THE BURLRsGUE OPERA.-We dropped in
at the Opera House to hear the music about
quarter past nine last night-Mrs. Alamode
assures us that nine o'clock is early enough
for the opera. The largest man, and the
smallest boy in the city was there,an every
living thing, in the shape of humanity,
between the two were packed all round
We had hardly got thus far in our observa-
lions when a tall and rather good looking
young gentleman stepped to the footlights,
made an exceedingly polite bow, land launch
ed forth in kind of bird like succession of
notes which filled the auditorium with msl-
ody, and the auditors with delight. The
violin solo gave evidence of superiour must
cal ability, wonderful manipulation of the
bow, and perfect ease and grace in the per-
former, who was fully entitled to the round
of applause which followed his exit.
This exit left US few minutes to observe
that the Dress Circle was filled with the elite
and beau monde of the city, who appeared
to be in perfect state of beautitude. We
observed also that numerous bright eyed
asmsels shaded their visual orbs with that
happy institution known among opera goers
as Lorenstte.
The opera which closed the evenings en-
tertainmeat was most excellently rendered,
though lacking in interest when compared
with the burlesque of the evening before
The singing, however, was good, and the
audience left we'll pleased.
We congratulate our citizens on the pres
,snce of so much talent, and most heartily
commend the entertainment as perfectly po-
lite, chaste, and unobjectional to the most
fastidieus, and, SO far as we can judge, unex-
.ceptional to good taste and refinement.
The programme for this evening is rich
and attractive, and, weather permitting,
will fill the house to overlooking.

LADY PAssENGERs.-Gallant inside of
passenger coach is something rarely if ever
heard of, while>stolid indifference or queru-
lous compliance have taken its place, when
lady to be seated is in the question. We
have looked with pain and disgust upon ex-
ampes of this tacit rudeness, and il ever the
spirit of damaging our right boot was awak.
ened within our usually docie bosom, it was
on such occasions. That men should mon
opolize the best or all the seats in car, and
insist upon retaining them, upon the miser-
able pretext that they had paid for them,
VIII lie ladies are forced to stand OF crowd
themselves into indifferent seats, is not only
stigma upon mere galantry, but disgrace
to civilization. When such examples pup
pyism occur, the instance on every occasion
should be recorded, and if possible the
names OF the brutss so offending, published
for the benefit of the million. So says an
Exchange.
To REMEDY OFFENSIVE BREATH.-FOr this
should be admitted to the toilette, is the con-
centrated solu ton of chloride of soda. From
six to ten drops Of it in a wine glassful of
pure spring water, taken Immediately after
the operations of the morning are complet-
ed. In some cases, the odor arising frow
carous teeth is combined with that of the
stomach. If the mouth be we'll rinsed with a
teaspoonful of the solution of tbe chloride in
tumbler of water, the bad odor OF the teeth
will be removed.
THOUGHTS ABOUT BUILDINGS. The rapid
approach Of warm weather, brings 60 mind
many suggestions in reference to arrange
ments in the construction of dwell lings. ANY
way by which we may temper the intense
amount as respects not only comfort, but
health. The first and most obvious rehec-
lions on this connection relates to ventla-
ton. Houses are often so constructed that
no air can find its way into any of the rooms.
The whole remedy for this is a right loca-
ton of windows and doors, which should be
so placed with reference to each other that
draft of air may be had through the house
with the wind in any direction. 1t is par
ticularly needful to see to it so as to secure
the draft at all evehts.when the wind is south
or southwest. The wind brings sufocating
heat which with all the air we can get is
barely endurable, but which without drop
of air is like the air of heated oven with
the oven lid closed. A north wind will find
its way into the house at all events The
east wind should also be afforded a passage
through the house, since it often blows
while the sun is intensely hot, and serves
to brace the system so as to make the time
of its prevalence within doors, eminently
pleasant.

Mayors Court, NORFOLK, F. F Ferg"-

The first case on the docket yesterday was
peace warrant which ad been gotten out
by young, pretty, and rather interesting
looking lady against her husband. ltsap
peared that they had agreed to disagree,
and had lived apart for year or more. 1t
further appeared that she had had him
bound over for twelve months, which bond
he had faithfully kept, and which, in the
opinion of many present, he would continue
to keep although it was out of date; the
lady thought otherwise, and insisted that
she was afraid he would do her some bodily
harm, particularly as he had been seen in
the neighborhood of her present residence.
This fact was not denied, but it appeared
that the young man bad been up to see bis
children Tho lady was then requested to
withdraw the petition for new bond, but
she was memorable, and the Mayor was
compelled to require the young man to
give security to keep the peace towards eve
rybody ia general, and his wife in particu
lar
Two negro boys, Bob, slave of VIM Ward,
aud john, slave of Eli Cutherell, were ar
ranged on a charge OF fighting in the Mar
ket House. The charge was not sustained,
and the boys were discharged with an ad-
monition.
A gentleman who had gone security on
peace warrant for a third party, came up to
inform the Mayor that he wanted to with
draw. The Mayor informed him that he
must bring the party up to him before he
could entertain the proposition. The gen
tleman left for the purpose of finding the
delinquent, and all business being over we
withdrew.
TC-DAY.-One gentleman from Princess.
Anne, was fined So for being under the in
tuence of liquor; and another from ireland,

