THEATRICAL performances are exhib-
tied for II very low price in the second
or third class places of amusement in
London. Competition has brought

Standard Theater to twelve cents for the
pit and eight cents for the gallery. AT
another theater the prices are eight
cents to the boxes, four cents to the pit,
and two cents to the gallery. The per-
~formances, however, arc short, two en-

a Ratal KIuudcr,

The Tennessee election was fatal to
GRANT. He very foolishly permitted
his subordinates, BOUTWELL, and CREss.
WELL, to'commit his Administration to
the support of STOKES. This was his
worst blunder. Had he kept hands off,
he might have claimed the glory of
SENTER's election, as he assumed the
credit of WALKERS success. But his
officieus meddling in behalf OF the
weaker side merely exasperated the
SENTER Republicans against him, and
rendered SENTER's success more certain
and more signal. He has failed shame,
fully, and the people cannot forgive
President for failing, especially in so
small a matter as State election.
The immediate result of bis imperti-
renee in this matter seems likely to be
the election of ANDREW JOHNSON to the
United States Senate. Knowing how
thoroughly distasteful A. j. is to ULYs-
SEES, the Conservatives of the Tennessee
Legislature will, in all probability, send
the former to the Senate, as means of
practical retaliation against the Presi-
dent. Once there, he will be GRANTS
most relentless and unceasing persecu-
tor. He will omit no occasion to vex
to ridicule and to disgrace the Admins
tration. So far rs GRANT is con-
cerned, the general verdict will be,
"served him right" When GRANT
came down to q personal participation
in the dirty strife Of Tennessee, he laid
himself liable to all sorts of kicks and
cuffs in return. Tue Journal of Com
merCe says, "the President will never
hear the last of Tennessee until he has
got out of office and settled down on his
farm at Long Branch or elsewhere
Truly saith the proverb: "He that
Passeth by, aud meddleth with. strip
belonging not to him, is like one that
taketh dog by the ears"

Thieves.

We used to hear good deal of clatter
about "the gang of thieves" kept by
JOHNSON in the Revenue Department.
Then GENES GRANT with his "retreHch-
ment and REFORM" promising to give
settler to stealing and all that sort of
thing. Possibly he did displace some
prominent thieves, but there is no doubt
he has selected in their stead swarm
of rascals and plunderers, who as far
surpass the JOHNSON thieves as expert
professionists can surpass blundering
amateurs. In nearly every large city in
the Union, the swindling operations of
GRANTS Revenue rings are known and
talked as matters of common notoriety.
An investigation now going on in
Cincinnati, of the affairs of Supervisor
YOUNG, merely touches a single scanda-
lous case, while a Thousand others are
left undisturbed. When YoUNG's case
is disposed of, there is rumor
that the business of Assessor SHAW,
also of Cincinnati, will be examined.
The open and continued discussion of
local corruptions by the press and pub
lie of Cincinnati has compelled the Gov.
erment to make this show of vigilance
and honest intent. 1t only serves to
show how vast must be the amoant of
raseality new going on in the Revenue
Department, when necessity compels
the authorities to make the concession
to public opinion which an investiea.
tion implies. 1t would be far more sat-
isfactory, however, if instead of here
and there ap ostentatious display of
detectives and investig ating courts, &C.
companied by suppression of all the
testimony taken, there were to be q
general overhsuling of the affairs of
suspected Districts, and such removals,

! the people that the Administration is
as honest in purpose as it is in profess

Fer wb.,,i

For what were our city scales intend
edf Most persons would say. to protect
purchasers of coal and hay against false
weights. To this end, there is an idea
afoat that our weigh masters, superin-
tend the weighing and Issue eertifcates
as to the weight of the loads passing
over their scales. Yesterday we saw a
sample of. the n,odas operGndi. A driver
with his cart load of coal drove upon
the scales in East Wheeling. He got
down from his cart leaving on the seat
boy who weighs probably fifty pounds.
His horses hind feet also rested on the
scales. The driver tceighed his o,rn load,
and for aught we know issued his own
certificate. Whoever bought that load
paid at coal rates for boy and the
hind quarters of horse that he didn't
get, even if the driver made proper re-
port of the weight upon the scales.
This however is prOblematical, as the
matter was left entirely to his own dis
cretion. Now, we submit, that if the
scales are worth having they are worth
attending to. When our people pay to
be protected against fraud, they ought
to have protection. Gentlemen of the
