&C. B. Mcclellan has drawn the pay
of a Major General for two years,
$4,000 year, and is now drawing half:
pay, without rendering a days service
in return for such remuneration. He
is now the nominee of professedly
great party-whose success he consid-
ers beyond the peradventure ola doubt.
Why does he not exhibit his confidence
in his friends by resigniug?
The Chicago Platform claims that
the Democratic party, in the past,
firmly adhered to the Union and the
Constitution. The faIs!ty Of this claim
is shown by the fact that in every

up an Independent Government and

These are "trying times upon actors.
Amongst the thousands who attend the
theatre, are many men who, away from the
restraints Of home and society in which
they are known, behave themselves most
rudely and others who so behave them
selves because they have never known
what self respect and duty to others de-
manded Of them. In the most. serious and
interesting portions Of play, they will
break out with boisterous laughter, or in
terpose some impudent and silly remarks.
But few actors can stand the ordeal with
unruflled temper.
Recently there played in this city an ac-
trcss who has been before the lootlights, for
near two score years. when she came, she
was admonished Of what she might expect
of the rude and ill-bred, OOH" she re-
piled, 81 have been long on the stage-had
all sorts of experiences. Nothing can
take the starch out Of me-" This was
little boastlul but she did not know
Nashville audience Of these days. She got
on admirably until one night when she APP
peared in most thrilling tragic part,
which required great energy Of speech and
action. The fires Of youth were aroused,
and She played with startling power and
impressivcncss. The audience seemed
spell-bound. No one stirred. She alone
commanded attention; and her pas
stoned defamation sweptlik a tornado the
hearts ofthe intelligent. In the midst Of
enc OF the finest passages, some one cried
out-"Go a., old gal-,yoa can .0ia.'' The
sensible were Disguised. "Shame," mutt
tered many. The fair lady rather wilted.
"The brute. To treat lady SOL" she in
dignantly exclaimed, when she left the
stage.
This is but an example Of what is con
stantly occurring. Pity that men viii so
dcmean themselves. But we presume bet
ter need not be expected of the offenders.
The actors must submit with the best pos
sible grace.

have fed from the oppression Of the rebel
despots, suffer greatly. The great majority
Of them are entirely destitute, and all de-
serve the kind consideration Of The public.

confident will be, on this occasion, crowded
10 its utmost capacity. Turn out, good peo-
pie, and let it be a benefit substantial, and
long TO be remembered.
