Democracy.
The nominations lor Mayor and members of
Council having been completed, we have placed
tne ticket at the head ol our local column, and
will continue to publish it until alter the day ol
election. „ , .
It being presented as a Democratic ticket, we
presume each one to be sound in the Demo
cratic laith, and shall expect them to defend
the Democratic principles as Bet forth in the
State and national platforms Upon tbis pre
sumption, we have hoisted the ticket and will
give it our support.
The Intelligencer will not compromise its
principles, nor will it sustain any one as a party
candidate who will not avow and defend the
principles of the party.
Bad Advice.
We notice that a Western exchange speaking
of the result ol the recent elections in South
Carolina advises the white people of the State
to abandon it and leave the negroes there to
constitute a separate State—a living monu
ment ol Radical folly. This should never be
done. The people of South Carolina have
indeed been cursed with all the odious and
humiliating measures that avaricious and des
potic Radicalism could suggest, and numbers of
ignorant and brutal negroes could execute; but
there is life in the old land yet, and we are
pleased to know ihat the original white inhab
itants of the Stale stand up against their ene
mies with a stern and unbroken front—true
positions of honor ,and trust have been dis
graced, position has been used to disguise
robbery, and law has become a cloak for theft,
butthe disgrace will go out with the culprits
and in the bettor day that’s coming, when honest
men get their rights and scoundrels their deserts,
these positions will again be elevated by the
manliness and honor of those who will one
day fill them. In tiouth Carolina the negroes
are largely in the majority and in deadly antag-
oniam.to tho whites, but the statistics show that
the'white race increases In a much greater ratio,
and even in a natural course of things time
will overcome this numerical superiority. Let
the white people remain—oppose a bold lront
to the negroes—encourage immigration, make
money il;they can, keep it from their thieving
oppressors—and by all means never give up the
Bhip. Tbis we know iB their determination, aud
all will yet be welL
Free Trade.
The question of free trade is receiving
increased attention in tho United States, and
will in all probability soon detract interest from
the negro question and reconstruction policy of
the Government Aa New England is the head-
centre of Republicanism, as well as of the high
tariff parly, it is likely that the two issues will
be espoused by a large faction ol the Radical
party resident there. Liberal views on all
questions whether of our commercial or politi
cal situation are espoused by the Democrats
and Conservatives, and the following editorial
In the Pittsburg Commercial shows that the
extreme wing of the Radical party are fearful
lest this issue should be more earnestly put
forward to the disadvantage of their proposed
party perpetuation.
The leading editorial of the Chicago Tribune
has interest as the first undisguised exhibit ol
the purposes of the Free Traders within the
Republican ranks. The Tribune's meaning is
that its faction want Free Trade anyhow;
through the Republican party, if possible, the
Democratic if convenient, or a new organiza
tion it noedB be. The object is to break up the
Republican party and to promote the interests
of a visionary scheme. We have deprecated
any division ol tho party upon this subject ior
the present as entirely out oi place, and now
consider that the chief effect of this movement
will be to unsettle industries, lower wages and
depreciate the public credit. Still, if the tariff is
made the issue upon which parties are to engage
their lorces, we are ready for the conflict. The
question is, after all, but one of dollars and cents
in their power to benefit community, and the
people will support that policy that will give
the greatest good to the greatest number. No
theories however excellent, no sophistry how
ever flattering, will decide the popular suffrages
upon the question. Facts alone will satisfy the
public, and the experience of the United States
and other nations must aflord the final argu
ment Feeling secure in the strength of a posi
tion fortified and defended by impregnable facts
ol history, current as well as past, we are ready
for the attack, if it is to come, and are assured
that the result mast be to strengthen the devo
tion cl the American people to the interest that
protection alone has built up and can buiid up
for them. Whenever the friends of American
industry shall unite to inform the voters ol the
country upon the results wrought by free trade
In some countries and poleclion in others, pro
tection need not fear the verdict of the ballot
box.
The Bsdleal Party and the Nejrro.
