The bill presented at the Comique last evening
was enjoyed by large audience, and II Is safe to
say that better Performance was never witnessed
at this resort The Blonde Minstrel Troupe, com
posed of twelve handsome young ladies, sang q
number of popular songs, and the first part was
made very attractive the gags of the end men be-
ing good and MI new. The olio was made up of q
number of short sketches, songs, &c. in which
Harris and Wood, the German comiques; Favor
and Shields, the Irish empcrors; Top0ck and Long
the "coon" team; Miss Josephine STANLEY, the
serio-cOmic queen, and Frank Lewis, the motto
vocalist, appeared to advantage. Blue Beard,

In i'll becomes newspapers claiming to be

tions and abuse of a man whose only crime is
that he was cheated out Of the Presidency to

This relates to TTLDEN, and it shows how
sadly the COurier-JOuRdl has got mixed on
this question. 1t keeps insisting that TIL
DEN was cheated out of the Presidency,
when the truth of the matter is that he
failed in being cheated into it.

1t is a matter of regret that the other attractions
now presented in the city subtracted to such n
degree from the audience at the l. Street Baptist
Church last evening. Professor Mason the young

however to the refined literary tastes of those pres

THE Bourbons of Virginia are just now
moved to the very depths of their souls by
the prospect of new party springiug into
life in that State like young HERCULES
The Adiusters is what they call themselves

seem worth while to change the location.
The pensioners are those to be considered in
this matter, for they are those who are to
be accommodated The Pension Agent

THE Republican Senators are being in
timidated from the performance of plain
duty in the CoRBIN case by threats that, in
the event of the admission of that gentle
man to his seat, he will be expelled, and

Gratis get control of that body. 1t remains
to be seen how many of them will yield to
this class of bull-dozing.

out of the anti-Chinese bill becomes thinner

Another bloody battle was fought in
RheatOwn last Friday evening. From
the evidence given in at the trial Satur-
day morning before 'Squires Dickinson
and Livingston, we CLEAN the following.
The battle was opened about hundred
aud fifty yards from the Moore mansion,
by one jim Nelson, a considerable pu
gilist of African descent. He, accord
ing to testimony, saw the Moore chill
dren numbering something under half
a dozen, including the blusHing but
brave Miss Kate, the eldest, who was
leading the van,) going from the spring
up the hill to their home, when he ran
out into the road and stopped them with
threatening language There are con
fictiug reports as 20 who "struck de
fustest," but proof showed that the wal.
like Jim, in the heated passion Of his
anger, raised his mighty arm and smote
a smole upon the placid face of Kate
that sent her sprawling TO the ground
He then betook himself after the terri.
fed children, ringing kukluxish yells
in their ears as they went busting up the
hill TO the fort. jim, on gaining the
top Of the hill, within twenty steps Of
the Moore establishment, was confront
ed by Mrs. Moore and commanded 10
leave. This he refused 10 do, but jump
ed on the old woman and beat her in
a most brutal manner, tearing out her
hair and knocking her down with
rock. Nelson was bound over TO court,
which is now sitting.

Consulting the financial condition
of the State we find a debt of TWEEN
ty.four million dollars in bonds
standing against US. No portion of
these have ever been declared lille
gal or fraudulent, although legisla-
tive committees have canvassed the
matter time and again. So far from
attempting to discredit these bonds.
we have done all that could be done
to commend them to public conf
dence. A law authorizing guardians
and fduciaries to invest the trust
funds in their hands in the bonds
of the State, has for years, and now
stands upon our statute-book. Now
it is not asked that we pay all these
bonds, but only one-half, in thirty
years, with four per cent. interest,
In the name of justice, is this re-
curing too much?
