the newspapers, and few Of what we call in this
city "the oyster house critics." are beginning to
indicate wish for the revival Of the Jenny Lind
mania for the last three concerts which Madame
Goldschmidt has proposed to give by way Of farewell
to the American people, before she leaves this
try finally for Europe. The attempt, we think, will
fail in its purpose There is but Barnum in GEN.
tury; and he is not engaged this particular occa-
sion prepare the way for the revival of an excite
ment Of such character as experienced
here. There is also only one Genin and he is so
busy in showing off his splendid store up Broad
way, that he has no time to pay two hundred dol
lars for ticket for any concert that may be got
up next month.
But there are other and equally forcble reasons,
calculated to produce conviction in the reasoning
mind that no fresh mania can be created in this
city for the approaching concerts Of Madame Gold
schmidt. When Jenny Lind was an angel, it might
do very well to get up an enthusiasm, and to put
concert tickets at prices varying from ten to two
hundred dollars But the angel who enraptured us
under the management of Barnum, has since changed
her condition, and become plain, sensible, Discreet
married woman, with loving husband, and the
prospect of large family of nine young cherubs
for the future generation. These realities cool of
enthusiasm amazingly, and will bring down the
most angelic artistic to the platform OF COM
mon sense, common prices, and common applause.
We think, therefore, that there has been
indiscretion perpetrated in the announcements al
ready made that the prices of tickets for the ap-
preaching concerts Of Madame Goldschmidt to
be at three dollars and two dollars. We have had
the finest operas, performed by first rate aristssuch
as Steffanone and Bosio Savi and Bettini-given to
the public at fifty cents. night after night. The
idea, therefore, of attempting to put up concert
tickets at three dollars, for scraps from the same
operas, even by Madame Goldschmidt, will not, we
think, succeed in the present instance, by genius far
inferior to that which Barnum displayed in the orr
ginal campaign when he had the angel to cheer him
on his course, and the untried enthusiasm of the
public lying open before him. like fat oyster wait
ing patiently to be opened and swallowed
But if the attempt should fail to get up second
edition of the Jenny Lind excitement on the ap-
preaching occasion Of Madame Goldschmidt's fare
well concerts, the lovers Of and lvers enthusi-
assn may as well prepare themselves for something
of the kind, which will be appropriate, during
the course Of the coming summer. when certain

simply publishing the fact that they had agreed
upon Wednesday, the sixteenth Of June, and the

extant history Of France, by some learned jesuit
in which the thrilling career of that nation-the
republic and the empire, from the execution o.

GEN. CAss AND THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW
writer in the Washington Union, in Iaborec
explanation Of the failure of Gen. Cass to vote or
| the Fugitive law, says -" l have never for mo
ment doubted, that had his vote been required &c
pass the BILL he would have been there and recorded
it in the Affirmative" Now, it so happens that
| Gen. Cass was there. He was in his seat when the
question Of ordering the Fugitive bill to its fna
reading was taken by ayes and noes but he did
not vote After the third reading, the bill passed
| as a mere matter Of form. Let Gen. Cass himself
be consulted, if necessary, and we suspect he will
promptly confirm this statement Of the facts. It il
quite likely that had his vote been required, il
| would have been given for the law. He had, how
ever, the courage to face the music and keep quiet
| while Douglas and some others were unavoidably
absent just at that time, very important private
business. Cass did not dodge. He was there But
! it was ticklish experiment, and so he agreed
quietly to let the South have it all their own way.
