The Opern Bouae in STEAMBOAT.

The road to civilization and progress is be-
ing opened out in the East and can be attri-
buted chiefly to the extreme liberality displayed
by the viceroy in Egypt Of the recent opening
Of the Suez Canal No efforts were spared in
order to afford his numerous guests every
amusement and pastime that money could OBJ
tain. Operd 5oute, with all its seductions, was
not forgotten, and soon proved the weak point
Of the Mohammedans. The success it obtained
in Cairo was signal The looseness Of the
acting, combined with the pure simplicity Of
costume, was too much for the sedate old
Egyptians, and in face of their traditional de-
corum they allowed themselves to be led away
by enthusiasm. The far-famed Arabian Tales,
with all their accompaniment Of mystery and
enchantment. which for ages have enraptured
the masses, were stale. Here was something
tangible, an actually that could
be heard and seen. From Cairo the news soon
spread to Stamboul, and the fat old Turks,
not desiring to give too great q shock to public
opinion, arranged a private performance
:" La Belle Helene" was the piece selected, and
the artists were French, and well selected.
The performance tickled the humor Of the au-
dience, but when the cancan was performed
then even the faithful could not restrain
their feelings, and soon all were joining in the
dance to their hearts content. Such was the
effect upon the favored few that when the per-
formance closed they all went their ways hum
ming the enchanting airs, and ''Bu Qui
s'agance, Bu qui savance," is now the pop
ular melody among the True Believers. Gu
rious as it may seem, there is no doubt
that wonderful changes will ere long follow
each other in quick succession, and few
weeks Of op6ra dom6e may effect more than
the practice of more serious measures for CEN
tures.

York democracy must be in If we believe the
following spasmodic effusion of the Albany
Ece,sing Journal, radical organ Of the Slater
1.-The democratic party is thoroughly disorgan-
ized The priests insist upon division Of the
School Fund, and stand threatening vengeance
if it is not granted. Timorous legislators fear
the wrath to come. The masses demand the
disbandment Of commissions; politic leaders
seek to defeat by delay. Hoffman nominates

Cotton-Tho South Getting stinsNocked.
The Eufals (Ala.) Ne,os, after referring to
the marvellous changes for the better to be
observed in the South after the close OF the
war, proceeds in another column to exhort the
cotton planters in the following langnage:-
II planters win now take our advice and hold
frmy they Will not have to wait long before reaz-
ing thirty cents for their cotton. therefore, we say
again, n0id your cotton, planters The game - ~
your own hands and II you fail to win now you de-
serve 70 get nothing and to receive no syinpatny
from disinterestcd parties who are watching the
game between the Northern specuators and splnnerS
ana Southern planters.
Thus Is the South becoming stiff-necked in
view of its present and prospective prosperity.
II she keeps on at this rate how long will it be
before she refuses to let the North have cotton
at any price? That question may be answered
by asking another--how long will it be
before the South will have cotton mills
OF her own and about as much as
she can do to supply the home demand?
The fact of the matter is that the cry Of
Southern papers like the Eafala Neos, that
the cotton receipts are short this year, is
simply false alarm, and their advice to plant
ers to hold on to their crops is dangerous.
This may be ascertained by glancing at few
figures, to wit:-The total receipts Of cotton at
all the ports to the latest dates foot up 489, ,8O4
bales, against l,177,l74 bales at the same
time last year, showing an increase in the
total receipts at the shipping points Of 3l2, $50
bales Comment upon these figures is mani
festly unnecessary. The truth is the South is
on the high road to permanent prosperity, and
her career cannot be impeded by obstruc-
tons thrown in her way by Northern croaking
OF Southern obstinacy

The BILL SIGNED. The President having
signed the bin for the restoration of Virginia
TO Congress that matter is settled. The Legis-
luture must adhere to the fourteenth amend
ment in reference to rebel disabilities, and the
State must not ''go back" on the colored folks.
The Senators and members Of the other branch
of Congress elected are to be admitted sub
ject to an investigation individually in several
cases where questions Of eligibility have been
raised. Now let Georgia, Mississippi and
Texas hurry up, and let us have an end to
this troublesome Southern enterprise checking
business Of reconstruction, and let the whole
South, on the new departure, advance to the
glorious career of prosperity before it, which
invites whites and blacks to harmony, CO.
operation and active work in cotton, corn, rice,

Wholesale ANNExATIoN.-The Hartford
Post, administration, remarking upon the tenn
per Of our people for annexation, says
'Our national policy, heretofore opposed to
aggrandizement, seems to have been almost re-
versed lately under the desire for acquiring
new territory. The purchase of Alaska seems
almost to have necessitated the acquisition OF
British Columbia. Why not also Red River,
Canada, the Feejee Islands and st. Thomas
The question is pertinent, and demands earn
est thought and careful decision" The Post
has omitted Cuba, Mexico, the Sandwich
Islands, St. Domingo, Hayti, &c., from the
list. Why not 60 the whole figure, even to
the annexation Of the 'sislands OF the moon ?"

