BARNUM's UNIVERSAL EXPOSE

BARNUM's UNIVERSAL EXPOSE
TON COMPANY. This company,
which was chartered by the Con.
necticut Legislature last summer,
with a capital of one million of dol
lars, was organized in Bridgeport on
Monday. This company will IN
clude all the exhibitions owned by
the veteran Barnum and many 9th
ers. Its object is to elevate the
character of public amusements-tO
eliminate from them everything oh.
jectionable, and to give the people
of the United States series of
amusements which will be free from
all objections. Under the charter
the company can engage in any kind
of entertainments, including the
drama, concerts, lectures, and even
Italian opera, if it likes, and can
give them in any country. This
shows the magnitude of the work
which Mr.. Barnum has laid out for
his recreation in coming years. His
past record is the best evidence that
he will carry it ont in the most sue
cessful manner.
We understand that his great RO-
man HippodrOme will visit New
England in April, with even more
attractions than it presented on tn
occasion of it's visit last year. The
date for it's visit to Boston will be
at all early day.

The President has signed the civil
rights bill, and we shall see what is
to come Of it. We doubt very much
whether it will make any difference
in the management of hotels, thea
tres, railroad trains, ETC., in the
South, and few colored persons will
be resolute enough to call in its
aid to enforce their rights. If they
do in any considerable numbers,
they will keep the officers of the
law busy, we imagine, without bring
ing the obdurate managers into sub
mission: and somebody will very
likely carry the matter to the Su-
preme Court where it is extremely
doubtful whether the constitution.
atty Of tho act will be sustained.

GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN m,

GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN meets
with formidable opposition in his eff
forts to give South Carolina good
government. The corruptionists
have now openly declared war
against him and have organized a
ring to oppose the funding of the
State debt and to impeach State
Treasurer CardOzo for "multiform
misconduct" But the COnserva-
tives and Independents are rallying
to the support of the Governor and
Treasurer, and announce their de-
termination to rout the impeachers
and to insist on the settlement of
the debt under the funding act.

The question of an extra session
of Congress appears to have been
settled at the Cabinet meeting, last
Friday. The President declared
that in no event likely to happen
should he call an extra session. All
the appropriation bills about which
he has any anxiety are already pas
sed, and he thinks an extra session
would be injurious to the public in
terest. There is certainly no hurry
about the wrangles which will be
likely to occur when the Democrat
lc House OF Representatives get in
to working trim. Nobody wants
Congress in session when it can he
helped.

how the husband might have done

now awaiting trial. We refused to
publish either communication.
An impression seems to have got
abroad in certain localities, that the

throughout the hearing and since.
We gave the most accurate report
of the examination of any publish
ed; the truth of which assertion q
comparison of the report in the
OPINION with minutes taken by the
Judge himself, will show. We have
refrained from commenting in any

be made by the several corporations
of the p. Il O.. Line, to consolidate
the entire line in one company, and
retiring the bonds already issued,
issue a consolidated bond covering
the entire line. If this was done
some English capitalists proposed
to furnish money on these bonds suf-

road from Portland to Montreal.
At the annual meetings of the St.

action of consolidation was taken.
