PARKERsBURe, July s.-f all reports are
true, the proprietors OF Richards circus
are the meanest set Of men that have gulled
the public with q one horse show. This So
called circus has been taken in all little
places, such as ST. Marys, and other small
villages on the Ohio river, and also
went up the Little Kanawhs
to Burning Springs. II appears
that the proprietors are in areage on sal.
aries due the attaches, such as canvass
men. &c. Friday morning as the concern
was returning to this point in tow OF the
steamer King, when nearing Newark, Q
small town about twenty-five miles above
here, the proprietors suggested that they
stop at Newark for lunch, rs il would be
late in the night before the boat would
reach Parkersburg. The suggestion was
with ten cen, each to pay for q
lunch, and the boat showed out
and left them. The show arrived here late
in the night and proceeded on down the
Ohio. The deserted and penniless men
were compelled to walk distance Of twen-
five miles, intending to have the fraud tied
up here, but were too late to do so, how
ever they will make an effort to overhaul
the concern, and it is hoped they will sue
ceed in bringing the rascals to justice.

The Greenback Senatorial Convention
last Saturday was indefinitely postponed
for a purpose, which we presume is known
only to the party leaders In this Senatorial
district.
Our Greenback Friends
are going to put forth every effort during
the coming campaign, and the most thor
ough organization Is now being effected.
Every school district that can muster cor
porars guard of Greenbackers will .contri-
butte their mite and their influence towards
the success OF the. party: The following
well known and eminent Greenback orators
will take part in the canvass: Gen. Lowe,
of Alabama, who successfully contested the
right of Representative Wheeler TO seat
in Congress Gen. West, OF Miss. Col. Jesse
Harper, OF ILL.,; Col. s. +. Norton, OF the

address here on the 4th inst.
The Sentinel OF the Sth inst. informs its
readers that the WHEELING REGISTER cor

There are persons to be found In every
community who have the happy faculty OF
making mountain out OF mole hill. The
author OF the article published by the

the observance Of the 4th inst, in this city,
certainly possesses that faculty. Your cor

source, that the original programme as
published had been carried out, and that
the Declaration of Independence had been
read, and that the address had been made
by the gentleman named. An intelligent
public fails 10 see what particular injustice
has been done to any one. The article
concludes as follows: This Is one Of the
numerous instances in which there has
been either q wilful Misrepresentation or
else the correspondent did not make
himself acquainted with the facts in the

above is unjust and entirely unwarranted.
"a friend OF the REGIsIER" writing from
Parkersburg, was slightly mistaken when
lie said that "the Catholics were the only
ONES who celebrated the day &C." The day
was observed in an appropriate manner at
the Court House by our citizens, and an
interesting address was delivered by Rev.
Warwick Martin. .
