1t Is well known that some 40 years ago
the canal was almost universally reYa rdsd as
worse than worthless, as & g.ea, uisan cr, and
was declared - be such by the Grand Jury
At that time no one offered TO take th- canal
even As gift, consequently the city was CON-
pelled TO do something with it for the preser-
valion of the public health, and nothing ap-
pearing more feasible than plan published

all apprehension OF danger TO health, and has

also quite plain that all the money required

wounded and dying soldiers are sufioient 70
claim at our hands the most hearty welcome.
Bat Mrs. Lander does not need TO rest her
claims to admiration on her patriotic deeds It
is the possession OF talent OF the most elevated
kind which draws to see her the thousands who
nightly listen TO her voice. No one denies 10
her great ability as an actress. We take it that
1t is universally conceded th at her 'Elizabeth"
one OF the finest, IL not the finest. pieces of
female acting that the American publio has
had an opportunity to witness The character
is one most difficult to accurately portray.
Astounding It does in the exhibition
of opposite passions, the performer runs
the danger Of exceeding the limits OF
nature and making what was n real
character appear monstrous combination
Of contradictions. 1t requires one who can
fully enter into the spirit of the part and catch
the inspiration of the pride, arrogance and
hauteur of the queen, well as the tender sensi-
bilities of the woman. This Mrs Lander has
successfully attempted In her the lovo for
Essex" and the pride which let him die when
she could save him by q word, do not appear
impossible action sor even unnatural. Mrs Lam
der has supplied us with the best commentary
and key TO history within our reach: and after
witnessing her performance; we can under
stand more of the spirit of the Elizabethan era
than by consulting Hume, wading through
Lingard, or studying Froude. She is an
actress in the highest sense OF the word, and
when we say that she has carefully studied all
the surroundings of the age to which she car
rtes us back, and conformed in all parts to its
costumes, we complete our just eulogy Of her
play Of "Elizabeth."
We notice a number of minor errors In the
historical truth of the subordinate characters,
but her transoendant personation overshadows
all else, and places the play among the most
instructive as well as interesting on the Ameri-
can stage.

Mrs. Lander as " Elizabeth, !"

The short engagement commenced at the
Academy OF Music last night by Mrs
General Lander, in which she personates the
character Of the "Virgin Queen" promises, by
its suspicious commencement, to be as brill
liant as the warmest admirers of the lady could
desire. crowded house and excellent support
lent their aid to call forth the highest genius
OF the talented arttste, and in the rendition she
surpassed herself
Mrs. Lander has many claims to the good
will and kindly sympathy of the American
public beside her talent, which is of the highest
order. The loyal heart of the North has not
forgotten the circumstances which made Miss
Jean Davenport change her name. The
record OF her sufferings for the cause OF the
Union is too recent to be forgotten. Her cease

liberality, which ruined her handsome fortune,

and privilege. Every Southerner who is stir
a Rebel and prOslavery man at heart, belongs
with that party; but every Southerner, no
matter what his former position, who has dis
oarded all suoh nonsense, and believes in the
perpetuity of free principles for the future, be-
longs with the Republicans. Weshall, therefore,
una not only the colored citizens as body sup
porting the Republican party at the South,
but thousands of the shrewdest and most far
seeing Of the whites, including many who
were prominent in the Rebellion and were
once pro-slavery men. They see that the Re-
bellion and slavery and State sovereignty are
things Of the past, settled by the mighty con-
test through which the nation has fought its
way. They give up the dead issue, and turn
to the opening future. All this class of men
must act with the Republicans because TO 20
with the Democracy is simply to engage in
reactonary struggle for what they Justly re-
gard as 'lost cause"
The Southern outlook for the Republicans
is therefore most promising. The field is in
viting. 1t should be titled by wise husband
men, for it promises a golden harvest. And
in this view, the recent appeal of the Republi-
can National Committee should meet with
prompt and generous response from all who
have the best interests of the South at heart.
