Going for Bob IngersOll.

Bob Iugersoll evidently struck the
wrong town when he lectured in Will
mington, Delaware. The castigation he
received from Chief Justice Corregy who
! recommended his indictment for bias
phemy was not suffered to go without a
supplement. The final report of the grand
jury of Newcastle county, after strongly
endorsing the Chief Justices declarations,
warmed up with subject as followed:
1.-The audacity with which the notorious
blasphemer known as Robert G. Ingersoll
recently announced his purpose to lecture
in this city on infidelity, has no parallel
in the habits of respectable vagabondism.
Practically he therein proposes to destroy
the sanctity and comforting influences
of the Sabbath, to undermine the as
surances of faith and hope, the very
pillars upon which religion rests, to
spread broadcast among us people, happy
in the promises of the Bible, blank fear
full doubt to extinguish every ray of
light that may shine upon the trusting
Christians path of life and in death
even to the souls enternal rest. For the
assurances of prompt and exemplary
punishment which the honorable, the
court has expressed in all such cases
hereafter, not only the grand jury, but
all earnest Christians will give earnest
thanks, and to the end that this despised
reviler of religion may not again deal out
his impious rhetoric in our city with
impunity, and grand jury recommend
that the city authorities be requested to
prevent his public appearance here in
future in the character OF arch-blas-
phemer and reviler of God and religion.
Let him be taught that in Delaware
blasphemy is crime and as such will be
punished by fine and imprisonment"

A Horrible DiseoTery-The Inaugural
tIOn Ball 10 BE MoHopolIked by Ne.
grOes.
isp,eial la the PisIn Dcalsr.l
WASHINGTON. February i2.-The man
ayers Of the Inauguration jamhoree have
struck another snag and Washington
society is terribly torn up. IL was the
intention 10 make the Inauguration ball a
swell affair. Ii was intended that il
should have all the aristocTatic tone to
il that Washington society aud the at
tendance of the first families" could sup
ply. Alas. for the vanity of human
hopes. Over these magnificent expecta-
tiOns has come cloud aud that cloud is
the colored man and brother. The price Of
tickets WAS fixed 1T five dollars with the
idea that the high price would shut out
the plebeian crowd. IL was vain delu-
sion, for now the horrifying discovery
has been made that of the tickets thus
far sold nearly two thirds have been
bought by negroes. The complaints at
this state of affairs are loud and long
and the select circles of high Republican
society are fairly paralyzed by the idea
of gliding in the may waltz and all that
sOIt VI buiik. dlOHe Win lhS uuohy
swains and damsels of African descent.
The Republican party, the friend of the
oppressed colored man, is Mortified at the
idea of his taking possession of an inaugu'
ration ball in this manner. 1t is one
thing to kick up row because the ca
diets at West Point declined to associate
with an idle, worthless negro boy and to
pass laws compelling people to take the
colored man to, their bosoms, but now
when the colored man exercises his in.
alienable right to pay his five dollars and
go to the inaugural ball there is terri.
BILE wall. But the mischief has been
done and it is hard to see how the diff.
Guilty is going to be got around. As a
matter of fact since the negro has been
so persistently put forward as the social
equal of the white man it is difficult to
see why he has not as good right to &c
to the Inauguration ball.. if he has the
wherewithal to pay for his ticket. At all
events he is likely to be there, and the
sight which the ball will afford will be
one of particular interest.

The Strongest Man Living.

Joseph Pospischill, who is now prisoner
in the Austrial fortress at Olen on con-
viction of highway robbery, is said to be
the strongest man living. One of the feats
for which he was renowned was to sup
port in the air, with his hands and teeth,
a table upon which two gypsies danced,
while tile third fiddled. He and one of
his brothers, only less powerful than him
self. were wont to bear upon their shoul-
ders wooden platfotm shaped like a
bridge, while cart full of stone drawn
by two horses was driven over it. The
other day, when the Jail in which he was
confined was undergoing visit from
the municipal prison inspectors, this
Hercules volunteered to give the au-
thorities specimen of his powers. and,
upon receiving permission to do SO,
picked up with his teeth a heavy ma
hogany table, nine feet long, and bal
anced it aloft for nearly a half minute.

The Government printing Office is al
most daily in receipt of letters from
medical men, throughout the country,
asking where they can obtain copies of
the Medical and Surgical History of
the War. A bill has recently been
introduced in Congress which author
ICES the Public Printer to reprint from
the stereotype plates an edition of 5O,-
900 copies of each of the four volumes
heretofore issued from the Govern
ment Printing Office. The fifth volume
is now going through the press.
Should the bill become law, these
books will be gratuitously distributed

THE great bane in Ohio. is too much
tampering with the laws. We have
entirely too much legislation. Under
the old per diem system, sessions were
protracted and much useless and hurt
full legislation enacted to furnish an
excuse for the time occupied. Under
the present system, members conclude
that they should stay long enough and
do sufficient to give an appearance of
earning their money They can rest
earn their money by doing as hHle as posi-
bic. The spirit of the Constitution
should be respected in that there
should be but one session in two years

session should be confined exclusively
to the passage of the appropriation

The people of this country have
reasons to be thankful that thai
greatest fraud Of the nineteenth
century is soon to be retired to
private life. On the 4th of next month
his term of office will expire, and he
will go forth as a wanderer on the face
of the earth, despised by both of the
great political parties Of this country.
The Plain Dealer of the 4th inst. says:
Three years and eleven months ago to-
day occurred an event that was in some
respects the most remarkable in the an
nails of this country, viz, the inaugura-
tton cfa defeated candidate for the pres'
dency! The American mind recoils in
horror from its contemplation If fsuch a
thing had been suggested to the foun-
ders of this republic as among the
possibilities they would have laughed
the idea to scorn. But it was possible,
and the crime was perpetrated by a
party that bases It's main claim to
popular support upon its assumed
morality and supreme sense of justice
and right We may conclude that the
people will never permit repetition
Of the crime, but its single perpetration
remains to disgrace the nation so long
as it endures. In one month from to-
day General Garfield will be inaugur-
ated as the usurper's successor. While
it Is true that the ceremony will contain
nothing Seasing or satisfactory to
many thousands of people in this
country, the Inauguration will dispense
a certain benefcence in the fact that it
restores the government to an ad-
ministration really chosen by the peo-
pie. To that extent the awful disgrace
that has burdened the nation for so
long will be lifted. Let us be thank
full.
