About forty years since the grand opera Of
Othello was given at the Park theatre, with
signof Garcia in the title r6Ie and Malbran ~
the gentle Dssdemona. Both were imperso-
nations rarely witnessed in opera Shak-
speare's wondrous creation Of the jealous, pas
sionate Moor has seldom found more fitting
representative than Garcia. The fiery, pas.
sionate nature Of the son-in-law Of Brabantio
was powerfully and faithfully portrayed. Gar
cia's voice was tessore roblsto, full Of passion
and energy, and his acting may be compared
to that Of the elder Ksan In the same r6le A
fitting, companion picture In Characterization
was Malibran's Desdemona. Nothing could
be more artistic and life-like than her delinea-
ton OF the victim Of frantic jealousy. And
her glorious voice, which will ever ring In the
ears Of the hearers, seemed to u tho very acmo
Of the vocal art
On Wednesday night the same opera was
presented ct one Of our theatres. A new tenor
named Pancani was the Othello; and had
Garcia been present on the occasion he would
have had no fault to find with his substitute.
The new Othello 10 an admirable actor, and
thoroughly enters into the spirit Of Shakspeare's
great creation. He has voice Of considerable
power and dramatic expression, and In tho
more delicate passages he displayed artistic
feeling and thorough training. He completely
identified himself with the character, and united
the rough, blunt nature Of the soldier with the
jealous devotion Of the husband. But where
was the Desdemona Of Malibranf The Desde-
mona ON this occasion was one Of the forty
prime donns Of the present Italian opera troupe,
and the rest OF the cast was made up OF tho
twenty tenon, nfty bassos, and the other
minstrels and Hddlers Of the company.
There is one remark abls feature regarding
the new tenor. The other papers indulge in
lengthy comments on the opera; but they
seem TO be in . middle when they come to
speak of 6ignor PancanL Their efforts to give
an idea of his voice or acting are similar to
the proceedings Of "a bull in china shop"
They do not know what to make of him. They
are 20 accustomed to nfh rate tsnors that
when they meet thorough artist like Pan
cant they can only speak Of him ~ curiosity.
They speak Of his "by-play> and noble mean
iur - but bis dramatic power and delcacy OF
expression are things they know nothing
about. The advent o. such . tenor a. Panoani
Is an event In the annals Of Italian opera In
this country, and may be Of benefit to the
forty prime dome, twenty tsnors and hfty
bassos, who are quite in 6utter about this
terrible rival. We hope his example will do
this long abused department Of the lyric art
some service and elevate It to the position Il
commands.

The general fall openings Of the New York
and Brooklyn milliners took place yesterday.
The weather was nne, and the display Of
bonnets, cloaks and dress goods completely
bewildering. The ladies were out In strong
force and made o reconnaissance Of the
latest styles. The increase In trade this fall
is q cheering prospect for merchants and mil
liners, and their stock Is more extensive and
varied than ever before. Every establishment
Of any note has laid in an immense supply OF
goods for the season, encouraged by the bright
indications that appear on the business hori-
zon. There are but few changes in fall
fashions this season. The principle that "revo-
buttons never 90 backward" il carried out in
dresses. The reign of crinoline is over, and
its dominions, like those Of the Pope, are con-
siderably reduced in size. Bonnets, after
being driven forward on the head by the sd-
yancing chignon until there was danger Of
thoss feariuily and wonderfully made head
pieces falling over the nose, have thrown up .
rampant as barrier against the encroaching
chiQuon. This rampant the modistes call dia-
dem The crowns are somewhat larger than
the microscopic affairs of the summer. The
fall cloaks will be adorned with trimmings or
figures that look like hieroglyphics, propo-
sltions in Euclid and Japanese official docu-
mcnts. Altogether, the fall styles are very
original and striking, and the ladies will have
plenty OF occupation to select the most be-
coming for themselves