The feelings ol enmity which were engen
dered between the anti-slavery and pro-slavery
party culminated in war and as a sequence <Jf
the success of the former party in the struggle
the negro was made free. When that freedom
was an accomplished fact it was all for which
the party bad claimed to contend and had it
not been necessary lor the continuance in power
of the anti-slavery party which had then
assumed the name of Republican, the status oi
the negro would in all probability have resied
there. The extravagances and oppression
which became elements in the party were soon
intolerable to many of those who had joined it
in efforts to restore the Union, and it was neces
sary to call to its aid the negro element, as the
Constitution did not recognize the right of that
class to exercise the elective lrancise it became
equally necessary to make such changes in the
instrument as would bring about this end. The
change was made not to benefit the negro, but
this party, which claimed to be his friend, ana
the subsequent history of National Legislation
and the.*Legislation in most of the States since
the war has tended to show that negro eleva
tion was secondary to Radical success. In
most of the pet schemes which hare come be
fore Southern Legislatures this fact has stood
outjglarlngly.
A New Iaaue for 1S72.
Under the above heading, we find the follow
ing editorial remarks in the New York Evening
Express, which goes to show the extent to which
the tariff question is exercising the public
mind:
“When the Tribune avows itself a3 read/ to
make protection to monopoly an issue in the
canvass ot 1872. we gay Amen with all our
hearts. It will then have to meet not only the
whole Democratic party ol the country, but all
the really Conservative men in its own ranks
Already leading statesmen and leading presses,
which lor ten years have deemed it necessary to
support high tariffs rather than break with the
High Protective wing ol their party, re I use to
go lurther. The elections ol 1870 have become
the dividing line, beyond which they will not
pass, even to bolster up the present Federal
AdministraliCL Even in the canvass oi 1570,
for members of Congress, they have taken sides
for a Revenue Tariff as against High Protec
tion. A great body ol Republicans in this city
felt called upon ter. days since to iseue a circu
lar against the election of Horace Greeley for
Congress, as a leader among the High Protec
tionists, in a district where there was a possible
chance of electing a Republican, and in per
haps the strongest m&nuficturing district ot the
city. The whole city delegation, and a majority
of the State delegation in Congress, are now for
a Revenue Tariff as against the Protective
policy of New England, and the whole organ
ized body of monopolists everywhere.
The grand election in Missouri turned iD pari
upon the same issue, and upoD liberal princi
ples generally, and the result is over 40,000
majority, and a Democratic Legislature in a
State hitherto strongly Republican. The Demo
crats rally around the banner of a Revenue
Tariff, with all possible leanings to Free Trade,
as best for the people and the salvation of the
inland and foreign commerce of the country;
well knowing that even a Revenue Tariff, with
our present debt and expend ; tures, necessarily
affords very large protection to all domestic
manufacturers.
As we remarked in yesterday’s issue. New
England Republicans will espouse the cause ot
high tariff aDd protection while Democrats and
Conservative Republicans ot the South and
West will lean to free trade. This question
will probably direct public attention lrom the
everlasting nigger, aDd perhaps be the means ol
lifting the heel ol despotism lrom Southern
necks.
The Treaty of Paris.
Now that European complications and the
recent action ot Russia iu proposing to with
draw from the treaty signed at Paris in the year
1856, are the absorbing topics ol conversation,
it will perhaps be interesting to our readers to
have laid belore them some provisions of said
treaty.
By this treaty, the Sultan of Turkey agreed
to modify the laws in regard to his Christian
subjects. The Black sea which devides Russia
and which is the most important body of water
for commercial purposes touching either of the
above nations, w as declared closed to all war
vessels of all nations, whether owning territory
on its shores or not. The commercial laws regu
lating commerce on the Black sea, shall conduce
to the encouragement ol commercial relations
between the countries of Europe. It also an
nexes a small portion ot Russian territory to
Moldovia. Wallacia and Moldovia are guarau
teed certain immunities and privileges which
they had enjoyed previous to the making of thi
treaty, excluding the right of interference and
dictation by the powers giving ibis guaranty.—
These principalities ot Wallachia and Moldovia
are to be regarded and respected by the sublime
Porte in liberty of worship, legislation, &c , &c.
