Miss Kellogg i'm "La Gazza Ladrasp' "a
IoudOu.
[rrom the London Times. May 1e.l

From the London Times May 1911
Mile. Clara Louisa Kellogg Ia entitled TO tne thanks
Of all who admire the legitimate Italian school Of
operatc music for having been the yeans OF ena-s
bling Mr.. Mapleson 10 revive the picturesque and
charming "Gazza Ladra" OF Rossin., which, since
Mile. Patti played Nineta at Coven, Garden Qso3,,
has been banlshed from our stage. = But the
central ngure OF ia Gazza Ladrar-the figure Ia
which the chief interest reposes-is OF course, MIN
eta. The part was, we understand, wholly strange
to Nile Kellogg; and II that be so II is merely an-
other proof furnished Of the young Americans sim
gular quckness and intelligence. Her performance
the first night very good, on the second lar bet
ter. The music take It altogether, scarcely suite
her so we'll as the music OF other operas In which
she has been heard with unqualified satisfaction; she
has neyertheless mastered It completely. Her i'm
personation OF NInetta throughout shows what ap
parent in every character she has hitherto assayed
that she has formed conception for herself and enc
bodied II with scrupulous consistency and truth. ,
There il not more thoughtful artist on the stage
than this lady, and her Ninetta Is only another ex-
annie of IT, The idea which Nile Kellogg makes
dominant over all IL that Of nal anection and thia
she works out with consummate skill. Her tenSl-
epcy is plainly realistic; and thus, az she nev0e
allows us 10 forget that Zerllna In merely peasaDt
so abe never allows to forget that Nnetta Ia melv
n servant But without adding q word, we mar say
that this new assumption OF Mile. Kellogg's Ps an
hoporably earned success and her NDetta will be al
wavs welcome TO the public, much for Its own sake
as or that OF he beautiful music II has belped to
rescue from oblivion II treat to hesr the pic
tureeaue overture and the tunefu and viz orous ChO-
ruses of this genuine opera executed es they were

Miss WINNIE REAM AND THE IMPEACHMENT. -
From debate the other day in Congress on
Wooley, 1t appears that certain Miss Winnie
Ream, very worthy young lady, was, during
the progress of the impeachment, reported to
certain radicals as using her influence with
Senator Ross in favor of Andrew Johnson and
that her influence over that Senator was re-
garded Of such importance by the Hon. Mr..
Julian that he thought it proper to have talk
with her on the subject; but that being assured
by her that Senator Ross would vote for con-
yiction, Mr.. Julians mind was made easy. and
80 be gracefully retired. Here is hint for
Robespierre Butler. Let him consider the
question how far the ladies have exercised
their powerful influence in the Presidents favor
and against him, and he may get upon line
of evidence decidedly more interesting than
that Of Thurlow Weed for do we not know
that from the time of General Jackson the
ladies at Washington have broken up Cabi-
nets and made Presidents and cast them out :

SAN FRANCISCO May 2S, 1868.
The United States steamer Lackawanna arrived
here to-day from the Sandwich Islands. She Is re-
ported as having left Honolulu because of the int-
nation that the King regarded her presence as
menace. Considerable sensitveness prevails in
certain circles In Honolulu relative to American
doings
The smoke from the Hawaiian volcano still fills
the air for several hundred miles at sea.

GENERAL GRANTS SILENT AND SUBMISSIVE
PoLIoY.-General Grant, in reply to the COM
mittee announcing his nomination for the Presi-
dency, said he had no policy of his own to
interfere with the will of the people-that is,
with the will Of Congress. This was hit at
Mr. johnson, who has ventured to have
policy, and sop to the Congressional oligarchy
that brought about his nomination. According
to this declaration General Grant is prepared
to abdicate the constitutional prerogatives Of
the President in checking partisan and i'm
proper legislation. In word he will surren-
der all the powers of government into the
hands of a legislative majority. We doubt if
this reticent man, should he become Presi-
dent, would not be more disposed to play the
role Of the sphinx of the Tuileries and have
a decided policy to suit his own views and
purposes. A man of military education and
temper is not likely to be 80 extremely sub
missive when power is in his hands. However,
the declaration does very well for the present
and for electioneering purposes.

