But look at tho list in another part OF this

come
President Lincolm's visit 60 New York,
Opening or the spring Campaigns.
1t is currently reported that President Lincoln
will visit New York shortly. We hope that this
report is we'll founded. The President has had
very hard work at Washington with the hordes
Of Office seekers, and contractors, and Congress
men, and other such Troublesome fellows, and
really needs relaxation. Let him come ons
then, and bring Mrs. Lincoln and Secretary
Seward along with him. Secretaries Chase and
Welies have just been here, and were received
and treated according to their deserts. Oonse-
quently they need not come again at-present
Secretary Stanton had better be left behind; for
if he is caught outside Of Washington he will
probably be arrested, indicted and sent 70
prison. There are warrants issued against him
already, we understand. The other Secretaries
are Of no Importance, and might a. we'll remain
where they are and attead to their departments
The President, Mrs. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward
will meet with . splendid reception In New
York, and will undoubtedly enjoy themselves
wonderfully.
1t Is no joke to be President during
such crisis a. this. and Mr.. Lin
coin must feel chat he requires amuse-
ment. "All work and no play makes,
Jack dull boy" says the ancient proverb.
Mrs. Lincoln has labored quite ~ we'll in her
graceful, benevolent, womanly way as Mr.. LIS
coin has In his, and change Of scene and
society will reinvigorate her. Secretary Seward
Is the hardest worker in the Cabinet, and The
most successful, and the President should give
him holiday. We know how wearisome It =
to be perpetually writing, and Secretary
Stewards diplomatio correspondence alone i
enough to overfAtigue any ordinary man. Fer
tunatsly New York h now just in the proper
trim to entertsin her distinguished guests, and -
surpass the displays in London in hsnor Of ~
marriage Of tho Prince Of Wsle& The bright
sun Of spring beauties everything with ia
radiance. rhs puro cir, fresh from the sea-,
will be most refreshing 10 lungs cloggsa with
the miasmas Of the Washington swamps The
Central Park il beginning to develop IL,
charms, and its drives are most delightful. Wind
and weather permitting, tsss chompstrs could
perhaps be arranged for the Presidents party
by the residents Of Washington Heights. There
has never been . gayer winter in New York.
and our fashicnables would resume their festi-
vities and extend the season for few weeks
more should the President desire it. Then
the fashionable openings are just taking
place, and Mrs. Lincoln can delight
herself with bonuets and robes Of Parisiaa
elegance and taste, while the President admires
the brilliant. display Of tolettes and equipages
on Broadway, or combines instruction with
amusement by studying the curious pranla oi
the bulls and bears of Wall street, in regard to
which we shall be happy to enlightsn him, a.
we enlightened poor General Harrison, who
would have lived till this time had he remained
! in New York, but who was killed by month Of
Washington life.
In addition to all this the Presidential party
will see1n Now York the best theatrical per-
formances In the country, and hear the best and
most complete operatic troupe which has visited
US since the time Of Malibran. Max Maretzsk,
the impressorio, Is an artist, and takes IN art.
lists pride In his profession. He has the Marti
gold mine for bis base Of operations. and, unlike
Secretary Chase, continues specie payments to
his employees. Medori the prima donna, h IN
! admirable singer and actress, and reminds us Of
| Grisi when Grisi was young and impsssioned
and had not yet adopted something Of Mario's
inanimate and placid style. MazzoIeni, the tenor.
Is an immense hvorite, and deserves all his sue
cess. We have had no such combination Of excel.
lent singing with superior acting since the elder
Garcia, the father Of Malibrsn. and the great
representative Of Almaviva, in I'll Barbieri 81
| Seviglia,p and Don Giovanni in the opera Of
the same name Without making invidious
comparisons with other favorite tenors, each Of
whom is good In his way, we can praise Mazso-
leni, who is good in every way Bellini, the
baritone, and Biachi, the bAsso, are also won

not have another opportunity Of hearing operas
so well performed for the next twenty years.
and should certainly avail himself OF this.
Besides these, the original members OF Msret-
