a,eIy preceding ,he regular session Of the

ni,y for eleciioneering.
We freely admi, that there are parts oI
this document which shoic ,cell for the man
agement of The presen, state finances al
compared ,oith the years 1859 or 1858, ye
This is mol The proper plan. This is only
comparing one year Of democratic manage
ment and taxation with another; only com
pairing something which is radically bad
with something That is great deal worse
What does il signify, If taxes levied in 1854
are smaller than those levied in 1858, does
,ha, prove anything in favor Of Locoleco
isml Not whit! II the taxes in 1855
are 1000. 900, TOO much, and are $500.
600 less in 1854 Than they we're ip 1858

Let us look for moment at the State

.he enIire debt Of The S,aie was $l9 ,246 .009
besides Aoa,ing or "unGnnded debt which
made !, over $20,000,00o. This enormous
debt had been saddled on 10 The Slaie by Lo.

State debt was reduced 81 1896. .033, or abou

The Contrast.

A few weeks since, when the news Of the
success Of the administration party in Penn.
sylvania and Georgia reached this city, so clat.
ed with joy were the anti-Americans, that the
city rang with the yers and shouts Of the en-
thusiastic Antics The streets, lounging rooms
and groggcries were throngcd with the excited
crowd during the night and succeeding day
but yesterday, and last night, when the news
from New York, Massachusetts,, and Maryland,
gave cheering indications Of the success Of the
Americans, quiet and order prevailed The
Americans received the news with that calm
dignity which becomes Americans, and law
and-order-loviDg citizens.

Germans, and deny not from a covardly fear OF
men, those better and freer convictions which they
brought with them from Germany
The German Zeitung ofNew Orleans, advises all
Germans to hurry 70 the courts and perfect their
naturalization in order 10 increase the strength of
their brethren 10 hold power In this city and coun.
try, and brands Native Americans with the oppro-
brious epithets Of incendisries, conspirstors and
fanatics. Thus 10 different localities we find the
same spirit actuating our emgrant Germans hostile
TO all that Is national, and perpetuating foreign
feeling in the United States. y.
Now, II is precisely such advice as the above
which is calculated TO estrange the German and
other emgrants from the country OF their adoption.
BY following such evil counsels, they have already
incurred the hostility Of the American people 70 a
degree dangerous to their welfare. Whstisneeded TO
make the Germans good citizens Is TO forsske their

This 4 rather felcitous title for book written
by musical conductor, and devoted 10 musical
affairs The name of Max Maretzek Is identified
with the history of the Italian opera in this coun-
fry and volume tiom his pen, giving his stage
experiences, both before and behind the scenes, AZ
impressario and conductor, with lively sketches of
artists, amateurs, editors, and others with whom
he came in contact cannot fail to excite general
interest among the musical profession and TO pique
the curiosity Of the public.
We have before us the proof sheets OF Max's
" Crotchets and Quavers," good-sized volume,
10 be issued week after next BY Mr.. French, OF
Nassau street. We have not had time to read the
work through, but as far as we have gone, we have
found il readable and racy. The second title OF
the book il, Revelations Of an Opera Manager in
America Max considers himself the : Don Qux-
otte of Opera and gives with great equanimity,
not to say gusto, the history of his misfortunes
His preface Is sort Of laughing prologue, putting
the reader in good humor and preparing the way,
ike well-seasoned bowl of soup, for " the feast
Of fat thingsn that n TO come.
Following the Introduction, we have letter ad-
dressed to Hector Barlioz Of Paris, giving an &C.
count OF the condition OF musical M tiers in New
York in l848, of the Astor Place rots, with
glimpses OF Bennett, Fry, and Other leading ope-
ratio and cratic g stars This wl be considered
decidedly spicy reading, especially BY the parties
discussed We lack space for few appeti1ng ex-
tracts. The second letter is addressed 70 Fioren-
tno, Of Paris, in which Willis, De Trobriand, and
other New York critics are shown up, With few
| pages devoted TO the upperten ladies, and sirtu-
osos Of the Opera. In this chapter, also, the
!" manager Of the New York press comes in for
dash. The third letter is dedicated 70 the great
| Lablache, and is made up mostly OF Jenny LIND
and Barnum, with the tour Of the former and the
biography Of the latter. 1t contains some sharp
| hits. a
But we have not time to follow the jolly Impre-
sario through all his adventures, his battles and
his triumphs his career as the manager OF loco
motive Opera company, visiting Cuba and Mexico,
Of which latter country he gives us some very pic
turesquc and clever sketches. That these "Crctch-
cts win be in quick demand, there be little
doubt. The book is filed with just the kind OF
pquant gossip and amiable personalities that our
| fashionable public particularly delight IN.
