sions, the streets were thronged with visi-
tors from the surrounding county, all In
tent, together with the people Of the city,
upon seeing the grand free street parade,
and a majority to witness the performance
inside the tent. No show which has ever
visited our town could compare with 1t in
the number OF persons and animals employ
ell, and when In procession together formed
a line quite 4 half mile IN length, and beau
tlfuI to behold. The menagerle contained,
along with numerous other rare animals, q
large two-horned rhinoceros, q sight of
whose hugh proportions was well worth tbs
price of admission to the whole show. The
seven elephants, the herd OF cameIs, the
zebra, the sacred OK, the African wild hog,

golden PLEASANT. badgers. tigers, lions,
bear, monkeys. and numerous other animals
and birds were all there AZ advertised. and
were the objects of curious inspection by
old and young, many lingering inside the
isn't where they were confined long after
the commencement of the circus performance
under an adjoining canvass. The ring ex.
hibition was very superior bath ig variety
and excellence and was totally devoid OF
coarseness and vulgarlty. Throughout the
exhibition the feats of craftsmanship

were sufficient to attract the almost breath

actions " the clowns the balancing ; the

no show which has ever visited US has given
such general satisfaction, and the universal
verdict is that it is well worthy the patro-

THE Cleveland Herald wants Lynch law
introduced into the South. The Herald
people are evidently excited. They al
ways are about election time at some
murder down South. The fact is it is
wrong to encourage lawlessness and vio-
lence anywhere. The murders all over
the country; the lynching occasionally
North as we'll as South; the riots now
and then, Pittsburgh two years ago, &c,
all show the danger there would be in
giving countenance to lawlessness. What
does the Herald mean by such foolish
ness Is its aim political?
Violence and murder are wrong South
and wrong North and the people Of the
South are no more responsible for the
crime of individuals there than are the
people of the North. Barksdale's MUIR
der of Dixon in YazOo, Miss, is his deed,
and for it let him be held responsible.
What folly and meanness to call all the
people OF the South assassins and mur.
derers on account of the death of Dixon.
AS well might the people of Connecticut
be held criminally Culpable for Rev. Hay
den's murder of Mary Stannard. OF
course the Herald'S object is wholly po.
litiCal wishing to arouse the North
against the South, in order to get votes
to its waning cause.

THE CLEVELAND ASYLUM.


The Board of Trustees of the Cleveland
Asylum for the insane, met in regular
session on Wednesday of last week, and
after the usual routine business was
disposed of, the matter of superintend-
ent Strong's attempt to remove the drug
gist, Mr.. R. ]. GUNNER, came up. Mr..
Gunner claimed the Doctor, under the
law, could not remove the druggist, that
power resting with the Board.
s. E. Adams Esq, presented the case
on behalf Of Mr.. Gunner, when Doctor
Strong gave history Of the matter,
charging Gunner with insubordination,
in not obeying his order of removal,
and other conduct since. Mr.. Gunner
gave his version of the affair, and closed
by preferring list of over forty charges
against Doctor Strong, charging ilcom-
potency, negligence, &c.
After giving the parties patient hear
ing, the Board passed a resolution dis
missing the druggist, believing it for the
best interest Of the institution, but with
out prejudice to the character of the
young man.
The Board adjourned to meet on the
first Tuesday Of September, in room
in the city building in Cleveland to hear
testimony on the charges preferred
against the Doctor.

Alliance seem to have been in trouble.
A week or 80 ago the brethren had big
row, and, according to the ReviesO, 6ght,
Mr.. Flower is no longer editor, the COM

ing interest is owned by Mr.. Coates. Con-
ficting spirits seem to be there, and
hence the disturbance. Sweet accord
and harmony do not prevail. Il is a
pity, for brethren should dwell together
in unity. AS political organ and sup
porter of Hartshorn, the Age was very

GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT is
DUE.

Business is reviving, trade is improV-
.int say the Republican leaders and their
io.iFnals, and this is all due, they say, to
imam and resumption. They give
86 credit to the good crops and the econ
omy Of oSE people, that throws the bal
ance o trade in our favor Until the
pas lsw years we imported more than
y exported, some years the balance
against us being near $4OO,OOO,OQO. The
last three or four years this has been
changed, and the balance of trade has
beeu largely in our favor, the last two
years amounting to 6OO00,0OO. Under
this improved condition, business and
depressed industries must improve. 1t
could not be otherwise.
But what has John Sherman, with his
shams and frauds, to do with thisP He
and his party have opposed all reforms
on the part of a Democratic Congress-
The cutting down of appropriations has
been done after fierce struggle with a
Republican Senate and a Republican
administration. John Sherman q Co.,
endeavored to continue lavish and ex'
travagant expenditure. These are facts
of history. Give credit where credit is
due. Never give the old father of evil
credit-for he never deserves it.

