LIGHT AT LAST,

at length the great mystery of the Japanese
/ entertainment is unvailed and the taxpayers OF
the city are gracously permitted BY Messrs.
, said to have gone
The grand total is not so stupendous as at first
fgur.d up in the Common Council by little
over 400. Originally the Committee of Re.
ception demah 6ed the modest sum Of $4,000 to
meet their disbn rsements. The public protested
against the outrage, and Committee was ap-
pointed to curtail tie charges. They succeeded
In squeezing the sum down TO $l05,OOO less
than " hich they declared they could not consci-
entousy 60. The public did net believe them,
but the Aldermen passed that appropriation. In
the Council Board however, gallant minority,
resisting en,rcatles, brides, aud Establishments
brayely stayed the cousuInUlatiOn of the swindIe.
After waiting months in the hope Of seducing
one Of the minority into voting to pass the appro
priatiOn lust week q concession was offered in
the shape OF further reduction of $4,000, max
ing the amount $50, coo; bat it did not succeed.
The items were demanded but pertnacioIsly
Withheld, and it really appeared as though the
LlDg NOUu not RcJ luIodBu tuIb yedT III dIl'
Last night, however, the Committee, in the
Board OF Aldermen, presented the itenls, which
We print elsewhere. They foot up to SS2,-
sz2 20.
Tie Committee carefully abstain from stating
the amount Of these bills, 50 originally presented;
perhaps il wa lot Convenient for them to do 80.
The MessIs. Leland take the largest sGce, claim
ipQ S6g,C6 %. From their bill we select few
choice particulars. For the board Of 20 rice
eating japanese, for 10 days they ask tho modest
sum Of Sl7,9l0 81, or about SIS head per
day, for princes and menals alike What
complication Of govt, liver complaint, and dys-
.epsa, these simple people must have brought on
themselves by consuming $l5 worth of Injuries
every "a hours. But if the Japanese we're lavish,
what must We say Of the three Naval Commis-

latter items are put upon the sumo liberal basis

bill of the Committee. we find that the Japanese
Ind $500 worth of secretaries, S3,65i 70 In
music $500 worth of steamboat, and 1923 10 in
printing and statonery-almost enough to set up
newspaper On carriages they were parl'cu-
larry hard, no less than So ,S5i 80 having been
ridden away.
The bills were ordered to be printed in the
minutes. We submit that they are altogether
too extravagant; some of the charges are exlor'
Tomato to the last degree. Still they are much
less than they were at first, and the process 'oi
reduction having been 80 successful thus far we
do not see why the Board of Councllmen' who
will have to act upon them soon, should not put
the screws of compression on little tighter. A
few times more will fetch them into something
Ike reasonable limits, say down to the S3O,OoO

MIR. wADE,s GREAT SPEECH.

The earnest attention of the whole public is
certain 10 be given to the speech which Mr..
Wade of Ohio delivered yesterday in the Senate,
and of which a full report is given on another
page of this paper. Its calm, luminous, and
authoritative statement Of the principles and pur-
poses Of the Republican party, it's exhaustive
defense of that party against the calumnies which
have been circulated here in the North, and have
thence caused alarm and excitement throughout
the Southern States, its powerful common sense,
its elevated patriotism, its 6rmness and its mod
Grafton its courage and its wisdom, all combine
to impress this speech with the Importance
of great public event, and to make it, as it
were, the starting point of new era in our cur
rent history. Those who have begun to despair
of the Republic may gather fresh faith from the
words of the ONO Senator. 1t is especially
cheering in view Of the weak completely of tho
Administration in the REASONABLE schemes that
are now plotting on all hands, and amid the
crumbline ruins of the so.called Democracy and
of the Democratic Executive, to see the Republi-
can leaders standing firm and immOyable up
holding at once the Constitution, the Rights OF
the States and the sacred principles of Liberty,
without which free government is a delusion, aud
popular institutions farce aud q mockery.

NIBLo's GARDES.-Last night, at this house, Mr..
Forrest made his first appearance as Richard Ill.
The piece is put the stage with the regard to
scenic prophecies that has made commendabe all the
Efforts Of the stage manager during the present
season.
The Richard Of Mr.. FORFEIT does not differ materially
from his performance Of the character four years
ugo, aud now then there is personation of his
devoid Of merit no thoroughly unsatisfactory 10 every
part, IA his Richard.
The buckingham Of Mr.. Fisher, tho Richmond OF
Mr. Conway, the Catesby of Mr. Harkins, together
with the two ladies Of the DRAMA enac,el by Madame
Poui,i and Mrs. Conway, are worthy Of high praise.
The LousO was well filed.

1t ought to be thoroughly understood thai the
Pine street meeting of Saturday was not intend
ed to preserve the Union, but to help the cause
Of the Revolutiouists who are engaged in destroy
ing il. This was the whole tenor of the speech
made by Blr. OCOnor, who presided, and who
proposed in substance that Slavery should be es-
tablished in oil the Free States, or else that the
Union should be broken up. But the character
of the meeting is indicated by another circum-
stance even more plainly than BY its proceed
ings. The person most active in getting it
up was Mr. Richard Lathers. Mr.. l.. is South
CargliniaD, and in letter recently written by
him to gentlemen in that State. makes the fol-
lowing significant statement:
Ireeeiyed my military commission from the larnented
CoyeIbr Butler aud email always ready respond
call bic should the State ueed Ler 10 aid
in the dtfeLte of her soil"
In other words, Mr. Lathers is ut heart q
traitor to the Government of the country, and is
under engagements TO join South Carolina in her
threatened rebellion. Is this Just the right sort
Of man to head Union meetings in New-York!
