THE CIRCUs.--No doubt the reader
is already aware that we are to have
circus to-day afternoon and
evening-oar illustrated edition at
tracing the attention of every reader
about the first thing. Montgomery
Queens great European Menagerie,
Circus and Roman Hippodrome, is
without an equal travelling. The
press throughout the country, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, are loud
in tones of parise, pronouncing this
the greatest treat that has been Of
fered to the public. Mr.. Queen, at
an immense outlay of capital, has
accomplished his design Of starting
out for the summers campaign,
with the most gorgeous parapher-
MALTA, the largest number of rare
specimens in the animal kingdom,
and the most brillis at array of circus
performers ever combined in trav-
cling SllOW Oll titt -ALlCI lIdh SoJ-
tsnent. Mr.. Queen himself holds
personal supervision over the whole,
and has associated with him on his
staff some of the most competent
and gentlemanly managers in the
profession. Little Mollie Brown is
a marvel in her daring feats of
craftsmanship. The unparalleled
trapeze performances of Leopold
and Geraldine are thrilling in the
extreme, and it requires strong
nerve to witness their terrific cloud
leaps without sbndder. The men
agerie is under the charge of MIR. A.
j. Forepaugh, the world-renowned
lion kiLg. who is undoubtedly the
best judge of wild animals in the
world. Everybody will certainly go
and see this great exhibition. For
particulars read their advertisement.

pounced upon the scene of the as

Public Schools and the Civil Rights Bill.
Letter from Prof. Newell.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-The Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes to-day received the following letter
from Prof. N. A. Newell, president of the Ma
ryland State Board of Education, dated Balti-
more, January 2, 1874
''Dear Sr-It is currently reported here that
one effect of the civil rights bill now before
the House of Representatives if passed will be
to throw open the public schools to colored
children. 1t is also reported that prominent
member of the Maryland Legislature has pre-
pared bill for the abolition of the public
school system Of the State which he means to
introduce in the event OF the civil rights bill
becoming a law.
1t would be very unfortunate indeed if the
attempt to open the public schools to colored
children should result in our State in closing
them against white children, but ii cannot be
concealed that if the issue were presented TO
the Legislature of ''mxed schools" or ono
schools" there would probably be majority
of mo schools -
During the year there have been 2I0schools
opened to colored children They have been
attended By more than II, 900 pupils, and have
cost the State 500 Stills. This is very well
for one years work. but the people are prepa-
red to do more and better, and if not interfer-
ed with will make ample provision for all the
colored children within their borders.
1t would be great pity that this good work
should be arrested. In Maryland for the pres.
entat least we must have separate schools or
no schools.

The MARYLAND SENAToRsHIP. 1T is rumored
that some democratic membe RS will bolt and
unite with the Republicans in the event that
Mr.. Hamilton does not receive the nomination
for U. S. Senator. So confident, IT is said,
are the friends OF Gov. Whyte of his election
that they have left the opposition TO do all the
caucussing. II is farther stated that the first
indication OF the strength of parties will be
shown on the election Of Speaker. Dr. E. j..
Henkle, Of Ann Arundel, is the candidate of
Mr.. Hanilton's friends, and Jesse X. Hines, Of
Kent, of those Of Governor Whyte.
This is not the entertainment to which the
democratic party were invited, gentlemen, and
the sooner the bill for the banquet is changed
the better it will be for those of the opposition
to either candidate, if they wish again TO en-
ter the halls of legislation. This is not time
to create discussions in the democratic party,
ard those members who unite with Repub-
lcan opposition to defeat the will Of the ma
jority will be held to strict accountability
for their action. Who is Governor Whyte or
Senator Hamilton that the party must be dis
Of them? Against either gentleman or his
fitness for the position we have not a word to
say But il the contest is narrowed down to
these two contestants, let it be conducted in
that spirit of honorable rivalry which should
characterize members of great political party
without appealing to their adversaries to aid
them in defeating an honorable opponent.
Let these gentlemen remember the old demo-
cratic maxim Measures not men," and as
good democrats bow TO the will Of the MAORI
ty. fGov. Whyte is the choice of the ma
jority, let the friends of Mr.. Hamilton submit
gracefully 10 the decision, and so ofthe friends
of Gov. Whyte should Mr.. Hamilton be sue
cessful. If the Les slature can agree upon
neither, there are other good men from whom
to make selection, such as Judge Merrick, S.
Teakle Wallis and others. If the rumor to
which we have alluded be true, it bodies no
good to the democratic party, and we enter a
protest against it.

RoBBERIEs IN LREsBuRe Mr.. VIM. Lowe,
drover, residing short distance from Lees
burg, Va, was robbed Saturday morning OF
81, $50. He had placed the money before re-
firing in a chest at the foot of his bed, and in
the morning the chest was found in the yard
split open and the money gone. There seems
to be no doubt that chloroform was used in
effecting this robbery. Within short time
Mr.. Carr, resident of this neighborhood,
lost $3.50, and Mr.. Aldrick another resident,
about $780, by robbery in manner similar
to the loss of Mr.. Lowe, and it is believed by
the same hands. Mr.. Lowe has just returned
from the Georgetown cattle market with his
money!

THE WEATHER. surprising weather Of
the present season has drawn forth the follow
ing from the Baltimore Sum
The remarkably mild weather for the win
ter has become theme of comment even
among the school children. Tue end of the
world is near, they say, for the time has all
most come when one season is not known from
another. Older sages also say they believe
the winters are getting milder than they used
to be- and that the seasons are changing. But
it will be some consolation to all who are in
anywise anxious about it to know that accord
ing to vertable ancient records, in February,
1904, flowers were blooming in the woods ia
this latitude in February, I779 the willows
leaved, the peach trees blossomed, and flowers
of dandelion were seen in January, 1871,
there was not ice enough on the smallest ponds
to bear dog in January, 1890, boys were
boating on the rivers as if il were summer
January, 1893, the temperature called forth
the protestation of the Oldest inhabitant that
he had never seen the like; and in January,
1895, the skies were cloudless, the atmosphere
warm, and the only thing the chronicler had
to complain of was being bothered by the flies.
So there is nothing so very new abou: warm
weather in winter after all.

INJuRING THE CAUSE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
The evil consequence Of Mr.. Summer sstrenu-
Gus efforts to have his civil rights bill forced
through Congress are being felt in Virginia
a State having a school system affording equal
advantages to white and colored children. On
Friday last the board of school trustees of
Clarke county met in Berryvile 10 take into
consideration the question OF devising means
to erect school and suitable building for the
graded school of Berryville Although the
entire board are warmly in favor Of public
education, yet looking at tie matter in the
light of a possibility of Mr.. Summers civil
rights bill being passed, the board decided to
let the subject drop. Should the iniquitous
civil rights bill become law without expell-
ing from it the clause in regard to education,
it " i'll prove the deah-knell of our State school
system. = Cgarke Va. Courier.