Bervia, a small principality, was-to continue
dependent on Turkey, Russia aud Turkey
were to continue in possession ol their original
Asiatic possession.
Russia it seems has been restive for some
time under these restrictions, and has at last
declared ber intention to be no longer bound
thereby. This action has, as a matter ot course,
aroused the indignation ol England, France,
Sardinia and Turkey the other contracting
powers, and as they are still vitally interested in
the issues set at rest by the aforesaid treaty
they are preparing lor decisive action in the
event that Russia should be too imperious and
aggressive in her demands.
The Nexi Consrces.
Thirty-two ot the thirty-seven States have
now held elections for members of the loriy
second Congress, and tho results are so Ur
known than an approximately accurate calcula
tion can be made of the complexion of the
House. Out of 244 members ol a lull house,
223 have been chosen. The States yet to elect
are California, Conneclicut, Georgia, Mississippi
and Texas, and in these we estimate tbe dele
gations. The following table shows the result
as nearly as we can now compute it:
Terrible Maaeacre ot the Fejees,
Tbe Auckland, New Zealand, Herald of Octo
ber 6th, says:
By the United States steamship Resaca, we
have the Fiji* News to tbe 27th August Our
last advices reported the massacre, on the Ba
coast, ot 370 natives by the heathen mountain
eers occupying the central hills ol Viti Levu.
These savages appear to have, been active on
the opposite side of their bills, in which tbe
Rewa river takes its rise. The tribe ot Koro-
balavu, have decided have determined to Secede
from the heathens of Seio-i-ra and join the
Christians ot Matailoban, was suddenly attacked
by tbe Selo-i-ra people, and 260 killed. It ia
hoped that these massacres will unite the Chris
tian trines, who are immensely superior to the
mountaineers in numbers and resources, but
divide 1 by intestine teuds. In that case the
mountaineers could speedily be subdued. On
the small inland ot Btqua th- natives have also
been fighting, and two killed. At Kadavu, a
white man named Edward Heritage, went to
the house ot another, named George Locking-
ton, and being intoxicated, a quarrel ensued.
Lockington sent for some Fijiimen to help him.
Heritage kept them at bay with a revolver, and
fired three shots without mischief. He then
went to his boat and armed his half-caste boys
to make an attack on Lockington and tbe
natives. Lockington then shot Heritage with
duck shot in the forehead, but the wound,
though serious, is said not to be fatal. The cor
poration of Fijii settlers had proved a failure,
and was adjourned sine die by the delegates at
their first meeting. The inhabitants of Levuka
have therefore decided to form a local corpora
tion, and have requested Cakobau to issue a
commission to certain ol their number to
administer law in his name.

GalUocine Work.
It seems to be understood that President
Grant intends making his party unanimous by
lessening its numbers. When the Gratz Brown
revolt first showed front in Missouri, the Presi
dent endeavored to harmonize the difficulty by
decapitating a few office holders who were ac
cused of loving McUlurg neither wisely nor too
well; when the Democracy carried West Vir
ginia another bunch of heads dropped in the
basket as a sacrifice to the avenging gods ; and
now that New York and Maryland have
swamped the Radical election law and the Radi
cal ticket beneath an avalanche of majorities, it
is reported that Collector Murphy and Post
master General Creswell are to sprinkle the
platform of the guillotine with the blood of the
saints. Both Murphy and Creswell are
“loyal” as “loyal” can be; nothing has yet
been lound too hot or too heavy lor their politi
cal stomachs, and it is known that they
prayed lustily and worked hard for the success
of the administration candidates, but this will
not save them. Maryland and New York
went Democratic; Creswell lives in the former
State, Murphy in the latter—therefore both must
die. As Voltaire said of the execution of Ad
miral ByDg, they are “ shot to encourage the
others.” We doubt whether retail or wholesale
decapitation can prevent the spread of the
disease under which the administration party is
now laboring. In fact, it appears rather to
aggravate the disorder, if we may judge by the
answer which Missouri has just made to the
White House, yet we hope the President will
fight the campaign out on this line it it takes
until 1872. Let the Cabinet be reconstructed on
he principle that na man can sit therein who
<loes not represent a Radical State; let every
government employee be required to swear
eternal fidelity to the administration now and
hereafter, or take the medicine which Richard
III. prescribed lor Buckingham; let the party
be unanimous for the President, and perhaps
the President will—“Let us have peace.”—Mis
souri Republican.
