A NEW OPER,TIc SEAsoN.--We have the an
nouncement Of new operate season at the
Academy, under the management of Mr.
Strakosch. The season is TO commence on Mon
day next, and 10 continue during twelve nights.
We think this announcement is the very best
proof Of Mr.. Strakoechs success in his first sea-
SON as he pays all his bills 'and is not likely to
throw away any money. His direction of the
Opera was liberal, and at the same time he
stopped the leaks through which the cash Of his
predecessors oozed away We have before al
luded to the system of advertising introduced
by Mr.. Strakosch during his first season. His
plan was TO advertise in the Three leading morn
ing papers, having confessedly the undivided
attention of the public; also in a French and
German paper. That plan was strictly followed
except in one or two cases of cbarity-and the
manager was assailed with the most gross person

industriously to work for an extension Of this OF
that patent monopoly, equivalent to millions .
dollars in taxation upon the mechanical industry
Of the country. At this juncture, the New
YORK HERALD, as in the Galphin and Gardner
cases, raised the note of alarm; and in obedience
to public opinion, Committee of Inquiry was
appointed concerning the lobby appliances used
in behalf of the Colt pistol patent extension
The results were beautifully illustrative Of the
rapid progress of the lobby under the auspices Of
poor Pierce, and with all the modern improve
ments" from New York and Albany
The Nebraska bill next, resulting in the elec-
ton of Northern republican Congress in 1854
brought down upon Washington the most for
midable, experienced, INSCRIPTIONS and the best
appointed lobby army Of all. 1t was the Albany
lobby, with all its equipments and wire-workers
transferred to Washington. 1t was the transfer
of the camp followers and vultures of the Sc
ward party, with the transfer of their centre of
power to Congress. Hence the unprecedented
Sbby operations OF the last two or three sessions
of Congress-hence the enormous schemes of
lobby spoliation which, from time to time, we
nave CAposSu w eiiC POOPAS~AChSS Jul SdupatSh
of this session against this Seward black republi-
can epoils lobby, resulting in this Committee of
Investigation, and in the astounding rascalities
they have detected
From its revolving origin over the dead body
Of counterfeit Morgan, through all its subse
quent phases of demagoguism and deception,
this thing of Sewardism has been at least con-
sistent in its lobby operations for the spoils.
The members of Congress indicted by this House
Committee are of the Seward republican school,
disciples of the model Seward lobby Institution
at Albany. They belong to that class of lovers
of freedom who are outraged at the public sale
of a niger, but who all the while are engaged
in the buying and selling Of white men on the
most easy terms. We see, too, that such pinks
and patterns of Fourierite philosophy or paper
shaving and stockjobbing morality as the New
York Tribune and Times, are pretty extensively
mixed up with these lobby disclosures.
Altogether, the Developments of this commit
tee on lobby corTuptions are calculated to con-
firm the suspicion that Sewardism is a deception,
a trick, a cheat, a counterfeit Morgan, from be-
ginning to end-a party conspiracy for quilting
the public and for obtaining the public money
upon false pIetences-a base political mposture,
and nothing more.
