things fay Drabe unimportant and
so vague in a matter which IS essertial feature
and on which it may Be supposed that exac. ia:or
nation is easily accessible [Cn. Gazette.
Parson Brownlow says that the receipt which Andy
johnson is exhibiting in Tennessee for Sl 500 which
he contaibuted to reconstrnct BAownlows paper, tn
| Knoxville Whig. was for money furnished by the
United States Government through Military Govern :
or johnson, to which johnson did not contribute 4
cent, and that he drew the money from Carson, SUB
Treasurer at Cincinnati. We regret to see this ev
dence of cabbaging habit in Andy johnson.
| The telegraph, in announcing the appointment Of
Major John A. Burbank Governor Of Dakotah
Territory, credits him to Indiana. This probably
arises from the fact that the Major is Temporarily
residing in this city. His appointment was asked
for by the Senators from Nebraska and was secoua-
ed and supported by twelve other Senator's from the
Northwestern States. The Major resided in Nebras-
| ka for twelve years, where he was an active and
leading Republican. He took active part in Sc
curing the admission of that State into the Union.
and still has large interests there. His appointmenI
will not be charge again this State at the Depart
ment, but against Nebraska, to whose whole -soula4
and generous Senators he owes his appointment.