A Rktublican Opinion of Grant.—It has
been no uncommon thing for party organs in
the United States to accuse Presidents ol their
own party of party offenses untruth to the party
principles, or unfaithfulness to their actual or
implied pledges in respect to individuals or
policy. It is the common fate of acceding Vice
presidents to suffer under accusations ot party
perfidy in general, accompanied, for the sake of
emphasis, with suggestion?, of official malfeas
ance. Bat the official career of Gen. Grant
presents a case that is peculiar. He stands
charged not so much with unfaithfulness to his
party as official misconduct and personal mean
ness ; and these charges are so well established,
so universally believed and eo freely enlarged
B pon, that the organs, of his own party even,
which speak in his favor or attempt his vindica
tion, are the exception. No American Presi
dent^ t>lfin e lor it the testimony ol the Republi
can press, was ever more thoroughly dispised or
deserved it better than the one who now dis
honors the highest place in the gift of the peo
ple by hi* tenancy.—Qhiugo Republican.
•Two liberal republicans.
According to these figures, the Republican
majority in the next house will be thirty-seven.
In the present house they have ninety majority ;
and the gam, therefore, for the Democrats is
fifty-three members. It there were to be fair
elections in Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, tbe
majority would be ttill further reduced, but this
is not to be expected, and our estimate^will
probably not be far from the Irutb.
We did have some hope that wc would secure
a working majority in the house, but the time
was not yet ripe for this, and we have sufficient
reason to felicitate ourselves upon what has been
accomplished. The two thirds majority which
the Republicans have so long had iu the house,
and exercised so mischievously in the passage
ot outrageous constitutional amendments and
in the suspension of the rules to Expedite their
party measures, is lost never to be regained
Bad leal Love of (Me Negro,
A fair sample of radical hate and persecution,
exercised under cover of the new election act
came to light yesterday. George Washington
Johnston, an old colored preacher and physi
cian, was brought out from Ludlow street jail,
where be had been confined ever since the day
before election, on a charge of attempting to
vote illegally by registering his name in a dis
trict where he did not reside. He was taken be
fore Commissioner John A. Shields, who pro
ceeded to examine into the case. It was soon
ascertained that the charge against the prisoner
was wholly false, and that he resided with his
family in the same district where he had regis
tered to vote. The prisoner was at once dis
charged. The fact was ascertained, further
more, ihat Johnston was arrested and put in jail
because he had declared his intention to vote
lor Hoffman instead of Woodford and that one
of Marshal Sharpe’s negro deputies had sold him
out to tho radical regulators, cheating him out
of his first honest democratic vote, besides in
flicting upon him nearly a week’s imprisonment.
Johnston is a practicing physician, besides be
ing a local preacher. Formerly a slave undt/i-
a distinguished physician of Louisville, Kyi,
who treated him with great consideration, ant)
from whem he got his ideas about medicine.
He first lived in this city at 54 Thompson street,
and last year moved to 303 Broome street, lrom
which place he registered to vote. He evinced
but little feeling on account ol the persecution
fie had suffered, but considered the matter phi
losophically. Alter he had treed himself from
the mesh.es ot radical law and got outside of tbe
federal inquisition he was arrested by several
black radicals, who sneeringlv asked him if he
had been converted to republicanism during the
time he had been allowed for quiet reflection in
prison ? He answered them by saying he should
never vote for the republicans, and added that
li's persecutors “ would all be punished by de
Lord, who says, • Vengeance is mine.’ ”
TnK City.—Yesterday was a beautiful and
quiet day, but rather a dull one in business cir
cles. Majority of merchants complained of
nothing doing. The difference between buyers
and sellers ot cotton in their notions prevented
transactions in the staple—in fact they were so
widely separated it was thought a ireeze would
occur between them last night. A blind organ
grinder and a woman with a tamborine attracted
attention on the streets. We fear there is little
money in it for them. Some of the stores, by
way of economy, are advertising extensively od
bulletin boards—thus cheating the printer.
