one Of the best circuses that has APP
peared in this city for long time. Ey-

Frank A. Robbins circus may well be

The South On Trial.

The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle com
mends Mr.. CARLISLE for appointing Mr.
RANDALL TO the craftsmanship OF his old
committee. II regards the Speakers
action as far-seeing and fair-minded. 1t
adds:
"The Democratic party can afford to
make no mistake before its enemies nor
TO create any division within its own
ranks. The South, particularly at this
juncture, when its loyalty to the Union
and its standing in the nation seems to
be again or trial, needs the backing OF
united party and the services of both
Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Randall
The loyalty of the South again on
trial. What commentary upon Ameri-
can patriotism that there should be oc-
casion TO write these words a quarter Of
century after the war ended. The
South dragged to the bar OF n high court
of libel and vindictiveness by MURAT
HALsTEAD. JOHN SHERMAN, WHrTELAw
REID, and the rest OF the m0lig-
nants And greater the shame
of the spectacle there are south
ern men to whom the Republican
party has given certificates Of loyalty
who stand 10y and refuse to lift up their
voices either as advocates or witnesses in
the South's behalf. If northern Repub-
licans are to be condemned for their per
secution and prescription OF the South,
what must be said of southern Repub-
licans who have allowed these things TO
continue when they had it in their power
to put stop 10 them?

Wade Whipple's "Moses Dodd,
in the Dispatch of yesterday, deserves
to be remembered among tue best short
poems in American literature. Ii equal
to Lowell's charming writings which won
him fame. We do not know what per-
sonageis hidden under the cloak of Wade
Whipple. but We congratulate the writer,
whoever the writer may be, with all our
heart. "Moses Dodd" ought to become
historic, and ii it does not DO so i'm
mediately, it will be due TO that literary
lethargy which keeps too many Virgi-
mans unconscious of lettered genius in
their midst till it has been revealed to
them by the orscles of New York or Bos-
ton. -RichmOnd state.
We agree with the State in its
estimate of Moses Dodd." The
author of the poem, however, is New
Yorker, not Virginian, as he ought
to be. lie has rubbed up against our
people so much that We always feel
disposed to claim him as kind of cousin. !
