He OrERA-During the last few nights, new

THE OPERA.-During the last few nights, new
opera has been brought out at the Astor Opera
House, and crowded and fashionable audiences
have graced the interior Of that edfce. 1t is
melancholy, however, to observe, that according
to the critics, the different artists have acted and
sung in an inferler and discreditable manner,
in all respects We gather this intelligence
from the critics of the Express, the Cour-
rier des Etats Unis, and the Tribune. The
critic Of the Courier and Enquirer, for some
reasons, has abandoned the field of his opera
tons, probably In disgust at the shocking man
ner in which Amina was murdered by Sgnora
Bscacciant. Poor Biscaccianti has been BAN
ished to Boston, like as if by an Emperor, to
Siberia. She appears to be not the only failure.
The very pretty and beautiful Barilli has been
denied any merit, except that of personal beauty,
which providence has bestowed upon her, unask-
ed and unrequred. AS regards the other artists,
they are all condemned in the lump, and even
Benedict has received slap on the face. Our
musical critics are amazingly savage, having
cut up and slashed the poor Italians, with as lit
tie remsrse or hum nity as the butchers at the
abattoirs at Paris, fell down the beautiful and
plump animals brought to their city.
We thought we were savage enough and Sc
we're enough sometimes, upon bad singing,
bad acting and bad management. But we must
say these amiable musical critics far exceed ut
in the treatment they give to the poor artists.
| We must look into the matter, and do justice
betw cen the parties. AT all events, the Opera
is still crowded, still fashionable, caused, as W.
think, chiefly by the subscribers, and some o
the artists-certainly not by the management o.
| critics.

Address Of the Committee.

We invite the attention of our readers to
the powerful and convincing address Of the
Democratic State Central Committee, which
we publish entire in our columns to-day; /;
and we hope that Notwithstanding its great
length. it will receive q careful perusal by
every voter in this county and in the State.
No one who reads the address bat must be
conyinded that, by an attempt to pass an
unfair and unconstitutional apportionment
bill, the fe9eral members in the Legislature
last winter, sought to forever place the law
making power in the hands OF the minority
of the people, and thus to subvert the funda-
mental principle upon which our government
is based; that, being thwarted in this effort,
they caused their iniquitous scheme to be
placed upon the statute book of the State
without its ever havig passed into law in
compliance with the provisions of the consti-
tuition and the joint rules of the two branch
es of the Legislature, and that in conse-
quence the State is without an apportion-
ment law and must therefore be without a
Legislature, unless the Governor shall exer.
else the power vested in his hands. by the
constitution, of convoking an extra session
of the Legislature for the purpose of pass
ing an apportionment law, course that wa!
urged by the Democratic Convention of tn
| 10th inst. In case the Governor refused t
accede to that reasonable request, the Con
vertion pointed out the course proper to b
pursued. To the Central Committee was as
signed the important duty cf addressing tn
People of the State upon the momentou
subject, and most ably and faithfully hav
they executed the trust reposed in them. w
again say, let their appeal receive the caref'
and attentive consideration of the freeme
of Ohio.

shoes were from Haverh week before last for the

of this trade, that the OF credit which shoes
sold has been somewhat shortened.-N Y, Herald
The panic. makers will take courage in the fact that
the shoe and leather business, in which many thousands
of men Of limited capital in the New England States are
engaged, is Of magnitude than all the business in
the same States of the great cotton manufactures.
So also it has been apparent, since the great fall in the
price of breadstus that the in Mexico has made the
difference of nearly dollar in barrel in favor of the
flour of the United States that of Canada which can
come into the States only the payment of duty The
price of breadstus in the United States has not been
ruled by the low rates in Europe.
The great expenditures and requirements of the war
have given activity and employment to the industry of
every part of the have they employed
and paid the hands and fingers of both males and females
in all our cities
When the new loan shall be made by the government
to feed and cothe troops long as they NAV be-

In relation to the loss of fifty thousand dollars as

not believe the owners and directors would say on

ties bank credits, instead of specie, with all the
protection which the tariff of 1912 might give them over
that of 1896 and the story that the Amoskeag Company

Irregularities in the mail service That the mails are
much delayed, Is true; nor it be otherwise while the
road is in such condition found it in the latter part
OF January and first OF the present month"; The conrac-

February have carried the mail in covered wagons pre-
pared for that purpose AT the time above named these
were superseded by the OF the forward wheels Of the
wagon, upon which was placed crate or box, with the
view of carrying the mail alone. With this vehicle il