This we are emphatically “agin.” At one ware
house a young of “whale” memory was off try
ing to marry under difficulties. Hope he suc
ceeded. At another, the proprietor was dressed
up within an “inch of his life,” including a hat
that a fly would slip up on. Don’t know how
he got them, unless he won them on “Clara” at
the Fair. This is about all we saw calculated
to impress.—Columbus Enquirer.
Five Men Drowned!—On Friday morning
last about seven o’clock, startling news came
up from the river bank, and rapidly spread
through the city, that five men had just been
drowned in the Flint near the.foot.;of Broad
street.
Eieven hands—two white and nine colored,
employed by George Smith, contractor for the
rebuilding of Tilts Bridge, were engaged iu fill
Oar large gain has been made, too, in the lace :ng a cr jb ; a th e center ot the river with rock.
of a lresh negro vote ot many thousands, and
in spite ot an atrociously unfair system ot ap
portionment. In Ohio, for instance, where the
vote is very evenly divided, the districts are so
ingeniously split up that the Radicals secure
lourteen of nineteen Congressmen. So in New
Yotk, with nearly forty thousand Democratic
majority, we have only one more member than
our opponents, and in other States the dispro
portion is equally glaring. It is a fact that, if
public sentiment were justly represented, the
Forty second Congress would show a decided
Democratic majority.—Bullow Courier.
Resistance ia Law.
Last Saturday night there was a negro party
in our town, and the fun grew last and turn ms.
About ten o’clock a negro employed by the rail
road, named Charles Griffin, became very aegrv
because he was not permitted to get into the
house without paying an entrance fee ot twenty
five cent®, and drawing a pistol threatened the
file ot the door keeper, and raised quite a dis
turbance.
The owner of tbe house called upon Mr. E1.
Hammonds, jr., the Marshal, to quell the dis
turbance, and at the request of several negroes
present, the Marshal went to the place, found
the negroes in a state of great excitement, and
Charles Griffin very violent, brandishing a der
ringer pistol and threatening to shoot. The
Marshal went up to him; told him to surrender
his weapon, that he was an officer of the law,
and came to arrest him ior a disturbance of tbe
peace. Grlffia refused to be taken, and when
the Marshal insisted on arresting him, he delib
erately put his pistol against the officer’s breast
when it snapped. Not wishing to kill Hie des
perate negro, the Marshal struck him over the
head with his revolver, when the negro broke
trom his hold, and running a few steps, turned
and fired at the officer and several others, w ho
were pursuing him; the fire was returned and
one ot the shots took effect in the back ot the
neck, and he died next day. Charles Griffin,
the negro killed was in open violation of the
law, and is said by those who knew him to be
a desperate character, and was killed in resist
ance to an arrest by am- officer law, whose
life he had twice attempted. His fate ought to
serve as a warning to those who think that laws
are made only to be violated, and is a sad com
mentary upon the almost universal habit ot cit
izens carrying concealed weapons. If Griffin
had lelt his pistol at home, as a law-abiding
citizen should, he would be alive to-d8y. Ham
mond appeared before the Magistrate’s court,
and alter examination wss di-c Larged.—Good
man Star. i
They had loaded their Flat, and almost reached
the crib when it began to dip. Alarmed—prob
ably panic-stricken—the eleven jumped over
board in deep, swift, rough water. The two
white men and tour of the negroes succeeded
in making the shore. The other five and the
8 lat went down. Two of the bodies were re
covered, but the other three could not be found.

that city to Chartres, had reached Dreux, twen
ty-five miles southwest of Verseilles, when they
encountered 17th division. The German army
being outnumbered, tbe detachment fell back
upon the main body. This engagement has
nothing to do with the army of the Loire which

tered the gardes mobile near Dreux was march
ing from St. Germain to join Vander Tann. It

A Card from J. Nor cross. Esq.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 16, 1870.
To the Public—I see no good reason, as yet,
lor withdrawing from the canvass for a seat in
the next General Assembly, but several addi
tional ones for continuing so.
