DeHaycn's Circus.

DeHaycn'S Circus.
Wewent to this circus on Monday and
felt n few sensations, some of'pleasure,
some of unmitigatcd disgust.
The balloon ascension was grand,
smoky and peculiar. We. suppose that
it attained an elevation Of sou yards,
but it had not proceeded a half mile
latcrally before it began to descend
rapidly, and finally met with and igno-
minious collapse in Mr.. Dunlap's field.
The riding was tolerable. The tunib-
ling was better.
The Arab (so.called) twisted himself
out of human shape, and performed
some wonderful feats Of. tumbling,
catching knives, and so on.
Mr.. Lowry, the bare back rider, was
very good. We think lie rode faster
than any other rider we ever saw.
One of the clowns, Mr.. Reynolds,
was pretty sharp fellow, and showed
his sharpness BY not repeating the same
jokes at night that he made in the
afternoon, Notwithstanding the ring
master cndcayored to make him do s..
Mazeppa was as complete humbug as
was ever pcrpetrated upon credulous
community. The following is about
that was done. An old felluw in n
dressing gown and very dirty beard
rode in the grand entry this was fol-
loved by four "sures" with banners,
and two little boys shouting. The
dressing gowned and dirty bearded old
chap came out and rauted around for a
little while Tlicn Count Hubody-mucl'
walked out with tin sword strapped
around his body, and in a sOliloquy, in'
formed the excited audience that "Clo
tide had been brought up in solitude,
aud few more points in her biography
Another Count with his face concealed
beneath flowing robe, and the PROUD
possessor of another tin sword, came
iu, rudcly interrupted Count Nobody
and 6uarly they became violently en-
! ragged and engaged in furious combat
which was terminated by Count. No
body's internal arrangements being
broken into by the other Counts tn
sword. He fell upon the bosom o
mother earth. Whilst in that delicate
and dangerous situation, he was dlscoV
cred by his dressing gown and dirty
beard and some "supes," who llftee
him up. About that time the othel
fellow was caught and brought forth
a captive. The dressing gown ant
beard swore that he would have imme
diate vengeance, which said sengance
said he, would be terrible. Finally I
horse, 'the frey, untamtd stecd," wa
brought in, and by The ingenius OF 'h'
groom, was made to rear and pitch fu
riously: Ire unfortunate st!cker VA
strapped on, and the horse relieved
from the torture, quietly trOtted out.

such prominent part in the first act OF

The sophisiry ofthc Scott Ring

Fort Sumter Moses, Speaker and
Chairman of Scott's Executive Com
mittee, in his valedictory to the House
of Representatives, on Wednesday,
March 9th, 1869, says: Guided alone
by my convictions as to the best in
terests of our people, l yield my acqui-
esccuce in this changed condition Of
affairs, and prepared my mind at
once and in good faith to recognize the
liberated and enfranchised race Gas an
integral element of the body Politic,"
entitled as we'll as myself, and as fully
as myself to all civil and political rights
to an equal participation in the fra
ming of the new government, and in
the making ard administration of the
laws. I recognized, as an accomplished
fact not alone the personal, but the
political emancipation of the race: not
alone their right to the enjoyment of
freedom, but their right to an active
participation in governmental affairs
The political position thus assumed by
myself and. others entertaining like
vicws-a position achich placed as side
Jy side riM Me colored race-this po.
sition, thus assumed, has brought upon
US much Of unmeasured censure and
much of uncalled for odium."
Compare these statements, especially
the words underscored, and it will be
seen that they are nearly identical with
those used in the platform of the Union
Reform Party, and that their meaning
is altogether the same.
Wherein tben,. lies the distinction
between this honorable man, T. j. Mo-
ses, Jr., and the members Of the Union
Reform Party. Only in this: that
whereas Mat deluded and malignant
creature, has united himself to the
horde of robbers, styling themselves
"Republicans," who now control the
State, we, of the Union Reform Party,
refuse to associate with any such band.
Baptized in the polluted waters of
South Carolina ical-Republicanism,
'circumciscd and shorn of his guilt by
such baptism, this man makes his stulti-
fcation complete. when in the face of
his own words, he denounces as :'dc-
ceioers," those who act with the Union
Reform Party. His own words prove
that he occupied two years ago, the po-
sotion now assumed by US. II what we
say now, sis disguise of prctenccs,"
then doubly so is what he said two years
ago. What he said year ago, he now
declares is pretcnce and deceit, when
the entire people of the State come up
to his craftsmanship. In other words,
he is the only white man in the State,
who has right to the opinions held by
him. Doubtless he has a copyright
for his valedictory, and we commit
larceny, when zee dare use it. He is
not so apt at seeing the poiut, when We
ask him of bis sudden aiHucuce.-

A VOICE FROM FLoRIDA.-A gen.
tleman Of our County has handed US
letter from a colored man in Florida to
his children, who live in the ueishbor-
hood of Bachelors Retreat, in which he
advises them not to vote the Radical
ticket, if they have their own or their
eountry's interest at heart. The letter
is headed Archer, Florida, September
5th, 1870, and signed Bob Gambrell.
The writer is known to many of our old
citizens as having purchased his free
dom at the sale of VIM. Simpsons es-
tate previous to the war. He was af-
terward sold into slavery by the Sheriff
and carried to Florida by Ira Gambrcll.
He has four children in this County,
two of whom live on the land of Mr..
j. r. Shelor, the others in same nei gh-
borhood. These children, we arc told,
were strong Radicals, but on reading
the letter Of their father, have conclu-
ded his advice to be good and will now
vote the Reform ticket. We only wish
others could see their true interests and
do likwise. We publish the following
extract from the letter which can be
seen in the possession of Bob Simpson

In these dog days, when ague and
fever is prevailing through our city
and country, it is pleasant to an
nounce that there is a remedy which
always cures without leaving any
pains IN the bones or aching joints.
We know what we are saying, for
we have tried it. The article allud-
ed to is Christie's Ague BaIsam, and
is to be had at 1.-THE DrugStores. There
is no humbug about it.
The following is from the Mon
mouth Guardian:
DIR. Christie's Balsam for Ague and
Fever is winning golden opinions as
a preventive and cure for that much
dreaded disease. Much of the dread
experienced by persons emigrating
to a new country will be removed
when they know how easily and
Thoroughly the Balsam cures the
disease for which it is designed.
