Coup's Eauescurrieu,um,

Coup's brand new show with the long name
exhibits on the Western Promenade this after
noon and evening. Doors open at 80 and Z. 30
p m. genuine Tally-ho coach parades tho
streets this morning, notifying the people of
the great event. The exhibition in many of its
features is unlike anything ever before seen in
this city. If there was nothing in the show
but the marvellous feats of the drove of Bron-
cho horses, all beautiful animals, these alone
would amply repay for the time and money
spent in witnessing. These animals are SO ad.
mirably trained 10 military tactics that under
the order of word Of mouth they perform eyo-
lutions which for precision would be creditable
to beiogs of intelligence. With these animals
there are wonderful feass of marching, counter
marching, wheeling, breaking and forming
ranks, firing pistols and choosing flags The
feats of the leaping horse are indeed wonder
full, but no less SO than the intelligence dis
played in choosing the time to make the leap
over other horses. Tue next great feature is
the tricks of the troop of dogs. The five dogs
act as court, make al accusation of theft,
bring in verdict. erect scaffoId, hang one of
their number,put his body in hearse aud take
the corpse away. The gigantic devi!-fsh is Ia
great curiosity and alone worth the price of
admission. A giraffe in harness. den OF per-
forming lions and leopards. and Prof RichtePs
flying machine are few of the other numerous
interesting features. Everything connected
with the exhibition is conducted in moral and
refined manner. The show exhibits but two
days and it is advisable TO 90 early to avoid the
rush which will be sure to come the second day,
after the merits of the exhibition are spread
abroad by the spectators. The Lewiston Jour
nal of the 10th inst. speaking of the show
says: "We have never seen so many rev and
novel features under one tent"

STEAM NAYIGATIoN.-The seventh annual
meeting of the National Board of Steam Nav-
CATION is to be held at the Grand Hotel, Cincin-
natl, Ohio, on Wednesday, Sept. 4:h next, A
call has been issued by the secretary of the
board inviting the attendance of all who are
interested in the objects for which the associa-
ton was organized, and which it is seeking to
attain at the hands Of Congress. viz: Better
safeguards for lifesand property, fixed and per-
mauent rules of navigation, relief from the
exactions of patent-right vendoss, and protec-
tion from undue liability. The steamboat own
ers of our country have for years felt oppressed
by useless appliances that have been thrust up
on them by impractical men through Congress,
and many patents which have been placed on
board steamers, when brought into practical
use, have proved entirely worthless, and were
reliance to be placed upon such Inventions
their uses would result in danger and even dis
aster. What the steamboat people really want
are such laws framed by practical and expert
enced men as shall protect the public interests
alike with their owe, and such subject GER
tainly is one of much concern to our whole
country. The Local Association of Cincinnati
is making preparation to give delegates gen.
euous and tospitable welcome, and they hope TO
see present large representation from the
Eastern part of the country.

The New Party.

Whatever may DC the defects in the or
ganizaton Of the Nationals, or Green
hackers or Workngmen. or the crudencss
Of their platforms, they are redeemed t.
some extent by the fact that professional
politicians and the regulation resolutions
are excluded and the work. such as it l.,
is done by their own hands. This is
rather a merit than the contrary, and it
proves at least that this popular movement
begins at the bottom, where foundations
are usually laid, and not at the top.
The ideas of unframed men on finance or
any other great question, are likely to bo
confused in the beginning, especially whom
men OF large experience in public affairs,
and Of professional training, who pretend
t. teach the untutored, are like the blind
leading the blind. Many of the speeches in
Congress are quite as bad as the declara-
lions OF the syracuse platform, though they
may be more pretcntious in the form of eX-
preston
This movement from the body Of tho peo-
pie is directed by one main thought and
that IS to bring about II practical reform in
the Government, and to seek II remedy for
existing evils. After while it will be
found that financial theories, and visionary
spocuatons, and impncticable notions will
not bring work for the willing or bread for
the hungry Our people learn fast, and it
viii not be long before the new party has
gained moro than enough training in the
old methods of politics. The longer they
are Ignorant Of them tho better for their
present experiment.
But II they are deficient in learning and in
the rriinements OF stttesmanship. they are
not wanting in some of tho qualities that 20
very far e. make up strong organization.
Whoever will examine how their nomina-
ton5 for Congress have been spotted over
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin. and
different States OF tie West, to say nothing
OF those made in Maine aud proposed for
other New England States, cannot fail to
discover not only a great deal O. native
slrowdncss, but ar Intention which is very
significant.
The districts usually selected are Republ-
can, with maJuritl,5 which Il detection of
five hundred or n thousand votes would
leave In minority, and open the door TO u
Democrat or National. as might be agreed

what Every True Democrat should DO.

The humblcst voter In the country who is
D sincere believer in true, Jcllersonian
Democracy. has an important duty to per-
form in the election of members of Con-
grcss. Let him take an active part in
selecting delegates TO the nominating con-
rcnton. and see to il that no delegate Is
sent who will vote for the denomination OF
any man who stands on the Congressional
RocOrd committed to the doctrine that
uAYEs's title Is sacred. That doctrine l.
directly at variance with every principle
Of Democracy, and no man pledged to II is
entitled 10 Democratic support.
There are plenty Of men for candidates
No district Is so poor that it contains only
one Democrat fit TO represent IL In Congress.
There is no particular reason for reGlccting
\ man because he has been elected once
On general principles, he may just as well
stand aside and let some one else go But
where lac has voted for the declaration that
HAYES title is sacred, no other reason
should be required or looked after for set
ting him aside. That is enough. 1t should
be conclusive.
These questions Of principle all have a
practical bearing. Everything depends on
them. No Democrat Is true To his principles
who does not oppose the reelection II a
Representative in Congress who voted for
the ridiculous and abomnablc declaration
that HAYES title is sacred.

The way John sherman Puts It.

There is something cpigrammatlc in the
way Mr.. joins SHERMAN, Secretary of the
Treasury and brother OF Gen. WILLIAM TE-
CUMsFH SHERMAN, describes the administra-
tion OF Gen. GRANT in Louisiana. He says It
reads like II history OF hell. This is strong
language; but Mr. SHERMAN professcs to
have made himself familiar with the sub
iect, and he was a supporter OF GRANT.
II Is proposed to reflect Gen. GRANT.
Since he went out Of Office he has spent his
time counting honors from the monarchical
Governments Of the Old World He has
been studying those Governments. There
is no reason to expect that, if reelected, he
would make an Administration anywise diff
ferent from what he made before unless il
should be more monarchcal. GRANT was
particularly felt in Louisiana, and there his
friend SHERMAN tells US that tho history Of
his rule reads like a history on hell.
All persons in favor of converting this
country into pandcmonium will support
Gen. GRANT for reelection.
