ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-Mr. Won Olker, the able
leader of the orchestra at the Academy, had a
very complimentary house for his benefit last
evening, and the performances passed off with
unusual eclat, particularly the musical parts of the
entertainment.
During the evening, Mr.. Won Olker was the
recipient of handsome testimonial Miss Elolse
Clyde, in behalf of the company, with very neat
speech, presented to him pair of silver goblets
aud salyer, as an evidence Of the regard in which
he is held professionally and privately by herself
and her associates on the boards. The presenta-
ton was tastetully and happily done, but, as is
often the case with men of the greatest merit,
Mr. Won Olker, was so embarrassed in replying,
that he was inaudible to the spectators,
There will be matinee at the Academy at

romance, The Lilies of Killarney is the conspic-

any place where they can pass an evening more

THE SurREME CouEr.-The radicals insist that
the Senate shall reject the nomination of Mr.. Stan
berry, appointed by the President to fill the vacan-
cy on the bench of the Supreme Court, caused by
the death Of Judge Catron. They urge, as rea-
son, that he has given an opinion adverse to the
constitutonality of the civil rights BILL If he had
given an opinion in favor of that bill the radicals
would have been equally urgent for his confrma
ton. Mr.. Stanbery is Republican in politics
and one Of the most distinguished lawyers of
Ohio but he supports the Presidents policy and
opposes the radical programme for subyerting the
rights the States the Federal govern
ment into centralized consolidated despotism
Hence, the bitter opposition which is now mani
tested towards him. While the radicals are con.
tending that Mr.. Stanberry has rendered himself
ineligible for seat on the supreme bench by
expressing an opinion on a simple bill, perhaps
they will intimate some Misrepresentation Of Chief
Justice Chase's habit of making stump speeches
on all the political questions of the cay. axt
It is not at all improbable that the Senate will
refuse to confirm Mr.. stanberry's nomination; but
those voting to reject it are conscious that the
refusal will wear the appearance of being dictated
by factious and ambitious party spirit. They
are therefore proposing and, indeed, .endeayoring
to reorganize the judicial system, so as to abolish
one Of the circuits and thus obviate the necessity
81 acting on Mr.. stanberry's nomination at ALL
Thus they expect to get possession of the judi
ciary as they have obtained possession of Con-
gress-by the exercise Of the mere brute force of
numbers. Every act and every conception OF
this party, conspicuousy Illustrate its unscrupu-
lous and revolutionary character, its reckless dis.
regard of constitutional limitations and its ruthless
hatred of civil liberty.
