GROSS 1MMoDEsTY OF MODERN PLAYS.

The New York correspondent of the Mobile Register,
writes thus of tho character of the two most attractive
operate spectacular plays which are rendered IN the
leading theatres OF that city. He says:
1t was said of Saurin, the infamous creature who
was worshipped as the Goddess of Reason at Notre
Dame during the Reign Of Terror that she asked the
baet-master of the grand opera if he could design
costume for her more indecent than simple nudity,
declaring that should he succeed in so doing, she
would wear 1t. The balletmaster answered that he
would try, and Gouverneur Morris, writing to Mr..
Jefferson from Paris at that day, narrates that his
success complete Saurin' toilette has survived
the boueversement of the French Revolution All who
have Gceceue de Brabant at the French Theatre
will acknowledge that nakedness would be far more
decent than the costumes of the principal characters
in that extravaganza. AS consequence Grau has for
the moment triumphed over Bateman In the Grand
DuctesSe Grau's company failed to reach the extreme
of ndecorum displayed in Tostee's can-can but they
make ample amends in the pie scene of Ceneriere.
Gr0g1n tRose BELIEF whose dress is marvel of i'm
modesty, makes pate aphrodsiac for SiafrOtd,
but perhaps had better not pursue the plot which
certainly could not be explained to lady companion
at the theatre without insulting her. The scenery.
singing orchestral accompaniment OF the new bou6e
admirable in their way; the costumes, such as
they are. superb; the situations when not thor
oughly abominable are thoroughly amusing; on the
whole Generiere is likely to run brilliantly through
the winter, unless the Belle Helene at Pixies Opera
House shall assume an additional lewdness of effect
heretofore uRknown 10 a New York audience. At
what point the police viii interfere ia the interests OF
public morals is beyond conjecture.

Cincinnati on the afternoon tran and in due time

The clerk replied that everything matrimonial

THE DEMOCRATIC MISTAKE

II was evident TO all experienced politicians
that the Democratic party made a terrible and
unaeeountable blunder when 1t nominated a
candidate for the Presidency of the objection
able war record OF HOratio Seymour, upon a
piatform worded to suit Wade Hampton,
Ioombs, and Forrest. The endorsement by
the Democracy of the Blair-Broadhead letter
oy the nomination Of Its author for the Vice
Presidency, sealed the doom of the party for
this campaign at least. That the leaders of
that party now realize their fatal error Is shown
by the remarkable article IN the New York
World Of this morning, an abstract of which
appears in our kilograms The World recon-
mends the withdrawal of the Democrats can
didates and the nomination of men who
can hope successfully to compete for
the sUfTages of the Union voters of the
country. As in the French revolution,
however, the answer will be, "too late -
No manipulation Of tickets by the Democrats
can save them from defeat in November nex:.
