The Philadelphia Brand jury )ms de dared te Clie court that it considers Barnum's clrciiB a nuisance, because of the disorder it causes in tlie streets about the bIiew and Uie bad characters who congregate about it. It wanted te knew whether it could net indict Varnum, as well as tlie unlicensed grog sellers who lined the streets with their booths and whom the police had pounced upon. Thejury'snuestlen caused a smlle In the court house. It seemed amusing in that atmosphere that a Jury should want te Ret down te the original cause of crime. rerhnps the nuJIence laughed because It had bten intormed by the Philadelphia newspapers what a beautiful and moral show Barnum's was. There was the Bacred white elephant en exhibition, which had been brought from Its distant home for the entertainment of the Sunday school children and religious persuasions te whom Mr. llarnum caters. It did seem, no doubt, very funny te the court heuse audience that a show se Illicitly commended, lauded and championed by the news papere of their town, which never say anything they de net believe, and never believe what is net true, nor are ever betrayed into shading the truth by considerations of lucre, should lie denounced as a nuisance by the grand Jury. And yet the probability is that the Jury was nearer right than the news papers. We are much addicted te the circus, but we charge the devotion te a weakness of the flesh. We must ad mit that it Is net an elevating Institu tlen ; aud that it is capable or vast itn prevetnent in its conduct. The truth is net worshiped about, a circus, whose proprietors and performers live te de celve. Mr. Itanium lias attained his reputation and high respectnblllty.as the arch deceiver. Mr. Birnutn's career teaches that it is very right te lie, and Mr. Barnum has taught this lessen ther eughly te the newspapers, which lie with unanimity and unction whenever and wherever he comes around. Mr. Bar num rejoice in the title of the Prince of Humbugs. It is his valuable stock In trade. Ills name is about all that he gives te his show. That sacred white elephant is no moreef a curiosity than aft old white cow ; but he vows that It is a big thing at home, anil, liberally paying people of easy virtue te join in his ac claim, the people are freely drawn te spend their money for their experience. They take down slightly colored water as lemonade and accept kernelless and an dent shells, in email measures at high price, as genuine peanuts. They are hustled about unresistingly and seduced with ease into all manner of delusive side shows. There is certainly little refinement about circus attendants aud none tee much about circus perform ances ; still the circus is. a seductive thing, and we should boserroy te see grand juries indict them as nuisances. A little ciicus during the year is net bad te take. The human constitution could net stand the moral or physical strain every day or every week ; but as we get it only a few times in the year in the country we can escape without much Injury. In cities, however, where the tent stands for weeks the institution no doubt needs an ever hauling. Kveu tlie presence of a sacred white elephant withiu the tent will net atene for the deviltry in the surround ings. .Mr. Jluliene. General Mahene has caused his Vir ginia party te be again rechristened and styles it Republican. lie started It as tbe Reudjuster party, with a solid filling of negrees and a white contingent of Democratic eilicers. After Hailing along successfully for a whlle under this title he came into troubled waters aixl changed the uaine of his craft te Ceal itlen ; after a brier aud disastrous ex perience with which lie concluded that the time had come te assume 'he Bepub Hcau name. He explains te an inter viewer that ' the very time te make the change has anived ;" nml gees en te declure that It would have been death te Ins party te liave called it Republican when he started it : U-ciune " a Democrat would have cut his hand off rather than vote the Rep iblican ticket." Virginia white tnen being then nearly all Democrats, it was necessary te lead them by strategy and degrees Inte tlie Republican camp. The march was ruude possible andagrfe able by the donation made te ttie party or the Federal ellices. The Republican administration found It expedient te en courage Mahene's olTert te build up a party, aud accorded him its support notwithstanding ttiere was a Re publican party in Virginia which sailed under the true name ; its leaders contending that te be the proper way te build up their party in the state. New there are two Republican organla erganla organla tlens in name, as well as In fact, in Virginia. The distinction between them nppenrs te be that one Is for Arthur and the ether for Blaine for the presi dential nomination. Mahene takes a Helld delegation with him te Chicago, Instructed te vote as a unit, which he will work for Arthur, and all the time against Blaine. Anether delegation will appear at, the convention doers, whose hopes will all hang upon Arthur's de feat. Their chances of admission depend upon the strength et Blaine in the con vention. The struggle in the first In In Btauce Is clearly te be between Arthur and Blaine, with the prospect that neither will be nominated. The outlook for the nomination of a candidate who will receive the hearty support of all the factions Is net very geed. The Hepubll. can politicians being held together by expectation of the spoils of elllce, these who are benten in the convention will sulk Jn their touts during the campaign, preferring a Democratic president te ene set up by another Republican faction. It was se In the Just campaign until Greut and Cenkllng were overcemo by ueceitim premises. The lessen then learned will net ba forgotten this time-. Jaulzarle-j like Mahene will net rlde under a banner that premises thorn no booty. The Mahene party In Virginia may have te change its name once mere. i i m Tlie Cen My Mupcrlntfiiilcncj. Tlie Marietta Itcgistcr charges that the high school of that borough was closed this week " for the purpose of allowing the principal a chance te electioneer for a superlntendcncy." The same puper nhe states that Mr. Syfert, of Carnar von, who was a candidate for delegate te the state convention, was premised a geed vote in Marietta, if in leturn he would vote for deist for the aupcrln tendency. These are serious accusa tions, ami require te be met by Prof, deist in a different manner from that in which they are treated by the Lancaster Inquiitr in its Issue of this morning. It does net deny that Prof. Ueist has ltft his school te engage In electioneering, nor that the Syfert preposition was made. It contents Itself with alleging that the latter charge is ene made by the opponents of Prof. Geiat's election te the superintendence- . and as te his electioneering, It says that he is doing no mere than Mr. Bret-' -s doing. Of course, it is the opponents of Prof, tieist's electleu, who urge against him his preposition te trade delegates te the Republican convention in return for votes for the superintendence1 of the public schools ; but it Is right te urge this against him, because it is a very iin proper way te secure support as a school superintendent. Politics .should have nothing te de with such an election ; aud it must be apparent te even one that he who would trade delegates te a political convention for votes for himself as school superintendent is unlit for that placs ; and it is clear, tee, that a teacher should net close a public school te elec tioneer for liiuiself, hewever much he may be at lilerty te se electioneer in his spare hours.

