WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court to-day was crowded
with attorneys 70 hear the important argu.
ment Of Mr.. Carpenter, of Wisconsin. advo-
eating the re-admission Of Mr.. Garland to
practice on the ground that the Presidents
pardon restored the petitioner to AL his civil
and political rights.
Although he (Carpenter) sustained the
President in suppressing the rebellion, now
that the war was over, he was perfectly willing
to take by the hand his "re-constructed !"
brethren. He contended that the test oath
was unconstitutional.
Attorney General Speed, replying, argued
that Congress has the right to FIX the qualiA-
cation for Office, and that though pardon re-
moved the consequences of crime, 1t was not q
key to unlock the Government ofices. Mr..
Garland was no more restored to pardon than
were those who took part in the rebellion to tho
offices they previously occupied under the
United States Government.
Reverdy johnson will continue the argu.
ment next Friday for the petitioner

something Of a reputation in this city, where

he turned loose, he may again migrate in this
direction, and it would be well for the police
to keep lookout for him.

THHATRIcAL.-At no previous time within
our recollection; when there was Il theatre in
Richmond, has that establishment been closed
up during the winter season. The Richmond
Theatre, owing to some cause which is not
easily explained, has fallen into bad repute
and the owner has been compelled to stop the
dramatic performances to save herself from
serious pecuniary loss. 1t was understood to
have been leased to Mr.. Samuel Glenn, of the
Norfolk Theatre, but he failed to comply with
his part of the contract and the consequence
was, that the whole machinery stopped, and
the actors and actresses scattered to the four
points Of the compass. There is rumor that
the establishment will reopen on the lst of
January with Grau's Italian Opera Company,
but we have reason to believe that this is an
error. With 4 frst-class company, under
good management, q good business might be
done here.

THE PETERSBURG RAILROAD BRIDGE.-When
the travellers by the Southern route go over to
Manchester crossing to take the Petersburg
train, they must needs get up 4 half hour ear
lier, and pay a half dollar extra for q ride over
there in the omnibus. But during that noisy
and jolly ride they have abundant time to re-
feet upon the energy and zeal being displayed
in the rebuilding of the railroad bridge, and to
make their little INTERCEPT onal remarks on the
subject.
The chord pieces for the half of two span s
are actually framed and lying on the bank, and
the timbers to support the bridge while in con-
strnction mp on two spans. There Is a conf
dent expectation that the bridge will be finish
ed some of these days.
But it will be fine bridge when it is done.
1t will be a Howe truss, of very heavy timber,
and that timber of the very best quality. A
bridge, in short, that one can go over without
that sinking of the heart that was felt at
crossing the old one.s The engineers pro-
nounced the old bridge perfectly safe, and
truly it never did fall down, but in the heart
of the people there was deep distrust of it,
and, upon the whole, it was one of the least
regretted pieces Of conflagration in all the great
fire. And now that fortune seems to smile on
the road, it is to be hoped that the new bridge
will soon be done

THE STANTON RIVER BRIDGB.-This bridge,
on the line of the Richmond and Danville
railroad, which was carried away by frcshet
some weeks ago, is now sufficiently finished
10 allow the trains to pass over. The energy
and perseverance shown by the present officers
Of the road Justly entitle them 10 great credit.
There have been many difficulties to contend
with, and the means of the company are limit
ed yet they are pushing forward every
kind of work necessary TO perfect the road,
and introducing many desirable improve
ments. Some very fine passenger coaches
have lately been received from the North and
placed upon the road. Much of the credit for
the success of this great work of internal i'm
provement is due to the energy of the efficient
superintendent, Colonel Thomas DOdamead.

The Piano Mania.

"There is no social disease so wide spread SO
virulent, and so fatal in its attack, ms the piano
mania. Before girl is born, now n days she is
destined to sit and extract dreadful screenings
and wailings from some unhappy instrument for
al least ten years of her natural life. No ques-
tion ms to whether she possesses an ear, and no
consideration for the Of other people, is per-
mitted to interfere with the decroe, which is as
irrevocabe as the laws Of the Medes and Per-
sians, that katy OF Lucindy' as the case may
be- must play the piano. The poor thing may
be n natural born housekeeper, with genius for
sweeping and busting, washing and baking, but
with no more perception of chords and cadcnces
than of the music of tho spheres. Still she will
not be permitted TO follow her natural bent be-
cause it is SO horribly vulgar She will be wept
over scolded and fretted at, and any lazy, fine
lady, sister cousin, held up as an example of
gsntility.
"To be able to play en- the piano in company Is
the sine qua non of many foolish fond mothers
hopes, who look back with regret on their own
limited chances of education, and are apt there
Sore, to sadly overrnte tho value Of what call
Ell Accomplishments. Playing tho piano is doubt
less very good thing when it is we'll done, and
by person who possesses musical taste; but
otherwise it is only torture for sensitive ear
to listen TO it. Jingle, jingle, jingle thump,

SIGys THAT FAILED.-We all remember the
story of the inn keeper who became proud as he
prosperod, and taking down his sign Of the ASS
put up portrait of George ~ in its place. His
neighbor Immediately raised the cast off efigy
and ''in this sign he conquered" The first land
lord, alarmed at tho increasing popularity of his
rival, and, understanding the cause, wrote under
Icath the grim visage Of his Majesty "This is the
real ASS"
But more ludicrous incident Of the kind is
just now told at the expense of the good Bishop
of LANDAU. lie took up his abode nearthe head
OF Lake Windemere where the principal inn had
been known MS tho Cock but the landlord, by
way Of compliment to his distinguished neighbour
substituted tho Bishop rs the new sign. An inn
keeper close by, who had frequently envied mine
host Of the Cock for his good fortune in securing
considerable preponderance Of visitors, took adj
vantage of the change, and attracted many trav.
elcrs to his house by putting up tho sign of the
Cock. The landlord with the new sign was much
dscomfted at seeing many of his old customers
deposited at his rivals establishment So, by
way of remedy, he put up in large, red letters
under the portrait of tho Bishop This is the old
Cock"
