THE GREAT OPERArIc REvIvAI,--BARSUx on
HIS LEGS AGAN--ln another part Of to-day's
paper we give sketch of the splendid Opera
scheme of which the Chevalier Barnum is the
grand Field Marshal. Barnum, We may say,
without the slightest reference to the fire annihi
lator, is the modern Phoenix, and like that
famous fowl he has risen from his ashes more
resplendent than ever. He has, we are told,
arranged matters with his creditors, and Is again
prepared TO astonish the world. He stands
forth as the prince Of charlatans he has raised
the business of humbugging the public to the
dignity of one of Che fine arts and has made
the title Of charlatan equal TO patent Of nobili-
ty. Banum has latterly been under a cloud,
but genius like his could not be crushed Like
an India rubber ball the more Barnum Is knock
ed about the higher he bounds
In the grand operate speculstlon--the de-
tails of which he il now arranging -Barnum's
ideas are Of the most expansive, progressive
and magnificent order. He assumes the position
Of great public benefactor, philosopher, fnan-
cier and philanthropia. II is expected that his
Importation OF q great army Of operate and
ballet divinities, will create greater stir here
than even the campaigns of Jenny Lind, Fanny
Ellsler or Rachel. II will set the people going
create fmore-revive the dry goods trade
increase the imports Of jewelry, kid gloves and
other luxurics-set the specie flowing increase
the bank dividends initiate stocks and expand
crinoline. IL will revive the railways,
by the extra receipts from thousands of
travellers who will come here to see
The great musical and Terpsichorean
festivals, the equal of which has never been
seen in this country, and which even awakens
the enthusiasm of the blast and broken down
aristocracy Of the European capitals 1t is then
the Chevalier Barnum, who will, with his i'rims
donne, his tenors, bartones, bassos and his fid-
dlers inaugurate the real revival OF trade;
carry good tidings into Wall street and the
Broadway bazaars; help Mr.. Cobb 70 pay off
our national debt and Gil up the empty public
Golfers. The genius Of Barnum finds the philoso-
pher's stone In the voice of Mademoiselle Picco-
lomini. This enterprise Of Barnum, Lumley,
wikoff. Ullman 4 Co. is one of the most surpris-
ing, startling, magnificent and interesting of the
century; interesting alike TO the political, com
mercial, financial fashionable, artistic and thea
trical world. All sort of schemes have been pro-
posed toreform The currency and ezsrlcate usfsom

OFFERING THE OTHER CHEEK-It will be
seen by the account Of the ball given at the
British Consulate in honor Of Queen victoria's
birthday, that whilst the most unjustilable in
suits are offered to our Gag on the high seas by
her Maiesty's cruisers, the most strenuous
efforts are being made by her representatives
here to keep up friendly appearances The
kind word and the blow not unfrequently keep
company, and the American temper Ia, we pre-.
sumo, hkened to that Of the spaniel
which can be made to endure good deal by
means of little caressing. II is astonishing
how easily some Of our citizens fall into the old
diplomatic trap Of good dinners and suppera
Notwithstanding the just causes Of complaint
that we have against British doings, we find
these loyal anniversaries attended by large
proportion Of Americans, intent upon maintain
ing the entente oordiaie in spite Of all provocs-
tons. The spirit of Christian charity and for
bearance Is exercised by them TO such degree
Chat a friendly invitation or q good bottle Of
wine will wipe out the sense of almost any In
jury. Even our worthy Mayor deems II incum.