A HO DEBATE BETWEEN THE
M. E. BRETHREN AND THE DIS
CIPLES.
A four days debate came of last week
at Millwood, Knox county, in this State,
between the M. E. Church and the Disci-
Plies; the contestants being the Rev. Bar
CESS of Indianapolis, President Of the
Disciples University at that place, and
Rev. Barnes, who represents the Metho'
dists. This debate commenced Wednes-
day, and continued four days, the ques-
ton debated being, "Are the teachings
and practices Of the so'Called Disciples
of Christ in keeping with the teachings
of the apostlesP" The same question
was debated, the Methodist church was
substituted in place of the Disciples Of
Christ.
The moderators were, Rev. Burns for
the Disciples and DR.. Moffit for the Meth.
odists, tbe referee being the Hon. Co.
lumbus Delano of Mt. Vernon. The
church inside was crowded, and the
platforms outside were more than crow
ded with people who came to hear.
Many went away, unaccommodated the
first day, and the attendance constantly
increased with every day of the debate.
1t is estimated as many as 5000 people
were in attendance. The reverend de-.
baters, at the close of the forenoon ses
sion Wednesday, showed considerable
inclination to worry the moderators and
referee with troublesome questions con-
Cerning the manner in which the debate
should be carried on, but their puzzles
were soon put an end to by that old and
consummate lawyer, Columbus Delsno,
who arose, and in the most bland man
ner and politest of ways, requested the
divines to reduce their questions to writ
ing, which they proceeded to do, while
the crowd, moderators and referee pro-
ceeded to dine. Of course, both parties
gained the victory.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Hayes, Postofice organ at
Alliance supports Lsiblin, the Ma.
tional GreenbaCk leader and candidate
of two years ago. Mr.. Laiblin then pro-
nounced the Republican party corrupt,
and unworthy of the support Of honest
men and good citizens. He was then
strong in his denunCiation of the party
and it's corrupt leaders. Many consist
ent Republicans have not forgotten Mr..
Laiblin's course two years ago, and will
show him they have not forgotten it.
Nationals also appreciate him and his
crooked course. Laiblin must not imsg.
inc people are to be fooled by him 80
easily. After election Laiblin will see
who is fooled.
Henry Altekruse is a straightforward
man, and commands the respect of all
who know him, regardless of party.

TIE fresh batch of the Presidential
rascality just given out by Casanave, and
the N. Y. Suns report of Justice Miller's
admission as to Louisiana having gone
for Tilden, are appropriate just now,
when Sherman, Foster, Schurz & Co.,are
appealing to the people Of Ohio to rally
to the support of the Republican party,
as the party of "honest money" of all
purity, and "the party of great moral
ideas" Under all these circumstances
it must take cheek for these hardened
politicians to go before the people, and
claim their support.

THE people have tried Edwin Ferrall
in the Senate, and found him honest, ca
pable, worthy, faithful and as true to the
interests of the people as the needle to
the pole Why should he be set aside
for the Hartshorn family, whose record
and dealings while building that college,
and as exposed in Stark county courts,
smell very loud? Not on the grounds Of
U. s. Senatorship, because there is not
even remote prospect of the Republi-

Legislature. We have over forty major
ity in the present Legislature, and the
prospects are that we will have a greater
majority in the one to be elected this
fall.- Carroll Chronicle.

Nor less than thirty per cent of the ad-
ult males of Rhode Island are robbed of
suffrage by property qualification and
other devices. 1t is high time for Con-
gress to inquire whether the Constitution
of Rhode Island is republican in form.
We do not see Why, if thirty per cont of
the men Of that State may be disfran-
chised, eighty per cent may not be. The
duty of the United States is to guarantee
to each State republican form Of gov
ernment. Rhode Island is an oligarchy.

REPUBLICAN legislation robbed the mill
lions to enrich the few; it doubled the
debts of the debtors, and doubled, or
more than doubled the value of United
States bonds, and thus doubled at least
the burdens Of the people. By all this
the Republican party correspondingly
enriched the creditors. All this seems
to have been the mission, and the only
mission Of the Republican party.
