MRS. James A. Oates.

This talented actress and superb vocal
ist, with her burlegque troupe, are now
playing brilliant engagement at the Ma
tional Theatre in Cincinnati. The Com
merciaI gives the following notice: 1.-The
Field Of the Cloth OF Gold Was produced
ia this city on a previous occasion, but not
comparing in any respect with the pres
ent representation. Mrs. Oates, always a
favorite with Cincinnati, whether as a
conceItizer or as an actress, suslains the
role Of Earl Darnley, and speaking IN the
manner of the piece, does it darEed we'll.
Her sprighLly manner is catching, and inn
parts a cheerfulness to the audience, which
readily excuses the heaviness Of some of
the ieaser lights. 10 cong and dance tie
little lady was Irresistible lsst night, and
repeatedly drew the fire Of applause.
The piece Is supeibly mounted, rich
wardrobe and costly appointments enter
ing into irs composition more largely
than is Usual to the ordinary productions
Of The day. Something ike the Broughsm
burlesquos, ibe present one with lis
substrata of history, mere vehicle fer
iuefIable humor and Pungent wit, for jest
and trick, for the display of physical
charms, and the thousand little arts OF
the stage that attract by appealing to the
gen es, aud go to make up full measure
an evenings amusement"

Tho Degr of Rebekah, which was adopted
in 1851 has ever since occupied an anomalous
position in the Order. 1t has never been recOg-
nized as an integral part of the work, and exists
virtually by the sufferance of the state Grand
Lodges, since it depends entirely upon their will
whether it shall be conferred within their re-
spective limits. i submit-now that the Grand
Lodge has formally authorized the formation of
Lodges Of the Daughters of Rebekah-that the
time has arrived when this degree should be
placed on a footing with the rest of the work,
and be so equaliZed in authority that these
Lodges should be established in every jurisdic-
ton.
IL appears to me that ono of the most beauti-
full features of our Order is, or should be, its
perfect sameness and identity in every portion
of the general jurisdiction, uniformity one,
wherever it dwells. in principle, 10 ceremony,
in practice; besides law which clothes State
Grand Lodges with discretionary power to adopt
or reject any part of our system, substantially
abrogates a constitutional prerOgatve which
vests exclusive dominion over the work 10 the
Supreme Grand Body. If the degree be defect
i've or wanting in literary merit, dramatic effect
OF in any other essential element necessary to
render it generally acceptable, let it be revised
| and improved, otherwise l respectfully suggest
that, in its present status, it is an anomaly in

The Perisins.s.se Contested Election
(,ase

Chancellor Somers this morning rem
dered his decision 10 the above case.
The Judge, ia an able opinion, though
briefly stated, decided the election void.
Though there were several grounds dis
cussed by the able attorneys in the case,
the Chancellor thought it necessary to
discuss but one point, to-wit: The issu-
auce of nearly one thousand blank GER
tifcates of registration by the Commits
sioner Of Registration just before the
election. It is needless to say
that Hon. Harry s. Lee has not the least
disposition to hold the Office of Judge
under such an election. No appeal will
be taken to any higher court to contro-
vert The decision of the able Chancellor,
who comes to our city to try these local
questions.
The case of Wallace VS.. Hudson will
be decided tomorrow morning, a. nine
O. clock. In this case different point is
raised. Ii will be remembered that the
Criminal Court of Memphis is Of
restricted territorial jurisdiction; and,
in addition to the question decided
in the Perkins-Lee case, the point il
raised that voters residing without the
territorial limits voted in the election
for Hudson. The proof, not only of the
witnesses of the contestant, but for the de-
PENDANT, most unquestionaby establishes
the polling of about four hundred votes
at two precincts in the city Of Memphis
by voters coming into the city from
every railroad depot beyond Spring.
dale, out to Wythe depot, on the
extreme limit of the county-but by
the witnesses for the defendants, who
prove nearly the same number came on
the railroad and beyond Wolf river, etc
La this case there can be no doubt Of the
decision, it being much stronger than the
one decided this morning.
