of Orchestra, Adolf Birgheld.
Among the orchestra are several yell.knoun
amateurs, prominent among whom are ID. X.
Mckee, futist, y. A. Pearson, second violin.
and f. Weller, first violin.
The success OF the opera will be attribuahle
mainly to the efforts of the accomplished direc-
tTess, Miss Carrie Todd, who, for months past
has exercised a general supervision OF all the
musical details. Equal executive ability COM
bined with rare musical talent, il would, per
haps, be difficult to find In any other person i'm
Washington circles.
Looking at the rehearsal OF yesterday from
critical point Of view, and with special refer
ence to its musical effects, the general impress
sion is unquestionsbly good, and the opera will
probably pass of with but few and slight mac
curacies. The chorus is strong, enthusiastic
and well up in their parts.
The leading characters will not, perhaps,
carry of equal honors with the chorus, for the
opera IL, unsteady considered, q difficult one,
and imposes Q constant and severe strain on the
voices Of one and all. Several OF the qusrtettes,
particularly that in the spinning wheel scene.
are excellent. The acting, In some places.
hardly evinces sufficient vim and spirit, but on
the whole 1t is highly creditable, and win keep
pace with Its musical accompaniment.
The rush for tickets, We understand. stiu con-
tinues, fabulous prices being offered In some
instances for good seats in the orchestra. On
Monday evening dress rehearsal will be held
at the opera house, to which, We are requested
to state, no audience will be admitted.
In view Of the complaints made In some
quarters as to Encouragement in the reserya-
ton Of seats for the opera Il is only Just to state
in conclusion that neither expense nor effort ha,
been spared BY those having the matter in hand
to make it success in every respect; and, a.
their services, with those Of all the performers,
are given gratuitously, and as the proceeds are
to be devoted 10 charitable purposes, IL is sub
mitted that fault finders should be sparine in
their denunciations. The enterprise is by no
means a pecuniary speculation for the benefit
Of those engaged in getting it up and carrying it
out.

A Prominent SpiFitualist Arrested
for 6igamy.

His Adventures in Washington During tie War.
In New York, on Thursday last, James Stuart
Gwynne was arrested on the charge of bigamy,
and in default OF So 600 bail he is held to answer
the charge, the examination of the case being
set down for the 10th inst. The New York
Standard says that Gwynne, during the war
spent thirty days in the Old Capitol, in Wash
ingtOn, for some alleged irregularities in his OFF,
cial conduct, he at that time holding the Office
OF consulting engineer and chemist in the Trea-
sury Department, and the position of consult
ing engineer to the Military Railroad Bureau
He asserts that the present case is the last of
q long series of prosecutions and extortions
practiced upon him by the woman who no W
makes the charge of bigamy against him
He was apprised of her Intentions to make
this charge against him, and knowing that
by the laws of the State of New York the
fact of a mans cohabiting with a woman, and
introducing her as his wife, constituted valid
marriage, he took the precsution to procure a
divorce at Terre Haute, Indiana, in October,
1863 He admits that he was married to his
present wife, whore maiden name was Amelia
b. Brown, prior to the procurement of the d.
vOrce, and again in July, 1864. Mrs. Gwynne
pleasant-taced, matronly lady of about her
husbands age, gives an emphatic denial to
every material allegation made by the accused
She claims that her marriage with Mr.. Gwynne
was solemniZed by Bishop Wainwright August
%, 1850. Miss Brown, she claims, is not the
only female with whom he has gone astray, he
having on one occasion taken mistress to the
house Of General Haupft in Washington and
introduced her as his wife.

THE CosT OF LIvING.-The fact that the
proprietor of a restaurant in New York procures
large portion of his supply of fresh vegetables
from England, and finds that, after paying
freight, tariff duties, charges, and other eT-
penses, he obtains them from fifteen to twenty
per cent, cheaper than he can purchase them
az to the reasons for this difference. The Herald
attributes it to the existence of class OF enid
dlemen,' who buy from the producer cheaply
and sell TO the consumer at the highest rates
which system OF close and combined epecula-
ton can command. Their transactions are
common to all large cities, aud permeate al
most every department Of the provision trade
are visible in the exorbitant prices consumers
are compelled to pay for nearly every article
they purchase. There appears to be no remedy,
unless 1t would be to establish more intimate
the producer and consumer.

TIE CONTEST FOR THE STAMP PRINTING
CoNTRACT.-The contract for making all the
internal revenue stamps, bids for which were
opened several weeks ago by Senator Edmunds,
Comptroller Taylor, and W. r. Sherman, has
not yet been awarded, Secretary Boutwell, still
having the report of the committee under con-
sideration. Strenuous efforts are being m ade
by the several bidders for the contract, particu.
larry the Ameri can and National Bank Note
Companies of New York and Butler, Carpenter
& Co., Of Philadelphia. The bid OF Geo. T.
Jones, of this city, is one of the lowest
but the opposition to him on the part of the
rich corporators above named is very great
Should he get the contract most Of the work
will be done in this city, and 0 large number
Of those now engaged upon the stamps in the
Printing Bureau OF the Treasury would lind

1t is to be hoped that the Secretary will end
