"I.ET Us HAVE PEACE"
The indications for that desired end
are not very vast, as we look around.
There is thunder everywhere just now
and we begin to think that Mr.. Grant
will be stirred up by Others than his
family circle aud those who desire TO
serve their country in some fat office,
very shortly. The method last pro-
posed in Congress for settling the Ala
bana claims, if officially considered,
will and can end in nothing short of
war. And we believe the animus of
the leaders Of Congress is Of that char
aeter, while the action thus far can be
construed in no other light. With the
annexation Of Canada comes the revo-
luton in Cuba in which the whole
country sympathizes. and in which di-
reclion warlike demonstrations are
now beingmade 1t is known that q
batch of cannon left this city to-day,
and it Is confidently believed, bound
for the ''ever faithful Isle" Here too
Congress has given no uncertain sound.
While all this is going on outside,
there is a disturbing element within.
4 party in the interest ofImperialism
has boldly flung out a paper in New
York in advocacy of that revolutionary
doctrine, and says that the present
form Of government means '1awless-
ness, corruption, insecurity to person
and property, robbery, and civil war"
Touching the attempt to suppress it by
mob law it says: ave are not atone in
this great city. and sce kno1o on ichom
to rely IN oar emergeacy." Takinr the
above facts into consideration in con
nectioh with the unsettled condition of
affairs in the Southern States, it does
not look as though "peace' had yet
lighted down on the Capitol.
OPERA BOUFFE.
Anything foreign will rage in this
country and when opera is Frenchi-
fed You may be sure that it viii be
patronized. We know nothing of OPP
era Bouf1e by sight: for we believe it
to be edemoraiizing. But there are those
who do, and while their conscience is
sufficiently elastic to allow them to at
tend, nevertheless concede that some
subjects are of very doubtful propriety.
Vice and impurity are here made at
tractive because they are covered with
beautiful and gorgeous drapery (some-
times not enough of it) and worked up
with music and dance. The Academy
of Music has had crowded houses to
witness such scenes lately. This same
opera had a great run in Paris in 1867,
and in that case we judge there is no
want Of obont30n and freeness in it.
As has been demonstrated, there are
plenty here who take to it easily, and
many who profess refinement and are
extremely fastidious in matters Of open
vice and immortality, go there night af-
ter night and never knoY anything
hurts them, on the principle, we pre-
sum ;, that to the pure all things are
pure. The "Honi Soit' arrangement
is very convenient in French Opera
and Black Crook.
