THE PEACE REUNION.
Preparations for Inaugurating q POliti-

From the OourLer-Journal.l

From the Courler-Journall
Arrangements for national reunion
at the falls Of the Ohio river are at length
set on foot; an organization has been
effected; working committees have been
appointed; the eleventh and twelfth OF
September have been chosen as the
time, and there is no reason to doubt
that the proposed peace meeting will be
a great affair.
Kentucky and Indiana, represented
directly by Louisville, Jeffersonville and
New Albany, will do their part. The
season and the point are propitious. No
stint Of money in the equipment, and no
lack of warmth in the welcome, will
mark this honest effort to revive old
time memories, sentiments and associa-
tions.
Carl Schurz and John Quincy Adams,
Emerson Etheridge and Ben Hill,
Charles Sumner and Austin Blair, Ly-
man Trumbull and HoratiO Seymour,
Hendricks, Voorhees,, DoOlittle, Vance,
Bradley, Johnston, Groesbeek, Walker,

in the North and South, will be present.
We hope the Liberal press win every
where aid US in giving the occasion uni
versatility and significance. 1t is our de-
sign TO make it simple, old-fashioned
and hearty. 1t is our wish to have it
represent the spirit of hospitality and
peace which marked the ancient era Of
sectional goodwill, when there was
union of hearts no less than Of States.
The time for such revival has come,
and we shall provide the means.

NORTH CAROLINA.
The Result Still FaEOrable-The State
Conceded to the Democracy.
Radical Reports Reduce the Majority
but do not Deny Our Success.

RALEIGH, n. c., August 4.--Official
and partial returns have been received
from seventy-five counties, which re-
duce the Democratic majority Of 1870 to
some two thousand. The remaining
seventeen counties are mostly small
and will not materially change these
figures. The Republicans cOncede the
State by fifteen hundred or twenty-five
hundred majority. There is still intense
interest felt in the result.
New YORK, August A Raleigh
special to the Herald last evening says
the returns from all UaTts of North Caro-
lima come in slowly, and are so confused
and conflicting as to increase the gene
raj doubt and uncertainty as to the actual
result. The Democrats assert that their
candidate is elected by 1900 to 1000 ma
iOrity, and the Republicans claim about
the same majority for their candidate.
As far as heard from, the dispatch states,
Caldwell Republican, has gained about
300 over the Democratic vote in 1870.
At midnight Saturday sixty-three coun-
ties show a republican gain of 1850 over
the vote of 1870. A later dispatch states
that seventy-One counties give Caldwell
a Republican gain of 2737 over the vote
Oh lofUs AEtNAuS --OO " bC ONClNOu4C DN
the Republicans in the remaining twen-
ty-one counties.
The Times says returns from North
Carolina are not sufficient to assure a
Republican victory, but show that the
Democratic reports are grossly exaggera-
ted. The Times comedies the election of
five Democratic Congressman, and ac-
knowIedges the defeat of Settle.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, August 4.-The
Democrats held a iollification meeting

WAsHINGTON, August 4.-Private tel

ie sources still claim the State, though
by a majority reduced from former cal
culatiOns. The President expects to re-
turn to Washington at the close Of the
present week.

TRAPEZE FOLLY.
A Performer Falls Fifty Feet, but is
Saved.
From the San Francisco chronIole.l

From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
The complimentary benefit to W. s..
LawtOn, at Platt's Hall last evening,
was a perfect success, financially and
artistically. The benefit was rendered
by the members of the San Francisco
Olympic Club, of which Mr.. LawtOn is
manager, and the performance was
principally by members of the club.
The programme was well carried out,
and nothing occurred to mar the plea
sure of the occasion until the second per-
fOrmance after the intermission. Z. i.
Star and A. G. Curtis were announced
to give a performance on the
"aerial bars" and it was during
this that Mr.. Curtis had a terrible
fall. The act is performed from a par
allelogTam suspended near the ceiling,
at one end of which is hung small
trapeze, while at the other is pair of
rings. Starr was clinging to the bar of
the trapeZe with one knee, and had
caught the rings in his hands, 50 that
he hung with his body extended across
the space below the parallelOgram.
Curtis stood on the parallelOgram above,
and to perform the act, he was 10 drop
down, catch STAIRS hands as Starr re-
linQuished his hold of the ring, and
then both were TO swing from the bar.
The preparations for this act were in
tently watched by the audience, and, as
the feat is one of the most dangerous,
much interest was felt in its execution.
Finally all was ready. There was a
dead stiffness in the hall, and every eye
was bent on the performers. Suddenly
Starr let go the rings, Curtis
dropped like a shot, and their hands
met, but in an instant they separated,
and Curtis shot downward to the floor.
As he fell, Charles Bennett, CalifOrnia's
Hercules, was below, and springing for
ward, caught him as he touched the
floor beyond the mattress, and saved him
from what might have been his death.
As Curtis fell, the bar to which Starr
was clinging snapped, but did not break
entirely, and in an instant after Starr
was released from his position. The ex-
citement of the audience during this
scene was intense, and at its happy ter
minatiOn their pent-up feelings found
relief in a thunder Of applause. The
two performers bowed themselves out,
and the performance was soon after re-
sumed. We understand that as the two
young men clasped hands they heard
the bar above them snap, at which they
were so disconnected that their grasp
weakened and Curtis fell, as above de
scribed. Had they not separated, their
united weight would have broken the
bar and precipitated both to the floor
with serious results.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
The Skeleton Of Man who Died Seven
ty-FiTe Years Ago Found in
- the Woods.

Correspondence Of the Milwaukee News.l
In the town of Union, Waucapa
county, as Mr.. G. +. Drew was chOpping
on land belonging to w. r. Iced and
son, few days ago, he discovered a
gun barrel protruding from the ground
at the foot of a small hickory tree he
was about to fell. He pulled it up and
showed it to the family. They then set
todigging and soon found the remainder
Of the gun. 1t proved to be a smooth
bore, fifty calibre, flint lock gun, six feet
in length, stocked to the end of the bar
rel and silver mounted. The word
"Paris" was plainly visible on the lock-
plate, but no date can be found. Fur
ther search revealed the jawbone and
two or three other bones of a human
being; one button, a piece of silver, sup
posed TO be attached to something, and
worn as medal, and an iron spear,
rudely shapen, about two feet square,
about one and half inch from point,
and looks as if il might have
been as sharp as a needle. They were
found about six inches below the sur
face; the root of the tree run under the
gun, and as it grew raised the barrel
above the surface. They look as if they
might have lain there fifty or seventy
five years. 1t is on ridge near the old
Indian trail from Green Bay TO the Wis
c9nSiQ river
