The principal difficulty with Italian opera
in this country seems to be to get complete

ager has star pyi,n0 donna or tenor he is
sure to be weak in the contralto, basso or
chorus and if the latter is satisfactory, we
are afflicted with broken down voices in the
leading roles. 1t Is impossible to remedy this
difficulty by bringing all the artists Of COM

well attempt the responsibility of the national
debt as to Gil up company on the other side
of the Atlantic with the proper materials and
then bring them over here for an entire season.
Why not, then, make use of the splendid mate
rails for Italian opera that may be found In
this city! We have as fine artists here as they
can produce in Europe, but their claims are
ignored for every foreign adventurer that
comes to our shores. A6elina and Carlotta Patti
and Kellogg have thoroughly convinced opera
goers in Europe that we can surpass the Old
World in singers as well as iron-clads, sewing
machines, pianos and big guns The former

The SHERMAN AND HENDERSON FINANCIAL
BuLs.-The financial bills of Senators Sherman
and Henderson have been reported favorahy
upon by the Finance Committee OF the Senate,
and are now before the Senate waiting to be
called up as sson as the debate on the Recon-
structon bill shall be closed These bills have
been modified since they were originally intro
doced, but there are still very Objectionable
features in hem. We viii say, however, that
this Is not the time to legislate upon
such an iraportans matter. The political situa-
ton and affairs Of the country, with the very
exciting Presidential contest now opening, will
occupy the attention of Congress and the pub
lie to The exclusion Of almost everything else.
We can get along very well with our financial
afairs, flet alone, till after the Presidential
election, aad nothing should be done with them
in the meantime. They cannot have proper
consideration before. After the election and
the political excitement are over there will be
ample time for due consideration of the weighty

Progress of Congressional Reconstruction
South.

The Congressional policy of reconstruction
present. Alabama has been voting on the
new constitution for several days past, and,
taking the votes polled thus far as basis of
calculation, it is not unlikely the measure will
be defeated by lacking some twenty or twenty
five thousand ballots of the necessary number
to insure ratification. In some districts the
whites RETAINED from voting altogether, except
where. white radicals were nominated for
Office There the candidates unanimously
voted for themselves, to the number Of sixteen
in ono instance Unless General Meade extends
still further the time for voting the Alabama
constitution may be said to have gone by the
board, and il is a question whether an extern
sion will much enhance, its prospects of sue
cess ultimately. Congress, however, may come
in and help the Alabama radicals out OF their
slough.
The Florida Convention has framed new
constitution in secret session, without o
quorum Of members II is literally "dark

The South Carolina conventonists are in o
joyful mood, having had their board bills paid
and their pocketbooks lined afresh. The black
members are very gay and Pompeyish.
The conventions in Virginia, North Carolina,

ehe Dominion Of Canada.

The people Of Nova Scotia cannot make up
their minds to accept q second hand mon
archy on any terms, and 1t seems that their
objections to 1t are taking a very positive form
and are making themselves heard in the local
Legislature. They propose to forward On
address to the Queen declaring that "they do
not desire to be in any manner confederated
with Canada, and praying her Majesty 10
revoke her proclamation and cause the British
repealed, as far as regards the province Of
Nova Scotia" This is clear enough, and is but
natural. Opposition to the confederated
Dominion, and Of the most positive character,
is necessary result of the facts involved in
the existence Of that queer quasi monarchy.
The countries of British North America have
held an anomalous political position ever since
the days when they refused to enter into our
Union as sister States. They have seen their
near neighbors on this side of the border leave
them far behind in q career of grand material
progress-seen the American people grow in
wealth, intelligence and strength. while they
remained stationary. This contrast in situation
HAS CauSou tue CROWN OF tue party tIlaI
had for its ultimate idea the bringing of those
provinces into this Union-the more liberal
Canadians, all the old French Canadians, all
the Irish element of the mixed life Of the
provinces But this party never yet grow
strong enough to put aside tho cause that
originally kept the provinces separate from us
and keeps them separate still. This was the
one idea ofloyalty to the British throne. That
was the power that successfully opposed the
tendency toward the States, and nov the
imperial government steps in and does what it
may to destroy the power of that idea of
loyalty. 1t loosens the hold that kept the
provinces from coming over. The loyalty felt
toward the British throne cannot be trans
ferred to delegated Power sot up in the
Dominion, and the next idea, therefore, is the
United States and material progress. This
is felt throughout the Dominion, and now. as
we see, very actively in Nova Scotia, perhaps
because the people there do their own think
ing more than in some other of the provinces.
Nova Scotia will hold by the old loyalty as
she protests; but If that must be given up she
will have no bogus throne, but must gravitate
toward the United States. In this she points
the real political future of the Dominion.
