THE DRAMA.
pT,TnpI IN GAMMA.


Madam Rstori appearedlast evening at the French
Theatcr in "a new character-that of Gamma in
threc-act tragedy written expressly for her
by Sinor Giuseppe Montanelh. Her audience
was small but enthusiastic. Its enthusiasm,
however, evidently called iorth Dy, !he
actress and not by the play. Gamma I'M
presses II, as being elaborate piece OF solemn
nonsense. IL contains remarkably strong part Tor
Madam Ristor though, and TO that part she did en-
tire Justice We shall recur TO her acting when more
at leisure. She was last evening called before THO
curtain at the end of each act. -Four other perform
es take part in the tragedy, exclusive OF the druid
esses and other walking auXiliaries These latter APP
peared to consider themselves ridiculous, and they
certainly were not mistaken. Ihe stage manage,
ment il excessively bad at the French Theater, and
some of Madam Ristor's best effects are marred by
inefficency in the stage accessories Sgnor eileen,
n long and severe illness. Gamma VIII be repeated
on Monday evening. To-day, at a Matinee Madam
Rstori Will enact Mary Stuart.

1t is plain from Mr.. Wellss showing that our
manufactures have increased, and that new
industries have called new hands to work. The
prospect is not, therefore, so hopeless that
high tariff, n wise distribution of our taxes
and an early resumption, would not dissipate
the evils dreaded.
The Commissioners general conclusion on
the subject of tariff is that the duty on raw
materials should be reduced within the mini
mum of the necessities of the Treasury. The
duty on Canadian lumber might be reduced
he thinks, with great benefit to the country
since its only effect has been to increase the
price of lumber. On the great woolen interest
he holds that the wool grower will be best
benefited by favoring the manufacturer
and after showing to his own satisfaction
that the present depression in tho wool
trade is owing in great measure to cotton, he
fayors n reduction of the duties on cOmbng
wool. This will be agreeable to the manufactures.
Finally, he favors such reduction on raw
materials rs the revenue can bear. On these
points much remains TO be said For the pres
cnt. we dismiss the Commissioners report with
the comment that it is elaborate, if not salts

HOU TIE SOUTH STANDS.

We are sorry for the Southern States. Their
people may feel more keenly than we of the
North, but cannot regret more sincerely, tho
wrctched condition To which they have been
reduced by the war. But great as their trials
are, there is one blessing for which they would
be thankful if they could be taught to under
stand it. They have been depressed by the
failure Of the Rebellion; had it succeeded, they
would have been ruined.
Even if we could believe that the majority
of the Southern peoplc-of course including
the freedmen, who should never be omitted
from that category-quietly rejoice that the
Rebellion failed. we know that the politicians
bitterly lament it, The blcssngw was forced upon
them, and they accept 1t with reluctance. To us,
the greatest misfortune of the South is the con
troll of her Legislatures which these men have
obtained They repeat in 1856 the blunder
of 1860. The boundless ignorance of forces
and resources which led them into war against
the United States has scarcely been lcssened,
and takes a new form in stubborn resistance to
inevitable results. A Napoleon or Bismarck
might save the Southern States from the penal
ties of rebellion, but not from the results OF
revolution; it is not even in the power OF
the North to eXtinguish the social and
political reforms which began with the aboll-
ton of Slavery. They have passed beyond the
jurisdiction of Presidents OF Congresses, and
must go on to their appointed ends. who
shall be wiser than God, stronger than destiny y
The Southern Legislatures yainly reject the
terms of Congress, and denounce the main
principles of the Constitutional Amendment as
insulting. That which is good In that measure
must become a part of the Constitution, and
the North, even il it desired, could not pre-
vent IT,.
Rather than accept these terms, the Gov
ernors and Legislatures of the South declare
their readiness TO stay ont of Congress indef-
initcly. The presiding officers of the Georgia
Assembly prefer Territorial Government TO the
Amendment, and many of the influential jour
mails sustain them. The Loyal States they say
have offered nothing fit for Rebels to accept
On their part, with commendable good taste,
they have declined to propose any plan of re-
construction, unless wo except Gov. Worth's
ironical that Congress- dis
tribute the freedmen among the Northern
States, or the suggestion that n National Con-
vention should be held to supcrsedo Congress
But these are unimportant exceptions and do
not change the fact that the Rebel States have
adopted a do-nothing, accept-nothipg policy,
and, protesting to have no voice in the matter,
expect to tire the loyal people into. acquies-
cence in their original demand for representa-
ton without any conditions, and irresponsible
control over the future Of the blacks. Prob
ably we can stand it as long as they can.

