THE NATIONAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
1t will be remembered Says Baltimore Republican,
that some two years since the excellent management
of the National Monument testimonial was usurped
by gang Of resident rowdy Know Nothings at Wash
ington. stone for the structure presented by the
Pope of Rome was destroyed by them, and the
work of prosecuting and finishing the monument
was to be exclusively in the hands of the secret
order. OF course the honorable sense of the coun-
try has revolted at gross imposture which has
done nothing for the enterprise but much doubtless
in the way of pocket money for itinerant X n soli
citors Even the special organ of rowdyism in this
city admits the reception Of several communications
n reference to the Board of Managers Of the Wash
ington Monument charging corruption in the dis
position of the funds collected and complaining Of
other grievances" Of course this wretched organ
of gross bigotry will not publish what would ex-
pose the rascality of its pretentious confederates
nor do we know that it is a matter of much impor-
tance since that the public mind pretty thorough
ly made up the VIGOROUSLY corrupt character of
very large proportion of the designing tricksters and
re-workers, who, under pretenoe of great pat
rotism have, it seems, ''put penny in the urn of
charity and taken a shilling out"
1t is most sincerely to be hoped that the K. n.
managers at Washington, who have brought by their
imposture and usurpation such dire disaste upon a
sublime testimonial to the father of his country,
will abandon their designs, and give the whole con-
troll once more into honest and reputable hands

THE Play ACToR's ExCUsE.-One evening when
Pizarro was announced as the play, there was con-
siderable delay in commencing, in consequence of
one Of the performers being absent. The audience
became impatient, when John Kemble, Rolla, came
forward and delivered himself to this effect:
'Ladies and gentlemen, at the request of the prin-
cipal performers in the play Of this evening" am to
inform you that the absent person is Mr.. Emery.
The house received this explanation without any
disapprobation or otherwise. Emery, at this peri
3D. although very pathetic actor, had not arrived
at the summit of excellence, and this evening the
part of the sentinel was given to him Scarcely had
Mr. Kemble quilted the stage when, dressed in
great coat dirty boots face red with perspiratOn
ON rushed the culprit. Emery stayed some mo-
ments before the audience, apparently agitated and
at length delivered himself to this effect:
"Lades and gentlemen, this is the first time 1
have ever had to appear before you as an apoogist
As have been the cause of the delay of your enter
tainment, allow shortly to offer my excuse, when
l am sure, 1 shall obtain acquittal, especially
from the fair portion of this brilliant audience La
dies-fcr you Unjust particularly address-my wife
and I-thunders of applause interrupted the apol-
ogy-and ran for the doctorW
you've said enough" exclaimed a thousand
tongues
u could not leave her, ladies, until knew that
she was safe.
'Bravo, Emery! You've said enough" was re-
echoed from all parts of the house. Emery was
completely overpowered, and after making another
Intellectual attempt to proceed, retired, having first
put his hand on his heart and bowed gracefully to all
parts ofthe house. The play proceeded without in
terruption but it appeared Emery had not forgotten
his obligation to Kembe, for in that scene before the
prison. in which Rola tries to corrupt the sentinel
by money, the following strange interruption occur
red in the dialogue;
Rolla-Have you wife
Sentinel have.
Rolla-Children?
Sentinel--Ih had two this morning. have got three
now.
Loud applause followed this retaliation, and it
continued so long that the entire effect of this scene
was lost, and Mr.. Kemble after walking some time
in awkward confusion, terminated it by abruptly
rushing into the prison.

The crowds jostling each other progressed but
bers were carried by the besiegers. Once in the
citadel however, sad havoc was committed on the
destructibes but it did not require long for 5000
persons to despatch the ample provision for their
entertainment. The return to the halls was soon
effected and we learn that the gray Of the morning
found lingering dancers still keeping time to the
music.
The display was grand one, highly honorable to
the social character aud public spirit Of the bOspi
table hosts and their delighted guests.
These beautiful private and public compliments to
the profession created the most lively satisfaction in
view the very handsome evidence they presented Of
the appreciation by the ladies of their medical
attendants Long may the ladies of Nashville re-
ceiye and enjoy their respect and esteem.
