A SHOW WORTH SEEING.

We are in receipt of, aletter from
the oldest and most popular Of the
equestrian, gymnic and geological
managers in America Mr.. John
Robinson, in which we are advised
that his Colossal Combination en-
tertainment, Of Menagerie, Museum,
Aquarium and Circus is on its way
|hither, and will shortly be with us,
There is no class OF our commu-
nifty but what will rejoice in this
information, conveying, as it does,
that, beyond all question, the larg.
est and best exhibition in the world
is to pay us visit.
Mr.. Robinson's has always been
the favorite and standard Show OF
the South, and all others have sunk
into utter insignifcance in compar-
ison.
He comes to us now, as we are
assured by our contemporaries OF
the press, at every hand, with an
exhibition infinitively grander and
greater than any Of his former
efforts, and embodying ''World's
Fair" of animate and inanlmate
wonders.
1t is not our province to enunler
ate the thousand-and-one attractions
for the advertisements and the bills
of the day, which will shortly be
displayed, and spread broad cast
through the country by the millions,
will exorerate us from that task.
But we will allude, EN- PEASANT, to
his collection Of living red Sea
Lions from the Alaskan seas, his
half a score of Arctic Seals, his
great Sumatran Rhinoceros, his
gigantic Ostriches, his stupendous
Giraffe, IA recent importation), and
his vast array Of dens and cages,
filled to repletion with living speci.
mems of the rare and curious of
earth, sea and air. The champion
athletes and gymnasts of the Uni
verse, Messrs. Kelly and Stiekney,
by their extraordinary skill and
daring, add to the attractions of the
entertainment; and the '''Di Yer
non" of the arena, Mile Millie Ar
mour, lends the witching of her
beauty and fearless equestrianism.

THE BOLT IN TUE SECOND DISTRICT

| il. i.
The Norfolk Democratic papers have an
exaggerated account Of what they term a
bolt from the second district nominating
convention, held at Portsmouth on the 25th
| instant, at which Hon. James III. Platt was
renominated for Congress. AS our readers
naturally feel a deep interest in the success
of the Republican party of the second dis
trict, we have taken pains to ascertain the
facts in the case and fined them to be as
follows: The present second district is
composed of portions of the old first and
second, the latter under the basis of appor-
tionment adopted by the party, being en-
titled to twenty-lour delegates in the nomi-
mating convention and the former to twelve
Immediately after the passage of the act re-
districtlng the State, the people of the coun-
ties of the first district transferred to the
second, were notified to select each menu
Der of the Congressional district committee
which they did, thus completing its organi-
zation. ..-
On the 18th of May, call was issued
for the district committee to meet in Nor
folk on the 29th of May, for the purpose
OF calling a convention to nominate n can
didate for Congress for the district. At
this meeting of the committee, which was
largely attended, it was decided to call a
convention to meet in Portsmouth on the
18th of June, to nominate candidate for
Congress, elect Presidential elector. and a
new Congressional committee. The call
was issued and extensively circulated in
every portion of the district. Under it
meetings were called after due public no
tice in every county and city of the dis
trlct, at which delegates to the convention
were chosen. E'.-''T .- -7a..'. ". .s1.
/, The convention thus called, assembled
IN Portsmouth on the 25th, every county
and city being fully represented, the whole
number of delegates, thirty-six, being pres
ent and presenting their credentials. Phe
twenty-four delegates from the old portion
of the second district were unanimous for
Mr.. Plates nomination, and seven of the
twelve delegates from the first district eoun.
ties were also open and pronounced in their
expressions of preference for Mr.. Platt,
and their determination to support him.
The convention on assembling stood thirty
one for Mr.. Platt to five for DIR. Norton. |
The convention was organized, as is always
customary, the chairman of the Congress-
lonal committee calling it to order.
Hon. G. p. Ramsdell, Of Surry county
was chosen as temporary chairman, and
Hon. G. w. Iassiter, of Nansemond. as
temporary and afterwards as permanent

being elected permanent chairman. The
usual committees on crcdentials, permanent
organization, &C., being chosen in the usual
way. After the transaction of the other
business, a motion was made to proceed to
he nomination of a candidate for Congress.
This was carried unanimously, and Mr..
Wilson, of Norfolk city, placed the name
If Hon. j. FL. Patt before the convention.
NO other nomination was made, but Mr..
