SPEECH OF POSTMASTER BOWEN

1t will be seen by the report elsewhere of q
speech made by Mr.. Postmaster Bowen last
night, that that gentleman is not quite satisfied
with the position in which he placed himself
by his wanton vilifcation of the citizens of
Washington over his own signature in the edi-
toral columns of the Chronicle. He attempts
to explain away, with very Indifferent success,
some of the most offensive of his charges; and
then with no little assurance undertakes to put
himself in the position Of a martyr, assailed by
his enemies for his long devotion to the prin-
ciples of liberty. AsSdiIed indeed! The people
of the city neither knew or cared ought about
the man, til his wanton attack upon them
as an entire community, very naturally
aroused their indignation, and they re-.
PEELED the assault" Of Mr. Bowen on them
by such varied modes Of Repression as suggest
ed themselves spontaneously. 1t will certain.
ly strike the people OF this community with the
profoundest surprise to be told by him that his
exertiens in behalf Of the Union were suffi.
GENTLY demonstratiye to attract any attention
whatever, to him, or make him a single enemy
(or friend for that matter) on Gods foots DOL
The people here knew him only as the, liost
inveterate office seeker that ever infested this
capital city OF large experiences in that way,
but inyeterate office seekers are much too com.
mon here to excite either luminosity or Won
der.
we con; .:.,e.d M Powen's candid ::am:s:
sion that many Republicans voted against ne.
gro suffrage to the attention of such newspa-
pers abroad as have misrepresented the city's
vote in that respect. He thinks they SO voted
under a Misrepresentation that Congress in
tended to grant the boon of suffrage to contra
bands, without any qualification whatever,
and says that he is not in favor of such unlim-
tied suffrage, and believes Congress will not
favor it. This will be bad news for Crow Hill,
Negro Hill, Tin-cup Alley, Goose Level,
Buzzard's Point, and other localities swarm
ing with expectant voters of the contraband

WHITE HOuSE

There was not large attendance Of visitors
at the White House to-day, and none Of these
were granted an interview with the President
until afternoon, his time being occupied with
Secretary McCulloch, Secretary Stanton, and
General Grant, who came in about twelve
o'clock.
Yesterday, General Don Salgar was intro.
duced to the President by the Secretary Of
State, and presented his credentials as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of
the United States of Columbia. The General,
in the course OF his remarks, said:
81 heartily congratulate myself on placing in
the hands of your EXcellency, as 1 do, the
autograph letter Of the President of Columbia,
accrediting me to the mission, to preserve and
render advantageous friendship that rests on
such legitimate interests, and to protest nv
that may continue to deserve your confidence
and benevolent consideration"
The President replied rs follows:
"Genera1:-It was with sincere regret that l
recently received your letter of recall, need
not say, therefore, that it is with sincere salts
faction that l now receive the letter which
accredits you again as Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary Of the United
States of Columbia to this Government. i
renew, on this occasion, my former assurance
OF friendship and good will to your country
men and to your country, and of personal
esteem to yourself"
An excellent profile portrait OF the President
has been prepared, silver copies of which are
to be distributed among those OF the Indian
chiefs who have observed the obligations of
their treaties with the Government. 1t has
been the custom, since the formation of the
Government, to present such tokens to the
chiefs every four years. and it is a note worthy
fact that there is no record of any chief who
has been thus favored, ever violating his treaty
obligations.
To-day, the President received among his
letters a number from insane persons One
letter is from an individual in New York, who
writes to the President every week on political
topics, filling four pages of fool.cap, and sign
ing himself emperor of the World Another
individual at Fall River, Massachusetts, writes
every day, concerning his imaginary possess
sions, amounting TO many millions, and impor-
tunes the President not to allow certain par
ties to share in the distribution of the proper
ty. A lady writes that she has had a spiritual
visitation by her son, who died in Salisbury
prison, and asks the President to send her some
money. These are but specimens of dozens of
letters received every week, and which. after
perusal. help TO fill the waste basket Of the
Executive office.

sALEAT POINT lookout

The Quartermaster General, upon the re-
commendation of Gen. Grant, has ordered the
sale of all the Government buildings at Point
Lookout These include over eighty buildings,
some of which are very large. The steam
laundry, used in washing for the Confederate
prisoners and United States troops on duty
there, together with the wharf timber will also
be sold. The efforts which have been made
through Congress and the President to have
the buildings at Point Lookout set apart by the
Government for military and naval asylum
delayed action on this subject for some time
but after q careful consideration Of the matter
by the authorities, it was deemed advisable to
sell the property and to adopt some other
method Of assisting the philanthropic efforts OF
the people in behalf of disabled soldiers and

Affairs in Georsetowu.

