CANDIDATE FOSTER has revived some
unpleasant memories regarding the cause
or inception Of this extra session of Con-
gress He says, in effect, that it began in
fun and is ending in tragedy, referring, of
course, to the attempts of the Randallites
to force the extra session for the purpose of
securing the reelection of their candidate
for Speaker. 70 some extent this is true !;
and so far as it is true, all the ills born and
bred of our national legislative disturbance
during two and half months are traceable
to the office-gettng ambition of SAM RAN
DALI and his fellow-plunderers. The few
Democrats who are disgusted with the pres
ent attitude of affairs, and who believe that
their party has lost ground in the public
confidence during that period, are not in
cined to overlook this fact, and will ac-
cordingly hold RANDALL and his friends
responsible for their share of the disagree
able results which are now following.

THE hard-money Democrats of Ohio and
they are not few in number, seem to have

The only recourse left to them is to remain
away from the polls at the coming election

gether to the utter dismay of the Republi-

nomination for Governor would have elic-
tied better and more active work than
EwING's.
IT begins to look as if the Democrats had
purposely prepared a loop-hole in their
amended caucus measures through which
the Administration can escape from their
partisan restrictions without any difficulty.
A law which does not deprive or circum-
scribe the President in the execution of his
duties as commander-in-chief of the army
is certainly not the kind of a law they in
tended to enact when this extra session be-
gan. But it remains to be seen whether
even such law will be acceptable to the
President, whose decided and patriotic
ground against the interference by Congress
with the prerogatives of the Executive
has been so thoroughly sustained by the
people at large.

IT now looks rs if the Louisville Courier
Journal is to hang upon the ianks Of the
Democratic army in Ohio, and afford it
quite as much annoyance MS it will care to
encounter 1t has been thoroughly handi-
capped in TILDENs interest, and hence has
auarelled with HENDRICKs, and has ieal-
ous eye upon THURMAN, who is thought to
be slightly in TMDEN's way in Ohio, Just
previous to the Ohio convention the Courier
Journal said: "To Judge THURMAN this
convention is great emergency. Beaten
"in his own person, or beaten by proxy, his
star goes down. and with it much Demo
cratic worth and many Democratic hopes"
THURMAN was beaten. EWING, his prOtcge
for the occasion, was put upon the ticket,
and his star, like that of his benefactor,
must 90 down also for the reason that TIL
DENs future positively demands it, and
whatever the Cipher Ogre demands Of the
Comier-JOURHi is as inexorable as the de-
crces of fate, Kentucky borders Ohio, and
the C0urier-JOu1lM controls Kentucky :
hence there is neither aid nor comfort in
store for EWING and his cause in that quar-
ter There will be very little Kentucky
voting in Ohio this year unless the C-J
changes its attitude,

ACCORDING to the report of the Demo-
cratic caucus the repeal measures "were
placed on appropriation bills simply as the
most convenient method of passage in point
of economy of time and as the method CIV
ing greater prospect of the Presidential ap-
proval" Things do not always turn out in
accordance with prospects. The Democ-
racy certainly have not gained any time
by the rider process on this occasion. Then
they evidently expected much from the
President, but he proved more of man
than they had expected, They seem to
have had an idea that " for peace sake he
would submit to their partisan demands,
rather than be true TO his oath of office.
We are right glad that the President has
thus proved himself before the world, and
that an occasion has presented itself for
him to thus exercise his prerogative rs the
high executive Of gSeat and free people.

Jefferson as Rip Van Wrinkle.

4 refined and appreciative audience
assembled at the Opera House last
evening to witness Mr.. Joseph Jeiler-
son render Rip Van Wrinkle. This play
is presented somewhat differently by
different actors, the principal change
being that Rips wife Gretchen dies
while he is asleep in the mountains.
The true story, however, says that she
did not die, but lived to again see her
husband, whom she so cruelty turned
out of doors. Ii seems To us that MIR.
Jefferson has caught the true spirit OF
the story, as he acts the character OF
Rip true 10 nature, to which
the numerous burts of applause or the
steathy tear gave ample testimony last
night. His manner, while endeavorlng
10 recover his bottle from his wife, or
when announcing that his name was
once Rip Van Wrinkle, is particularly
fine. i'm fact. throughout the entire
play we almost imagine We see before
us the original, Jolly, good humOred,
but worthless and drunken, Rip Van
Wrinkle. Mr.. Jefferson is fortunately
supported by a company whose acting
deserves special and separate notice, so
we'll did they render the parts assigned
them. We are. at a loss, though, to
whom to award the most praise, wheth-
er to the overreaching Derrick Won
Beekman or the quarrelsome Gretchen,
for the able manner in which they per
sonificd their respective characters.
Not little should also be awarded little
Steenie and Hendrick Nedder.

The Life of p. IT. Barnum, Written by
Himself

Barnum's life has been an eXtraordi-
nary one, and the great Snowman, in
writing the iiitieth chapter, which
brings his struggles and Triumphs'
down to 1879, has put the finishing
touch 10 the most entertaining and in
structive autobiography which has been
published since that of DIR. Franklin.
Barnum's strange and varied eXperien-
ccs i'm all parts OF the world, his ups and
downs and ms pleasant method of de-
scribing them, make his book read like
a romance. The late Horace Greeley
said i'm his Tribune: The reading OF
Barnum's checkeIed life, and especially
the chapter containing his lecture on
The Art of MOney-tietting, is worth a
hundred-dollar greenbaCk to many a
new beginner. While Barnum's book
is full of anecdotes and fun, its moral
tone is unexceptiOnable. 1t is a capital
book for the rising generation. 1t
teaches them how To live, prosper and
he happy. Over 100000 copies have
been sold i'm his great show since 1869.
The price has been reduced to the bare
cost Of printing, being neatly bound IN
muslin gilt, full OF pictures, and sold UNI
der the tent for fifty cents, or at the
ticket office for ono dollar, including a
fifty cent ticket 10 the great show. 1t
is the cheapest book published in Amer
lea, and could not be gotten up for the
price except by printing i'm editions OF
4 hundred thousand at a time.
