Among the Players.

A New York correspondent of the Provi-
dence Press writes:
'The Metropolitan Hotel is favorite resort,
and after rehearsal is over, groups OF dramatic
celebrities will be congregated there. There
are several clubhouse. also in the city, devoted
more or less 10 actors and theatrical workers.
Actors generally are very social, and like the
good things Of life. They spend freely, and,
with exceptions, are constitutionally 'shard up."
Salaries in most cases are ample. Leading
stock actors average hundred dollars a week,
and find their wardrobe. The pay of others
varies from twenty-five to seventy-five dollars.
Some leading "stars," who hail from New
York, make large amounts. Maggie Mitchell,
the petite, the charming, clears about eleven
hundred dollars weekly through the season.
The sprightly Lolita trlfie more. Barney
Williams and wife make a cool thousand a
week. The Florenoes average seven hundred.
Edwin Forrest get five hundred dollars night,
and furnishes Miss Lille and Barton Hill as
support. John Broughsn is good tor an
average OF eight hundred week, but does not
work as steadily as others. He had also nice
income from his plays Edwin Booth has made
two thousand dollars weekly this season. his
popularity is very great in the West. Mrs
Bowers netted seven thousand dollars from her
last New York engagement, and Two thousand
from her engagement at her sisters theatre IN
Brooklyn, soon alter. Mrs. Lander is doing
we'll, but not half as we'll as she merits. Chan
frau has played to capital business this summer.
lie took four thousand dollars from this city
recently. It is we'll known to professionals that
good, lively, dashing sensations pay now, II
enacted with any degree of excellence, and
stars WHO have made two or three marked
peculiar characters all their own, and perform
them With spirit, gather in harvest OF green
backs"
OYSTERS SUN-DR1ED. We have several
times mentioned the oysters Of West Mexico,
onthe Eastern Gulf coasts, as being much used
round Guaymas, and other Sonora towns, in a
dried state-i c., desicated in the sun like
California charqui or hung beef. From our
shipping reports it appears the Mexican steam
eers, during the past twelve months, have
brought up to San Francisco one or two hun
dred bales of this article, and we suppose the
trade must be now we'll inaugurated, as the ar
tcle would not be brought to California if they
We're not eatable and in demand; and it is we'll
known they are in common use in the large
towns of Sonara, Durango, and Jalisco, every
Year during the season of Lent, and from an
Gent times in those countries. The oysters
from the Bay Of Fonseca, are also dried in this
way, and form a regular article of trade to the
upland towns of Central America There are
also stated to be good oysters in abundance in
50 some OF the small coves of the bay of Panama.

Election Order of Gen. mes d,

NEW YORK, April 13.-The Tribune's
special from Atlanta 1lth, says: An i'm
portant order was promulgated to-day by
Gen. Meade, relative to the approaching
election in this State. The General says: {:
First, That as numerous designations of
Sheriffs in Georgia are rendered, on the
eve OF an important election, when there is
no time to make new appointments, such
designations will not be accepted. Sheriffs
who have been so long in office at the s1f-
ferance of the commanding General. will
not be permitted to resign until after the
election, and the faithful performance of
their duties will be required, under pain of
trial by military commission.
Second, AS many electors are necessa-
rily dependent upon another class for en-
ployment to earn their daily bread for
their families, and asnumerous complaints
have been made that such laborers are to
be intimidated from voting by fear of loss
of employment, employers are forbidden
to control the voting of laborers by threats
of discharge or by other oppressive means,
and they are told that any offense of this
kind is punishable OH conviction before a
military commission.
Third, 1t is the duty and desire of the
commanding General to secure to voters
an opportunity to vote freely and without
restraint, fear or influence of fraud. There
fore, all good citizens are called upon to
cooperate in efforts to have the election
conducted fairly, as required by law.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The Herald's

miral Farragut has arrived here on the
flag ship Franklin, accompanied by the

marked attention and courtesy by the au-
thorities and inhabitants. He is to visit

Uneasiness in France-Applfcation
for citizenship in the United States.
PARIS, April 13.-La Liberte has another
editorial calculated to allay general discon-
tent and uneasness, which have been in
spired by the recent warlike preparations
of the French Government. The writer
says the United States Legation at Paris is
continually overrun with Frenchmen who
are anxious to escape the military service
to which they are now liable under the
provisions of the new army bill. Knowing
nothing OF the American laws of naturali-
zation, and having only the lately conclud-
ed Prusso-American treaty in their minds,
they are literally besieging the United
States representatives for naturalization
papers. OF course, all the applications
were refused, lacking the five years actual
residence in America, as required by law,

Mr.. BUTLER insisted that he meant no

Mr.. BUTLER insisted that he meant no
sarcasm. and
Mr.. JOHNSON expressed himself satis-
fled. 4ra ~
Mr.. STANBERY continued his argu-
ment in defense of the claim that counsel
had right to continue the examination.
Mr.. BINGHAM followed. In the course
of his argument he said the testimony of
the witness had so far been injurious to the
respondent, and his counsel wished TO
cross-examine him in the hope of eliciting
something better.
Mr.. BINGHAM maintained at some
length that it was in the power of the
President to procure judicial question OF
the Gaze ny means of quo warranto.
Mr.. EVARTS remarked that they were
perfectly satisfied with the evidence given
by the witness.
Mr.. BINGHAM concluded, having spok-
en- with earnestness.
The CHIEF JUSTICE again expressed
the opinion that the witness could answer
Mr.. Johnson's question. Have you an
swered as to both occasions? -
The witness said-At the first interview
nothing very definite was said by the Pres
ident or himself. During the second con-
versation the President expressed wish to
have the constitutionality of the Tenure of
Office law decided. He also said to witness
that if he accepted the position of Secreta-
ry ad interim, Stanton would make no re-
sistanct, because he knew him to be cow
ardly. Witness gave no positive answer ut
the time, but sent it in writing.
Mr.. HENDERSON put the question
Did the President, on either occasion
evince a firm determination to remove
Stanton?
Witness replied that the President never
expressed any intention to use force, but
seemed determined their relations should
cease. S-
Mr.. HOWARD asked. What did the
President say about force?
The witness repeated what he said before
in relation to the President, the belief that
MIR. Stanton would make no resistance.
Mr.. HENDERSON asked whether the
witness gave the President any advice on
this subject?
The Senate, without division, refused to
admit it. ~
The managers notified Gen. Sherman
that they would require his attendance in
the morning, and he left the stand.
Mr.. Meigs was recalled, and produced the
docket-book, from which he read entries
in the Thomas and Stanton case, and the
court, at 4:40, adjourned.
