MONUMENT TO JoHN BRowN.-Miss Ed
mOnia Lewis has been commissioned by the
Union League Club of N. Y, to chisel in
marble, like the ancient classic heroes, what
fanatics consider, the model statue, old John
Brown. The Winchester Ne,cs says, John
was, personally, a very statuesque old fellow,
of erect figure aud strongly cut features, with
q squire jaw not unlike that of Nero. With
one of the Harper's Ferry pixies in his hand,
and wrapped in the blanket he wore during
his trial, his efigy will be highly Effective.
Beecher, We presume, will pronOunee the
prayer, and Sumner offer the grafton, at the
dedication. George Alfred Townsend, com.
rade Of the martyr, who showed such enthusi-
asm and alacrity in running away when it came
to blows, will report the proceedings. We
hope he will do il we'll. Brown was the herald
of the war lie was more Of hero than
Lincoln. iucnmparaLly more self sacrificing
and luitier in PuaPOss than Grant, aud, we
need hardly add, finer moral character than
Holt, Stanton or Butler We have never
heard that he stole public money or belonged
to a ring Of any kind. As brave aud con-
sistent fanatic, he represents, with tolerable
exactncss. the highest standard of greatness
New England has ever recognized.

RIOT IN DUBLIN.-A monster demonstration
was held at Dublin on the Sd inst in favor Of
amnesty to the imprisoned Fenians in Ireland
The meeting was held in Phenix Park, and
100000 people were present. Messrs. Smyth,
Butt, and Nolan spoke. Resolutions demand
ing the release of the Fenans were adopted.
AS the people were returning several collisions
occurred. The police drew their slaves and
the people used sticks and stones. There was
fierce fighting all night The police, driven
to their barracks received reinforcements and
charged the crowd desperately. They were
driven into the barracks again, however.
The rally was repeated several times with the
-same result. A bar of iron thrown from pub.
lic house at the police led to the storming of
the house and the capturing of its inmates.
An attempt was made to rescue them by the
mob, and in the battle which followed the
house was completely wrecked by the mob
An its frantic rage. Half of the policemen en-.
gagged were injured. Some fifty constables
were seriously injured in the fray, some 80 of
the rioters were wounded, and next day about
100 of the rioters were arrested.

Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania, the head Of
the Kuklux committee, insists that there will be
no kuklux outrages and not cents worth
OF hobbical capital made out Of the Kuklux
business by the radical party, unlees the Pres
.idsM issues proclamation establishing mar
Val law somewhere down south, and he sug-
gests Spartansburg, South Corclina, as the
spot. AS there has been no actual outrage
committed, the President, though ready to
comply with the request Immediately, was
restrained by some timid members of his cab
met who advised delay, in order to secure an
opinion from the attorney general on the au-
thority which was vested in him by the law
passed at the last session of congress. 1t now
transpires, on the testimony Of twenty.sx
prominent citizens of that county, that there
has not been single outrage there since the
visit of the Kuklux committee This is only
another exposure of the reckless determination
of the radicals to find or to make pretexts for
establishing bayonet government in the south.

RADICAL THIEvEs.-There il the State Treas.
urer of South Carolina, Mr.: Parker. He refuses
to allow his books to be examined. The Charles.
ton NeaoS says Of him:
"Three years ago no was little better than a
beggar. When elected state treasurer he was in
the depth OF restitution. Now he drives fast
horses in gold mounted harness, buys fifteen
thousand dollar diamond pins, and has the rep.
utation Of being worth cool quarter of mill.

salary of $4,000. tar
There ere plenty carpet baggers all through
the South just like the state treasurer of South
Carolina. They abound in nearly every state.
Another bit Of romance is related by the New
York SIN:

son or two, and after the ceremony there was to
be a grand party, &c. When tie evening ur-
rived, however, and the crowd surged towards
the church. to their amazement, the church was
dark, the doors were closed and "No admit.
lance" seemed written in hugo black letters
over the threshold. The same mysterious state
of things was found at the residence OF the BRIDE
where the grand reception" was to have come
off. What could IL mcan2 Next morning IL
leaked ont that the bride, who was Roman
Catholic, had refused to be married by a pro-
testant minister, while the groom, who was q
strict Episcopalian, was equally stubborn AZ to
being tied by Romish priest. Both are so
logged In their determination on this point that

The radicals are constantly claiming that
they are reducing taxes. They well know
that there is scarcely word of truth in the
statement. The people know that there is
not, because they pay more taxes every year.
The Rochester Union puts these two facts side
by side as an evidence of the way taxes are
being reduced
Tariff taxes paid in 1871. 49,. 5000, 270, 4OS
Tariff taxes paid in 1870. ...... 1945sS,374

is the way taxes are reduced
