support, they are reoresnt to the trust which
copfdiDg States have reposed in them, un-
worthy of the Senatorial positions they oc-
cupy, and false to their dnty as citizens of the
first republic Of the earth. Let the people
prepare to visit them with that condemnation
which PERSISTENCE, at Richmond and Baltimore,
in their insane quarrels will richly entitle them
TO.
FASHIONABLE ADJUSTMENTS LAST OPERA
SEAsoN.-The shortest Opera season that we re-
member was one undertaken by Signor Morelli,
whose career as an impresario was, il we are
not mistaken, limited to one night Signor
Servadio, who succeeded ON Monday to the
throne temporarily vacated by the little Ma
poleon of Irving place, comes next to Morelli
Servadio gave three performances in the even
ing and one in the morning, with troupe
which has rarely been equslled on this side OF
the Atlantic. But, although the new ma.
nsger's campaign was short, 1t was
not disastrous nor inglorious. He made
serious mistake in the beginning of it.
His company had returned from an extended
tour In Cuba, from which tempting isle came
puffs for the artist as fragrant Is the breezee
which flow from orange groves and other nice
tropical things. The prima donna, Contest, We
knew deserved all that her chocolate colored
admirers said of her; but one of the
great attractions of the troupe was q tenor
with wonderful high note, which was to as.
tonish the Manhattanese as they had never be-
stocks-not at all reliable. Agood many have
school without voice; others voice without
school; third class have both, but are
spoiled by loose living. So We wait
calmly for the new tenor, and In his
case do not accept ST. Paul's definition of
faith. Our doubts are not at all removed
when we find that the company, Cortesi
Musiani ut de poitrine, and all has gone Off to
Boston, where there Is IA campaign Of one week,
preliminary to the metropolitan season. This
looks as II the manager had not the pluck to COM
mence in Irving place, and 30 commenced as
Caesar, in an Oriental village, chiefly inhabited
BY political fossils, writer's for the Atlantic
Monthly and astronomers. The modern Ath@-
ians went into state Of excitement bordering
upon insanity about the Opera, but that did not
prove anything. They would make as much
fuss over the Count Joannes or one of Old Abe's
rails.
When the company came to New York, how
ever, it was ascertained that 1t was most adm-
rably constituted. The two prime dome, Cor.
test and Miss Phillips, are both worthy the
high position they hold here. Musiani, the
tenor has gained more popularity than any
other tenor Of the robust school, and his Ia
alt, has astonished everybody. SusIni, Amodio,
Sbriglia and Tamaro, with Muzio as conductor
complete the personnel Of the company, which
has had the greatest artistic, II not the most
Aattering pecuniAry success. We have rarely
seen our people so pleasursbly excited as by
the performances Of this company and the
manager may well be proud Of his artists.
Now everybody is asking wby the Opera
stops when It is 30 good. We understand that
the suspension Of the season Is only tempora.
~, and to prepare for the grand Japanese matt
lee, announced for next Saturday, and that,
after the matinee, at which the crush o, crino-
line may be imagined but scarcely described,
there is to be short season with still stronger
company, Colson and Frezzolini being added
to the list-a combination of fine artist such "a
canno. be celledanywhere. As the city will
be full Of strangers all summer, we see no rea-
con why the Opera should not be continued a
month. The Opera Is the fashionable amuse-
ment Of the day, and the Academy one OF the
leading institutions. Mr.. Servadio will End 1t TO
his advantage to give the provincisls who
come to see the japanese and the Great Eastern
some fret olsss performances. The ladies Will
pray for him without ceasing.