The Louisville journal, the organ of the
new Constitutional Union pprty in its Sec
ton of the country, iercely denounces the
late letter OF Mr.. Bates defining his position
on the slavery question. 1t says that his
further support by the conservative opposi.
tion as candidate for the Presidency is ou,
of the question, and that he will be most
emphaticaIIy repudiated by the Baltimore
Convention. AS to Mr.. Bates chances for
getting the Chicago nomination, the Journal
says:
We believe that his chances for the Chi
csgo nomination are at this moment slen
derer than ever and that they will grow
regularly slenderer until they vanish into
nothing. He can command no votes outside
of the Republican party, and can't command
all the votes in it.
This is plain. AS mere Republican he
Is unquestionably weaker than any one of a
dozen or two others, and he has voluntarily
sacrificed whatever conservative strength be
possessed. The truth is, Mr.. Bates has des
troyed the Only real claim to the Chicago
nomination that he ever pretended 10 have,
or that his friends ever set up in his name.
In putting his Repubicanism beyond re-.
proech he has sunk himself to the vulgar
herd. He hes purchased membership in the
Republican psrty at the cost of all title to
its leadership. So far as the Presidential
aspiratlons OF MIR. Bates are concerned, the
step is q suicidal one.

High Priests and Officials. Part of tho
family of Joe Smith were in attendance, &C.
cordlng to an announcement heretofore
made Young Smith was inducted into the
cttice as President of the High Priests.

they can induce Young "Joe" to assume the

Utah. Throughout thu proceedings, and
in the course Of private conversation, Young
and his counselors were denounced as hav.

The People arc Arising.

The recent elections in the North and
Northwest--Stat as we'll as Municipal--
indicate that the people are heartily tired of
anti.slavery agitation, and that they mean
to put speedy end to it.
The friends of the Constitution have glo.
riously trumphed over its enemies in Rhode
Island. and have almost as good-quite so,
as far as the result in November is involved
as carried Connecticut; while municipal
elections in New York, Wisconsin,, Ohio,
Maine, and elsewhere, furnish satisfactory
evidence that we have much to hopa for the
redemption of each of those States.
All that we reqeire for the achievement
OF more glorious victory in November than
that of 1856, is perfect union in our ranks.
This va are sure of before the close of next

The bill to suppress polygamy in Utah
hes already passed the House, and very prob.
ably will be pissed by the Senate. An at.
tempt is being made to make political capi.
tai cut Of the action Of Congress on the
ground that poygamy is "domestic inst.
tuition" among the Mormons, similar in
character to slavery in the Southern States,
and that, there fore, according to the doc.
trines of popular sovereignty, Congress has
no right TO interfere with it. There is all
the difference in the world between the two
subjects. The one is an admitted crime
against the laws of God and man-an out.
rage against moraIiy-und contrary to we'll
established natural laws. The other is a
domestic institution, subject to the policy OF
the people among whom it exists. PoIyga.
my, like horse stealing, is a proper subject
OF punishment by law. 1t is one of the
crimes forbidden by the decaIogue, and that
we take to be the basis Of all law in Chris
tan ard civilized countries.
We do not think Congress is body vel
designed to set up as Moral Reform Socie
ty. It is heavy, blundering body, as this
very Utah bill, Whilh has passed the House
proves, for by implication, it permits polyga

ner in which it has gone to work on the
question Of polygamy is itself b'under.-
Who is to execute the law if it should be
passed. A Mormon must be tried by jury.
No power con try him for any crime in any
other way, and will O Mormon jury convic,

and murder cannot be executed in Utah, ond
will that against polygomy be more easily
enforced!
The truth is, that this act, like Covode's
Committee, is intended for political effect
The ebominable preclice Of polygamy can
not be suppressed by laws of Congress any

More Democratic Victories.

The municipal elections in all parts of the
country are resulting in a series Of brilliant
and encouraging Democratic victories, the
import of which is not to be mistaken. The
Democracy of Hartford, Conn, on Monday

election.
At the charter election in Albany, N Y,
on Tuesday, the Democracy elected their
entire City ticket.
In Trenton, N. j., on Tuesday, the De.
mocrats won glorious victory, re electing
franklin S. Mills to the MayoraIiy, by a
majority Of 39l and Democratic Recorder
Marshal, Oyerseer, Freeholders, and Sur
veyors.
At the municipal election in St. Paul
Min, on the 81 instant, the Democrats elect
ed their entire city ticket two of four Alder
men, majority of the School Board, an:
four of the five County Commissioners.-
