superior virtue as BOsCHEE's GERMAN

ACCIDENT AT THE CIRCUS. Last Mon
day evening, at Robinson's Show, when
the performance was about half over and
the seats filled with people, three or four
sections of the seats, at the east end, came
down under the weight, first gently settling
the standards into the soft ground, then
giving lurch sidewise, and moment
after falling with crash. The confus-
ion and excitement was great for Il mo-
ment, and it was apprehended that some
among the occupants Of the seats among
them several childrcn-might be killed
Such was not the case, however, the cas-
ualties being: Mrs. Underwood, Senior, a
broken and dislocated foot; Mrs. Alice
Underwood, daughterin law of the last,
leg broken below the knee, and Miss
Hathaway, lady from Quasqueton, the
nature of whose hurts we did not learn.
The parties injured promptly sued the
company for damages, claiming $4,000
and refused the compromise rendered by
the proprietors of the show. W

ONLY because we would not ohstruct
fir &c speech and discussion upon topics
pertaining tothe public welfare, and not be-
cause We admire its tone or subscribe to its
conclusions, do we admit to our columns
the communication signed Friend of JUS
tice,' on the second page, which reflects
somewhat severely, and we think unjust
w, on the motives and actions of Judges
Bagg and Wilson, in cases therein
specified. We are not prepared to de-
clare that the highest officers Of our
courts are corrupt, as charged by our cor
respondent, neither do we believe that the
facts will warrant such assumption. We
are well aware that it sometimes happens
that the administration of law does not
come up to tie popular standard of exact
justice. This has always been SO, and
probably always will be so, but in nine
cases out of ten, when culprit escapes
through the meshes of the law, the law
itself, and not the judge who administers
it, is responsible. The judge on the
bench is not an autocrat who knows no
rule except his own will. He has IL divi-
ded duty; one to the offended State, and
another to see that the accused has all the
rights of defense accorded him by the
statute. If by means of the latter
guilty man escapes just punishment,
while we may deplore it, we cannot
blame the judge for performing his
sworn duty. AS good citizens and men OF
character and reputation, Judges Bagg and
Wilson have the same interest in the pun
ishment of crime as has our corresponds
emit; and to accuse them, as does our cor
respondent, as being the friends" OF
criminals, and "encmies of all good PEG
plc," thus not only criticizing their Of
fetal action, but impugning their mo-
tives and attacking their integrity, is
reckless, Incorporate and unjust

FEATHER RENovATING -Messrs Hop
kins 4 Smith have secured rooms in the
second story of the Munson Block, for
the purpose Of setting up in our city for a
season, their business of renovating feath-
ers, beds, mattresses, &c by new and
very efficient process. They have ample
testimony of the excellence of their work,
and every appearance of being honorable
and reliable men. The following fiatter-
ing notice of them is from the DEBORAH
Republican, in which city they remained
for several weeks:
Messrs. Hopkins & Smith, the renovator
men, are closing up their work in De
corah, and will depart next week. In a
double sense they have done clean work.
For there are few houses in which they
have not found entrance, and but few
beds that have not passed through their
rcnovator Even the few geese that did
not flee in terror when they came have a
whittier, cleaner look! Seriously, though,
their process of cleansing feathers, mat
tresses, &C., is both simple and effective.
| Willie cleansing il renovates and restores
to them their original life, lightness and
buoyancy. AllwhO have used their work
will cheerfully testify to this: and Messrs
H. & 8. can leave DEBORAH with the feel
ing that they are public benefactors to the
| cleanly h0usekeerer.

S5,0O0.-We had occasion last week in
cidentally to allude TO the reputation
borne by the saloon near the Central de-
pot, presided over by Mr. Simon Murray.
1t seems that our remarks were not com
plimentary enough to please that fastid-
uous gentleman, and as a salve for his
wounded feelings he wants us to pay him
the above amount. Now we are of the
most accommodating disposition in the
world, and it really pains us that we can
not comply with a request so delicataly
| made, but owing to circumstances pecu-
liar TO the country printers, we shall have
to decline The purport of the above is
that we are enjoying eur first libel suit,
and the only drawback to our satisfaction
is that our capacity for harm is only val
ued at the paltry figure of $1,000. If
now, it was, say $25, 900, what splendid
advertisement it would be for both sides
1t is only the addition of one figure and
we wonder that the ostensible and real
parties interested should be so modest in
/ their demands.

Mr.. Gladstone has made collection of
the epithets applied by the Pope to his
enemies, especially the rulers of Italy. 1t
is not exhaustive, but, as is frequently said
of other collections, it contains some choice
specimens. In time there may be need of
an alphabetical arrangement and an index.
The object of the Pope's displeasure are
"wolves, perfdious, Pharisees, Philistines,
thieves, revolutionists, Jacobins, sectarians,
liars, hypocrites, dropsical, impious, chill
dren of Satan, of perdition, of sin and cor
ruption, enemies of God, satellites of Satan
in human flesh, monsters of hell, demons
incarnate, sinking corpses, men issued

Woman Suffrage has been fairly essayed
in Wyoming Territory, and the result is
not remarkably encouraging. The Rocky
Mountain Ne,cs says:
" As to the effects of suffrage on the
ladies, there are almost as many opinions
as there are people in Wyoming. The
majority, however, declare themselves un-
able to see any change. As far as can be
known, the ladies divide their vote between
parties as much as men do-rather more,
perhaps, voting for personal friends. To
sum up, the opinion of the best informed is
that woman suffrage in Wyoming has
resulted in making everything just as it was
before, only little more so.''
