THAT GARMENT.

[
Radicalism, and with somewhat Of
success, like all things earthly is
about to reach it's decade and become
a thing ofthe past. Thus far, Nor.
ton of Indiana, has been the cham
pion SHAKER" and from his seat in
the Senate could always be found
foremost in the breach, leaning on
his crutch and waving his bloody
shirt. But fresh spirit has encir-
cled its dream, a new departure in
that line has marked a new standard
bearer to wave it with maiden fresh
ness, and Blaine, of Maine, was the
shirt Bayard to come to the front,
and.once more unfold its bloody kinks
and dry its bloody gore in the fresh
breezes of the minority Radicals of
the House.
But few days back our hero from
the lumber State made his debit,
done some taller waving and shaking
than the old crutch of Indiana, and
though carrying less weight than
Morton, yet his run was soon made
and proved an uphill business which
perfectly crushed him and tore the
ensanguined garment to tatters.-
This wave was all the own doings of
Radicalism and a premeditated fresh
outbreak at 'tthe late Rebels" as they
are pleased to call us, and surely NO
seeking Of onrs. But in the House,
Blaine found a foeman worthy of his
steel, and was met on the spot by
Hill, Of Georgia, who stepped to our
defence, made hot work of the new
Radical champion, and caused him
to haul down the garment in double
quick time, and gladly seek and beg
for quarter. We give elsewhere as
much of Mr.. Hills remarks as we
can find space for and heartily CON-
mend them to our readers.

DAN. RIcE.-Colonel Dan Rice Wis
tied our village on last Saturday, on
one days notice, with his New Show,
and was rewarded with a full house,
and deseryedly so, too, for better
entertainment has never been seen
in this place, and one that is well
worthy the attention of every one
The performances of the Wild Bron-
chos and Rocky Mountain Goats are
simply wonderful, and exhibited a
degree of training that astounded
and delighted all in attendance, and
the marvellous blind horse, Excel
sior, although nearly twenty-five
years old, has apparently lost none
of his former vim, and old Dan him
self was never in better humor, and
done all in his power to add to the
lustre of his New Show. He will
visit us again on his return trip, and
we can assure him a canvass full to
overlooking, by giving timely notice.

In the recent election of James
B. Eustis to tire United States Sen
ate, by the joint action of both
Houses of the Legislature as requir-
ed by law, Michael Hahn was the
only Radical in the House who par
ticipated therein, and was the only
one of the joint Houses who voted
against Eustis. In the Senate three
Radicals thereof, Blackburn, Greene
and Alexander, participated and vo-
ted for Eustis. He received full
and clear majority of the joint Legis-
lature. Blackburn presided over the
Senate and conformity with the Spea-
ker declared Eustis legally elected to
the u. S. Senate.

We were pleased to greet our old
favorite, Ned Smith, as the partner
of Tom Dowty, on the Bart. Able, in
the mud-clerk business. Tom is first
and foremost in that most herculean
of steamboat work, and the two to-
gether will make perfect and irwin
chile team in their line. TIE Bart.
