A GRAND BILK.-Thc Great San Francisco
Circus and Palace Amphatheatre arrived here
on Thursday, erected their tent on the Pub
lie Square, and in the evening, before 5000

such the miserable concern ought to be noticed
by every paper on the coast. Nothing orig

pudence of that Great Shakspcrian Jester"
who kept the audience listening to the mcr

wretched concert the fee of each being
twenty-five cents additional. Truly, VIC are
not surprised, after witnessing that nights
performance, that San Francisco hoOdlumS will

come too late to prevent our people

three dollars, respectively, have been offered
for the best specimens of wheat bread, and
three two-dolllar prizes for the best brown
bread. The first examination took place few
days since, the loayes presented being tested
with and without butter, and finally with
milk. Since the examination, other prizes
have been offered, to be given next year, to

shirts in the best possible manner. The OBJ

The New York Tribune expressed
some anxiety to learn why the names Of
Lincoln, Greeley and Seward were omitted
from the list Of those to be Geographically
sketched at the Abolitionst gathering in
Chicago, upon which its Chicago nanesake
explains as follows " The reunion was
intended to commemorate the Anti-Slavery
party which existed while Lincoln, Greeley
and Seward were still members Of the Wing
party, supporting Clay, Taylor Fillmore
and Scott. 1t was the theory Of most Of
the Wings at that time that the Liberty
party prevented them from getting the bet
ter of the Democratic party, aud they enter
tanned as little love for Garrison, Biruey,
Hale and Sumner, as they did for Polk
Cass, Pierce aud Buchanan The reunion
appertains to an earlier date than the form
alton Of the Republican party, to which
Lincoln, Greeley and Seward contributed
their great influence, commencing with the
year 1856"

From the report of the Commissioners
of Emigration we learn that the arrivals at
Castle Garden for the five months Of the
present season are only dfy.seven thou.
sand two hundred and ninety.one, as against
one hundred and twenty-one thousand and
ninety'eight for the corresponding period
last year This is a remarkable falling off.
1t is likely, however, that it will be some
time yet before the effects of the panic last
fall are sufficiently removed to cause the
usual flow of emigrants to this country.
But while decreased arrivals from over the
water continue, there will be plenty to do
to provide for our present surplus laborers,
and induce them to be making homes for
themselves in the more sparsely settled por.
tions Of our country.

would be an endorsement Of what he has

worse, il possible, during his second term.
There can be no question as to the need

statistics which are correct, aud which
show a condition Of affairs in that State
which is simply deplorable. And If Gov.
Moses is reelected, this system Of robbery
Is to be perpetuated The Republicans of

let things drift They must 20 to worS and

has been conceded to be the fttest occasion

derstand that in the slightest suggestion Of
such movement, they will not only not
carry any sympathy, but will have the SC.

commit the fearful mistake-to call it by
no harshor name--it will not be the fault
of the Republican press at the North. The

that press. The men Of that Stae have

1t is natural that the initiative habits
Of the Chinese should lead them to adopt
the bad as well as the good characteristics
Of the whites. With the example of some
so-callod labor relormers before their eyes,
the yellow men at Beaver Falls, convinced
of the dignity of loafng, were naturally
indignant that their superintendent, All
Chuck, should refuse to supply them with
rice unless they went to work. This
wretched excuse made the Cinnamon eager
to hang the miserable overseer, and, had it
not been for the interference of the police
they would probably have done So This
proves conclusively the aptitude of the yell
low man for civilization and even Cali
iornians eau now no longer fail to respect
them. All Chuck seems to have developed
in his brethren even more admirable char.
acteristics than were displayed by All Sin.
