HE GERMAN OPERA Martha is a favor
lite opera here, and never fails in this CITY. as
IN Boston, TO draw crowded houses Notwith-
standing the rain last night, the National The
ater was filled with a large and fashionable
auHlenee. who were well satisfied with the
performance. Mad. Johannsen, in the title
role, seemed TO be la5oring under some disad-
vantage, and hardly sang with her usual spirit
and feeling: but she Is a true artist of boron Oh
cultivation and correct taste, and generally
manages to please. FrederIoi was as usual
charming in 1" Nancy" and suns and acted her
part with due degree of vivacity. Lotti was
very acceptable as Lionel" and sung the beam
tfula touching airs which belong TO that part
with great feeling; while weinlieh did much
better as :. Plunkett'' than those who did not
know his power expected. The ehorusses
Were given with spirit. and the performance
s. whole was not unworthy the reputation
OF this troupe, which. under Mr Growers
management, has Won warm praise in ali the
large cities.
As some dissatisfaction has been expressed

MORE VOTING PRECINCTS

II was fully expected that the City Councils
would on Monday night last perfect bill pro
yidiug greater facilIues for the accommodation
Of voters at the coming election. A bill for this
purpose passed the Board of Aldermen some
weeks sgo, but has not been acted upon in the
lower Board; and the delay is causing con-
siderable heated remark, upon the theory that
the hope Of gaining political advantages in
duces nOn-actiOn upon the bill in that Board.
We presume there can be no truth in tins sup
position. Doubtless the lower Board proposes
TO act seasonably upon the matter, after giving
IL consideration: but there is very little time
now 70 lose. and any party responsible for
failing to remedy the defective voting facilities
OF last year will deserve TO be beaten.
- Since writing the above, we have heard it
stated that members of the committee of the
lower Board, TO whom the bill was referred,
hsvs avowed purpose not to take action upon
IL prior 10 the election. We cannot believe ii
possible, however, that sensible men will be so
blind as TO adopt so stupid q scheme of party
tactics. Last year hundreds of citizens, after
standing in the broiling sun for hours in line,
were finally unable to deposit their ballots in
consequence of the inadequacy of the voting
accommodations. Under the circumstances it
was a matter Of special congratulation that the
day passed of without disturbance; for il is a
grievance well calculated to arouse the an ger
of the most patient and law -abidiag Of Amer
lean citizens TO be debarred from exercising the
right OF suffrage in this wholesale manner Last
wear the system of voting was an experimental
one and on being tested was found to be utterly
insufficient. Nobody supposed that there would
be one moments delay in remedying defects so
notorious. The bill passed by the Board of
Aldermen provides for not less than six or
more than eight polling places in each ward;
and other provisions are made to insure access
20 the polls TO every voter. The bill a passed
by the Aldermen has received the unanip Gus
approval OF the Registers of Election, who are
certainly the best judges of what is needed,
and with this endorsement we do not think the
Council can go very far amiss in passing it in
its present shape.
