Previous to the vote in the House OF Dele
gates for speaker. "Mr. Popham (Con.) of
Bath, urged the propriety Of dieting officers
uncontaminated by disoyalty and ardent sup
oorters of the policy Of Gen. Grant" Mr. P.
may have some peculiar notions as to the con
taminatou OF disloyalty perhaps he has,
but can he INFORM the Legislature what part Of
the "policy'' Of Gen. Grant, he wishes to sus'
tain? Is it the retention of Gen. Candy as
Military Governor?

The MosBY DUEL-Thc following is part
of the Washington correspondence Of the New
York Herald OF the 7th inst. The correspon-
dent is uaQuestiorably at fault 50 lar rs the ex-
citement 10 this city is c]ncoracd.
"A duel is in prospec; over ia Warrenton,
Va, between Colonel John Mosby. the famous
rebel guerilla, and Colonel William Boyd. Of
the Twenty.fr>t Pennsylvania cavalry. The
latter is Sheriff of Fauquier county, Va, by
appointment of General Candy, but Is bitterly
opposed by Mosby, who has used every effort
to obtain his removal MOsby, ii is said, caused
very grave charges to be preferred against
Boyd, and an investigation was ordered by
General Candy, Colonel Lee made an cxami
nation, which resulted in favor Of Boyd. Last
Saturday Mostly ard Boyd met. Boyd ap-
prOsched Mosby in a threatening manner
Mosby said, Sir, am unarmed and smaller
man than you, but am willing TO meet you
where lie can be pcrilled equally against lie.
Ii is alleged that Boyd, instead Of dcsisting
when he heard Mosby was unarmed, attacked
the Confederate chlettan in an unjustlf lbe
manner. The result has been that Mo>by has
challenged Boyd aud the latter is said 20 be in
trouble about second The peol l. Of Alex
andria are much excited over the affair.

REOPENiyG OF APOLLO HILL.
A Magnificent Temple Of TerpsicI,ore.

Magnificent Temple Of TerpsicIiore.
A large number Of lady and gentlemen artists and
others, the friends OF General Ferrero the spirited
proprietor OF Apollo Hall, on Broadway and
Twenty-eighth street, assembled last night In the
latter place for the purpose OF viewing the elegant
fescoes just completed by Mr.. q. G. Garibold on the
walls and ceiling OF the building and participate IN
the rejoicings OF the occasion. splendid band of
music performed choice tlt-bits Of O1enbachian
melodies. and the hall was crowded with elegantly
dressed ladies and their cavaliers to whom
the beautiful decorations and NEUROLOGICAL
figures were q source of extreme pleasure. Since
the close OF the last season General FerrerO
determined to make such alterations In the interior
OF the building as would make it the most attractive
IN the city. That he has attained the very height Of
his ambition IN this respect was conceded by
every one in the hall last night Mr.. Garib0dl
the gentleman whose artistic skin beautied the en-
trance to Booths theatre and made palace Of the
Erie Office, was entrusted with the work. lie began
by laying out a general plan OF decoration in ihe
style of the fifteenth century. The ceilings he
frescoed to resemble silk embrolderies; the
work, filling up every advantageous cornice and
convenient angle with neurological figures vases
orchestra gallery has been frescoed In the highest
style of art The perspective represents vestDue,
and beyond that is an amphitheatre so beautifully
painted that looking from the opposite end OF the
room, It seems long way of, shadowy and gray In
the distance. At the first glance it looks
like the Coliseum at Rome. but on closer