OF seeing man, they saw job in it.

COrLin in n Rnd Why.

The Congressional Committee on Banking
and Currency, engaged in the investiga-
ton of the great gold gambling con-
spiracy of September last, have been very
anxious to hear what the pious speculative
ring master Corbn has to say upon the sub
ject. but Corbin, having had his wings
clipped once before by an investigating COM
mittee, touching certain lobby operations,
shrinks from another trial threatening more
serious consequences; and so he has sent
chronic disease which makes his appearance
before them matter Of some uncertainty. He
is in bad way. He evidently lacks the moral
courage to make clean breast of it in frank
confession that Gould and Fisk led him into
temptation, aud that he was induced to
give them promises and assurances which were
all moonshine, but that really the possible
profits of that gold pool were too glitterng to
be resisted. 1t would seem, too, that he does not
like the idea of pleading guilty in the alternative
of going before the committee and declining
TO answer questions where the answer would
criminate himself. In any event it is the duty
of the committee to bring him to the Capitol
or to examine him at his lodgings for with
out Corbin this gold gambling conspiracy is
the play Of Hamlet with the part Of old Polo
MUS left out; and we presume that the COM
mttee will 90 to the old man if he is really too

Our CUBAN NEWS. BY mail we have the
particulars Of the reception and serenade
given by the volunteers of Havana to ex-
Secretary Seward. In reply to an address,
Mr.. Seward made a very pleasant speech,
in which he spoke in manner calculated
to tickle the truly loyal Havanese. Re-
garding the close of the insurrection matters
present very unpleasant prospect 1t would
seem that the Spaniards are not particularly
anxious to crush the revolution Immediately.
Now that they are satisfied of the American
policy Of non-interyention they intend to take
their time over the work and put it down by a
slow and easy process We here perceive the
effects of the unwse policy Of the administra-
tion in not taking decided step, one way or
the other. in the matter Of the revolution in
Cuba. 1t looks as if the powers in Washing
ton were trying to ride two horses. The
Spaniards aow feel easy. There is no fear Of
Intervention, and they can afford to take their
time, and we are thus indirectly responsible
for the continuance of the wer.

A HEAVY TAsK--The task undertaken in

Between protectionists aud free traders it is
the great question OF the day, and whether

THE NEW CABLE. channel cable just
laid from the coast of England to the coast Of
France makes direct communication between
London and Brest, and thus makes the French
cable our most direct line to London. 1t is a
more direct transit by this cable to the British
capital than by the cable that lands on the
Irish coast, and thus the French cable has the

pOndouco.


Our correspondents in Central and South
America furnish us with the latest mail
advices from the Isthmus and the South Pacific
coast. The Darien Canal is the great topic
of conversation among the people of Colombia
They have taken up the subject in earnest and
express regret that the United States has been
SO tardy in making the preliminary surveys.
The Colombians are evidently alive to the
greatness Of the undertaking, and realize the
immense advantages it would confer upon
trade and commerce. In Chile the political
campaign is conducted with moderation; and
although no activity is lacking on the part Of
the political contestants and their adherents,
there is an absence Of those revolutionary ex-
hibitions and threats which were formerly
SO frequent during the progress of an cleo
ton campaign. Peru is marching along in
the road Of progress. Enterprises such as that
now in prospect of building railroad between
Lima and the Peruvian headwaters of the
Amazon, will prove an admirable panacea for
the disorders of revolution in the South Ameri-
can republics. This railroad will bo an
immense undertaking, and when completed
direct communication across the South Ameri-
can continent will be complete. What the
Pacific Railroad is to the United States tho
railroad from Lima across the Andes to the
Peruvian headwaters of the Amazon will be
to South America.

Turin Salunye.

French slOop-0l-war arrived at Charleston, 8. c.,
yesterday direct from Port au Prince, bringing
intelligence OF the shooting OF exPresident Salnave.
OF HaytL on the 10th inst. by the successful revo-
utonists. If the news be true the ll-starred
man has only shared the fate Of nearly all Hayden
leaders, and his dying moments were PROBABLY
consoled by the thought that before many months
his executioners would be shot by somebody else.
Salnave was born In Haytl, and was man ia tho
prime life. He entered the army at an early age,
and was rapidly promoted for distinguished servlces
IN the field. We believe that he took part in the in
vason OF st. Domingo by Soulouque and retreated

sequently he aided Genrard I'm overthrowing
the empire, whence Sououque fed TO Jamaica,

OF 200 men, reused the people III the name
Of tlod aud liberty and established provisional
government. Geffard advanced against hin
the forces OF the public Several bloody struggles
took place In winch number OF men were
seriously bruised and q lew killed. Finally Lie
insarrecton was suppressed, Salnave retirin1
again TO ot. Domingo subsequently, however,

THE Two REMAINING UNREooNsrRUOTED

it is said, will be rapidly considered by the Con-

radicals there is no necessity for any condi-
tions. Being radical the average Congress
sional mind cannot for moment imagine that
they wonld be disloyal.
