BRATTON & KENNEDY, Carlisle , Ben n't Address, CABPET BAC! “OOVEBSOIIS” AM> “MENAIOUN” Theeo-called “Governors”'and “Sen ators,” elected by the negroes and car pet-baggers of the “ reconstructed” Southern States, are Northern men without exception—long-legged, blue nosed Yankees, who, with carpet bags in their hands, left their homes in Yan kee land and squatted in the South a year or so ago. One is from Massachu setts, one from Vermont, one from Now Hampshire, one from Rhode Island, and so on. These are the creatures who have been sworn in’ as Governors and Senators of the “ reconstructed” South- ern States. Notone of them could have been elected to any position at his own home. They are mean, sordid, ill-bred, demagogues, mere squatters in the South. They are there for plunder and for the purpose of annoying the unhap py'people of that distressed section of our country. And this is what the Rad ical Jacobins call “reconstruction!”— This is endorsed hy Grant and Colfax. Can honest men of any party sanction the plundering operations of these car pet-baggers? Wo think not. We be lieve the people are now ready and anxious to crush the scoundrels who are attempting to enrich themselves at the expense of the people of the South. GiIAKT’S PoPUIiAUITY.—It is wor thy of remark that every election which has been held since the ■nomination of General Grant for the Presidency exhibits Democratic gains and Radical losses. The notion that General Grant’s popularity as a mili tary man would induce Democrats to abandon their principles, and support negro equality and military despotism, proves a complete mistake; on the con trary, the Democratic party is daily growing stronger by the accession of the honester and more intelligent portion of the Republicans, who find that their leaders are constantly violating the principles hypocritically professed in their party platforms. It is a little remarkable that the Chicago Convention should have called for its first set speech after the organi zation upon ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, the only undeniable traitor in that State. For the others there is at least the plea of secession, but this man seized, vi et armis, upon Fort Pulask' even before Ida State “ went out.” Yet the Convention, this “ loll” Convention, invited him to open its deliberations’, and by this superior compliment put itself on record as preferring a renegade secessionist to any of its five hundred loyalists tried In the fire. Phillips snarls at Grant, tbe Radi cal German organ at Indianapolis re fuses to support him, and Yates says the people of Illinois will repudiate the Chicago platform by fifty thousand ma jority. “Let ns have peace.” • THE NATIONAL CREDIT. Our neighbor of the Herald, we regret to notice, is sorely afflicted. The editor believes or protends to believe that the Democrats are conspiring against the national credit; in other words, that they (the Democrats) desire and intend to repudiate the National debt ns soon as they obtain power 1 When wo con sider that at least one-half of the Na tional debt is due and owing to Demo crats, the proposition by them to repu diate it seems very marvelous —so mar velous that no man but the sagacious junior of the Herald can see the philos ophy of tho proposition. The idea of a man desiring to cry down and make worthless a dcbtdueto himself, is some thing now under the sun; but yet the Herald, in its weak and impotent arti cles, would make its readers.believe.I his absurd proposition. Wo beg leave to remind our young friend that lie shows very little sagacity in his learned dis quisitions on tho subject of ourilnances. Ho either imagines his readers fools or he is trying his best to convince them that ho is attempting to talk about a subjeeffar beyond his knowledge. Let us assure our neighbor—and let this as surance quiet his nerves—that no sane man in our land over proposed or ever will propose a repudiation of the Na tional debt. The debt is due to our own people, and it is not very probable that they desire to see it repudiated. But | yet the reckless course the Jacobin-Re publicansare pursuing is well calculated to create apprehensions in the mind of tho thinking man ; the manner In which tho Radicals are now and have been squandering the people’s money, may, even against the people’s wishes and in terests, break down tho nation’s credit and its ability to discharge its obliga tions. Our National debt, instead of diminishing, is increasing daily. A Frecdmon’s Bureau, with its thousands of oflii-ors and scullions, a standing ar my of sixty thousand men, surrounded as it is by New England carpet-bag hangers-on, are eating into the vitals of the nation and running away with the people’s money. The treasonable at tempt to continue the infamous brute Stanton in office, and to put the Presi dent of the people out, cost some five hundred thousand dollars. One-half the negroes of the South are to-day liv ing at the expense of the white tax payers of tbe North, and for no other purpose under heaven than to obtain the assistance of these lazy blacks to keep tho ootidomnod Rfidiralß in power. If Republican editors arc really anx ious to see the national credit sustained, let them not grumble because it is pro posed to tax Government Bonds, and thus replenish the Treasury. They may call this “repudiation” if they please, but the people call it justice.