The negro sS,remacy views Of Congress viii
be carried into prac,..eal effect in the State Of
Louisiana to-day. Fro& early dawn this
morning until dusk tomorrow evening eighty
three thousand semi-savages will % up to the
polls, led by unprincipled white men, Sna cy
sheer force Of numbers sweep from power the
wealth and intelligence of the State. The
thity-ave or forty thousand whites who have
been permitted to register will, We are told,
content themselves with simply depositine
their votes against convention" thus pro-
testing against the execution Of political
doctrine they had no power to avert and the
success 6: which they feel assured will entail
irreparable injury upon themselves and their
posterity.
The call for convention having thus been
carried by the negro hordss, let US see Of what
material the convention itself will be COM
posed. Not prominent Louisianian viii be
there not q man Of standing In the COM
munity. The republican nominees, who will
certainly be elected, stand as four negroes to
three white men-four illiteratc, semi-bar-
barous negroes to three white adventurers.
This, then, will be the composition Of the
convention called to frame constitution for
the State that gave Taylor for President Of
the United States. Is not this entire thing
utterly revolving? Can we OF the North pala-
tably swallow SO gigantic fraud upon right
and so beastly caricature upon human lib
ertyf Forty-fve or fifty negroes assembling
in convention to do-whati To perform an
act Of the very meaning Of which they are
most ludicrously ignorant And who are their
assistantsi A handful of white men, whose
very course in consenting to such an afaIiation
stamps their characters as being thoroughly
worthless.
There is one instinct which cannot be eradi-
Gated from the mind of white man. and that
is, the succor and supremacy OF his race above
all others. Prejudice against color is but the
natural instinct Of the superior against con-
tamination, and, try what theorists may, the
barriers which caste Tin that sense) has
erected, can never be broken through sue
cessfully. The present farce In Louisiana
will be successful for while, but the signs of
the times too plainly indicats that the hour
is approaching when 1t and all other kindred
dogmas will be swept away in the torrent Of
public indignation. We cannot stand quietly
by and witness the debasement Of our own
race in Louisiana. California, Connecticut and
Maine have already rebuked the effort at negro
supremacy before its practical effects have
been seen. And we tell the radicals Of these
United States that their cheers Of Joy at the
success Of their dogmas in Louisiana this
day will be answered back by the people
Of the loyal North, in October and November
next, in such tones Of indignation and disgust
q will inform the world whether our recent
war was fought for the preservation Of the
Union, or for the exaltation Of the negro and
the enlargement of men Of our own color.

ssThe republic was almost extinct" This is
Mr.. Roscoe Conkling's account Of the coudi-
ton Of the country at the commencement Of
the war. It il good idea from United
States Senator. 1.-THE republic was almost ex-
tinct," yet it loaned to . corrupt government
more than two thousand millions Of dollars,
and supplied nearly two millions Of men for
the defence Of Its liberties.

were confined to these two candidates
the people would take about the same
interest in the result a. the old woman
felt in the contest between her husband
and the bear, and would care very little
which might whip; but the chances are
that the independent voters will unite on John
Anderson, and by electing him in December
will give Is severe rebuke to municipal mis-
government and ring bargaining as, by the
election of the democratic State ticket In No
vember, they will administer to the party of
Puritanical despotism and negro supremacy.
Roscoe Cenklins's speech. with Notes and
Comments.
Mr. Roscoe Conkling, United States Senator
in the republican party-made aspeech in the
republican Convention which was naturally
very great speech. In this speech the Senator
presented himself to the small politicians
gathered al the Convention as very Triton of
the minnows in knowledge, sagacity and roar
ing rhetoric. Like another eloquent man, ne
"roamed with old Romulus, soaked with old
Socrates, and ripped with old Euripides;" but
what is most remarkable in his speech Is not
the schoolboy fume and fustian OF his SEN
tences-not even the evident requirement OF
the orator that people should look at him very
hard because he was doing something wonder
ful-but the skill with which he managed to
- 20 ha vrQ-
tended to state. He can rattle this prattle out
Of his mouth, no doubt, as the fellows in the
pantomime do blue tape, in illimitable guam
tity, and We may safely say that there wouldn't
be two inches OF truth in ten miles Of bis "elo-
quence." He said that the republican parry
was party Of honest administration and
economy Of public money, while no fact
Of modern times Is SO obvious to the
world o. that the party now in power
is the most corrupt. and extravagant
party that ever was in power-the most shame
less in it, support and encouragement Of public
robbers. No more impudent falsifcation was
ever put in print than this orators pretence
that "the republican party saved the country"
The people saved the country in defiance Of all
parties; and at the very commencement OF tho
quarrel the more defined leaders of the repub-
lican party, such % Horace Greeley, wanted
to let the, Union 60 to pieces. 1t was only
whom the uprising Of the people warned the
party leaders-republican a. well a. demo-
crat-that they gave up their partisan plans
and accepted the peoples plans. Under
the republican administration, says this sopho-
morical ignoramus, government was recreated
and efficiently administered in all it, branches,
impossibilities trampled down." &C., &c. The
truth is that the republican administration was
the drag that prevented the proper progress Of
the war, and republican party jealousies and
ambitions made ell the delays that gave the
rebellion its real life. The real history of the
party in the early years Of the war will show
that but for delays Of purely partisan CHAR
acter the rebellion might have been put down
