Philosophical and Chemical apparatus for de-
monstrating to his classes and having also in

We have rarely derived more pleasure from
a dramatic exhibition than was afforded us last
week by Miss Heron, as Camille. She was
complimented with full house, and she play.
ed the character with 50 natural a grace and
such impassioned feeling as to arrest sympa
thy and enchain attention. She sometimes
startled her listeners with wild bursts Of grief
that almost amounted TO madness, and some
times chilled them by a tranquil and stony
agony SO intense as to be voiceless. Then
again, in the tender passages Of the play, she
abandoned herself 50 completely to love as to
seem the very character she personated. Miss
Heron deserves all the praise that has been
bestowed on her, and few Of her profession
have received so large a share Of IT,
When called for at the close Of the play, she
was received with the most enthusiastic ap-
plause, which she acknowledged SO gracefully
and gratefully as to redouble and prolong it,

THE ELECTIONS.

A despatch from New York, dated yesterday,
says the city has declared for the Know-no-
things, and that the State has probably gone
the same way; and a telegraphic account from
Boston states that the returns from all but nine
towns have been heard from, which give the
Know nothing candidate for governor pu-
rality Of fifteen thousand votes that the Know.
nothings have elected majority Of the Legis.
lature. and returned ChafIee, Of the same party,
to Congress, to FL a vacancy.
In each Of the above named States there
we're four parties in the field, namely: the Dem
ocrats, Wings, Know.nothings, and Black Re-
publicans. As a consequence, the Know-no
things, if they have been successful to the ex.
tent stated, have gained their triumphs by
plurality vote.
From Wisconsin, we learn that Milwaukee
gives Barstow, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, 3,400, and Bashford, Black Republican,
5000. The city and county combined give
Barstow 5000 majority.
In Trenton, yesterday, the Democrats claim
ed that they have carried the State Of New
Jersey; but the data is not reliable.
New Orleans has gone for the Know moth
ngs, but the result throughout the State had
not - ascertained at the last advices
1t is said that the result of the vote in Balti.

not be known until late today, as all the can
ddates are on one ticket and the whole vote
will have to be counted before the result can
be obtained

EQUALITY OF THE STATES THE
ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION.

The Washington onion Of yesterday thus
explains the recent opinion OF Attorney Gene.
raj Cushing in regard to the equality Of the
States.
Some of our city contemporaries remark
upon this opinion, not as unsound, but as If
there we're something improper and irregular
in its having been rendered. We are at loss
to understand what there is strange in it. The
principles Of law laid down are Of frequent
and familiar occurrence in various transactions
of the Government. We have made INQUIRY
as to the particular case on which the question
here arose, and find that it was a reference 10
the Attorney General from one Of the depart
ments, in the ordinary course OF business. on
which he gave his opinion as required by act
Of Congress under date Of the 2Ith ult. The
question referred and decided turned precisely
and exclusively upon the very points Of law
reported and above stated, Of the relative iu-
risdiction and political and territorial rights Of
the old and new States"
We respectfully suggest, in order to avoid
misconstruction, that it will be well when the
Attorney General publishes his opinions to
accompany the publication with the name and
style Of the case. We presume that he does
not feel authorized to proclaim his opinions
except upon a case stated, which being sub.
stantiye part Of the proceedings should always
accompany the opinion.

Hsgr The New York Express, commenting
on the recent Free Love developments in that
city, says:
The Free Love League is but one of the
many old things in new forms that corrupt and
destroy the vitality of society. The isms on
slavery are just as destructive to the Federal
Constitution as is this Love ism to the consti
tuition OF society. One saps the organization
OF the political world, and the other the social
world. When man becomes the victim of
one of them, he is very likely to become the
victim of all, for they all run in series and
groups and they are all catching. First a
diseased mind runs into the abolition fanati-
cism, and then into spiritualism; if man
then does not bring up in Free Love, it is be-
cause beloved wife and children snatch him
from the burning brand

~ The Usage Orange is very generally re-
commended by agricultural authorities at the
West as a valuable hedge plant. The rapid
diminution Of our forests directs attention to
protective hedges in regions where wood is
scarce from natural causes. Thus, in the
prairie sections Of the West, hedges are resorted
70 as a matter Of necessity. The Illinois State
Agricultural Society publish notice recon.
mending the Usage Orange for this purpose,
saying that experience has shown that the
result Of its cultivation for hedges has been
triumphant success. Illinois papers style it