Proposed Increase Of National Bank Cur
Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, has reported to the
Senate from the Committee on Finance amend
ments to the bill establishing the national
banks, and among these amendments one to
Increase the national bank circulation twenty
millions. 1t did not require prophet or
much sagacity to see what all the noise that
has been made by the on-to-specie-payment
theorists about resumption meant, and we shall
see, no doubt, that the Congresemen and news
papers that have been clamoring for contrac-
tion and forcing specie payments will 90 for
this or larger measure of expansion. What
these so-called resumptionists and the national
banks want is to contract and ultimately to
abolish the legal tender currency In order to
initiate the national bank circulation. Their
object is to give the people national bank rags
in place Of the lawful money Of the government
and thus to increase the enormous profits and
power Of gigantic moneyed oligarchy and add
to the burdens Of the people. 1t is beginning
at the wrong end. If any more currency be
needed for the business of the country or to
equalize the circulation in the South or other
parts with that in the Eastern and Northern
States, legal tenders should be issued; and
if no additional circulation be required, as
the resumptionists claim, Or if any currency
ought to be contracted, it should be that of the
the national banks. The issue of twenty mil
lions of greenbacks in the place of that amount
of national bank currency would save twelve
hundred thousand dollars in gold year to the
people ! for twenty millions of bonds would be
bought up and cancelled. And were the whole
of the national bank currency withdrawn and
legal tenders substituted about twenty-five
millions year in currency would be saved
We should have at the same time uniform
and better currency, based directly upon the
credit of the government. The more the cir
culation of the national banks is increased the
farther we shall be from specie payments, even
should the same amount of legal tenders be
withdrawn and the whole volume remain the
same. Mr.. Sherman and the Finance Com
mittee are, as we said, beginning at the
wrong end.

DIsRAELI AND THE IRISH CHUROH.-A cable
despatch which we published in the HERALD

letter to Mr.. Gladstone, has given up the Irish

Parliament is hopeless, and says that he will
not oppose the passage of the Church bill.
Meanwhile the Parliament has adjourned
over the Whitsuntide holidays-that is to say,
until the 4th of June. The change is so pecu-
liar and unlocked for, and the 4th of June is so
close at hand, that it will be safer to wait than

Russia in Indla-the Peace Of Europe Sc
cured In Asia.
Russia is taking bonds in Asia for the good
conduct of England in Europe. This is the
especial significance of the vast strides she has
made within few years past toward the
frontier of India, that vast source Of British
wealth. There was a time when her power on
the sea made England practically nearer to
India than any other great Power, but that was
when the sea was the only highway Of nations.
We have got beyond that, and man can sweep
across the level wastes of continent now as
readily as through the waves, and communi-
cate by telegraph in a way that makes him in
different to distance. Russia, thanks to these
results of modern discovery, can properly
assert the power that geographical position
gives as the frontiersman of Europe-pushing
European civilization to the heart of the neigh
boring continent-and the practical conse-
quence is that she can hold out constant
menace to the British power in the colonial
world called India. England dSfe not risk
the loss of that world, and hence she will
be the meekest of the meek in all European
complications that put the young giant Of con-
tinental politics on the side opposed to her.

The Garrahan Quicksilver Claim Pronounced

pOiy-Grant Meetings.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20, 1868.
The bulletin and Alta of this city pronounce the
Garrahan quicksilver land claim now before Con-
gress fraud, and show by the records that it has
been so declared by the United States courts in Cali
rornia The claim has been much complicated by ex-
tending the original location as to cover the New
Idrea quicksilver mines. The plea for the bill, on
the ground Of preventing quicksilver monopoly
by the New Amadan Company, is met by stating that
three or four other mines are now producing quick
silver in California, and 1t Is estimated that ten diff
ferent furnaces will be in operation before the close
OF the present year.
Republican ratification meetings are being held

A lob in kau,as.

We give to-day in letter from Washington
the outline of one of the most heartlcss frauds
ever contemplated or attempted to be carried
out under the guise Of government operation.
II is job likely to fairly entitle Kansas to the
epithet of bleeding" that derision has fastened
upon her. Years ago the government held in
trust certain money for the Cherokee Indians.
1t spent the money, but, acting honestly toward
the Indians, conveyed them an extensive tract
of land in what has since become the State of
Kansas. The land lying unoccupied was taken
up by settlers in good faith, and of course
in ignorance that it was not an open part of
the public domain. Now that'the land is nearly
all improved and farmers suppose they own
it, up comes the Indian claim. This claim
could be paid if farmers would buy their own
land at little more than dollar an acre, while
much of the land is worth fifty dollars per
acre. Immediately big job is concocted,
and the land is sold to some favorite of the
politicians in power for enough to discharge
the Indian claim, and this gigantic jobber is
at liberty to make what heartless bargain he
may or can with the settlers. Jobbng has
invaded nearly every sphere of our public life,
has corrupted popular faith in all directions,
and now 1t aims at the very basis Of the vitality
of the West and undermines the faith of the
emigrant and settler In the title to his lands.
DECORATING THE GRAVES OF SOLDIERS
Saturday was observed with impressive cere-
monies in great many different parts of the
country as day for the decoration of the
graves Of the gallant fellows who died for the
country. Private affection, remembrance and
sorrow found an expression in this way, and
the public entered into it in sympathetic.
respect for the heroes who were only theirs as
they were their country's. 1t is to be hoped
that this occasion may grow TO be numbered
with the national fast, and may not be turned
aside from Its sacred and peculiar character
by the inevitable politician who has already
thrust himself into the affairs of the Gettys-
burg and Antietam cemeteries.