The NOTING.-To-day the polls are opened
and the judges Of election are receiving the
votes Of the citizens on the question Of negro
suffrage. Many of the citizens are careless
about voting, believing that II is determined in
Congress TO force this bill through in spite OF
all the circumstances that can be made. All
is quiet at the polls
THE CANAL.-The water has been drawn on
from this level, and the boats are lying in the
mud. Of course this suspends all the ordinary
business along the canal The mills have en-
tirely suspended operations, and the workmen
at the derricks of the coal docks have migrated
10 other localities. The cleansing Of the canal
if thoroughly done, will be of great advantage

hear that il is the intention Of the company 70
make various Improvements in the canai

FLOUR AND GRAIN MARKET.-The market
is quiet Demand for flour moderate, princi-
paliy for high grades, to supply the city trade.
Transactions unimportant- with no material
change OF yesterdays quotations. rGrain.-No
Wheat offered. Corn unchanged.
. PORT OF Conference.-The only arrival
and clearance is the schooner Christana, De
zick, fIom York River, with oysters, and
bound fol the Rappahannock. Ii was reported
at the Custom House this morning that the
damage TO the draw of the Long Bridge al the
GEORGETOWN channel is much more serious
than was at first supposed, and the repairs will
not be completed in less than two months
For the sake Of the commerce Of Georgetown
we trust II is not so.

FAUsT.-This opera was performed last night

fAUsT.-This opera was performed last night
TO the finest house Of the season. The perform
ance was not remarkable for excellence. In
the first place it was cut most mercilessly
Whole scenes went out by the run. Those
who remember the Hartz Mountain, and next
succeeding scene of the last act, as performed
by the German troupe last winter, were sur
prised to see the curtain rise on the prison
scene, which is the third Of that act. Oare-
lessness was conspicuous in many particulars.
We had one scene last night, with night-before-
lasts Pompeian sphynx staring at us from the
centre background. Poor Marguerite, whose
golden locks were so much admired during the
performance, went TO heaven ar last in Jet
black tresses. Perhaps the stage manager be-
Heyes that raven hair is the orthodox hue in
Elysium-a consolatory idea to red-haired
people.
Kellogg as Marguerite was good, almost be-
yond comparison. In the Bijou Song, espe-
cIally, her vocalization was deliciously clear
and pure; and from its close thenceforward,
she carried the audience with her at will. Her
great effort was in the del ciel, in the prison,
which was perfect without qualification. In
the duet, TdTdi 81 ia, her part was also happily
rendered.
Antonuci made fair impression as M,phis-
topheies, and attempts nothing he cannot do
"oii I1t was III especially gOOQ voice, 700,
and in the gold song and serenade was par
ticularly pleasing. But he is only a very ss-
Unable singer, and not at all Mephistophelean.
His makeup for the part would have Just hit
off easy going, pig-headed Sancho Panza.
Irfre's Faust was acceptably good through
out His voice was better suited to the role
before HIM, than was that of Mezzolini on Mon
day night to Maurice. He possesses grace
full flowing style. admirably adapted to senti-
mental scenes, rs was particularly shown in
the duet with Magaurette, Tardi 81 fa. This
duet. which Is part OF the garden scene, was
the gem of the performance. He slid graceful
ly by some high notes in the aria SdIra Dia.Ora
CGsta PUrG, and ruined an exquisite refrain
by attempting to improve on the author.
Miss Phillips was good as SeibeI. Her rendi-
ton in the flower-plucking scene was deserv-
eddy encored.
Lorini made very good mark as Fdlentiae,
and in the death scene, Per d. qua, his male
diction of Marguerite was good piece otact-
ing.
All the chorusses were excellent. The finale,
T. SGlro, was delicious.
Tonight We have Norma, with a fine cast.
