The restless condition Of Franco has the

Mr.. JOSEPH JEFFERSON has sued out an
injunction in the United States Court at Chi
cago, 10 prevent the managers Of Crosby's Opera
House from continuing their piratcal perform
ance Of his version Of the play of Grip Van
Winkle." In his I'LL of complaint he alleges that
for nearly twenty years there has been in print
n play known as Grip Van Wrinkle" found
ed upon WASHINGTON IRvINa's well known
sketch, said play having become public proper
~, aud sometimes known as HAcKrrrs and some
times as BuGKE's version. In 1850 he deter
mined to play the part Of Zip Tan Wrinkle,
wh'n, not liking the character as it was repre-
scented IN the old play, he wrote for himself
new version, differing widely from the one then
IN existence, and, from his own manuscript,
played the part in various parts Of the United
states until 1865, without, however, availing
himself Of the benefit Of the copyright act.
During oil this time he devoted himself to the
close study Of the character, which he had almost
created, and as improvements suggested them
selves to his mind, he from time to time changed
and altered his manuscript. In 1865 he be.
lcved hc had made his impersonation Of Rip
Van Wiatls attractive and successful having
perfected it to his own partial satisfaction and, as
lac had reason to believe, TO that of the public
also. He therefore determined to embody all
the ideas that his study and experience had
taught him in new play, and, being in Lon
don at the time, engaged DIoS L. BoucIcAuLr
TO assist him in cmbodying into language the da-
logues, incidents, ideas, scenes, and sentiments
devised by him. The result Of this contract
was the present play Of rip Van Wrinkle"
which il is claimed differs materially from all
others OF the same name, and indeed, from
the original sketch Of WASHINGTON IRvNu. The
bill further alleges that on the Goth Of August,
1865, before any public representation Of the piece
had been given, nr. JEFFERSON copyrighted me
play in the Southern District Of New York, where
he then resided, as co-author and proprietor
llo further says that Mr.. BoUcIcAuLr was paid
$4,000 for his services in rewriting the play;
that no complete copy of it has ever been fur
nished to any person. the separate parts Of IL hav
ing been written on separate slips, which were
only lent to the actors for the purpose OF study.
Under the recent ruling Of Judge DRuuMoSD in the
" Mary Warner" case, Mr. JEFFERSON will proba-
bly, gain his suit. Besides his injunction he de-
mands that defendants be required 10 account for
thc proceeds Of their illegal representations, or
that AT least they may be dccreed 20 pay the
statutory penalty Of 800 for the first and $50 for
each Of the succeeding representations az well as
to surrender up all copies Of the play they may
have.

the delegste1 each aud all Of them, having such
vast stores OF original IDEAS that panic seized
them lest the winter should pass away, and the
summer come and go, before they could al!
find uttorance. The whole Congress, therefore,
began to speak at the same moment, each in bis
native Ian guage, much to the edifcation Of the
spectators, who thus behel the best possible
representation Of the Confusion Of Tongues, free
Of expense. The American delegate subsidized
first, and was followed by the representatives Of
Germany, two Frenchmen remaining masters OF
the situation, and discoursing at each other until
their powers Of speech had lift them.
II Is not probable that, so long as the present
state Of religious liberation throughout the civil

destical or athelstical congress. No powerful
tie Of common danger will hold together the pro.
