The Indecency of The Drama called "The
Black Crook"
From the Louisville Courier, October IS.
Our Eastern, or rather, as they are generally
termed, Yankee brethren and sisters are espe-
clally on the high moral stills. Twas among
them originated the patent high pressure idea of
new God, new Bible, and new religion.
Twas there that women abandoned their legiti-
mate sphere, and took TO the forum TO instruct
men IN matters of which the fair lecturers we're
profoundly ignorant. Twas there that all the
new isms that throw aside all the moral and
social amenities that keep the human race
above the brute creation, had their birth IT'S
from there we get all the obscene publications
and prints that are demoralzing our youth
IT'S there are first introduced, in their frst-cass
theatres. the bawdy dramas that are only enacted
in the very loWes Grade of Paris theatres for the
delectation of the very lowest sem and 6lth of
Partisan society. Certainly the "dramatizations
from the French" with which we have been
favored from Ilme to time were obscene enough
to suit the most depraved taste. But 1t seems
not to be so. New York required something
more loose and obscene yet, and New York has
now got 1T IN the shape of play called The
Black Crook. This is a dramatiZation OF "a very
OLD and very dirty book, written in the days OF
the Pompadour, and the circulation OF when
was suppressed by law IN later and more decent
times. We are sorry to say that we are indebted
to Mr. Charles M. Barras, q man whom we
would not have suspected OF prostituting his
talents by employing them in such work, for
Ins Drama. But Barras wrote 1t, and Manager
Wheatley is playing it at Niblo's, and not only
playing it, but multitudes are turned away
nightly, and Mr. Wheatley pockets S25OO at each
exhibition.
The Black Crook depends for its popularity upon
the lascivious pictures formed upon the stare.
There are several "demon" and other dances,
in which hfty-three girls, selected for their
beauty of feature and perfection of form, take
part in an entirely nude state, except narrow
cloud OF thin gauze that conceals nothing. So
ueprayed have his audience become, that
Manager Wheatley finds 1t a paving dodge to
hang out large transparencies before his theatre
each night, announcing that the ''demon dance

luscious, and cannot fail TO inspire auditors

Never is my heart so gay

Halt so sweet in blooming June,
Never knows such happiness

When October dons her crown,
And the leaves are turning brown.
Breathe, sweet children, soft regrets
For the vanished vlolets;
Sing, you lovers, the delights

Never in the Summer hours
On my way such radiance showers,
As from heaven falls softly down

II is understood that since the pas
sage by Congress Of a resolution pro
testing against the removal Of troops
from Southern States, Secretary Stan
ton hiss directed a suspension of the
musteT-out previously ordered in Nir
| giniG, and that the regular line is to be
increased until 1t aggregates eighty
thousand men.
10 his report, Mr.. Stanton promised
that the army should be reduced to an
aggregate of fifty thousand. The peo-
pie believe that this number is none too
small, and that until overt demonstra-
tons against federal authority make an
added demonstration Of force neoessa-
ry, the fewer troops under arms, the
better. They will desire some expla
nation for the evident change of policy
at the War Department
The cost of maintaining thirty regi-
ments IN the field cannot be less than
an equal number Of millions yearly,
and will pyobably exceed that sum. In
these days Of large figures, we are com
paratively indifferent to the expendi-
ture of a sum, which, within the mem
DRY of men not very old, was sufficient
to carry on the entire Government for
a year. But retTenohment is ever to
begin, we shall some time have to grow
careful OF our millions.

anchOly examples it affords of the man

ed to crush ont the liberty of nations,
and how insensibly but surely, the

No Government was ever moro gem
