| A close study of the law above quoted, may
perhaps, satisfy the members Of the Board that
their implicit obedience to an injunction hastily
and iuconsiderately issued, has not entirely ex-
emnted them from that " fine and imprison-
mentn which hiss been such bug bear in their
ewes. This always. provided the charges against
the member on trial shall be substantiated
Considering the proceedings Of the majority
of the Board n relation to this matter in the
most favorable light, they were in every way
unworthy of body of men delegated to preside
over the destinies of an enlightened public Be-
ing members Of legislative body, they have
rules which govern it; admitted there under
certain qualifications, they have yet not had
the moral courage to reject member against
whom disqualifying objections are alleged but
have consented to sit there from month to month
in intimate contact with him whose alleged
if true, communicates its con-
terminating influence to every individual MEM
Der of the Board
We have no personal objections to the member
whose supposed disqualification has agitated
the Assistant Board for the last six months So
far as individual merit is concerned, we believe
he has few superiors, if any, in that body. In
deed, from the manner in which he has thwarted
their attempts to investigate his case, we be-
lieve that he is more than a match for the fore
most among them. We have no ll-will to crafty
in urging the Board to bring his case to con-
clusion, but on the contrary would rejoice to
witness his triumph. Our only object is to see
the law governing the Board carried out, and
the dignity of the members asserted, in a man
ner honorable to themselves and to their con-
stituepts
There are some developments behind the cur
tain in relation to the late reference of the
case in hand to the Judiciary Committee If
the Board, at its next meeting, shall refuse to
do its duty according to the plain letter of the
law, we shall feel bound to advert to them We
hope the Board will no longer neglect its plain
duty in this regard

ANOTHER STAR IN THE THEATRICAL FmMA-
fENT.-The St. Louis Morning Her aid of the
st inst, in speaking of Mr.. Llewellyn's per-
onation Of Richard Ill, says:
In rendering that ohacacter he is said to be
without his superior ON the stage His read
nGs are for the most part original, and are
tated by those who have heard them to be in
nearly all instances correct, forcible and ele-
yant When he played the part in New Orleans,
he critics and cognoseenti of the city were sur
,rised and enraptured with the beauty, power
md truthfalness of his pottraiture, and unan-
mously pronounced it the Richard of the day
This is all mere CANNON, and has not word
( just criticism in it from beginning to end.
.lewellyn has always been known here as a.
bird or fourth rate stock actor, without either
enius good voice or commanding figure to
him. In the early part of the past
immer some wass about town got him to play
iehsrd at the Varieties, and his PRESERVATION
the character was laughed at as rare spe-
men of the 6uriesque.
We concur with the Herald in saying that
is readings are original, and we indeed be-
eve that their like has never been witnessed