the American silk manufacturer There is sad
answer TO this question in the following letter
from Paterson, n j.: "In this city alone there
are employed in silk spinning and manutac-
turing over 5000 hands and S3,@2O,OVO OF
"capital. The establishments, when fully en-
"ployed, will turn ont every month S446OO
"worth of goods. But what are they doing
Nearly all the large factories are standing
" idle, representing invested capital of not less
" than S2,0OO000, and not less than 1000 hands,
"whO have been working at this branch of
"busncss, are entirely unemployed, and that in
"the depth of severe Winter. Out of ID
"diffcrent silk firms in Paterson, there is
"not one making full time, and al of them
"face the almost certain prospect Of being
"compelled to close entirely. The Tariff bill
"passed by the House of Rcprcsentae
"tiycs last Summer, if passed by the SEN
cate, would speedily set Om mills going
"again. Right after that bill was voted by the
Representatives, there sprng mp feel
cling of certainty that the Senate would
"do something for the trade and give this IN
Giant branch of industry the protection which 1t
"clearIy deserves. Under this feeling there was
"stalted in Paterson an entirely new branch-the
"sands of dollars were invested init. The import
GERS, without single exception, assert for the
American made silk gloves, that they are fully
"e0ual to any made in Europe-but under the
Glow rates of the existing tariff ours cannot
"possibly compete with theirs. We entreat
"you TO demand immediate justice to the n-
"employed working people Of Paterson, and to
"the capitalists who put their fortunes into silk
"works with the confidence that their Govern
"mcnt would protect an industry from which
cit expected to derive revenue"
That was the implied contract between you
and your Government, and it ought to be
carried out. And there was an older cor
tract between the Government and the
worlingmen- when they found labor
to do that would support them and
add to the national wealth. the Government
would see that strangers did not come and
drive them away from it, and send them of to
sit down idle. This contract with the Pater-
son silk spinners and weavers has been broken.
The past in politics is beyond recall. But,
if the Government is just, it will begin
the new year with justice to American
industry, by giving it Protection, square
ND TO the difference between wages here and in
Europe, between the cost of living here and
there, between the burden of taxes here and
there, and between the interest of money here
and there. That protection would be just.
More, the American wOrlihgmen do not ask
less. their representatives in Congress ought
not TO offer, and less the People will not ac-

The House of Representatives last Summer
called upon the Secretary of War for state
ment of the sums expended for the "suppres-
sion of Indian hostlities" during the years 1854
and 1865, and Mr.. Stanton has recently sub
mitted report in compliance with their de-
mand. From this exhilarating dOcu-
ment we learn that the disburse-
ments in 1854 amounted to S074,7S5 50,
and in 1865 to S2O,75G157 "a or in round num-
bers, thirty millions and half in two years
Add to this snug little sum trifle more
than eight millions expended during the same
period in annuities and similar contiv
ances for bribing Indians t0 keep the
peace, and you have tOlerable idea of the
cost, in Government money, of keeping up our
present Indian system. But the cost in Gov
eminent money is probably the least part Of the
expense. The animals driven off, the crops and
settlements destroyed and the emigrants mur-
dered by the sayagcs, must also be Teck-
oned, and of these we have no ac-
curate account Or, look at the matter in
another light. The operation Of "suppressing"
Indian hOstlities has cost the red men about
500 lives in two years; so that the expense of
killing each savage is little over SG1,000
We certainly pay literally enough for the work
to have it well done. Can't the House of Rep
resentatiyes find out why it is done so badlyf

The French papers publish the report on the
financial situation of the country addressed by
Mr.. Fould, the Minister of Finance to the En-
peror. 1t embraces the Budgets of the years
1885, 1866 1867, and 1868. As is usual with the
French state papers, the report is distinguished
for brillancy of style, and will not fail to find
millions of readers. 1t is, however, sharply
criticised by all the independent papers Of
France, which particularly point to Fould's
discussion of the army reorganization
plan as though it were but an insignificant
item. This plan continues to cause the most
profound excitement throughout the country.
The most prominent supporters of the Imperial
policy vie with the Liberals in opposing it,
and predict disastrous consequences if the Gov
eTnment should insist on carrying it through.
