Vile. Nilsson Coming to America.

After all we are to have the great Swedish
p,lma donna, Mile. Cristine Nilsson, in
America. 1t viii be seen by telegram from
Paris, in to-day's HERALD, that the grand
Mogul of opera managers, opera owners and
railroads, James Fisk, Jr., has made con
tract, through Mr. Tayleure. his agent, with
the world-renowned cantatrice. She il to
appear next winter at Mr.. Fisk's Grand Opera
House, New York, and is to perform
q hundred and forty nights altogether
in the United States and will receive thou
sand dollars in gold for each performance, be-
sides expenses paid for herself and her retinue
of thirteen persons. These are the same terms
for which she agreed to appear in England and
which she had rejected three times before for
an engagement to come to the United States.
There will be an extraordinary .fur0re un-
doubtedly when this great prima donna makes
her appearance here. Mr.. Fisk will immor-
talize himself and overtop all the railroad and
opera managers Of the day. From this time for
ward the small fry managers Of opera and inn
gres1yii must hide their diminished heads.
Their old accompanies and One-horse establish
ments cannot stand before the magnificent
four-in-hand style Of doing business of The

more or less, Of Erie stock. We have entered
upon new era Of opera, and henceforth the
grandest Wall street operations are to be in
tinately connected with the highest order Of
music and the coulisses. Swedish, Italian and
French nightingales, the grandest theatrical
spectacles and all the attractions Of superb
legs and beautiful forms are to be associated
with stocks, bonds, railroad enterprises, and
the bulls and bears of Wall street. Mr.. Fisk
has got the inside track in this new develop
ment Of the age, and will leave Vanderbilt,
Drew, Gould and all the other railroad kings
far behind unless they wake up to a realizing
sense of their fading honors. Drew was
sort Of religious Mogul, but since his patent
brick church which, at Morrisania, crumbled
and fell, he has lost ground. Indeed that ca
tastrophe may be regarded as sign that
the fates protest against union of Wall street
stock operations with religion. Now, there is
fine chance to recover his fame and power
and to rival the magnificent Fisk by bringing
out the famous Patti and inaugurating opposi-
ton opera to Nilsson and her troupe. Or, il
he has lost his ambition, we recommend Com
modore Vanderbilt or Gould to engage the Diva
at once and at any cost. Nothing can run
opera in this country on grand scale here
after but railroads and Wall street. Who will
rival Fisk? Who will be the greatest man Of

and proposed bills Of Mr. Washburne, of Mr..
Hubbard and Of Mr.. Hall. and reports ad-
versely TO all and to any governmental control
of the telegraph. The argument Of this saga
cious committee, If argument IL can be called,
is spread at length before our readers, and ii
is unnecessary. therefore, to repeat it here 1t
is the weakest and silliest document ever laid
before public body. From beginning to end
it is a tissue Of special pleading in favorof the
existing telegraph monopoly and against any
progress or change for the benefit Of the pub
lie. II Is precisely the same garbed and one
sided view of the subject that was submitted
to the committee by the telegraph monopolists
and has all the appearance of having been
concocted by them. We shall take another op-
portunity 10 expose the misstatements, absurd
assumptions and false conclusions OF this
