GENERAL BLAIR AS OLIVER CROMWELL
Some Of the radical journals affect to be very
much alarmed in contemplating the possibility
of the elevation of General Blair to the White
House, inasmuch as he has promised, if Presi-
dent, to overturn ali these negro radical State
governments of the South and to turn out
this radical Congress at the point of the bayo-
net, or by "push Of pike after the good old
fashion of Oliver Cromwell. But to get Gene
raj Blair in this position to play ''Old Noll'
the democratic ticket must first be elected and
then Mr.. Seymour, elected President, must re-
sign; neither of which contingencies seems very
likely to happen, from present appearances.
Nor can we imagine, ii from The chapter Of
accidents General Blair were to get into the
White House, that be would be such donkey
as to attempt the role Of Cromwell or anything
Of the sort. He is one Of those snap and fash
politicians who say a great deal more than
they mean, while Grant is one Of that order
who mean a great deal MORE than they say.
Words may mean something or nothing, but
by the acts of men we can pretty safely Judge
them. On this test there is nothing very
alarming in the record Of General Blair.

TIE REPORTED THIRD PARTY CHASE MOVE
MENT.-There are various rumors aaoat from
who do not like Seymour, and certain republi-
can conservatives who do not like TO play
second fiddle to the radicals, have been sounding
Mr.. Chase upon the proposition TO run him as
a third party candidate, and that he has no
ever, that this is a republican device to kill of
both Chase and Seymour by knocking their
heads together, and that the Chief Justice has
no notion Of going into such profitless con-
aict BY holding of he may come up as the
very man of all men for the crisis in 1872, and
this, VIC doubt not, is his decision upon tho
subject.

THE LIQUOR DEALERS CHEATED. The DEM
ocrats last year secured the support of the
liquor dealers generally Of the city and State
upon the strength Of the great things promised
in the way of free liquor 10 the event Of the
success of the democracy in the State election.
On these premises they carried the State by
some ffty thousand majority, they got de-
cided democratic majority in the Assembly,
and If they had desired it they could have
managed the Senate on this liquor question.
They made some show, too, ola purpose to do
something in behalf Of free liquor but they
did nothing, aud the tipplers of whiskey and
the lovers OF lager we're all cheated But do
they intend TO be cheated again1 That is
the question

son, it is said, proposes to bring his company
from London aud to venture at the Academy
of Music upon the experiments which have
proved fatal to 40 many directors of the italian
opera IN this city, confident that with Nilsson,
Tietjen, Trebei,,;, 4onglni, Arditi and Kellogg
he may have chance of escaping the fate Of
his predecessors. But to realize his hopes he
must not only avoid the errors of his predecss-
sors, but withstand the pressure of energetic
competition. Max Strakosch sailed on the 18th
inst. for the purpose of engaging an opera
company for the coming season. Grau is re-
pairing and enlarging the French theatre, while
his agents are securing in Europe artists of the
highest talent, such az Rose Bell aud Carrier
and other Illustrations of the opera boute.
Pike is determined that it shall not be for lack
OF money if he fail to engage Schneider herself
and other celebrities of the same order. What
ever the money which he has made by his sue
cessful distillery operations can avail will be
devoted to rendering bis splendid opera house

bouts. Bateman will take time by the fore
lock and inaugurate on the Goth instant, at
Niblos Garden, fresh season. of the opera
boufe, of which he holds himself to be almost
the creator To the attractions of Mile Tost6e
and the celebrated trio, Messrs. Leduc, Lagrif
foul and Duchesne and other members of his
last years troupe, he will add the attractions
of Miles Irma, Lambele, Duclos and Rose, and
Messrs. Aujac, Dardignac, Guidon and Francis
With competitors like Grau aud Bateman and
Pike and Max Strakosch, Mapleson may well
nerve himself to the utmost in order 10 win
success.