— Equal taxation is right, and no honest man can or will advocate the right of the Government to tax the poor man and excuse the man of wealth. Nor is it true that bondholders, as a general thing, arc opposed to paying a reason able tax on their bonds, for they recog nisothe justicoof it. Heavy capitalists who count their bonds by the hundred thousand, may object, but the great mass of bondholders—those holding a few thousands of this paper—do not object, for their proportion of the tax would be but a trifle. Equality of tax ation, we repeat, Is right, and he is either a demagogue or an ass who calls this “repudiation.” Let us do away with ail useless expenditures, lop off the thousands of leeches who are suck ing the Ufe-blood of the nation, prac tice economy, tax all men alike, and thus pay off the national debt. This is -the “repudiation” Democrats advo cate. « SO A 50 S 00 10 50 15 00 25 00 Colfax’s Letter. —Mr. Colfax, ii his loiter of acceptance of the Vice Pres idential nomination, says “ If there had been no Republican party, slavery would to-day have cast its baleful shad ow over the Republic. If there had been no Republican party, a free press and free speech would be unknown from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, as ten ago.” This is about as cool a specimen of ef frontery us we have seen anywhere.— Ten years ago, free speech and a free press did exist between the Potomac and the Rio Grande. Now it does not. Mr. Colfax and his party have destroy ed it. Ten years ago, the people of the South governed themselves. Now they, are governed by “ carpot-ba r gers” from the Yankee Slates and by negroes, about as fitted to govern them as the posts and fences in the field. How They Have Retrenched.— The Radicals have had control of the government for eight years, yet all they have done towards establishing econo my in its administration was to adopt a resolution at the Chicago Convention. A resolution can elfect nothing, but proper legislation would. Yet with just as complete control of Congress as they had of the Convention, they have failed to pass a single law to reduce ex penses, abolish corruption, or lighten the burden of taxation. J.udge the Radical party by its acts, and not by its pro fessions. Tup. policy of the North Carolina Radicals, whom Congress has just com mitted the Old North State, is to be in tensly proscriptive, the argument being that tins is their only safety. The bo gus Governor’s son, a mere liny, is to be speaker of the House, and such a bar gain and sale has been made as will se cure to the pretended Executive control of the Legislature, on condition of sup porting a New Hampshire carpet-bag ger and an Ohio tramp for United States -senators. A pretty , restoration of the Union this is. The Press, of the 2Cth, says, “ twelve “additional Republican Senators and “ thirty Republican Representatives “ will be secured under the omnibus “ bill, which yesterday became a Jaw of “the land.” Securing Senators and Representatives by negro votes and bayonets is the Radical method, which is applauded by the Press. They hope io secure General Grant in the same way, but the omnibus “will break down before that point is reached.” The party of “great moral ideas” is unfortunate in Georgia if the following paragraph be true: “ The negro Brad ley’s election to • the Georgia Senate will be contested, on the ground that he was a felon. Another negro elect is in the jail or penitentiary, arid his term will not expire soon enough to enable him to take his seat.” new are i The Radical desperadoes in Congress are at. present engaged In concocting a scheme by which they hope to stifle'tho voice of a majority of the people of this country. As before stated In these col umns, a resolution has been introduced in the Senate, tho purpose of which is the exclusion from the electoral college of all of the so-called “ rebel States" which will not have adopted constitu tions in conformity .with the Reconstruc tion acts and which will not have been declared entitled to representation in Congress, before tho Presidential olectioh. This resolution is as follows : . Resolved , That tho States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis!-' ana, Arkansas and Texas, respectively, shall not be entitled to representation in tlio electoral college for the choice of Presi dent or vice President ot the United States ; and no electoral votes shall be received or counted from any-such States, unless at the time'prescrlbed by law for tho choice of electors, the-people of such Slates, pursuant to acts of Congress in Hint behalf, shall have, since the 4tli of March, 1807, adopted a constitution un der which a Stutegovernment shall have been organized, and unless such election of eleclois shall have been had under the authority of such constitution and gov ernment, and unless such State shall have also become entitled to representa tion in Congress in that behalf. On day before yesterday, the Senate had this measure under consideration, and Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, opposed 1 it, arguing