WALNUT STREET THEATRE.-Mr Booths "ShV

flowing house. as II it had been played for the first
time. MIR, Booth, like true artist, is earnest
ever thoroughly mbued with the character he plays.
He understands the majesty of art the responsibility
of the artist. 1t would be we'll If all the company
were impressed IN the same way. We are so often
called on to write words of criticism and blame on
the "POrtia" OF the play, that il has grown almost
painful to have ever to record inecency, which Is
an excusable fault but triing with the scene such
as auRhng, perverting the text and traternzinR z

faults and should be noticed bY all and corrected by

"Durng the past few days several dIstm-

Smith and John B. Hood was more than cor
dial-t was affectonatc They had not met
before since the close Of the war, and their
greeting was that of true and tried friends, who
loved and trusted each other.
But noh'er exhibition Of the generosity Of
mind and personal honor was that afforded yes

with his old comradc-in- aruls, cx-Gen. John b,

is most gloomy, and that several most danger
Gus matters present themselves to every OBJ
server. They are; the probability that the

as adopted, Notwithstanding the votes Of the
Southern States against it; the apprehension
that Congress may undertake 10 set aside the
existing State governments South, and reor-
ganize them on such basis as would put their
political power in the hands of the blacks and
a very small minority of the whites; the
threatened attack on the Executive power, the
effect of which no one can toresce, except
that it would effectually destroy, if successful,
the independence of the Executive depart
ment; and the issue that would be raised if
the dominant party should refuse to count the
electoral votes Of the Southern States at tie
next Presidential election, especially as. The
Constitution has not provided any moe.e of
determini ng disputed questions involved in the
election of President These are, indeed grave
and important subjects, well calculated t o make
