DEATH OF J. A. RoBNsoN.-Mr. John
Aleck Robinson, who was wounded by a
mob at Crittenden, KY a few days ago,
died at the residence of his uncle, John
Robinson, in Cincinnati, on Monday last,
from the effects of the injuries received.
From the first his physicians pronounced
it an incurable case, but the iron constitu-
ton of the unfortunate young man enabled
him to struggle with death with almost SUI
perhuman energy. He was amiable and
inoffensive in manner and bearing; kindly
in disposition and universally beloved by
his confreres in the profession, of which he
was a distinguished ornament. He was a
steadfast and enthusiastic friend, and his
premature death, in the very spring-tide OF
youth, will be mourned by all who knew
him.

THH OPERA HoUsEs-The first appearance
of Mrs. d. p. Bowers at the Opera House,
last evening, was notable event in the his
tory of our magnificent dramatic temple
Her matchless impersonation of Camille"
fully met the most sanguiDe expectations of
the intelligent aud delighted audience
whose good fortunes it was TO witness her
splendid and truthful rendition of the part.
She is an actress of rare accomplishments,
of the highest intellectual culture, possess
sing all the grace and dignity of bearing
which characterize a lady of her profession,
and by her magnificent acting last night,
she fully verified all that had been said in
her commendation. The patrons of the le-
gitimate drama here may well congratulate
themselves on her appearance upon the
Opera House boards for brief season. The
occasion should be improved, for it will be
a long time before our people will have
another opportunity of enjoying so rare an
Intellectual repast. i
Mrs. Bowers was excellently supported
by Mr.. John McCollom, as "Armand Du-
val" He is young actor of great prom
Use, and is rapidly attaining the first rank
in his profession. f. '.l.
| The attraction this evening is the beauti-
ful and thrilling drama of 'Ingomar," in
which Mrs. Bowers will appear as "Par-
thenia," and Mr.. McCollom as "Ingomar.'
This is one of the most delightful and at
tractive plays ever put upon the stage, and
with such distinguished talent as win be
brought into requisition on the occasion OF
its presentation, we may safely predict that
the spacious auditorium of the Opera House
will be filled to its utmost.
Mr.. C. I. Freeman, the Treasurer of the
Opera House, has just made a complete
diagram of the hall, with the seats ac-
curately numbered. This arrangement will
greatly assist all who desire to procure re-
served seats. The diagram may be seen at
tho Clothing Store of Walker &c Turner,
301 Third street.

Cabinet observation-disclosures ON
the Report of the Reconstruction
COMMITTEES. &c.
WASHINGTON, May l.

WASHINGTON, May !,
The Cabinet to-day have protracted dis
cussion upon the report of the Reconstruc-
tion Committee presented to Congress yes
terday. Every member of the Cabinet save
Harlan, opposed the plan of the committee.
1t is supposed therefore that Harlan viii
withdraw from the Cabinet. As n reason
for this belief Secretary Harlan himself is
quoted in letter addressed to Mr. kenne-
dy some six months ago, declining to give
a reason for renewing Mr.. Kennedy from
the Bureau of Statistics. Secretary Harlan
saws that when Cabinet officer or any other
officer of the Government discovered that
he was not in perfect accord and sentiment
publicly or morally with the President 1t
was the plain duty of the member of the
Cabinet or other officer to resign.
The Senate did not conclude the discus
sion of the Henderson amendment to the
HOst-Office Appropriation Bill. Theindica-
ton is that the amendment will fail, and
that the same idea will be incorporated in q
bill and shortly introduced in the Senate.
The purpose of the bill will be single and
to the end that the President shall neither
remove or appoint officers without the con-
sent of the Senate.
There is no doubt that the radicals will
solidly vote for such bill, but they have
probably made mistake In their strength
when the proposition comes, and with its
purpose plainly expressed on its face. In
the House some have already stated that
they would not vote for such a measure,
neither in the form of an amendment nor
as special bill.
There is further talk to-day of motion
in the Senate to eXpel Senator Davis, of
Kentucky, from that body, on account of
the statements uttered by him on the 9th of
last month, before referred to, and which
Senator Howard denounced yesterday as
revolutionary and reasonable.

Coal OIL CURE FOR HOG CHoLERA.-In
the lower part of Hardin county, Ky, coal
oil has been used successfully in the cure OF
hog cholera. In one case several hogs, in a
lot of which 20 had just died, were cured
by drenching them with two tablespoon
fuls of coal oil, repeating the dose the sec
ond day. In another case cure was ac-
complished by mixing coal oil with meal
slop and eaten by the swine.

CHoLERA.-A physician, who writes very
scientifically about the cholera, says it is
disseminated by means of cholera parasites
borne on the warm air, and taken into the
stomach with our food, and in other ways.
He says that gas vapor will destroy these
parasites, and recommends that in every
house leak be allowed, so that the gas can
pervade in small degree every room. He
also recommends that every tenth gas-lamp
in the city be allowed to waste its gas.

FoREsTALLNG CRY OFFICERS IN VIOLA
LATIoN OF CRY ORDNANCE--SHARP PRAc-
T1oE.--The republican members of the
City Council--As we are wen and reliably
informed-held caucus on Monday night
last, and agreed upon the men who should
compose the police force for the coming
year. ...... -- ..- r..-
The ordinance passed by former City
Council requires the Mayor to report to
names of nine able-bodied, competent men,
resident voters of the city, from whom and
such other persons as they may deem
proper, the Council shall, within two
weeks, affirm as policemen for one year,
&c.
From the action of the caucus above re-
ferred TO, it seems that the ordinances re-
quiring the Mayor to report or recommend
TO Council suitable persons for policemen,
is to be treated as a nullity and farce.
This unwarranted assumption on the part
of the republican members of the Council
will no doubt surprise many people even
in these times of high-handed usurpation,
Before the time specified for the Mayors
recommendation, or before the Council
could know who would be recommended,
party caucus is held, and the men for po-
licemcn selected and agreed upon, thus vir-
tually saying to the Mayor, "it is of no use
for you to recommend any one; we care not
what your duty is under the ordinance
when the ordinance suits as it is all right,
but now it don't happen to suit us, and
therefore is of no account" This is certain
ly drawing the lines very fine. ft.
Heretofore, it has been the custom to, at
least, confer with the Mayor in the selection
of the police force. When the Democrats
had majority in the Council, and the
Mayor was Republican, this course was
all right; but now, when a reversed state
of things exists it won't do at all. The
Republican self-constituted caucus says
in plain terms--'No, Mr.. Mayor we
don't intend to let you have anything to
say in the matter whatever
We suppose, if the Mayor should have
recommended some or even all of the very
men picked out by this caucus, they would
very likely have been thrown overheard
and another caucus held to make other Sc
lections. That is the way in which Repub'
lican officials are disposed to ''strut in lit
tie brief authority" now-a-days.