that "If a count in the electoral college should he made, excluding those States, 'the party against whom the count would operate, would lie very apt to claim that unfairness had been exercised, and from Unit cause,- if any could make it possible, another rebellion might result.” Truthfully spoken, Hr. Trumbull! The people of this country will never submit to a fraud which will take the bal lot from the citizens of sovereign .States. Let the Radicals beware! They will not be pre'mitted to cheat in the coming Presi dential election, not even if their tricks bo cloaked under the authority of Con gressional legislation. The time has come when the popular voice must le heard, when the will of the people, fully, fairly ami lawfully ■ expressed, must be obeyed _____ TAXIXO UOViai.VMI.N 1 BONUS, In the House of Representatives, at Washington, on Friday last, the bill for the taxation of National Bonds passed by a vote of yeas 92, nays 00. It reads as follows: “ Be it enacted. tC-c., That from and af ter the passage of this act there shall bo levied, collected and paid a tax of ten per centum on the amount of interest hereafter duo and payable on all the bonds and other f-ecorities of the Uni ted States. To secure the collection of j said tax the amount of interest boreal ter paid on any bonds or other securi ticsof the Umted States, bearing inter est at six per centum, shall be at the rate of only o 5-10 per centum; and bearing interest at the rate of five per cent., shall be at the rate of only 4 5-10 per centum; and if bearing interest at the rate ol three per centum, shall be at the rate of only 2 7-10 per centum per annum. No higher rate of inter est than is prescribed shall be paid on any bond or security of the United States now outstanding, or authorized to be issued, all conditions of any such b »nds and all laws and parts of laws to the contrary notwithstand ing.” Now, Mr. Carl isle whatthink you? The House has a Radical major ity of over two-thirds, and yet it pass es the above bill. Are you still of the opinion that tiu.se who favor tax ing Government Bonds are “repudia tors, who desire to destroy the public credit?” More than one-half the Rad ical members voted for the above bill. Are they “ repudiators?” Give us your opinion, neighbor. SMELUXO C 0.11.111 ITF.B REPORT. Boast Butler’s smelling committee made report to the House on Friday.— It contains literally nothing but words. Not a particle of evidence could be ex torted from witnesses before the com- mittee, to prove that any Senator had been approached hy the President's friends, daring or subsequent to the im peachment farce. One witness admitted that ho had, “during the trial of the President, bet a hat with a Radical that Mr. Johnson would bcacquitted.”* Ou this Beast Ben talks learnedly, and im agines that he smellscorruption. Thus ends the last chapter in the Impeach ment humbug, adding an additional item in the, way of expense of £BO,OOO. Why Is it? We ask the careful reading, by every qualified voter of either political party, of the following questions: Wiiy is the burden of taxation so op pressive, and employment scarce? Why arc there tn-day hundreds of thousands of white men ami women in the North living in dread of starvation within the present year? Why are ihiity millions of wllite men taxed for the special benefit of a class : who pay no taxes on the great bulk ot their property ? Why should there be over two thousand miilionsof dollars exempt from taxation? If negroes are fit for freedom, why bus a great poor house system for their sup port to be kept up at tho expense of Northern industry? If the war was prosecuted for the pur pose of preserving the Union, why are ten ti ates kept out ot it? Let the answer, as your own heart and intelligence suggest, be given in November next. Alex H. Stephens thinks Grant is to be defeated in November beyond a porndventuro. Nothing is wanting up on the part of tho Democrats, ho says, biit*eomnion prudence nt Now York, to secure the election of their candidate. — Ho is confident that the three great States of Ohio, New York and Pennsyl vania, will vote against Grant by de sided majorities. The Philadelphia Press thinks the “phraseology” of the dispatches from Mississippi concerning the election in that part of M’Dowell’s satrapy, “ very obnoxious and indecorous.” The thun der which will accompany the lightning in November, will be quite as “ obnox ious” to Mr. Forney and much more “ indecorous.” The freed negroes have cost the peo ple of this country about $8,000,000 each. Rather dear darkies. But the eight millions apiece it cost to turn them loose is hot all the expense, for their support in idleness is costing the people about *200,000,000 annually. In deed, they are very dear negroes. Wendell ilfßjpioncer of the Republican party, brafitisthe whole affair at Chicago—nominations and platform—as a cowardly surrender of the ground occupied by the party, and especially ns! a cowardly betrayal of the negro. He can scarcely find words strong enough to express his disgust for the performance. , DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. TIIIICI) DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. HARMONY AND ENTHUSIASM A PLATFORM ADOPTED.

