PROGRESS OF THE ITALIAN OPERA.-We give
elsewhere letter from Mr.. StrakOsch to the
editor Of another Journal in which the empresario
makes the most positive assertion that he manages
the Opera himself alone" as Caesar conquered
Spain, or as Napoleon crossed the Alps. The
case is precisely as we have previously stated it.
Mr.. StrakOsch had something to advertise, and he
chose those journals having the largest circulation
for his purpose. In SO doing he only followed
the example of other clever business men. The
Harpers advertise their newspaper and their ma
gazine-Bonner his Ledger-Stewart his dry
goods, almost exclusively in the journals selected
by StrakOSch, and we never heard their right to
do SO questioned, even by the small papers
who have endeavOred to bully Strakosch into
giving them few dollars to sustain
their miserable hand-to-mouth existence.
Suppose one of these small Journals
should advise the public not to buy of Stewart
vertsements Hsw absurd it would seem, and
what curious effect it would have, so far as its
limited circulation could have any effect. This
course, however, they have pursued with Stra-
kosch, and the result has proved that he was
right. All their humbug and vituperation have
not taken dollar from his pocket, and it has
probably had rather beneficial effect than
otherwise. The season is already half finished,
and has been successful, pecuniarily and artist
cally, and that in spite of the most terrible
weather, which has had serious effect on all
public amusements. The groundless attacks
upon Strakosch doubtless caused great many
persons who would otherwise have been indiffe-
rent, to give him their sympathy and support,
while his own tact has done the rest. He brought
forward Nine. de Wilhorst precisely at the right
moment and she achieved an unprecedented sue
cess, attracting two splendid houses AT the worst
season Of the year, and in role that had been
done to death. While the young prima donna is
studying new role, he gives us Parodi in the
"Favorita," with a strong cast-other operas
with a strong combination of artists are in pre-
paration, and the season, which has been exceed
ingy interesting, promises to be brilliantly sue
cessful. OF course the small papers howl more
loudly than ever at this position of affairs; but
they are like the Chinese who proposed to brighten
the English troops with horrible noises Stra-
kosch is master of the situation.

MORE OF CABINET MAKING NONSENSE
Among our latest advices from Washington we
are told that the Robert J. Walker clique are
becoming impatient at Mr.. Buchanan's delay in
putting the said Walker at the head of the Trea-
sury; that the Forney influence is brought to bear
in favor of Walker-poor Forney! as if he were
in condition to do anything yet awhile.)-that
Forney will certainly be Postmaster General;
that Clancy Jones is already appointed to the
office; that Mr.. Pickens, Of South Carolina, will
be Secretary of State; that Marcy, after all, will
be retained and that the chances are best of all
for Hunter, of Virginia. Such is our news from
the Washington Cabinet makers Truly, we fear
that they will have to give it up till Mr.. Blu
chanan goes back to Wheatland

iuncture whether or no the committees labOrs
will end in the conviction Of any Of the crimi-
nails We in New York, before Judge Rusel's
advent, were quite used to see rogues escape, and
we should not be at all shocked to hear that the
Congressional rogues enjoyed similar IMMUNITY
for there is no Judge Russell in Congress. Ways
and means will not be wanting if the committee
desire to let the guilty 60 free. A severe speech
in Congress may be the worst punishment that
awaits them.
But even with this miserable end to their la
bors, the committee would not have lived wholly
in vain. The fright has been wholesome Many
scheme, in imitation of the famous Minnesota
the WOodwOrth's patent, the Pacific Railroad
have been precipitasely dropped, and got uu-
der the table, lest these tremendous committee
men should come to hear of it, and put uuplea-
SAINT questions to the parties concerned Many a
lobby member who calculated on clearing his
twenty-five Or thirty thousand net has been OBJ
liged to retrench; and has laughed in his sleeve
at meeting evidences of Spartan virtue in faces
which once were supple enough. Our public
lands have been greatly helped by the committee.
Instead of millions of acres to spectators, it
seems doubtful whether single one of the host
of dishonest bills to give Uncle Sans land away
will be passed at the present session of Congress.
OF patent extensions we hear little or nothing.
Before the committee, it was instructive to
notice the sudden enthusiasm with which
Congressman, Senator'S, lobby members and
newspaper correspondents had taken to the study
of mechanics and dynamics; now, it seems the
higher branches Of political science have resum-
ed their wonted sway. Nor it is likely that this
wholesome effect OF the Corruption Committee
will have worn off before the close of the session.
If, on the other hand the committee should
really report-as it has examined-in earnest,
there is no saying what may not be the effect of
the investigation. If We could only have charges
of corruption plainly and clearly fastened on
members of Congress- or members of the lobby
if We could have them fairly and honestly tried
and sentenced, and held up to public contempt
then, indeed, would the names Of the members of
the committee 60 down to posterity enshrined in
honor. Perhaps to expect so much is utopian.
Nobody doubts that there are some members of
Congress, and all of the lobby, who are corrupt
Nobody questions but that votes are sold every
session. Nobody believes that the committee is
corrupt or that it does not desire to do its duty
Yet, in spite OF all these facts, nobody expects
that any one will be punished not even Simon
ton, who by his own confession, has been sort

years

THE WAY TO PuT 4 SToP TO GARRorNG.-
From paragraph which We publish elsewhere,
on earrotiDg in England, il will be seen that
every garroter is to be punished by perpetual
IMPRISONMENT. The New York public will be
glad TO hear that il has been promptly carried
into effect in this city by Judge Russell The
extent TO which garoting has prevailed naturally
excited the alarm of all peaceeble citizens, so
much so that people were almost afraid 10 ven
ture out after nightfal Judge Russell, however
by the prompiness decision and severity with
which be has visited every offence of the kind,
has done more towards the protection Of life and
property than all the police force Of the city.
When galroters find cut that they cannot escape,
and that they have TO deal with a Judge who
cannot be ,ludcd, they will scek some other field
Ar the practice Of their peculiar VOCATION.
