Rowell & Co. is the largest and best Advertising Agency in the United States, and we can cheerfully recommend it to the attention of those who desire to ad vertise their business scientifically and sys tematically in such a way; that is to, secure the largest amount of publicity for the Jeast expenditifre of money."

Read the advertise ment, it speaks for itselt. The able and .unanswerable speech of Mr. Mabson, Representative from this coun ty, appears in this issue. It shows what a noble stand Mr. M, has taken, I and how gal lantly be fights and will continue to fight the enemies to good government, it also shows that he is an enemy to ku kluxism and that be is endeavoring to bring down upon the hea-ls of its leaders merited pun ishment , The Odd Fellovs' Soireaud Levee, at the City Hall last evening, was in every resjject a successful and pleasant affair. The hall was very neatly arranged, being garlanded with wreaths and flowers and hung with flags reflecting great credit upon the committee who bad charge of the arrangements. A large table extending tbe i ntire length pf the Hall was loaded with the good things oi this Hie. the members of the Lodge marched fo the Hll i.n a body' in full re galia. An address was delivered by Rev. Mr.tSluly which did credit alike to his head and heart, daneing was commenced at 12 o'clock and every thing went &s merry as a marriage bell. To sum it up in a few words the entire affair was a complete suc cess a?d one enjoyed by all who attended it. " . Dan Rice. Twenty-one years ago, Dan Rice made bis first and last appearance in this city as leading clown in Stone & McQullums' Circus. To-day be returns, the sole manager and proprietor of the largest. and most complete arcnic- organization in this country. With the exception of the band, there will be no street parade. Mr, Rice adopts the very correct theory that all, of this outside glitier'in vol ves useless ex- pensewbicb cm only be indulged in at the expense of the performance itself. Tbe press throughout the country give him credit for organizing the finest troupa ct artists extant. Prof. Nelson and bis infant children baye taken the American people b ' surprise, and it is said that . they com mand a larger ' salary tban any family of gymnasts in the world.. The programme announces Morgan, tbe champion bare-back rider ; Maya, the French clown ; Cooke, the great English jester; O'Brien, the vaulter and double somersault performer.; Lizzie Marcellus, the youthful Equestrienne, and ficores of acrobats, gymnasts and trapeze perforaiers, all leaders in their profession. Mr, Rice himself appears at ,cach cxhibitien, in bis old original character of the Nation's Humorist. The veteran manager' will also introduce bis wonderf ul trained horses, ed ucated mulea and performing dogs, all features having special ; interest to the re fined and fashionable j The ; gtr canvass is heated by eight immense furnaces plaeed under the circle of eeats, and is brilliantly lighted with tbe new patented gas.