OVER THE STATE. AN A.lllltV METIlOUtHT mlMltl t'JH. uunuiltiliird if Ull Miimiiirjr l)lniHiml iruiu n llariliiburs Church- V Hull Hoein t'rli Msht. Rev. Jehn A. Demeyor, el tlie Central Pennsylvania M. K. oeufcrence, has just addressed a letter te the tnutnbera of his 0' of i-vuce, pre'estiug ngulnst the tnautier of his toRieval from Fifth street church. H.intsbiirg. Bishop Harris, who presided scut blw te Snydertown circuit. He blames the ex-presldlng elder (Hev. Will lam A. Hoties) for makiug tlie ohange, aud says that if he had been suddenly knocked dewu he would net have been mero osteulshed than when told that his rumeval had bwn asked for the following reasons : First, unsociability , wound, depreciating thoehuroh ; third, If returned the ohureh would be broken up. Uemeyer says that no such Intimation ever wan given him by any member of his ohureh nor by Presiding Elder Houek previous te the oeufurruco session, and even then net utitil next te the last day. A few months before conference his wtfe, while out visiting, sprained her ankle, which con fined her te the house until forced te vacate for the new minister's family. After conference adjourned l)ome)Pr removed her te a beardiug heuse in liar risburg, wl.ere she still remain, unable te travel. Demoyer claims that Presiding Elder lleuck aud the bishop knew this, aud that his removal was an outrage, aud says that tuauy el the mftubers hare since informed him that no one was authorized te ask for n removal. Ir'uch an outrage would net bj perpetrated in any ether church without a serious ruptuie, he says, and then he fellows with ten pretests, the substance of which is that at his titue of hfe it will be impossible te regain the position hut. whether sueh eemplaiut be well founded or uet. This fact may serve as another indication that Methodist ministers are n linger sattstbd te leave their destiny in thu hands of bishops. The coming gcucral conference may make some prevision for such cases, thus pre venting a removal at the close of the first year without consultation. A l'rli rUlit la 1UII Roem.

Of these we return 123 as true bills, and 23 as net true bills. On Wednesday afternoon we visited the almshouse, hospital and iosane asylum. At the almshouse we ware met by Mr. Jehu Breck, stewart. We wero glad te repert that we found this institution iu the best of condition, and all the inmates up pear te be well cared for The almshouse record shows that nt the present time there are in the institution 101 male and CO fe- Imale adults ; sevan male and teu fomale children, ranging iu age from three months te two years. The sleeping apart ments, ns well as ethors, appear te be in a clean condition. Mauy of the rooms have 0, 12, 1 1 aud 1G beds. Iu the contra! part of tlie garret wa feuud as high as 33 cots. A tailor aud a uhoemakor, both inmates, are kept employed. We found the store room stocked with clothing aud shoes of the poorest quality. We would also call the attontieu of the commissioners te the kitohen fleer ; the cement oevarlng nnd the bricks being very much worn. The heating apparatus we found In geed con dition. Te run this about 11 tens of oe.il are oeusumod daily. At the barn we found olevon head el fat steers, thirteen cows, threo helfers, two calves.teur horses four mules and elght hogs. The building is well stocked with hay, straw, ete, The uext places visited were the hes pltal aud iusaue asylum. Thesa institu tions we found iu charge of Dr. MoCreary, who kindly escorted us through the build lugs. All the inmates apnear te b well eared for, and the building is kept in ex. collent oendition. In the hospital thore are new '17 male aud 1)1 fomales, and 8 children, making a total of 80. Iu the asylum thoie are 00 males and 43 fomales, making a total of 03. A classified roeord of the inmates of these institutions is kept, showing their nationality, habits, etc., as was as a history of oaeh inmate. We tlud that about fifty per cent, are nonresidents. We find the reef of the hesnluil te be In a leaky oendition, nnd would reoemmeud that the same be repaired at once, and also that shutters be plaoed ou the smallpox hospital. On Friday, April 23, 1881, we visited the children's home and prison. At the home we wero shown though the building by Mm. Hamaker, and we nre pleasud te repert that we found it iu uu oxcellout oendition. We found it neat and clean, aud Iu geed order, and the children, 01 boys and 31 girls, 13 of which nre colored, all soemlmily cheerful and happy. There is ue niokuess in this Instl. tutfen at present. We de think that the 8hoel room is entirely tee small for the tiumber of ehildreu new in uttocdanae. We next visited the county prison whero we wero kindly rucolved by I). K. Burk Burk Burk helder, who conducted us through the buildings. Iu reply te the inquiry of the honorable court, will say that we feuud 135 persens confined In that Institution ; of these 09 are convicts and cost prisoners nt labor,20 oeuvlcts and oest prlsoners Idle, 23 for trial and hearing, 10 for illegal ear riding and 1)3 for druiiken nnd disorderly oeuduot, Iu some of the cells we feuud 3, -1 aud 0 prisoners. In a cell in the north ern portion of the prison was the body of Henry Pryer, who had died en the me iiingef llie'Jilth of Apul Iu Hummers' I hall, and afterwards lcmoved te n cell In the prison.