New York, July 7. At 10 o’clock the delegates were gen erally on hand, and the galleries were filled with spectators, as also were all the seats appropriated to the ladies.— Prior to calling the Convention to order the hall was tilled with rumors. Some of Pendleton’s friends say that combi nations have been made which render his defeat certain. The Committee on Resolutions has agreed unanimously on the platform, and are ready to report promptly. The Convention was called to order by its President at 10:10. Prayer was of fered by the Rev. Plummer, who re ferred with appropriate feeling to the sudden death of Peter Gaggor, a dele gate to the Convention from the Slate of apw York. On motion of Mr. Bigler, of Pennsyl vania, the reading of yesterday’s journal was dispensed with. The Committe on the platform, Mr. Cox, Chairman, now-appeared and de sired to report. A motion that the re port be read was agreed to. . . Tlio Platform. The resolutions declare that the Demo cratic party, reposing trust In the intelli gence and justice of the people, standing upon the Constitution, recognizing slave ry and secession an settled by the late war or voluntary action of the Southern States, never to bo renewed, do demand the immediate restoration of all the States.

It denounces the usurpation and t3’ran ny of the Radical party in its violation of the pledge in the conduct of the war, that it was only for the preservation of the Union ; having subjugated the State-, overthrown the freedom of speech and <i the press, established a system of espio nage, disregarded the habeas corpus made of the national capital a bastile and threatened to destroy the original juris diction of the Supreme Court, and ma ligned the Chief Justice because of his integrity in the trial of the President. The report continues nt considerable length to recite these abuses, and in con clusion declares that the privilege and trust of suffrage belong exclusively to the control of each State and that Con gress has usurped it in violation of the Constitution. It specifically denounces the recon struction acta us usurpatory, unconsti tutional and void. The soldiers’ and sailors’ nensions.aro to be faithfully paid.

In conclusion the report in vites men of all parties in the past to unite on- this platform. Mr. Murphy moved the previous question, which was ordered with few dissenting votes. * A delegate called for the reading— (criesof “question, question!”)—which was put and adopted, with but few dis senting voices, and the Convention rose to its feet, wildly cheering.

IOCLAMATiON DF AMNESTY! AH 'Confederates Pardoned Except Those Under Indictment I Wasiiinoton, July 4, ISOS. A PIIOOI.AJIATION, By the President of the United States ; Whereas, in the month of July, Anno Domini 1881, in accepting the condition of civil war, which was brought about by insurrection and rebellion in several ol the Stales which constitute the United Slates, tile two houses of Congress did solemnly declare that the war was nol waged ouThe part of the government in any oppression, nor for any purpose ol overthrowing or interfering witli the rights or established institutions of the States, but only to defend and maintain tile supremacy of the Constitution of the United Suites and to preserve the Union, with all tlie dignity, equality and rights of tlie several States unimpared, and that so soon as the objects should bo accom plished, tlie war on the part of the gov ernment should cease; Ami whereas, tlie President of the United Stales lias heretofore, in the apir- of that declaration, and with the view ’ securing for it ultimate and complete elleet, set fnrth'several proclamations of fering amnesty and pardon to persons who had been or were concerned in tlie aforesaid rebellion, which proclamations, however, were attended with prudential reset vutions and exceptions, then deemed , «w.| u/Uiah.-nmf».