Dear Post What ? does the Star man want ideas 1 We will give him one which, if supported with vigor,', and as much pertinacity as be has espoused the ku klux cause, will place him fhigh on the lad der'of fame. Yes, little insignificant twink ling 'iwi the itrst magnitude; but in becoming thus good and great, you would r cease to be a jpedler of aristocratij notions, you would cease to reg ulate a: man's atafus, by the number of slaves he formerly owned, or by his present posi tion as member of the ku klux den Shut up your kb klux shops, and in their stead organize a Conformist party, with educa tion (that's the idea, Mr. Star), for its shin ing light. Gild the platform with equal rights work as bard fox its success, as you have for the party without ideas, and the reward is yours. Drive out this silly pre judice of color; recognize human beings (no matter what their shade) as such. In other words cease to be a' democrat, or as you say, a man without ideas, and th6 pet pie will look up to, and bless you. Congress has assembled, and organized the committees have. been appointed, and every preparation made for a long and im portant session. In the House, Speaker Blaine's choice of committees met with general favor, although some feeling was created by throwing But ler out in the cold. - Dawes is made chair man of the committee , on Ways and Means, a majority of which committee is; under stood to be for low tariff. Garfield is chair man ot Appropriations, which will proba bly cause f more liberal appropriations tor the succeeding year. . Beck, of Kentucky, in the House, and in the Senate Blair, ot Missouri, attempted to make a blow for the ku klux, but were very speedily snowed under. .The President's message was well received and generally approved by the Republicans, and tbe democrats find but very few flaws in it. Scburzf, of Missouri, nodded his head as if well pleased with the recommendation for general amnesty. t There is every probability that some de finite step will be taken in ference to Civil Service Reform, so earnestly desired by the President. A bill has already been introduced which disfranchises any citizen of this country who owns, or is interested in slaves, no matter where the slaves are. Waddell, of the 3d district, astonished every one by speaking in the House, on Thursday last, and making a fuss over one Bettis.a ku kluxer, who was arrested illegally as he alleged; the resolution he introduced on the matter was put in the waste basket along with other democratic trash, and Waddell resumed bis seat for -another Rip Van Winkle nap; you will probably bear no more from him this session. I suppose you, have heard that he tried to obtain cer tain . appointments for colored friends by prating" of his: Union principles, but his 8bsteriog designs were sqon nipped in the bud. Poor Waddell ! Sumner, of Massachusetts, is exerting himself to induce legislation compelling a resumption .to specie payment.. He pro poses the issue of compound interest notes at Jqw rates, which would, no doubt, bring the desiredj result in a short t4me,and seems to be the only feasible method. Great efforts are being made to introduce a system of postal telegraphy. The House is about equally divided on the matter, and there is Uttje likelihood of any definite ac- tion. : ' ' ; i x , The House will make every effort to rush through a general amnesty bill, and one has already been introduced in that body, which will relieve the disabilities of ninety-nine out of every hundred, u ; . ' : ' Butler looks the same as ever, . e. two ways, and stands all- manner of joking over his defeat for the Governorship of Massa chusetts. Tba difficulty between , him and Farnswortb has been dropped- His to be hoped forever. But enough of Congress for the present. . Qiu.' Rutherford has . been very; highly complimented for the thorough manner in which he has administered his office, and the efforts he has made to reduce the ex penees. He is probable the best Auditor of the Treasury Department . . .... . amusements. ; - . Unlike Wilmington, we are never treated to "fourth pi ass" shows the amusements generally are $)L the t highesf ., order. Wall's Opera House was destroyed ' by fjre a few days since, and in consequence all theatre-goers" are forced to f reouent the Na tional. ; Mrs. I.

I V I .Wonder if I Could Danc," the principal steel plate, is one of the most charming we have ever seen. Tbe price is but two dollars a year, with great deductions to clubs; and splendid premiums are offered to the persons getting up clubs. Specimens are sent gratis. We advise par. ties to see a specimen before subscribing for anything else. Address Cbas. J. Peterson 306 Chestnut street, Philadelphia; 1 r Ballu's Magazine for January. We find in the January number of Bailouts Magazine, which is just issued, such a com plete collection pf stories, romances, poems, engraviBgs, and real useful information, that we do not wonder Bailouts Monthly is so popular with all classes of society. Here we see a New Year's story, and there a sea yarn, and we read through the whole publi cation and wish for ' more. The magazine is only $1.50 per year, or 15 cents per copy, and is for sale at all of the news depots in the counntry. Thomes & Talbot, Publish ers, 63 Congress street, Boston. The Unknown Meltitude The Oaths The Bible First The Human Skull and Blood, the Clo.ing Oath I As i we baye before stated, . Capt. Hester and Mr. ICeith, U. 8. Officers entrapped, secured, and brought to this city, a number ot ku klux, from Sampson county. They are known by another name The Unknown Multitude and we are exceedingly sorry to be assured that in the one county of Samp son alone, there are not less-than two tliou sand members, worn in, and belonging to the Unknown Multitude I ; Before us, we have a written confession from one of them ; its revelations are simply horrible to contemplate 1 We confess our sense, of horror, on reading it I We confess our astonishment and more than surprise, that men,, whose. names are therein given, should have taken upon themselves, and aided in administering to others, the Oaths. While the Oaths are being administered, the members of the Order, with their dis guises on, stand around with their pistols cocked, and other weapons held in readi ness to slay their victim, should he falter, and refuse to proceed. . The First Oath is as follows : ' I, A. BJ, do j solemnly swear before Al mighty God, and in the presence of these my friends, here assembled, that I will truly and faithfully keep secret even untd death, the plans j and movements ot this society. I do furthermore swear that I will come at the calling of the first G. C. (Grand Council) of the Unknown Multitude, at any hour of the moon ; that I trill rattle the dead bones; that I will follow upon the track of the scalawags' blood. Do you swear, that in case of ever being interrupted in any civil government,, in which we may' be operating, that you will regard no bath that , will convict one of its members, but Under , all circumstancs, stand by the Order in both death and llood !
