PARTY DISCIPLINE.-We do not now
speak of compelling the members of q
party to obey Its decrees or abide by its
doctrines these are obvious obligations
which the competitors for the honors of a
party will enforce. Boiling from the plat
form of party is usually as fatal politi-
cally asbolting from the platform of car
is physically. The discipline of which we
speak is that which demands of every rep
resentative of a party that he takes care the
representation of the party does not suffer
in his hands, Itis to see that an incum-
bent does not subordinate the interest
of the party to his own. Parties are
organized not to rob the people,
but to conduct the government on certain
line of principles and public policy. In the
United States people do not readily sec
how good can come out of evil. If a
band of men calling themselves Democrats
robs the people of New York of millions,
or another band under Cakes Ames en-
harnesses the Republican party with q vim
dication, what gain is there to the one or
the other of the great parties implicated +?
The chief culprits in each case have obyi-
ously taken the name and political fellow
ship to secure access to the public treasury.
The princely gains accrue to themselves.
The obloquy and damage result to the
great parties which such men have dis
graced.-M 0. Republicaq. al6

CITY NEWS.

The GREAT EASTERN above
title implies majesty, and it was partly for
that reason that Colonel Haight has APP
| piled the name to his Grand Triple Me-
nagerie, Double Circus and Aggregation OF
Wonders. It is majesty itself, towering
giant among its associates. 1t commands
the respect and is really monarch among
all its competitors. 1t everywhere receives
the plaudits of an overjoyed public; and
the press of the country are lavish of their
praises. Below we quote from the Louis
vile Commercial, q paper which, as every
one knows, thinks too much of its space
to extol an unworthy object:
This colossal exhibition, the ne plus
ultra of arenic and geological excellen-
cies, opened on the corner of East and
Chestnut streets to a very fine audience
in point of numbers and respectability,
and at night there was q perfect jam of
breathing humanity, thousands being
turned away, unable to gain admission on
account of the crowded state of the i'm
mense pavillions. The procession in the
forenoon of yesterday through the princi
pal avenues of the city is conceded
the most imposing and gorgeous
ever made here. The whole was
enlivened with excellent music from
several bands. OF the exhibition
itself, too much in just commenda-
ton cannot be said. The night perfor-
nance was unfortunately married by the
severe wind and disaster which so sudden
ly terminated the exhibition, but the after
noon entertainment was smooth, most
agreeable and instructive. The animal
collection is much the largest ever seen
here, embracing thirty-odd dens Of living
specimens from the new and old world.
With the circus the audience were de-
lighted, and manifested their appreciation
BY warm and repeated applause. The
,questrianism is especially unexcelled.
The acrobatic and gymnastic exercises
were wonderful, and elected much remark
rom the enthusiastic visitors"

BETH AHABA.-We attended divine
| service to-day at the above-named syna.
gogue, situated on Eleventh street, between
Marshall and CLAY, and were much i'm
pressed, with their holiday New Years Day
service. A large congregation was in
attendance, and great interest was mani
tested. A fine sermon was delivered by
DR.. A. s. Bethlehem, rabbi, after which
prayers were offered by DR.. M. l..
Michelbacher, responses being made
thereto by the congregation. An impor-
tant and decidedly interesting feature
of the service was the singing of
the choir, rendered in highly
crcditable manner to those who compose
it, as the pieces sung were of the most
difficult character. However, none will be
surprised at its excellency of rendition
when we inform them of the ma
terial that compose it: Mr.. Jacob
Reinhardt organist. Mr.. Gust. Mill
hiser director, Mrs. j. Reinhardt soprano,
Misses Reinhardt and Michelbacher alto,
Mr.. III. G. Wyatt tenor and Mr.. Rosen-
field (of the Stats Gazette) basso.
During the services, which lasted from
nine O'Clock a. IN. until twelve M, the
horn which it is their custom to use on
such occasions was blown by Mr.. M. May.
Tomorrow we believe their service COM
mences at an early hour in the morning,
and lasts all day.