|u umlions were respectively issued on the eighth day of December, 18(i3; on the twenty-sixth day of March, 18fi4; on the twenty-ninth day of May, 1805, and on the seventeenth day of September, 1807 ; And whereas, the said lamentable civil war has long since altogether ceased, with an acknowledgment by all the States ol t »e Federal Constitution, and the govern ment thereunder, and there no longer ex ists any reasonable ground to apprehend a renewal ol the said civil war or any foreign interference, or any unlawful re sistance by any portion of the people of any of the Suites to the.Coustitutlon and laws'oflhe United States; And whereas, it is desirable to reduce the standing army, and to bring to a speedy termination military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, abridg ment of the freedom of speech and ol the. pn ss, and suspension of the privilege ol habeas corpus ane of the right of trial by jury, such encroachments upon our free insUtutions'iu time of peace being dan gerous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius ami spirit of our republican form of government, and ex haustive of the national resources; And whereas, it is believed tnatamnes ty and pardon will tend U> secure a com plete ami universal establishment ami prevalence of municipal law and order, in conformity with the Constitution ol the United States, and to remove all ap-, peuranoea or presumptions of n retaliatory or vindictive policy on the part ol the government, attended . by unnecessary disqualifications, pains, penalties, oontis cation, luui disfranchisements; and, on ll'o contrary, to promote and procuie complete fraternal reconciliations; among tlie whole people, with duo submission to the Constitution and, laws. Now, therefore, be it known, that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, dp by .virtue pf the Constitution, and in the name of the people of the United Stated, hereby proclaim and de clare unconditionally and Without reser vation, to all and to every person who di rectly or indirectly participated in the late insorrecllou or rebellion, excepting snob person or persona us may be under presentment or indictment in any Court of the Ualted Stales having competent jurisdiction upon a charge of treason or other felony, a full pardou aud umuesty for the offense of treason against the United States, or ot adhering to their enemies during the late civil war, with the restoration of all rights of property, except us to slaves, and except also, as to i aiiy property of tyhich any person may have been legally "Uivcslßij under the i laws of the United Stales. 103 33} 05 10 21 81 33~ 13 20 In tenhnuny whereof I have signed these presents with my hand, and have caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto alllxed.

THE REGISTRY LAW KNOCKED INTO A COCKED HAi. It la Declared UnconsUtnUonnl by tlio, Nnprcmo court. 118 i OPINION OP THE CHIEF JUSTICE. The Supremo Court, sitting in equity hero tliis afternoon, declared the new registry law unconstitutional. Chief Justice Thompson delivered the opin ion, which first rehearses the power of the Court to review andin validate such acts where they contravene the Consti tution. The Court opposes the idea thnttho board of aldermen, or any oth er board or body, shall have the right to say who shall or who shall not bo. registered, or who shall or shall not vote. -The manner of getting up the registry list of fines, and the other sec tions of the bill, are denounced ns ille gal and unjust. The Chief Justice con cludes his able opinion ns follows: ; PL have not specially noticed ths cita tion of authorities by counsel for re spondents to prove that registry laws have been‘held constitutional by the courts of other States. -This might be owing to the peculiarities of the consti tutional provisions of those Stales, but another reason exists for not noticing them. Wo do not mean at this moment to decide that no constitutional regis tration can be enacted. For myself, I think thorfl might bo, and possibly in such form as to protect the rights of all legal voters, and secure the people, to some extent, at least, against the possi bility of fraud at the ballot-box. Be this, however, ns it may, we are not ready to assent that'tho action in ques tion is of a character within the power of the Legislature to pass.. This con elusion leaves ail the election laws in 27 • 12 * force, which werointonded to bo super ceded by this act. These provisions are well understood. They have been in operation many years, jvith but com paratively few complaints, .not result ing from tlie laws themselves so much as from the want of vigilance in admin istering them? This tho penalties of the laws should remedy. Kleetions un der these laws will, therefore, impose no hardships, nor do any wrong to tlie people, if conducted as the law requires, and it is in this spirit wo ought to ex pect them to be conducted. For these and other reasons which might be given a majority of us think that the injunc tion prayed for in each of tho hills should be granted. Jedges Read and Agnow road dissent ing opinions. Letter From Senator Fessenden.