TIE FLORIDA INDtANs-A NICE SPECULATION
SPonED.-Read the suggestive and instructive
letter which we publish to-day on the subject
of the Florida Indians Those Indians to
large horde of spoilsmen and Spectators, have
been as fruitful as California gold mine ever
since Van Buren's administration. We dare say
that from the year 1887, the aggregate expenses
OF the government on account of those Indians
"a few huHdreds in number, all tOld-have
amounted to the handsome figure Of at least
sixty millions Of dollars Our present well in
formed correspondent on the subject assures us
that the expenses Of s'the war;" as late as two
weeks ago, amounted to thirty thousand dollars
a day, although there were only thirty In
dams remaining in Florida, all told. Each
Iudian, therefore, requires an expenditure of a
thousand dollars day, which is very good
speculation In securing the removal of Billy
Bowlegs, however, the spoilsmen and specula-
tors concerned killed the goose that laid the
golden eggs. Had they managed the matter a
little more shrewdly, they might have kept Billy
in the field for at least year or two longer.
They might have bribed him, and helped him to
dodge about in the bushes; but they called upon
the administration, and the administration has
ruined their Indian business entirely.
We can now discover that these frontier
spectators, contractors and lobby jobbers
are at the bottom of all these Indian wars;
and, if the facts were all known, it would doubt
less appear that these intriguing outside spoils-
men have had long finger in the pie of the
Mormon rebellion. Claims from the patriotic
citizens of Oregon, on account of their Indian
wars, are now lying before Congress-, to the ex-
tent, we believe, of about five millions of dol
lars and we do not suppose that there will ever
be an end to the indemnities called for, and to
be called for, on account of the Indian wars, in
cursions, &C., in Texas, New Mexico and Cali
fornia In this view, it would be the cheapest
policy, by long shot, for the government to
maintain in the midst of all our disaffected and
wild Indian tribes, sufficient standing army
force to maintain order and to stop the depreda-
tions of these treasury robbers, in the shape OF
| frontier white spectators aud manufacturers to
| order of Indian wars.

IMPORTANT MEETINGS OF THE MAYORS CABI-
NEr.-The Mayor undertook, few weeks ago,
to form kind of Cabinet Council of the heads
of the departments, for the alleged purpose of
reforming the government Of the city. They
had meeting, at which they agreed to meet
again. They did so meet again, did nothing,
and agreed to meet again yesterday for the
same purpose, and they carried that purpose
out to the letter. They held their third meet
ing yesterday with precisely similar result as
the former ones. We are progressing decidedly
towards reform!

this transfer of the Albany lobby TO Washing
ton, and its regular organization there as the
third estate in the government, il the fact
that its chief managers, agents and in
struments, from Mr.. Seward down to
the tariff pamphleteer of the Journal Of
Commerce, are either the disciples of our North
ern anti-slavery, antirum or social reform socie-
ties, OF sanity Puritans, who walk the streets
like the Pharisee of old, publicly thanking God
that they are better than other men The young
and thrifty State Of Wisconsin has large in
fusion Of these Northern elements Of purity in
her body social and polite. She is blest with
an anti-slavery State government, with model
Liquor laws and with various other straight
laced Puritanical institutions; and yet she has
Just given us one Of the most stupondous exam
pies Of lobby bribery and buying and selling
which this epoch Of official corruption and de-
moTslization can furnish.
The railroad company which in this case
bought up the anti-slavery, anti-rum and Puri-
tanical Legislature of Wisconsin has shown, on
a large scale, what the soft appliances of the
lobby may accomplish with our Niger worship
ping philaDthropists and Puritanical reformers
everywhere else. They all belong to the same
school Of INSCRIPTIONS demagogues, hypocriti-
cal pretenders and scheming lobby mongcrs.
All taken together, from Massachusetts, to Kan
sas, they constitute the inside machinery Of the
Seward party and the Seward movement for the
spoils and plumber of the Presidency.
With this extensive and rapacious horde OF
public plunderers at his back, Mr.. Seward, II
elected for the succession, would be very apt, in
the first year of bis administration, TO give us
an example of the capacities Of the Washington
lobby for spoils and spolations OF which no
man has had any conception. The public lands
would be swallowed up by railroad jobbers, and
the public treasury and credit would be taxed
10 their uttermost tension to satisfy the splendid
steamship and army and navy projects and
river and harbor improvements of the swarms
Of lobby men and women that would be mus
