WALIACKS

Last evening gay and crowded house was gathered
to witness the production at this graceful house. for
the first time in this country, of drama, in five acts
entitled "The Knights of the Round Table" Though
bearing the parental name of Mr.. Planch6 it has been
simply adapted by him from piece by Messrs. Gran
ger and 1Iontissn, produced years since at the
Ambgu Comique, in Paris, with similar title, " Les
Cheyaliers de Lausquenet.' lndeedt has the French
soil Yisbly adherDg to ts roots, the two best charac
tiers, Tom Tttlor and Peggy Poppln, being unmis
tskably French and Mr.. Smith being merely saved
from Gallicsm by Mr. Brougham translating him into
an lshman of the free and audaciOus school II is
regular drama of the Boucvards, the interest being
created less by the characters than the skill with which
their adventures made to succeed each other to
maintain interest and satisfy curiosity. The story is
simply that of two intended victims rescued from
gang of unprincped advenurers, but IA the plot pro-
ceeds assumes various forms and series of tableau
are unfoded full of interest and excitement. Indeed,
if Mr. Pianch6 has taken it from the French he has
made il his own by the skill and enterprise with which
lie has brought out the ncees of dramatic dialogue,
the smoothness of phrase and the quick point of wit
and repartee, which is the charm OF French comedy.
There was nothing particularly in girl stolen by
a gipsy. or a benevolent old Colonel or a cool swinder
Ike Colonel Camoens played by Mr. Lester with admi
rabe ease audacty and nonchalanee but they all talk
pleasantly, keep the plot steadily moving, and bring it
briskly and neatly to a close.
We are happy toptonounce it an entire success Mr.
Wolcot as Tom Tter quite equal in freshness and
vlvacity and genial pleasantness to Harley, OF whom
he constantly reminds us. Miss Mary Cannon, too,
whom we saw for the irst time, was little de-
light as Peggy Poppins, full of grsete archness and
innocent vvacity, with just the precise dash OF girls
coquetry to complete the charm We envied happy
Tter when he took to bis arms such parcel OF JOY

BROADWAY THEATER.


At this house Herne the Hanter has been for
the past week IN the full tide Of success and bids fair
to return to the treasury, with ample interest, the
large sums which have been expended upon it, produc
ticn. The marsger has spared no expense TO make
this piece attractive by all the usual spectacular ap
yauces OF FIRE scenery, gorgeous dresses, magnificent
trappirgs and decorations and, although a literary
production, it challenges little commendation, it is
rounded with 80 much glare anu brllianee in the rep
resen,ation that II becomes really worth seeing. The
actors. both human and equine, have become broken
II. and perform their several parts with more resgna
,on than at first; while the gentlemen whose vocation
II = TO change The venue by shifting the scenery have
become go accustomed TO the complex indescribabi-
ties Of their department that no delay is occasoned
by their unseen performances.
Although one or two accidents, of more or less I'M
potance occurred in the first representations of this
every precauton possible has been taken against
ike occurrences.
As show pieces to be the order Of the day, the
public can amply crafty its love of gaudy glitter by
visiting the Broadway Theater and in the grand pro-
eesson and the tournament scenes of Herne the
Hunter satiate its peculiar appetite. Since pieces OF
this description depend much upon the ability of
the scenic artist than the talent Of the writer il may
confidently be expected that it will not be long before,
at the end of a play, the audience will call the
scene painter before the curtain to bow his acknow-
edgmepts and ignore the existence of the author alto

THE AMERICAN PARTY IN NATIONAL
CONVENTION
THIRD DAY-MoNDAY.

From Our Special Reporters.
PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. %, 1886.
The Convention adjourned on Saturday, with tr-
umph of the purpose to stop platform making, and go
into nominations at once. Had the resolution been
adopted to proceed Immediately to that work, cand-
dates would probably have been selected that night
But the Sunday caucusing has developed another
change. The South not satisfied to go on In the
present condition of things and are here IN full force
boters and all to make fresh effort in behalf OF their
pet Twelfth Section. The North is more than equally
determined not stand nomination on the present
platform, and have prepared their ultinatum, which
being rejected, they will secede. Everything Is at
sea again, and the universal expectation OF bigger
row than we have yet seen.
The Convention opened at 10 O'Clock, no persons
being admitted to the hall delegates and report
ers. The question pending at the Saturday ADJOURN
ment was on the new platform of Mr. Small OF Penn
sylvania The prayer was a fervent sUpphcation for
the salvation of the Union by this Convention. If the
one depends on the other, the Republic has tearfu
fate before it.
In the struggle for the foOr Mr.. SMALL OF Pennsyl-
yana obtained it, who insisted that his resolutions
were now before the Convention.
Mr. ELAN Of Louisiana made a point of order, that
this Convention, deriving its existence and powers
from the National Council, has authority TO repu
diste the acts of that body the power to do so rest
only with the great American party in its primary
assemblies. The President declined TO entertain the
proposition of Mr.. Elan. Mr.. f. appealed from the
decision. Appeal laid on the table
Mr.. KnIIsGER of Pa. proposed, and Mr.. SMALL
accepted the following resolution as substitute for
his propositions:
Resolred, That the National Council has no ag-
,hory 10 prescribe platform of principles for tins
Nominating Convention and that we VIII nominate Tor
President and ice-President no man who Is not IN
favor Of nterdicing the introduction of Slavery into
territory north Of so 30 by Congressional action.
This is the Northern ultimatum, and the previous
question was moved upon it. The Convention re-
fused to order the main question, and then New
iok delegate moved to lay the resolution on the
table, and the yeas and nays ordered upon 1t
Ills was accepted by tho friends Of the resolution as
stest question
Ane was adopted that no delegate should be al
owed more than three minutes to explain his vote.

THE NORTHERN SECESSION

The Free. State delegates to the American Conven
ton, who left it when justice to Kansas was denied
and a Pro-Savery nomination forced to their lips,
have been holding a meeting at the Merchants Hotel
but have not yet issued the protest and address which
they propose to put forth. 1t will state clearly the
erou1ds upon which they stand, and make strong
issue before the people Of the Free States with the
Pro Slavery party that has obtained possession of the
national organization.
The number OF delegates who participated in this
moven ant is not far from fifty. Gov. Johnston OF
Penn repudiates the nomination of Millard Fillmore
aud the Squatter Sovereignty and Fugitive Slave law
platform on which he stands.
Massachusetts is a black spot. Only about one
quarter of the delegation stood firm in the hour of trial
the rest stay ed by and training with the South
ern secessionists and Northern doughfaces.
Thomas. ii. Ford and Thomas Spooner, of Ohio
have had participation in the proceedings OF the
nominating Convention from the start. They saw
and experienced enough to scken and disgust them in
the Council Nineteen of the Ohio delegates to the
National Council repudate its platform, and seven
teen Of her delegates to the Convention form, with the
entire Connecticut delegation, the body'guard OF the
Northern demonstration of to-day. They truly repre-
sent the American sentiment of their States, and he
people will sustain them.
