that this committee is more than they bargained

they know for reasons best known TO themselves.

morning journals aud IN the Courier des Eats
Un,s. which journals give him all the publicity
that he could possibly have, if he published his
announcements in everything bearing the name
OF newspaper published in the city. These four
journals have a circulation of over one hundred
thousand sheets every morning, while the Wall
street papers, numbering eight or nine, have not
altogether over twenty thousand circulation, and
they all charge as much as the newspapers of
advertising is not only to spend money literally,
but to know where to spend your money to the
greatest advantage. Now all the managers know
as well as Strakoscb that great deal OF money
is thrown away upon the small fry journals, and
that the three or four leading papers reach every
one that ever pays a cent at the door of their
theatres, but they are so morbidly egotistic-ao
exceedingly thin skinned, and so inordinateIy fond
Of fattery that they fear to cut off the small pa
pers. Some Of the managers live on puffs in the
dull season at the theatres, and when they can
not get them in any other manner they puff
themselves on their own bills
Strakosch's success, however, will teach them
new lesson. He will receive any quantity OF
puts, over the leit hand, but these will make
public Sympathy for him, ard do him great
deal of good, in the small tea parties where
those journals are circulated He has hit upon
the true secret; he has paid for his advertise
ments cash down and received the full value of
his cash, for who will say that the fact that the
season to commence at the Academy, under
bis direction on Monday night, has not been well
advertised. Does not every one know it? Does
not every one feel that there will be q great
crowd to welcome Parodi to the lyric stage from
which she has been too long absent wasting her
sweetness upon the rustcs in Boston, Philadel-
pbia and other slow rural districts? Do not all
the young ladies in the Fifth avenue know that
Fiberini the sweet tenor, is also to sing on that
night? Does not Mademoiselle Traphagen of
No. 500 Broadway, and all the other dealers in
Opera 5Joaaerie, knick- knackerie, lingerie &c. &C..
experience a healthy revival in trade? We
rather think they do. And we rather think that
Sirakosch has saved himself at least one half the
money usually spent in advertising the Opera;
that the Opera has been better advertised than
ever, and that the manager has gained eonsi-
derable amount Of gratuitous Advertising and
created quite q nice little Jrore, which will
bring pleasant addition to his bank account.
Decidedly S,rakosch is the greatest financier

The opinion Of the Supreme Court in the Dred
Scott case has the operaton-if for that purpose
it is to be regarded as law-of interfering with
the local construction given by the Courts of
Rhode Island and Maine to the constitutions Of
those States. In both Maine and Rhode Island
the right of suffrage is confined, by the terms
of the State Constitutions, to citizens of the U.
S.; but this has never been construed as depr-
wing colored natives of those States of the right
to vote. The Senate OF Maine has called upon
the Supreme Court of the State for its opinion
as to the Dred Scott decision upon the imterpre-
| tation of the State Constitution. The Supreme
Court of the United States has heretofore con-
ceded to the State Courts the right of interpre-
; ting their own constitutions and statutes, and
as the question raised in Maine relates only to a
right to be exercised exclusively under the laws
of Maine, we do not see why the authorities of
that State should abandon their own settled
construction and drive the people to the trouble
of amending the State Constitution, merely to
comply with the humor of the slaveholdng ma,
jority Of the Federal Court-N. Y. Tribune.

A RAT SroRY.-Rats have excited SO much
interest a. the National Hotel at Washington,
by their attempt to destroy Mr.. Buchanan and
his friends, that the following evidence of their
sagacity may be interesting. II is told by the
Rev. Walter Cotton, in his Diary of a Voyage
to California in a man-of.war, entitled "Deck
and Port:"

since my cruise in the Constellation. We were
fitting out for sea at Norfolk, and taking in
water and provisions A plank was resting on
the sills OF one OF the ports, which communi.
Gated with the wharf On bright moonlight
evening we discovered two rats on the plank
coming into the ship. The foremost was lead.
ing the other by a straw, one end of which be
held in his mouth. We managed to cap,ure
them both, and found, to our surprise, the one
led by the other was blind. His faithful friend
was trying to get him on board, where he would
have comfortable quarters during three years,
cruise. We felt no disposition to kill either. and
landed them both on the wharf. How many
there are in the world, to whom the fidelity of
that rat readeth iesson!"

THE MARRIAGE OF THE BRITIsu PRINCESS Roy
AL.-The Cross, Berlin newspaper, states, on
authentic information that the ceremony of be-
trothal of her Royal Highness the Princess Roy al
to Prince Frederick William, will take place at
London during the month OF May, and that the
Prince and Princess of Prussia will accompany
their popular and respected son to England for
that purpose. The marriage, adds the Cross, is
definitely fixed for the 2lst of November, or as
soon after as possible. The new married couple,
it is believed, will remain in England a month
or more, and there pass the Christmas Holidays,
after which they will commence their journey to
the Prussian dominions, and make their entry
in state into Berlin Immediately after the new
year, by which time the palace, now fitting up
for their residence, will be fully completed and
properly aired.

TIE INDIAN MASSACRE IN IowA.-Forty Per-
sons Reported Kiled-The Iowa Citizen of the
1st inst, by letter dated Boonsboro, March
2sth, learns the following:
The Indians have been doing much mischief
northwest of Fort Dodge, some 40 or 80 miles.
They have killed ten or twelve families of whites
over forty persons altogether.
Major Williams has raised c company of near
one hundred men, to bury the dead, and hold Q
coroner's inquest and take the Indians if posi-
ble.:
This is but too true. 1t is supposed that the
band of warriors number some fifty or sixty, and
thought to be of the tribe under Simendotak's
band Of Sioux, the same that robbed old Lot at
the mouth of Boone river, ten years ago.
