The SURPRISE PARTY, TRULY.-The
Newburyport Herald says that gentle
man was passing through a street IN that
cny on Thursday night, he heard a noise
in a house near by, which upon closer at
tention. resolved itself into voice urging
a passionate entreaty, alternating with
dolorious groahs. Thinking that some
terrible tragedy was being enacted, the
gentleman rushed to the rescue of the
victim, when he found big luboer on his
knees, signing and groanIng, imploring
in vain for the hand and heart of pretty
young lady who stood before him.

Az HONEST CONFESSION AS FAR AS 1T Co.'s
WHERE IL THE REMEDY THE Albany Evening
Journal, the central organ of Thurlow Weed
Seward and Company, in late editorial on the
crisis, says that 1--WE have been dealing too
extensively In high priced railroads." This is
the truth, but not all the truth, in regard to
the stockjobbing, lobbyjobbipg and kitehying
speculations of such comprehensive political
tinanciers as Weed Matteson and host Of
others of all parties, Of the same financial school,
They have been dealing too largely in their lobby
jobs, both at Washington and Albany-too largely
in patent monopolies, in railroad land bills in
various schemes Of moonsbne internal improve
ments, in Western praries, in Autograph Western
city and town lots, in Kansas emigrations, specu-
latiops, and Kansas bleedings of all sorts; too
largely in niggers, too largely in rotten banks
and too largely with the spoils and plumber mana.

majorites. Now all these bubbles are bursting
and the worst Of IL is that the honest and unof.
Tending industrial classes Of the country feel the
shock most heavily, which Is always the case.
But it likely that the Developments, the dread
fal consequences, the misery and the ruin which
the excuses of spectators, stockholders, lobby.

fashion, are bringing urop the whole American
people, viii be overlooked spd forgotten this
time! No. From this dark day benceforward,
until there shall be some permanent and secure
system for the regulation Of our currency aid
our commerce, this important subject win be the
paramount question in every section fthe Union,
and among all classes Of the people. The mig
ger agitation must give way to the superior issues
Of safe currency, sound credits, and solid and
permanent basis of security upon which all the
varied financial, commercial and business nte-
rests Of the country may repose.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania, In small
way, is endeayoring to provide temporary ale
Walton for the financial disorders which now 20
seriously afllict the people Of that State, with
the rest us. But no palliative in the shape of
bread and milk poultices will reach the scat of
the disease. Congress alone can reach it; and ia
this view, we look to the administration and TO
the next Congress for the practical agitation of
more important issues than niger distractions
or spoils and plumber. Let our worthy Presi-
dent prepare bis programme; the country will
look 10 him for the initiation Of the leading mea

past will readily suggest TO the cool, clear head

Our FINANCIAL EMBARRAssMENTs AND OUR
the pinch of our monetary embsrra@ments, but
they cannot hope to escape it. To Judge from
the appearance which they nightly present, one
would imagine that money was still circulating
freely amongst us The Opera, which has been
the only theatre to suffer, has been again crowded
for the last few nights; but this is only spasmo-
die and deceptive symptom The falling off in
the receipts last week were an unmistakable evi.
deuce of the prospects of the undertaking in the
critical circumstances in which the community
are placed. The revival Of the last few nights
was only such as usually marks the close of q
season. TIE production of "Don Giovanni" was
also an attractive item to be taken into the
account
The Opera will be dead failure this winter,
unless steps be taken by those Immediately in
e ested to redeem it from the stigma. When
establishments Of all kinds are reducing their
personnj and their expenses, the Opera cannot
exist as an exception to the rule. If the artists
engaged feel any interest in the speculation and
are averae to seeing it come to an abrupt termi-
nation, they will, like the Messrs. Chickering's
sagacious workmen come forward to the relief
of the management. As half loaf is
better than no bread, those who have made high
terms with the directors in the anticipation of an
unusually prosperous season, had better at once
offer to reduce their pretensions by one-half or
at least one.third This is the only way in which
the Opera can be carried safely over to the spring.
or which offers chance to the artists engaged to
obtain any portion of the salaries contracted for.
In the same spirit we would recommend the
first class performers at the other theatres to an.
ticpate the pinch that must soon make itself felt
in those establishments, and to make such ar
range ments with the managers as will relieve the
latter from the distressing necessity of closing
them altogether. This will be not only generous
but just, and will in the end prove the only wise
policy for all concerned. Opera singers aud
theatrical stars would do well to recolect that il
is their eagerness to engross all the profits Of
their own performances which gives occasion to
such frequent breaches of faith on the part Of
managers.

A SPLENDID CHANCE FOR New INVESTMENT
Out of regard for the numerous sufferers who
have gone their depth in the fancy railway secu-
rites and other bubbles Of the day, we call at
tenton to an advertisement which will be found
in our columns this morning, headed "Gold
Mines, Iron Works and Negroes for Sale"
Here is sale under mortgage Of the
property Of the High Shoals (Gaston
county, North Carolina) Manufacturing Com
pany,n embracing fifteen thousand acres Of
land, gold mines beds of iron ore, and sixteen
| negroes, "all but one fellows and mechanics"
We hope the quondam bulls in Wall street viii
not LET this opportunity slip to obtain some
salve for their fingers burned in the fire
of their late operations. Some of those black re-
publican philosophers who have been into every
thing and have been bitten every time, who have
sunk no end Of money in Kansas funds, Central
Railroad stock, lobby speculations at Albany
and Washington and fancy stock gambling Of all
sorts can now have an opportunity to retrieve
their fallen fortunes by an investment In some
real solid property, over which the Brokers'
Beard has 10 control. Think of IL, gentlemen.
Land gold mines, iron ore, water power and &C.
teen stout likely niggers-all mechanics, and
each worth nj leas, ,s'steen hundred dollars, with
a good margin for rise Nlggers are always
above par The Worcester philosopher and phi
lanthropist, Eli Thayer, ought also to look into
this matter. Here is better chance for him to
inves. bis money than In the waste lands of the
Virginia hlst families Let Mr.. Thayer and the
gored bulls joih together, buy the land, the gold
mines the iron ore and the niggcrs-don't forget
the nggers-take some of the Kansas funds to
set the thing going send out some broken down
stump orators TO work the mines, and they may
make money enough to get them of The shoals,
where they have been high and dry for some
time.
