The TRUE AND FALSE IN DRAMATIC REPRE-
sENTArIoN.-Until within q period Of few
years theatrical management in France was in
the hands Of the government Theatres had
to be licensed, and strict supervision was
exercised over them. This system worked
very well for the managers, because those who
were fortunate enough to obtain a license
enjoyed monopoly by which they were cna-
bled to use the actors for their own profit.
But 1t worked very badly for the poor actors,
insomuch as it made them TO great extent
the mere slaves Of a set Of avaricous task
masters, under whose despoism genius Of the
highest order was bought and sold at miser-
able rate Of compensation. twas grievance
for the public also, because hey had TO submit
10 the infiction OF whatever class Of actors the
managers chose to impose upon them. About
two years ago Napoleon, seeing the evil
effects Of this system removed all restrictions
upon the theatres throughout all the empire,
contracts and perform when and where
they pleased Perfect liberty has been enjoyed
since then in the pursuit Of the theatrical
profession. II happened that just at this
same time an association Of managers wss
formed in this city for the purpose OF, %stab-
fishing despotsm in the theatrical business.
with view to control the pr:ce of labor
among the poor musicians ard actors. Under
the old system in France actors or actresses
were hard set TO fpa employment, no matter
what their talent yiight be, because they were
restricted TO the licensed theatres, and the
managers Of these establishments alone had
bargains with them. What the law in this
country did not establish the Managers Asso-
citation sought TO accomplish. The managers.
acting in concert, would not permit the en-
ployes Of any theatre connected with the "osso-
citation" to better their condition by accepting
employment in another house at an Increased
salary, and thus they exercised absolute con-
troll over the actors and musicians, and could
command their services at the price the man.
ayers chose TO afhx 20 them What meaner
motives than thesoi This ATTEMPT TO reduce
the value Of labor In the theatrical profession
was resisted by several OF the managers, who
refused to join the coalition, and they have
oeen the gamers since their honest reputation
OF this odious monopoly by the Increased
patronage which their establishp,ents have en-
joyed. The associated managers endeavored to
obstruct the progress Of tie legitimate drama
in every way, and they lave succeeded, as far
as their own theatres are concerned. in exclud-
ing even shakspve from their boards. No

drama car get an engagement in the theatres
controlled by the associated managers. Their
object seems to be to demoralize public taste
by substituting trashy, and not unfrequently
immoral, representations for the higher class
Of dramas. Therefore 1t is that we find Ristori
playing to the cream Of society in the French
theatre, and the German tragedian, Dawson,
at the Stadt theatre, and Hackett, recognized
representative of Shakspere, giving US his in
comparable and always welcome impersona-
tions of Falstaf at the comfortable little Broad
way theatre, where the Keans received so
many ovations from the New York public-not
one of which establishments is connected
with the managers Association" Thus also we
observe that when one Of the managers of the
Broadway takes an actor from one of the "com-
bination theatres or the Bowery and exhibits
him in Brooklyn there is Jfdsco, although the
efforts of the same manager were eminently
successful at Mr. Woods theatre. The infer
ence from all these facts is that an intelligent
public like ours know full well where real
merit is to be found, and that they are not dis
posed to patronize those houses where only
second or third rate talent is employed while
the perfection of art can be realized elsewhere.

RAPD INCREASE IN THE POPULATION OF THE
UNITED STATEs.-Returns lately sent in to the
Census Office give us an interesting glimpse
into the growing prosperity Of the country, 1t
would seem from these returns that, notwith-
standing the terrible ravages of our late war,
the population of the United States has been
and is increasing at the rate of million
a year. The Western and Northwestern States
are mainly absorbing this added population;
but after the South has accepted the constitu-
tional amendment and re-entered Congress
strong tide of emigration will set In
southwark. Colonies of Scandinavians are
already leading the way. The climate OF
many of the the Southern States is prefer
able to that of the Northwest, and in the variety
of their products and the fertility Of their soil
the Southern States have great additional ad-
vantages Emancipation opens the way for
immense changes land developments in the
South. The Old World system of agriculture
which slavery perpetuated must disappear.
Agricultural machinery and white labor will
gradually supplant, in fact is gradually sup
planting, the uncertain hand labor of the negro.
The effect Of such change will be to multiply
almost indefinitely the producing power of the
country. There is grand future before the
South if she does but recognize her true in
terests, and grand future before the country
at large. Our population to-day is probably
not less than thirty-fve millions In 1870, when
the next government census is taken, it will
probably exceed forty millions.