— In declining a public dinner tendered him, by Governor Bullock, Samuel Bow les, Charles Eliot Norton, and James Russell Lowell, as well as seventy-three other Republicans of Boston and vicini ty, Senator Fessenden, under date of June 25, writes a long vindication of ids vote acquitting the President, in which lie restates the position of his speech in secret session, which we have published, with, great emphasis and variety of de tail. Tho only reference he makes to tlie aspersions ou-hlmself is to say; “ One thing the people had a right to demand of me, before and above all oth ers, to wit: that, in discharging tho great trust they had committed to my hands, i should shrink from no responsi bility which that trust imposed, and al low no coward fears of personal conse quence to lead me estray from the path of official duly ; and I flattered—perhaps deluded—mysetf with tlie hope that the testimony of a life, including more than fourteen years consecutive public service, 'would protect me against the vile calum nies of those who sought uud affected to find for a course -of action by which f eohld gain nothing and might lose much, motives criminal or mean. This hope was founded on a belief in the intelli gence and cantlor of the American peo ple, who aeledom fail eventually to justi fy those who serve them faithfully. I am proud and happy to acknowledge that you, gentlemen, have strengthened and confirmed that cunlidenen-- - No MailjS.—-Since the 30th ult., no mails have passed up or down the Cum berland Valley. It appears that the con tract for carrying the mails on the Cum berland Valley railroad, from Harrisburg to Hagerstown and back, expired on the last day of June. A day or two previous to this the Post Master General notified the officers of the Railroad Company that it was his determination to reduce the expenses of carrying the mail on ibis route twenty-five per cent. The officers of the road, after consultation, concluded not to carry the mails at the proposed re duction, and therefore have refused to receive them on the cars since the com mencement ol the present ipdnth. . We can scarcely find language pointed enough to he used in condemnation of this bung: ling and heartless business. For the peo ple of this Immense valley, (from Harris burg to Hagerstown) to bo deprived of mail facilities is such an intolerable and heartless outrage, that the men who have brought it about deserve the severest condemnation. We cannot say where the blame rests, whether with the. Post Master General or our railroad. Perhaps botli are censurable, aud certain it is both are receiving the’ hearty curses of 'the people. The railroad company should have continued to carry the mails even if it had a'difficulty with the Post Office Department. It was at once heartless and almost criminal to refuse to do so. — Tlie difficulty must bo settled very soon, at any rate, and our railroad officers could have, without the least,inconveni euce, continued to carry the mails during the time they were negotiating with the P. O.. Department. Corporations, how? over, as we have frequently said, are self ish, grasping and indifferent to the wants of tho people. The feeling against the Cumberland Valley Railroad is intense, aud a new road is freely talked of. And yet we would not relievo tho Post Office 'Department of its responsibility in this outrage, for it should have had its' new contract with the railroad concluded be fore the old one expired. We do hope tlie vexatious difficulty may he speedily adjusted. ; 2,-' - Try it. —The Hartford Post says some genius has solved the problem. What is to be done with hoop skirls that have out lived their usefulness a-, articles of wear ing apparel ? He bangs them up in his corn patches as scarecrows, and they are said to Andrew Johnson. Pests.— Housewives complain very_ much that the flies and snails are busily at work in the gardens; destroying veg etation of every description. The old remedy of casting lime broadcast In gar dens, we think, would soon wind up the careers of these destructive pests. , Very Tight.—Our fashionable young gents are appearing,on the streets clad in very short coats and very tight pants. .They look embarrassed and unhappy, y " ■ Revenue Officers at work.—Five distilleries in York county \yerp seized and closed liEt wepk for frauds on the revenue, and. the , proprietors held for trial.

