but all squatted. A most heathenish
way ofpraying. The singing of this
finest aria Of the work, was like shout,
Ing for pilot ina fog. Signora Angeo-
lima Ghioni can do much gesticulatio
but like Signor McCafferry, she can't
sing. Signor F. Rosa, our old friend,
knows this. Max Strakosh is not here,
else the Opera would not have been
tom-foolery. We know Max,-and
he Is not in the present crowd. The
fiddlers were either four bars behind,
or four bars ahead, and we couldn't tell
which, all through the farce.
The audience was a brilliant one, and
most Of the ladies were arrayed in all
the gorgeous beauties of Solomon's ILL.,
lies, while many of the gentlemen APP
peared in new clothes, purchased for the
occasion, with immaculate kids and
waistcoats; but still there was room left
in the dress-circle, and there were very
few in the second tier. This was rather
singular, as our boys are fond of music.
The colored gallery was also empty.
Were the prices put up SO as to exclude
these lovers of the concord of sweet
sounds? We hope it was an oversight,
and nothing more.
In conclusion, we were not very de-
lightfully impressed with what we saw
and heard at the opera. 1t might do for
acountry village in North Carolina, but
the home talent of Norfolk is preferable
to the foreign element. II our criticism
has been somewhat confused and ram
bling, and If we have paid more at
tention to general details than to the
quality of the music, and the vocal exc
cution Of the performers, our justifica-
ton must be found in the fact that the
manager thought the press Of Norfolk
OF SO little moment, and so unnecessary
to his success, thathe sent lis the very
worst seats in the house, from which to
hear and Judge of the music. We were
placed in the centre of the parquette,
near the orohestra,-an the harmonious
sounds kept whirling around and around
our ears, like the waters of vast
whirlpool, of which we were the vor-
tex, SO that We found it impossible to dis
tinguish one note from another, as they
eddied around and forced themselves into
our ears, mouth, eyes, and nasal organ.
Had We been on the edge uf the musical
m@lstrum, we might have been better
able to hear, distinguish and Judge of
the claims of this grand opera troupe
to the privilege of appearing before a
fashionable audience, and the justice of
their charging such exhorbitant prices
for admission. IS
We have always defended Norfolk.
We are defending her now against bad
music. In the ugliest days of march
ing armies, they never had such inco-
herent, discordant bandsa as the orchestra.

the patronage of SO refined and intel
ligent, and fashionable and superbly
dressed, an audience, as that which
filled the house to uncomfortable full
ness. Butt is our. duty to expose this
effort to dupe our people into the belief
that what they witnessed last night, was
an operatic performance. Though of
that fact they are quite enlightened
enough themselves to be conscious. 1t
is becoming too much the case for few
mediocre concert singers and perform
crs, who fail to obtain employment-in
the large cities, because Of the inferiori-
ty of their attainments and their want of
talent, to get up small, one horse con-

impose themselves upon the inexpe-
rienced people of the provincial towns

the people Of the South u have
been shut out from the great world
for several years, and consequently have
had fewer opportunities of witnessing
good acting, and hearing good singing,
they look to this quarter for the ripest
fruit to be plucked, But they will find
out their error Jour people are notable for
their musical requirements and taste,
and they are not to be gulled by such
stuff as they were compelled To sit 4
through last night. They paid high
price and expected good article of
'opera;o instead of which, it was
thousand degrees below any of the anna

tlemen who sang the Oratorio recently

MR.. STEWARTS PLAN.

The plan of reconstruction presented
by Mr.. Stewart of Nevada, in the Sen
ate, and which was so favorably received
by Mr.. Sumner and his friends, and
which caused SO much surprise, falling
as 1t did like a bombshell in the camp
of the radicals" because coming from
Mr.. Stewart, who had not acted with the
majority of the Republican party here
to!ore, is very simple one indeed, and
proposes to cut the Gordian knot with
ont wasting time ia the useless attempt
to undo it. 1t can be stated in a nut
shell. The question of negro suffrage
shall be submitted to the Southern
States, with the understanding that if
they adopt to give equal rights to the
eolored population, then Congress will
authorize universal amnesty, and re-
store all who were in the rebellion to
their civil rights, and admit the Senators
and Representatives that may be elected,
no matter what their antecedents. This
is simple enough, and can be understood
by all. But what surprised the friends
Of negro suffrage most was, that Mr..
Stewart should have kept this great
remedy for all our ills to himself, until
lie read it in the Senate, and that
he should not have consulted any one
in regard to it. Now, be it known,
that Mr.. Stewart is the son-in.law and
disciple of Henry S. Foote, thegreat agi-
tator in the Congress of the Southern
Confederacy, and the ideas contained in
this compromise have, on several occa-
sions, been given to the world by that
gentleman, who is an advocate for negro
suffrage. Putting that and this together
1t would not be very strange if Mr.,
Stewart were indebted to his distinguish
ed father-in-law for the draft of this Sc
ries of compromise resolutions, who sent
them on by mail ready made up. Such
things might be. We do not say, how
ever, that Mr.. Foote did project this
basis OF settlement; but only suggest
that there is remarkable concurrence
OF ideas between the old politician of
California and Mississippi, and the young
politician-the husband of his daughter
from Nevada. AS Mr.. Stewart is q
staunch friend of the President, perhaps
Mr.. johnson had some hand in the
"oombshell resolutions" If SO, the
South would be bound to accept the
bitter as the pill might be
to the palate. But we shall see in time.
what will come of the Stewart project
