Probable Ability of the FOrtieth Congress.
TEE Fortieth Congress of the United States
bids fair to be the ablest of any which has
ever assembled at the capital. We make this
assertion without knowing who are going to
be elected, but merely upon the strength of
what evidence has been alre ady submitted to
the public. Almost every member of the
Thirty-ninth Congress has been renominated.
The great mistake of the North previous to
the war, and one which the South was not slow
to oavai itself ot,was the desire OF the constituent
cies OF the free States to be continually repre-
sented by some new man. 1t was seldom, If
ever, that any Nor .hern member OF the House
was returned more than twice, and it was no
exception to the general rule for district to
change its representative at each election.
The South, on the other hand, when once
they secured an able, faithful, and efficient
member, kept him in his seat as long as
he would remain. 1t was customary for q
man to be returned for ten years in nearly all
the Southern States; and when once a gentle
man qualified for public position was found,
he was never allowed to retire into private
life. The consequences of such course were
at once evident-the Southern members had
lar more influence at the capital than our
own. Nor was it unnatural. By wears of
public employment they became familiar
with all the intricate and various windings
OF the way to official favor, and could at once
reach the proper channel through which to
gain an end. Northern member, however.
fresh from home, knew nothing of the proper
person to see, in order that the wants OF his
constituents should be attended 10. He would
stumble Tor year in the slough of experience,
end Just as he had become experienced, would
be recalled, and some other new hand set at his
work Northern gentlemen going to the
capital were disgusted with their Renresenta.

Representatives were responsible for all IN,
errors ntailed by inexperience.

The Difference.

The Republicans in one Of the city districts of
NewYork have nominated Horace Greeley, the
editor, historian, philosopher, and phllanthro-
pist,as their candidate forCongress The Demo-
Gratis, on the other hand, of one of the districts
in the same city, have nominated as their
candidate John Morrissey, the notorious
pugilist and gambler. Gould anything more
clearly indicate the character of the two par
ties, and thein1uences upon which they rely
for success?

is credited with. His vocalization was better
Than On Monday evening" and his intonations
were managed with remarkable skill.
Mazzoleni made a fair hit in Fra Diavolo. He
sang with unusual spirit, and acted his role in
excellent style. The songs in the first and
second acts, and the romanza in the third act,
were vooiferously applauded and repeated for
an encore.
Sgnor Bernardo, as "Lorenzo," was in excel
lent voice, and is rapidly becoming a favorite.
His aria in the third act was encored and re-
peated.
signors Fossatti AMI Dubreuil were very good
as "Giacomo" and "Beppo," and in the initiative
Duet in the third act we're admirable. This
was called for en- encore and repeated, produc-
ing much merri nent.
We have space here only to say that the
choruses were executed in excellent style, and
were each applauded.
We come now TO the practical part Of our
critSque The audience at the Academy of Music
last night was neither large nor brilliant. The
house was only about halElull. The complaint
was general that the prices were exorb-
liant, and We must confess to a similar
opinion. The management must reduce
their price for seats to 81 and $3.50, or
they will lose a great deal of money during
lDls bedSon' AS there are not great many
season ticket holders, we presume that
no serious objection would be raised
by them to this change. To the people we
would advise most liberal encouragement to
this troupe-the best that has ever visited Phi
ladelpha. Our friends must overlook the fact
that Tor dollar the "Knight of Manhattan
has his seat at the opera, always, while the
Quaker citizen" has TO pay two dollars for his
'whistle.r We must have Italian opera; we
must pay for it; but we will not pay for any
losses sustained in New York.
Tonight the sublime opera of La Sonndn,buld
is announced. 1t has not been performed here
for several years, and we doubt not that 1t will
attract very large audience.
Miss Amalia M. Hauck Will make her debut as

PERsoNAL.--Miss Kate Josephine Bateman,
the well-known actress, who suddenly gave up
her theatrical engagements after the late brief
season at Nlbos, was married on Saturday last
at st. Luke's Church, in Brooklyn, to George
Grove, NJ. D., young physician of London.
We presume this may be construed into a fare
