IHEATRE.-Mrs. Farren and Mr. Marshall are now
H'ng an engagement at the THEATRE greatly to the
delight OF the play-goers. Of Mrs Farrens merits il is
scarcely necessary to say wordshe deservedy ranks
the most talented ladies who tread the stage in this coun
try but OF MIR. Marshall, it may be necessary to say
something Tor we believe this his first appearance in
Richmond. Without having seen him. we NAV be per-
mted to remark that if he equals the reputation he has
acquired on the Northern boards, he may be SAT ely
classed as line actor So combination oftalent
'hen, must attract large and fashionable audiences
whilst we certainly do enter the lists as eithe
defenders or apoogists of Mr. Manager Potter,
YET we cannot permit the occasion pass BY without
remarkng That we fear his management the present
season has been too harshy if not to hastily Judged
That he has committed bunders, we readily admit but
mat he has wuy endeavored to deceive the patrons
OF the drama, we cannot believe The manager not
iree from the ordinary mperiectons OF human kind and
we all Kno" That the best maured plans of poorallibe
mo itals, often gang awry.". Now, it may be- that
more OF his plans mscarry, than ordinarily falls to the
lot OF managers; but if SO, his misfortune rather
than his fault Whilst the stock COMPANY. with three
or TOUR exceptions, is made up OF rather sorry perform
ers, yet we should recollect that the manager has
spared neither pans or expense TO procure novelty
M eoyer faut-hnders should recolect that theatr.
cal season In this city at best, doubtful experiment
ana mat mereorIous actors be expected throw
up permanent yearly engagements the Theatres of the
Northern cities, to play in Richmond few months,
merely TOR our qualification Ga careful review, then,
we have come to the conclusion that Mr. Potter has
endeavored faithfully TO the public and ought in
justice, to be supported.

EFFECTS OF RELATIONSHIPS indicating the
influence of Railroads..upon the general prosperity
of any district of territory though which they pass,
and especially in approaching the value of real
estate, it is stated that before the location of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad through
Franklin county, Tenn, the best lands were
worth only from eight to ten dollars per acre; and
that since the road was loca ed and the work of
construction commenced, the same lands have
advanced in price to from fifteen to twenty-five
dollars. This shows an increase of quite one
hundred per cent. As the road is completed and
put in operation, the surrounding country must
derive still greater benefits from it,

AT Albany on the 3lst ult. Reuben Dunbar was hung
Tor the murder of two youths, committed some two
months since He was executed in large room in the
JAIL directly over his cell. The account goes on to saw:
The prisoner came into the room selected for the
execution leaning the Of the deputy sheriff and
the Kew. Dr. Beecher. His arms were pinioned. He
was dressed in black, his collar being turned over He
took his seat by direction of the Rev. Dr. Beecher near
under the rope which projected through The floor of
the ROOM the pues, &c, being in the story above
After few moments delay the sheriff intmated to
Dr. Beecher that the prisoner had liberty to speak if he
had anything tosay. The fact was communicated, and
Dunbar made few remarks
he acknowledged his guilt and the Justice of his DOOM
asked tor forgiveness and besought others to take warn
ing by his fate His features as he entered The room
indicated intense emotion. but he maintained his eouani
nifty with remarkable tortude. While speaking he
evinced much less feeling than when he spoke at the
time OF sentence. AT the conclusion of his remarks he
kneeled down, leaning his arms upon the chair, and
Or: Beecher offered deeply impressive prayer
After District Attorney Colyn had read the warrant
tor his execution Deputy Sheriff Burkhans placed the
black cap over the prisoners head and face AS he
stood up under the rope, the was adjusted bv the
officer and attached to the hook During this latter
DUTY although the prisoner seemed to bear himself up
with sufficient tortude, he supported by Mr. Burk
haus He was then drawn up the jerk of the rope pro-
baby breaking his neck as only slight remor passed
over him. r

correspondent of the Enquirer lists the name,
and qualities of the Democratic nominees for Mr.
Seldom place in this wise:

A correspondent of the Enquirer lists the names
and qualities of the Democratic nominees for Mr..
Seddon's place in this wise:
"Scou Robert G.l is powerful, Caskie Judge John
81 is talented. Giles Thomas IT. is eloquent, Loudon
Daniel H. Is patriotic and Jones alexander, OF Ches-
terrified, we beieve is ener2eticthese several gentle
men have been named to fill the seat of Mr.. Seldom
What delightful cadence of qualifications
there is here powerful, talented, eloquent pa
triotic, energetic" 1t reminds us of the droll
farce of Tom Moore the Irish Lion, in which the
literary lady, who gives the Lion party arranges
that at every word he utters, one of the company
shall excaim Beautiful another "Charm-
ing!'-another "Sublime !"-and so on, until fin
ally the military character of the village shouts
"Dem .fne" We do not know which of the
Democratic leaders, from the powerful Mr.. Scott
to the energetic Mr.. Jones, is best entitled to this
last soldierly commentator the amicus curie
OF the Enquirer evidently holds it in reserve for
Mr.. Seldom the present incumbent. He INSISTS that
the Democracy OF the District must make no other
nomination until they have second refusal from
Mr.. Seldom, which he is sure that gentleman will
not utter eff he knows that the Democrats of the
Sixth Congressional District positively, aothout
division, demand his services The writer pre-
diets that if Mr.. Seldom is again candidate. Mr.
Bolts, "the mighty champion" as he calls him,
will not be brought out.

