OPERA PEOPLE AT IoGGERHEADs.-The Boston
Atlas reports the arrest of ulmann and Strakoseh,
managers Of the Italian Opera troupe now per
forming in that city, at the suit of NJ me Gaz2anga
The Atlas says 1t appears that after the failure
of some of the European artists, either through
sickness or inefieieney, the managers, hoping to
retrieve their losses in New York, entered into a
contract with Nine Gazzaniga. She was engaged,
they asserted, more upon past reputation than
any positive knowledge of her present capacity to
fulfill the duties belonging to farlnaa donna dsso-
tuta. For her services she asked the sum of 5000
per month. The managers took the risk and tried
the experiment. 1t failed from the beginning
Either through ncapacity of voice or from lack Of
novelty and attraction, it is asserted that Nina
Gazzauiga has not in New York, Philadelphia or
Boston, i'll either performance in which She has
been the prima donna, proved sufficiently aftrac.
tive to render the receipts equal to the expeaees'
Madame Gazzaniga publishes the following card
in relation 10 these difficulties:

that her contract in writing with Messrs Stpakosch
and ullman OF the Opera Troupe, will not expire

IA A correspondent of the Petersburg Express
states the ground of difference between the Rail-
road companies and the Department to be as fol-
lows:
at seems that they the Roads, have been car
rying a daily mail for sl00 per mile, and now the
Department wants them to carry two mails per
day for the same price, which they refuse to do,
but are willing TO do so, (that is, carry two mails
per day) for $3.50 per mile. The Department re-
fuses to pay that sum, and the Roads refuse to
carry the mail. Thus they stand"
The above is an entire Misrepresentation. The
Department docs not require the Railroads to carry
two mails per day. 1t is willing to continue to
give the Roads s10O per mile for carrying one
mail day-but the Department has no authority
to increase either the mails the pay. If the
Roads cannot get two mails per day, it is no rea-
son why they should refuse to carry one, and thus
cause the citizens along the lines great incon-
venience.
The Chester Standard makes the following SEN
sible remarks with regard to the difficulty:
aft we are rightly informed, the Roads are clas-
sifed according to The quantity OF mail they trans
port, and if the Charlotte and S. C. Road carries
only sufficient quantity Of mail to be cassed as
third rate road, it is wrong for it to demand the
wages of first or second rate road, which carries
double or treble it's quantity of mail. We hope,
however, that the matter may be compromised or
settled in way, care little how, so We con-
tnue to have daily mall
The High Point Reporter says: We presume
that in view of the facts stated in the letter of Mr.
Holt the Directories of the several roads will con-
ceiye it to be a duty they owe to the sections
through which their roads run, to recede from the
position taken and continue the mails at the former
rates.
THE MAILs.-It is no more than we expected
to the Raleigh Register attempting to turn the
temporary suspension of the mails into political
hue and cry against the Administration and against
the Department We expe cted this, for it is an
old maxim and a true one, that party without
principles Of its own will be sure to find fault with
the principles and actions of all other parties" and
our neighbor, the Register is not an exception by
any means, to the maxim.
It is not to be denied that great Inconvenience
has been the result of the stoppace Of the mails;
but we do not see how any blame can be attributed
to the Department. The second Assistant Post
Master General, the Hon. ". III. Dundas, has act
ed in accordance with the spirit of reform of which
we have heard so much recently, both in Congress
and out of it. The rail roads raised their prices
for carrying the nails the Department refused to
give the rates demanded, urging as reason why
it would be imprudent to do so, that if the pay to
the r. & G, n c., and South Carolina roads was
increased, other roads would Immediately strike
for higher prices and the Government would thus
have to pay about third more for carrying the
mals.-Raleigh Press.

USGENERous-Opposition papers in the State, ever
ready to catch up anything that win make little capt.
tai for their party, engaged in abusing the demo-
cratic party for the late difficulty about carrying the
mails the Railroads. The democratic party is
to blame for the of the Railroad Presidents
than it is for the conduct of the Emperor of Russia.
We have not brought politics into the matter, but some
of the opposition endeavoring to do 1t has
been but few days since tkese opposition papers
were denouncng the administration at Washington for
spending too much money; they denouncing it
for not paying higher wages and for not doing
thing it has authority to do We ask the people to
remember such Inconsistency.
The Asheville Advocate is mistaken in saying that
all three of the Presidents democrats. But that
makes difference-politics has nothing to do with
the matter We have always admired the ability and
zeal with which the Presidents have managed their
roads, and even defended them when attacked But
we shall not and cannot justify them in stopping the
mails
