Dennis Carly, Of whose murder Of New
lille l have already written. With the
exception of Carly and Neville who are
Irish horn, the bloody list oi slayors and
victims is make up Of Americans. Be-
sides these nre several notorious abor-
tionisis who follow the ostc usibc trade
OF "Clairvoyantos." One Of them
the biggest devil in the lot-Madame
Sidney Augustine Frazer, has boen hap
PLY convicted; though it took cousidera-
BILE trouble to accomplish. the desirable
ends Men, who should have been
ashamed of themselves, (but who, doubt
less had special roasons,) took the great
oss interest in her defense. She had
tbs very ublest counsel in the State,
and il is but fair to them to say
they did their part faithfully. Several
Of her class yet remain to be tried and
with their conviction it is hoped their
devilish trade will disappearj a, least
from Cincinnati.
ADJUSTMENTS
are dull just at present. Pantomimes
and sensational plays are the rage. Last
week the Georgia Minstrels, composed
of Simon Pure negroes were at Pixies
Opera House. They drew e1cellently;
and it is said are the best Minstrel
Troupe now travelling; not excepting the
Aeolians. Perhaps their fame has not
completely died out in the hills and val.
leys Of old Ellick. As the Constitutional
Convention--probably called the Con-
Con.--sits in this city November LIST,
perhaps Amusement stock may look up.
1t is composed, as is usual, Of solemn
old pumps who have as much idea of
joke as life is anything but joke, per-
haps the Con. Coners are at least half
night in wrapping themselves up iu
ponderous wisdom and discussing ques-
tions with the gravity of owls. 1 think
though, Convention rs like a comic
paper, joke once in while improves
it.
Dan Rice exhibited in Covington,
last week, but did 50 poorly that he had
to pawn his watch to pay for License.
He was on jolly spree, and in explana-
tion, said he didn't care for money; he
had enough; but, as he was in his ndtive
place he couldn't help getting a little
high, and SO had got strapped; he said
he Intended to run for Congress again.
Does anybody know just Row many ma.
tive places Dan has on hand?
THE CRY is STILL THEY COME!
Just when the folks at Columbus will
get through counting the votes cast at
the late election, is more than l can say.
After much trouble they footed up that
the Democrats had carried the Governor
and the Legislature; and the balance of
the State had gone to the DEVIL mean
the Republicans had it-bnt yesterday
the news came tha. Daugherty-a
Frenchman-had beaten Little, a Re.
publican, for Attorney General, by some
235 majority. OF course l don't object
to the whole Democratic ticket being
elected, but would just like to know
when to quit celebrating. The Times, Re-
publican says some of the Republicans
out in the "Western Reserve" voted for
Daugberty through Stupid bluu der,'
which is new way OF explaining loss.
1t seems to me the Democrats had bet
ter do all their rejoicing now; for if they
lay in an extra stock OF old Bourbon to
jubilate over their success 10 the next
Presidential campaign. they'll lose the
interest on their investment, and will
have to use thewhiskey at wake ins stead
of jubilee. The Republicans are now
trying to get up row in the Democratic
Legislature, hoping to have Thurman set
aside and Goyrrnor Allen sent to the
Senate, but as this little game would
make Lieut.. Governor Hart, Republican
the Governor, it is hardly probable it
will succeed. 1t would not surprise me,
however, to see Pendleton-"Gentle-
man Gcorge"-loom up against Thur
man, but he can't win. Thurman has
twice carried the State under difficult
circumstances, while Pendleton has iu-
variably been whipped. Then the
Democratic Committee wanted to coal
esce with the Liberals, and give up the
party name and machinery. Thurman
fatty refused them permission to do so
Gle owns the party now. His devise
was to "blow the horn and rally the