THE TRUE THEORY OF THE TARIFF

The following short article of the Washington
Republic explains with remarkable clearness the
operation of the anti-protective system in this
country. We have long been satisfied that the
course of things which it describes, must be con-
sequent upon the large mportatons induced by
low and uncertain duties.
How TO HAVE CREAP 1RoN.-The division on We'd
nesday last on the proposition to amend the existing
revenue laws, having taken place in committee, The
ayes and hoes not recorded but having been pre-
sent we had an opportunity of seeing who favored and
who opposed the measure, and were greatly struck with
the contrariey that appeared to us to exist between the
real interests ct large sections OF the county and the
| action OF those who represented them.
Among the opponents OF the measure were nume-
rous Representatives OF States now largely engaged or
preparing to engage, in the making ofrailroads and the
reason given by them Tor their course was that thew
needed cheap lron yet to US they appear to be doing
that which must inevitably give them dear iron COM
petition in the production and sale of any commodity
always cheapens it, whereas monopoly always enhances
its price. The reason why IRON is now cheap is, that
our power to produce under the tariff of 1912 to
sSo 900 0ns and thus s. es.s6lshed competition with
ton to halt million of tons, aud threatens to
reduce it to 100000 tons; after which England
and few domestic producers will have reganed
their monopoly OF tho supply, and then iron will
be high in price To keep it cheap competition must
be maintained. The farmer knows that the more
numerous the grst miers, and more the competition
or the purchase OF MS wheat the higher It's price, and
that the more numerous the farmers comparison with
the mills the lower lts price, and such must be the
case with ron The more the producers of iron
and the greater the competition for its SALE the more
readily will it be obtained The fewer its producers, and
the greater the competition for its purchase the higher
it will be. Iflhen they wish iron to continue cheap
while they engaged in making roads, their only
course ash appears to u.s. is to prevent the reestab-
lishment of the English monopoly of the supply Com.
mon sense, therefore, would appear to dictate such
change in the revenue laws will secure the mante
nance of that competition which has already done so
much toward chea penng iron.

The CANAL.--Feeder al the South B,anch.-
The Cumberland Civilian states that the applica.
ton which has been made to the Virginia Legis-
ature, now in session, to guarantee $l5o,O0o of
the bonds of the canal company enable it to con-
sruct feeder at the South branch, has been re-
ceived very .avorably, and stands fair chance of
being granted. This will be an important i'm
p-ovement not only to the canal but to the nhab-
itants OF that portion of Virginia lying on the
south branch. 1t will give an abundance of wa
ter to the one and afford an outlet to market to
the other.

HE PEORIA EXEcUTIoN.-We learn from the
Peoria Qll.) Republican, that Thomas Brown and
Geo. Williams, convicted of the murder of Mr.
Hewett, near that place, in October last, were du-
ly executed according to law on Wednesday the
18th inst. There were ten to twenty thousand
persons present at the execution, many of whom
were women and children, but there was no dis
position manifested to trample upon the law as up
on previous OCCASION or insult the feelings ofthe
prisoners. William was quite subdued and tears
rolled down his cheeks until his face was hid by
the cap from the spectators. Brown, ON the con-
trary, addressed the crowd in clear, distinct
tone, and met his fate with great unconcern.----
Both acknowledged their guilt and the business
of their execution.

THE CONVENTION.

Our State Convention seems determined to gain
the credit of being one of the most deliberate of
deliberative bodies. All that it has accomplished
as yet is to get fairly to talking. The issue now
before it is, simply, whether the Governor shall be
re-eligible after serving one term. Really the
point seems hardly worthy of SO much elaborate
discussion; for the people would not be greatly
dissatisfied either way the matter might be dec-
ded. Nevertheless, we do not deny that the gen.
eral principle involved is an important one. When
it comes to be applied to the tenure of Judges its
bearing upon the interests of the community ia
manifest. But we do not suppose that decision
by the Convention either in favour of, or against
a rereligible Governor, would determine the ques-
ton whether Judge, after serving out his consti-
tutional term, might be continued in his office.
Mr.. Bolts, of the Richmond delegation, on Mon
day, delivered speech which attracted much at
tention, and gave him position at once as one of
the most prominent members of the Convention.
He advocated the principle of reeligbility, in an
elabora'e argument, which was eagerly listened to
throughout.