I did not accept the invitation to become a
candidate because I wanted offlee, but because
I was willing to be placed in a more favorable
position to contend against which appears to be
the order of the day, fraud, trickery and plun
der. Second, we have now a new class ol
voters in the colored people, who wish to do
right, but if left entirely to the control and
direction of interlopers,* and small tricksters,
the time is close at haud when all white men
except such tricksters will cease to co operate
or vote with them, and they, the colored voters,
will be left to a party by themselves, thereby
inaugurating an antagonism of interests and
races which every good man, whether white or
colon d, must deplore. Here at the Capitol ot
the State let us set a better example.
Third, I desire to employ what little influence
I Lave in the best way, in lavor of the accept
ance and the upholding in good faith certain
and important “ accomplished facts.” By these,
I mean the loth, 14th and 15th amendments to
the Constitution ot the United States—the Re
construction Acts—the new Constitution of
Georgia, and the Educational Bill.
I am an old citizen of Atlanta and am quite
too old to care much for opposition, especially
when in the right; but feel bound while I live,
and on all suitable ^occasions, to use the talent
God has given me to oppose the wrong and
uphold the right. With a pledge to do my best
for the maintenance ot these principles, I re
main a candidate and your humble servant,
J. Nobcross.
Splendid Investment.—Three first-class
business lots will be sold by Col. Adair, at It)
o’clock, lorenoon, Wednesday, 23d iust., on
Mitchell street, between Seago’s store and the
store of S J. Hightower & Co. The reader by
passing along Mitchell street from Dodd s to
Seago’s corner will observe that the improve
ments on that street thia season have been
rapid and of the most substantial character.
The new store just erected by T. J. Hightower
& Co. is a model of architectural beauty, and,in
all points is not excelled by any three-story-
building in the city. Header and McKmght
are also now finishing their new and elegan.
stores adjoining Hightower’s. John Ryan has
recently bought the Durham wood storehouse
and lot, on tne corner of Mitchell and Broad
streets, opposite Hightower & Co., and adioin-
iug this lot, fronting on Mitchell street. Sheon
and Durham have just completed two handsome
brick stores between Seago’s corner and the Ma
con Railroad Depot. Several beautiful residences
have just been erected. Davis’ and Morris
large stores, extending from Broad to Forsyth
streets, have also been rebuilt. Mabaffey is now
excavating lor a handsome building on Broad
street, opposite Hightower & Co. It is with
pleasure we note these evidences ol growth and
real prosperity in this portion ot the city, aud
now what shall we say of the buasinesa ot
Mitchell street. Messrs. P. & G. T. Doocu A
Co., located on this street, are among the most
euterprising and successful merchants, not only
in Atlantai but of Georgia. They are rapidly
accumulating a tortune. W. H. CrotliertoD has
been compelled by the rapid increase ot bis
business to add one hundred per cent to the
capacity of his large dry goods store on the
corner ol Mitchell and Whitehall streets.
Messrs, Tidwell* Holliday are among the
most reliable and energetic ot our young mer
chants. Their store is on tbe corner of Mitchell
and Whitehall streets. Messrs. Phillips. John
son & Co, Ogletree & Son, L. Smith & Co., are
all good, reliable, thrifty young merchants, they
are also on Mitchell street. Messrs. T. J. High-
tower * Co., corner Broad and Mitchell streets,
are now occupying their new and elegant build
ing. This is one ot the most solvent and trusts
worthy firms in this city, and are doing a splen
did business. They have made a lar^e amount
of m jney on Mitchell street.
New Business, New Firms.—Messrs. Antho
ny, Bridges & Co., have leased Seago’s store,
corner Mitchell aud Forsyth streets, and will
soon open a large stock of groceries and pro
visions—they are good men, and will put a large
cash capital into tbs business. Messrs. D. W.
Bromley * Co., are now opening an entire new
stock in a new store on Whitehall street between
Broad and Forsyth. John Ryan, the Whitehall
Dry Goods Prince, has recently bought several
business lots on the corner of Broad aud Mich
el! streets.
