GLORIOUS OCTOBER 4TH.

them, from Jumbo and the thirty mine

shutting an indescribably immense and
wonderful entertainment in its way
genuine phenomenon; mourning an
expense almost incredible, attracting vast
throngs beyond all precedent, and exercis-
ing a popular influence altogether unpar-
aIlelled. From the highest to the lowest,
its sway is all potent Congress, state leg
islatures and courts adjourn to see it, and,
everywhere, colleges, public schools, facto-

The interesting and highly instructive
chronological congress of strange savage
tribes, the 100000 sacred white elephant,
Jumbo, the lord of beasts; the two monster
menageries, the stupendous herd of forty
elephants, the museu of human maryels,

three great circusses In three rings, the
huge elevated stage for Olympian games,
the grandly classic Roman hippodrome, the
royal caravan of thirty-two camsls and
dromedaries, the host of foreign celebrities,
the ten acres of tremendous tents-two full
sets of which are used, one being put up

seven enormous special railroad trains of
rare living features and astonishing per-
formances, the grand and sensational free
street pageant; these and many other at
fractions we have not space to name, have
much, but not all, to do with its prestige and
success. The notable fact that it is man
aged by upright men, upon square business
principles, deals honestly with the public,
and is really a moral as well as a mighty
show, secures for it the recognition and
hearty approval of thousands of people
daily, who are never seen at any other
travelling entertainment. Its average at
tendance may be; reasonably estimated at
5000, and undoubtedly equal, il not ex-
coed, that here. Such an assemblage will
alone be worth coming a long way to see.

The Colored Excursion.

The excursion to Kansas City, over the
Lexington branch, last Tuesday, by the
members and friends OF the African Meth
odist Episcopal church OF this city, as far
as numbers was concerned, was a grand
success. Besides those living 10 this city,
there were excursionists from the north
and south, including the Clinton colored
brass brand.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Lew Thomas, with Engineer White at
the throttle, and made the run TO Kansas
City and back without single mishap.
The object OF the excursion was to raise
funds 10 build a new church In this city,
ami realized quite a handsome little sum
for that purpose. The proceeds would
have been more but for the invasion of
the baggage car by party of vandIls who
destroyed property to the value of about
$40.
Officers Lum Parker and Drake, OF this
city, went with the party as keepers of the
peace, and all who attended were perfectly
satisfied with the manner in which they
were treated.

THE SUPREME COURT.

A writer in the New Yo1k Sun calls at
tention to an evil which has long demanded
a remedy. This is the condition of the bust
States. There are over one thousand cases
on the docket, and entered now, in the
ordinary course, cannot be heard for three
years, which in many instances becomes a
practical denial of justice. All judgments
and DEGREES of the value of So, 600 are sub
ject to review. Judgment from the courts of
the District of Columbia, whose name is le-
gion, involving 81, 500, may be reviewed. All
cases under the civil rights, without regard
to the amount of money at stake, can be ap-
pealed. So, too, of patent, of copyright, and
of all other cases, many of which of small
Importance.
Several plans have been proposed to cor
rect the increasing evil, and two interests
have come in conflict as to the form of re-
lief The lawyers in the great cities near to
the capital, and others established at Wash
ington, have had substantial monopoly Of
the business before the Supreme court. Nat
urally, they oppose any project which would
distribute that business and break up their
practice. The lawyers throughout the coun-
try removed from the centres of commerce
want the monopoly at the capital overthrown
for their benefit. Judge Davis bill,
which passed the senate, provides for
an intermediate court in each of
the existing circuits, and for the appoint
ment of eighteen additional Circuit judges.
The item of patronage was one of the prin-
cipal objections to this measure, but that
was overcome by the agreement of the Pres
ident to divide the judges between the two
political parties if the bill should become a
law. 1t is now pending before the House of
Representatives, and is regarded by eminent
members of the bar as the most desirable of
all the schemes presented to Congress for re-
1ieving the Supreme court of a most vexa-
tious pressure. The opposing interests ad-
vocate an intermediate court, but they desire
it to sit at Washington, side by side with the
tribunal of last resort.
It is to be hoped that the coming session
of Congress will see this important matter
settled. The people of this country ought
to be able to get justice speedily in the high
est court in the land

COMMUNICATIONS
An Explanation.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
After war comes the historian and the
analyzer to explain what were the causes of
the strife After the recent word war, very
properly, comes an explanation of the causes
which led to such a discussion.
Trinity church petitiened the Common
Council for ground to extend their church
-edifice Whether through an oversight of
the Common Council or through their delib-
crate generosity or through the diplomacy of
the petitioners, the request was granted.
The United society petitioned the Common
Council for ground to extend their church
building.
Trinity church, in accordance with the per-
mission given, has enlarged its building
and increased the seating capacity of the
house.
The United society, if permission should
be given, would enlarge its building, but
would not increase the seating capacity of its
present auditorium; it would use the extern
sion for church parlors and Sunday school
rooms; in short, the addition would serve
the purposes of chapel. This, though not
expressed, is understood. Am l not right!
Now Trinity church possesses chapel on
Temple street; the chapel of the Center
church is on Chapel street; the United
church also has a chapel on Temple street
just above Elm. What does she want of
another! Plainly, in order that she
may sell her property on Church street
and also chapel on Temple street. But why
should she alone of the three churches be
allowed to build her chapel on the Green?
If she had asked for the same amount of
land as Trinity and for the same purpose the
law of precedent would justly have entitled
her to the same favor and permission; as
things are, ,however,-but the Common Coun.
ell will doubtless do what is best in the mat
ter. ANALYzER.
