since the Railroad Celebration OF Deco
1870, (when the Hon. VIM. p. Pres;
ton, of Baltimore, made his elo1uen
and seeing speech at the BanqueS
in Chew & Stockdale's warehouse, eX-
cited a more general feeling of inter
est and enthusiasm than the Catholic
Fair which occurred here last week.
1t was the absorbing topic and brought
hither a multitude of well-dressed
people to witness the attractions con-
tanned within the Pavilion. The Fair
opened auspicionsly on the afternoon
and evening of Monday, the 9th of
Nav. After the decorations had been
completed and the articles arranged
with artistic beauty and eleg nce, the
College Band and Dr.. Dlelman Pro-
fessor of Music, were present and per-
formed some favorite airs. All moved
along smoothly. The Pavilion was
crowded. The Lady Managers and
their corps OF assistants were ready to
ply their arts and improve their taSc-
nations in beguiliny all new com"r'
and strange faces into taking chances,
in various articles which were on ey-
hibition. The Young ladies as llv
calchers for "chances improved the
opportunity in graceful style. Their
bewitching looks bright eyes and
smiling faces were perfectly irre>isti-
ble Many an old man and youthful
Atoms were charmed into the sooth-
Ing mood, and induced to take only
zone chance, y and Il good many more,
before they had time t" collect their
thoughts or turn their minds into

DURING the recent Presidential pill
grimage in the North the Mayor OF
Troy-we regret we are unable to give
his name-was permitted to ride in the
official coach, and to his great JOY was
thus enabled to set face to face with the
great man who only accepted the NOM
ipstion for a second term because he
wanted to find out what the people
thought about him. While thus hon
ored the eminent Trojan discovered
that GRANT greatly resembled in ap-
pearance the lamented SlLAs WRIGHT,
and also noticed that above his eyes
GRANTS, not WRlGHrs-" the frontal
regions seemed to be surcharged with a
brain that pressed upon its limited bar
riers for ROOM" The discovery Of that
"brain," under the pleasing circum.
stance alluded TO, was feat only equaled
by PLANrAMoUR in his cometary explo-
rations, and we are inclined to believe
that about as many persons will believe
in. its actual existence as did in the
coming of the fiery visitor that, accord
ing to the Swiss astronomer, was TO
smash the earth on the 18th instant.

GENERAL BUTLER, Senator MORTON

abe habit q dechIng that it Mr..
GREELEY is elected, he will procure the

diers The fourth section OF the Four
tenth Amendment to the Constitution
rssds "a follows: 1.-THE validity OF the
,,bl;c debt of the United States au'
,borized by law, including debts IN
CURED for the payment Of pensions and
bounties for services in suppresslng In
surrection or rebellion, shall not be
questioned. But neither the United

pay any debt or obligation incurred IN
aid of instruction or rebellion against
the United States, or any claim for the
loss or emancipation OF any slave; but
all such debts, obligations and claims
shall be held illegal and void" When
BUTLER and MORTON talk Of paying for
slaves and also paying pensions to
rebel soldiers, they talk nonsense. But
this is nothing new for them.

THUS far the Presidential canvass has
developed violence only on the side OF
the pretended champions Of order. The
inyectives of Mr.. CoNKLIsG and MIR.
Moaros against the Ku.Klux fall pow
erless before such outbursts Of partisan
hate as are recorded against the Radl-
calls. The supporters Of Mr.. GREELEY
illustrate their liberalism by tolaernce'
while the advocates of the reelection oil
General GRANT show as conclusiVely
the stuff the party Of hate is made OF by
the indecency with which they act and
talk. They are at once desperate and
proscriptive. They have reached that
point of hardihood, sprung from long
domination, which CONSTITUTES its tenure
of power into fee simple right of pos.
session, which scorns the idea of a per
fec,ly free ballot; which defes the
popular will; which is almost ready
and, with a fair opportunity, quite
readv-to fight rather than retire. The
devilish abandon of Mr.. CoNkLrNG's
canvass in New York and Mr.. NOR
TONS canvass in Indiana has this i'm
port; and the conduct Of the negroes
encouraged by them. bodies no good for
the internal peace of the country. In a
word, the situation, thus disturbed,
does not seem to be q transient evil
productive of future good; but an un-
wholesome present, ominous OF worse
conditions ahead Of us.

The story Of Mr.. TABBs GROSS. the
colored orator who was by threats Of
mob law prevented from making a
GREELEY and BROWN address in Ciucin-
natl, reveals an intolerance Of free
speech rather more outrageous than
that which recently drowned the voice
of Mr.. SAUNDERS in New York. Mr..
TABBs GROSS, having arrived at Cincin-
natl, was waited on by some twenty or
more colored men, one Of whom had
an open knife in his hand. These col.
ored men told the orator that "they were
a subcommittee appointed by a COM
mittee OF forty colored men to inform
him that he must leave Cincinnati by
twenty minutes before ten P. NJ Sun
day (the day before he was announced
to speak,, and that if he did not leave
he would have to abide by the conse"
auences, which would be certain death. y
He was advised that mo colored man
could come around there making
speeches for GREELEY except at the
risk OF his life" Subsequently Meth
odist preacher, Rev. WILLIAM JOHNSON,
said to him that ut was not right for
him to come around there making
stump speeches for GREELEY, and that
if he persisted in doing 90 he would
endspger his life" Finally Mr.. TABBs
Gaoss had to quit Cincinnati. OF
course is the misguided colored men who
threatened him were inspired and urged
on by white Republican blsckguards.

THE Radical journals are particular
ly unfortunate this campaign in their
selection of recruits for the GRANT
army. Almost every day they wake
up the wrong passenger" and fire.
quentiy hit upon first-rate GREELEY
man whom they profess to have cap
tured, but who promptly comes forward
and denies "the soft impeachment"
A case of this kind recently occurred
at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which
requires some notice at our hands.
General A. L. RoUMFoRT, Chairman OF
the Dauphin County Democratic Com,
mittee, was announced with a grand
flourish as opposing the action Of the
Baltimore Convention, which report the
Harrisburg Patriot deals with in this
satisfactory manner:
ION the 18th inst. the Telegraph in
formed its readers that General Reun,-
fort was opposing the election of
Horace Greeley. This announcement
has found its way into other papers,
and is therefore calculated to create q
false impression. 1t is true that General
Roumtort was earnestly opposed to the
nomination of Horace Greeley by the
Baltimore Convention, but since the
nomination was made, he has, upon
mature reflection, concluded to join the
grand army Of reformers now march
ing against the works of the centralists.
The Tribune and other newspapers
which have given credit to the false
hood, will please make the correction
and do justice to life long Democrat
and a pure and enlightened patriot"