Cotton Warehouse.—Messrs. C. H. Strong,
and J. D Turner & Co., at the warehouse ot tbe
Georgia Loan and Trust Company, on Broad
street, are receiving and shipping more cotton
than was ever received at any other warehouse
in this city. Most of the cotton they receive is
bought on Mitchell street. We are informed
that business houses located ou Mitchell between
Whitehall streets and Forsyth will rent equal
to any houses iu the city. It is said that Beago’s
two-story building rents ior $2,100, which is,
perhaps equal to the rent ol property on any
other street in the city.
It is claimed by real estate owners on Mitchell
street that it is the best commercial street in
the city, and that property on this street is
intrinsically worth as much money as on
Whitehall. Whether this be true or not, we
are convinced that no merchants in this city are
more prosperous and thrilty than the Mitchell
street merchants. There must be a cause lor
this prosperity.

The Hibernian Hall was literally “jam ful ”
last night on the occasion of the performance of
“ Flute, or the Magic Lyre,” by the lively and
charming “ Violets of the Stage.” and the mirth-
provoking comedian, Mr. C. B. Bishop. The

the peculiarly fascinating vivacity ot the grace

To-night the lovers of burlesque have what
will prove one of the richest treats in this line
which may be offered this season—" Cinderella”

Stone & Murray have been for several
years past the first to introduce to the public,
artists who have proved unrivaled in their spe
cialties, and they deem no expense too great in
securing talent that will maintain the suprema
cy of their circus. Therefore they take great
pride in offering to their patrons this season, an
opportunity to witness the feats of the grandest
array of Equestrians, Gymnasts, Acrobats, and
other performers ever assembled in one com
pany.
In order to convey to the public a correct idea
ol the present superiority and respectability of
the circus of Stone & Murray, the following
criticism from a reliable jonrnal is offered :
The Newark Advertiser says Stone & Murray
have expunged the antique abuses and customs
which other exhibitions cling to with so much
tenacity, and inaugurated a new era in circus
amusements. With a troupe of artists the most
distinguished in the world, this circus has ac
quired a fame for excellence and respectability
that no other traveling exhibition eDjoys.

Chapman Sisters.—This admirable combi
nation of theatrical talent, supported by the
splendid comedian C. B. Bishop, will make
their appearance here in DeGive’s Opera House
on Monday night. The following from the
Baliimore Sun shows what was "thought of
them in Baltimore:
“ On Friday night Miss Ella Chapman, little,
pretty, sprightly, sparkling, versatile Ella, re
ceives her first congratulatory and compli
mentary benefit, at the Holliday Street Theatre,
her first in any theatre, the first in her profes
sional career. Let it be a bumper, full to over-
fl >wing, like the similar compliment tendered
to her sister (Blanche) last week. She deserves
it at the hands of the public to whose entertain
ment she has so greatly contributed. It is a
tribute due to the varied and remarkable talent
she exhibits, and winch proclaims her one ot
the rising stars in the theatrical firmament. In
the brilliant career v.hieh fortune is opening for
these charming sisters, all future triumphs, all
the success which may crown their later and
more matured efforts, will date back to the
generous appreciation, the warm hearted sym
pathy and encouragement manifested by the
Baltimore public at the outset of their career—
the greeting they have received upon the classic
boards which their lather and grandfather trod
belore them, and where hereditary talent de
serves to be attended by more than hereditary
success.”

with a portion of his army while he is moving
the bulk of his lorces, not less than 150,000
men, northward to form a junction with Keratry
coining lrom the west and with Baurbaki
coming northeast. They wiil then move rapidly
upon Paris with the combined forces, which
will be under the command of Gambetta and
Duurelies. Baubnki, leaving behind him a large
reserve, is moving forward with 65,000 periect-
!y trained and armed troops. Keratry has 50,000.
When these armies effect a junction the number
of troops will not be less than 205,000, besides
the reserves and 100,060 of the army of tbe Loire
entrenched at Orleans.
A writer in tbe Pall Mall Gazette urges tl.o
sending of John Bright to Washington aa
an envoy from Great Britain to insure i acific
relations with America.
