Miss Carl0tta Pattfs

Our readers will certainly all be pleased to
learn that Miss Carlotta Patti will sing once
mere in Washington before leaving. By unan.
nous request, she has been solicited to remain
and will accordingly sing on next Thursday
night IN The Baptist Church on Tenth street.
Miss CxrlottA Patti is indisputably the first
singerAn concerts in Amerios ut preaent. Few
have ever visited our shores who compare with
her In intrinsio vocal merit. Her beautiful rem.
ditions Of Lind and Sontag's concert gems, have
never placed her, in the estimation OF the
American public, one iota below those idolized
personxges.
A claim upon the gratitude Of the opera.lov.
Ing public Of our country Is her having given
character to the beautiful melodies Of her sis.
ter, Miss Adefina Patti. She was her teacher,
and the first to school in this country, and send
to Europe, what we have hitherto sent there to
obtain.
The programme for tomorrow evening Is a
nne one, containing selections from the best
operas Of Verdi and Bellini. The Soldiers Fare.
we'll and the Star. .Spangled Banner are the most
popular songs that she could favor an audience
Just now with.
The house last night was crowded, and we
would advise those who wish seats to secure
them In advance, as Miss Patti cannot again
sing here.
She will be aided on this occasion by Sig.
Soda, Big. Centimeri, Henry Sanderson, and T.
Rchrensr; and we do not think there will be as
rich treat again this winter.

Yesterday, after the transaction Of some
bustuess ~ minor. importance in this court,
Col. Blount began his closing argument for the
petitioners In the Barney case. He frst con.
tended that the Iowa decree was Just and
valid, and that this court could not 60 behind
Iowa had the right to grant divorce, and
that such divorce must be respected by all
other courts. He also quoted the will OF the
late Edward De Kraft to show that no part OF
the estate could ever 60 to the husband whom
his daughter might marry; and went on TO as.
sert that Lieut.. Barney had squandered nearly
$20, 900 OF money left 10 Mrs. Barney by her
father,when he had no right to touch anything
but the interest on 1t.
Col. B. then went on to criticise the evidence
which had been offered In the Case, referring
to the fact that the only witnesses who had
endeRvored to impugn the testimony Of the
French nurse, Alexandrins Parfait, were the
mother and sister of Lieut.. Barney, both In.
terested parties. He also expressed u desire
that the little boy, Edward De Kraft Barney,
who had been summoned by the other side
but who had not yet been examined, might now
be examined.
Mr.. Winder, for the respondent, stated that
he had no objection whatever Il the witness
being brought forward at this stage OF the pro.
ceediDgs and examined, II 1t was the wish of
the other side, and would not call any other
witness afterwards.
The court stated that II would be willing TO
hear any witness the counsel might insist up.
on, but thought that, as the case had already
cluded as speedily " possible.
II 10 probable, therefore, that Eddie Barney
will be examined to-day.
Without concluding his argument, Colon el
Blount suspended his remarks, and the court
adjourned until this morning.
