DER FREIsCHUTZ WITH CARL FoRMEs AS
CAsPAE.-The opera tor tonight at Growers
is Der Frefschut. with Carl Formes (who is un-
doubleday the greatest living male musical ce-
leority OF the world,) in his great part of Cas-
par. The opportunity OF hearing this great
opera with Formes in this leading parts rare
one indeed, and will be duly improved by the
musical community. His rendition of the part
OF Plunkett originally written for him by the
composer Of Martha,) on Wednesday night was
superbly, grandly good and warmed up the
audience to a high pitch OF enthusiasm We
hope to hear his grand rich organ in others of
his great parts, and certainly advise all who
can, to witness his performance tonight of the
part Of CoSpar, part in which he has no RI
val.
Mile Canissa will make charming Annette
with her fresh, pure, and musical voice. and
the other parts OF this master piece OF Won
Webers will be in good hands, as will be seen
by the cast announced elsewhere.

PRACTICE vs. PROFESSION

fRACI1CE SS. HhOf ESSlON.
The chief counts in the indictment against
President Lincoln drawn by the recent con-
vention OF malcontents assembled at Gle veland,
Ohio, were leveled against arbitrary arrests,
and urging the necessity OF extirpating fraud
and corruption from governmental affairs
Yet strange to say, the candidate nominated
by that convention for the first Office known to
the Constitution made, Of his own motion, the
first arbitrary arrest that has grown out of the
war! We here refer to Fremont's arbitrary
suppression Of the st. Louis newspaper that
was first taken in hands for exerting disloyal
influence, or, rather, influence tending to shake
public confidence in his (Fremont's) admins.
tration of the affairs of the Military Department
OF Missouri.
Next, 1t turns out that the conventions anti.
fraud and corruption resolution, among others,
was reported or fathered by no other person
than the noted individual who was first tried,
convicted and dismissed from the United States
military service under charges Of gross fraud
and regulation upon the Government and
army. That is, since the rebellion began
We submit, that these facts speak volumes
with reference to the true character of the nal.
contents convention, and the utter worthless
ness Of their professions to catch the votes of
the dear people.
