NEW YORK.

NEW York, May 4.-Mr. Fisk has de-
cided TO close the Opera House in this
city which he purchased of Mr.. Pike. He
states that his losses have been SO heavy
in his theatrical adventures elsewhere, in
spite of the factthat the Opera House is
filed every night, be is compelled to eloSo
it, and Saturday night will witness the
Iast performance there.
1t is stated that the Spanish Minister
in Washington has become uneasy about
the slow progress Of the Peruvian mon
itors toward home, especially since
he has ascertained that Peru has recog-
nised the belligerency in Cuba, and that
Cuban Envoy has arrived in Lima to
ask the loan Of the monitors. He
accordingly called Secretary Fish's at
tention to these matters, and said he
thought the monitors were lying among
the West India Isfanda longer than me-
cessary. The Peruvian Minister informed
Secretary Fish, in answer to these com
plants, that The monitors would remain
in the West Indies until late in the sum-
mer, as winter was the most favorable
weather for their passage through the
Straits Of Magellan,
This explanation given by Nc. Fish to
the Spanish Minister. was the ihforma-
ton that Peru had given bonds not to
use the monitors TO aid the Cubaus, and
this appeared to modify his uneasiness.
1t is stated that the subject of the re-
cent Indian outrages on Smoky Hill, Sa-
line and Republican rivers, and on the
line of the Kansas Pacific railroad, in
Kansas, has been very earnestly consid-
cred by the President and the Secretary
of War.
General Sherman and the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, and Western
Congressman have urged immediate &C
ton for the protection Of the frontier
from preditary bands Of Chyennes and
Sioux. Senator Ross called upon the
President and recommended the proprie
ty Of ststioning military garrisons alonl
the frontier at proper points, and o.
furnishing additional troops for that pur
pose. The President stated that he had
fully determined to take steps for the
suppression Of future depredations, and
would follow his recommendation. III
said necessary orders would be despatched
to General SchodsId at once. All bandi

While ell our individual impulses, feel

cratic, we cannot be blind to the growth
of politics that tends to the oentraliHA-
ton Of al political power in the hands OF

power Of Democracy to release us from

of pedestal, has been cast in Florentine
bronze metal, the proportions of which
are copper, As; fine yellow brass, so;

this mixture is arosy-tinged yellow metal
capable of taking brilliant polish,
and approaching when polished the lus-
trous purity of silver. The sculptor, Mr..

A TRUE SOLUTION.

We will not reply this morning to the
card of the Nicolson pavement builders
All the difficulties and troubles between
the city, the contractors and the prop
erty holders, have been caused by a
violation of the principle of equal, uni
form taxation. The spirit Of the. con.
tract on the part Of the city was narrow,
local and selfish from the very beginning,
and has continued so. We may have
more to say on this subject on Saturday,.
We clip the above from the Avalanche
of to-day. We think that paper have now
struck proper solution of the Nieolsou
pavement difficulty. T. E. Brown & Co.,
have done the work according to contract
with the city. The city assumed to say
to Messrs. Brown & Co. that the people
woull pay for the work as it progressed
guarant eeing that they toOuld. The peo
pie did not pay, and the people say theJ
tciR net pay, and their lawyers say theJ
are moi bound to pay-that the city haC
no right to contract for the peo
pie in any such manner. We lool
upon this as the fault of ih'
city in making such contract, and the
columns Of this paper has always beer
opposed to the payment of this enormou
tax or expense by the lot opners, but b.
general taxation. Brown 4 Co. hav,
done the work. We do not believe th,
city had the right to bind the lot owner
for Il; but the city surely did bind her
SELF and If she wants to protect hersel
and people, she should settle.