IL dc a I Items A Scene of Splendor to Come.- To iho citizens of- Carlisle.-IS o one who will witness the gorgeous street pageants of the Great European Circus, which will be given in the'streets, In this place on Thursday, July 16, will ever forget them. The brilliant cortege of Knights- in burnished steel armor; the resplendent beauty of the gay lines pf elaborately deco rated Chariots, Carnages, Platform Cars, and allegorical Tcthlcctx vivants , the long procession of Ladies and. Gentlemen mounted on' gallant steeds and pretty palfreys; the magnificent Globe Car; with the Goddess of Liberty on the sum mit of an immense sphere representing the world ,* -the Fairy Chariot of Queen Mab, drawn by.a team of “Little Ato mies,’ 1 in tlie shape of a drove of dioiinu tivo Wheatland Ponies, the prettiest and ouuningest little creatures ever seen ; and the grand culminating feature of tho vast pigoant, tho Great Colosslal Leonine Car; bearing upon: Its-spacious dais a group of beautiful women, in the centre of which a large living Lion, free, loose, uncaged, and unchained, crouched in all ids native majesty and beauty—all form ed a scene of iridescent splendor, which cannot fail of leaving an endurable im pression. This immense establishment, famous alike for its gorgeous'street display, the magnitude and variety of Company, and Hie surpassing excolleco of its perfor mances, is under tho managemt of the proprietors of tho Great Circus which created so much excitement in Paris du ring the great Exposition last summer, and now ' returns more brilliant, more vast, and more attractive than ever. Tito novelty and grandeur of the Street Procession have been by the addition of an iinmeuce vehicular struc ture called the “Auriferous Chariot of Alexander,” among the pooularand im posing features of which is a colossial Golden statue of the famed War Horse Uucebpalns.” This splendid Chariot will contain the full silver Cornet Band, which will play the most popular airs of the day, ami will bo drawn by a team of Dromedaries, fresh from the vast desert of Sahara. The great European Circus will exhibit at Carlisle, on Thursday,July 10, and con sequently this dazzling display cannot be seen until that time. Wait for itl Look*for it! See it! It Ims.up. rival! No equal! It stands fuii fjcncrh /' None but itself can bo its parallel. •, Tin? Conversation of Women.— lt is very well to call the talk of women trifl ing and frivolous; if it is pleasant and graceful it is all that-can-bo desired. —‘ Conversation should be the relaxation of life; and the moralists, who requiro'that itshoirtd always be of an “improving” character, have no idea of its,proper so cial uses. Improving I have we not ser mons, good books, lectures, institutions, and complicated educated machinery enough, oi all kinds, to improve us all on the face of the earth, if nature did not oppose a little wholesomri duncehood to this swooping tide of instruction! Must the schoolmaster still follow us into little holiday? If the Queens of society will* only give ua talk which,shall bo bright, without illnatured sharpness, playfully, without silliness —if they will 1 show us that affection, vanity, jealousy and slander are no necessary ingredients in the social dialogue, but that rather they give ah ill savor to the wittiest, and the cleverest play of words—if they will remember, that good humor, sympathy, and. the wish to please for the sake, of giving pleasure, will lend a charm to the most common-place thoughts and ex- pressions—their converaatioifrwill “im prove” us- perhaps, quite ns much as iljOaC popular leeujrfN, ~„.i rnr -iar sermons. The talk which puts you in good humor with yourself and.you neigh bor, is n # ot wholly profitless, If it has but made half an hour pass pleasantly, which with a less agreeable companion would have been spent in gloomy silence, bro ken by spasmodic efforts resulting hi.dis-, gust at your own, and his or her stupidi ty, it will, have effected one of the ends for which speech was given us. The Fourth in Carlisle.—Our Na tional Birthday came and went without any general Celebration in Carlisle.. Had it not been for a few patriotic young men who turned out with, muskets, about 1 o’clock iu the morning, and murcbed around to the music of a fife, played In excellent stylo by; W. H. Widnbr, while, our genial young friend Charley Harris, worked himself into a violent prespira tlou with bis vigorous manipulation of the bass drum, we would, have, almost forgotten that the “ Fburth’Miad arrived. Later in the day the effects of the heat of the weather, or the fee .that some peo ple drank in their water, bpcame evident. The symptoms were great talkativeness With not very clear utterance, a weak ness of the kness, general looseness of the joints, and an inability in some cases to keep on the pavement. But as the “ Fourth” is a day of the largest liberty, but little notice was taken of such things. Why is it that we can not have a Forth of July Celebration in Carlisle now-a-daya.? Most of us can remember when we had military parades, political dinners and all sorts of doings jn and around our an cient borough, Are we growing less pa triotic than formerly, or is tho recollec tion of the days that “ tried men’s souls” 1 dying out? ’ To Kill Fleas.—Place ithe ferocious animal on a smooth board and pen him in with .a hedge of shoemaker’s wax;— Then as socm as he becomes quiet, com mence reading to him the doings of Con gress, and In flvo minutes he will bural with indignation. • ■ - Good Paper.— We have received the first number of the Daily Columbia Spy.
