season he has increased it to enormous
proportions. One Of the most grand,
novel aud exciting features added being o
magnificent Paris hippodrome, with o
race track, completely encircling three
circus rings, forty feet wide and nearly q
half mile round employing over two hun
drcd artists and q tribe Of Indians. Coup
has grand menagcric besides, and uses
nine bands Of music. His museum is also
splendid, requiring dozen engines to op.
erite the different features.
Both in the three circllses and hippo
drome, many Of the acts are entirely new,
and are the theme ofuniversal admiration
and praise by the public and the press,
Among these are the Indians. the Zulus,
thclying I4u l4u, the dashing Geraldine,
ETC., whose wonderful feats and perform
ances hnvc no parallel 10 the annals Of the
stage or ring. AS an evidence Of the es-
timation in which Coup's show is held by
the press, VIC give the following briet ex>
tracts:
"W. G. Coup's mammoth Touring
circus, menagerie and Paris hippodrome,
arrived in this city yesterday on three i'm
mcnse trains, to each Of which were at
tached two locomotives, the combined
length of the the several trains was nearly

THE INFERIOR CoURT.--This tri-
kal convened in this city on Mon
sTiaa, and the grand jury having
IN drawn was charged at length by
!! ID recently elected chairman, Col. w.
Allen. The charge was clear and
eetical and the subjects judiciously
ected.
Re regard the selection of Col. AL
fl Tor the post which he occupies, as
intimate for the efficiency and popu-
! pxity of the court, as he is learned,
experienced, patient and fair, and this
court will hereafter receive more of the
confidence of the people, be more re-
garded as q tribunal of Justice than
heretofore. We do not approve of the
law under which the court is organ
lied; we think it unjust and unwise in
many particulars and we know that
many citizens regard it as a nuisance,
but many of these defects are mitiga-
ted when the court is conducted by one
who knows the right and not only APP
proves 1t, but follows it as his guiding
Star.
The court was we'll represented by
gentlemen Of the legal persuasion. We
only noticed Mr.. Oliver III. Allen of
Duplin, visiting lawyer. Theresident
members of the Bar in attendance are
/. Messrs. Dortcll & Son, Allen Il Isler,
frainger ~ Bryan, Clarke 4 Son,

A STORMY time was experienced in
the U. S. Senate, last Monday, over
the position of the new Senator from
Virginia, Malone, who, although
elected as Democrat, cast his first
vote with the Republicans. The
action was stigmatized by Senator
Pendleton as base betrayed of trust.
Malone claimed that he was elected
as Readjuster, local State issue,
and that he was at liberty to vote as
he pleased on all questions of ma
tional polity. The question was
discussed at considerable length by
Conkling, Hill, Hoar, Pendleton and
Logan, the Democrats condeming
and the Republicans approving the
action of Malone. There is no
doubt from his utterances that he
intends to remain with the party
which dispenses the patronage.
