BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Wallack's COM
pany gave performance last night at the Academy.
There was well filled house OF an audience that
bore striking resemblance in characteristics and
appearance 10 that which may bemet with at WAL
lacks theatre IN New York. The piece selected was
Coleman's comedy Of 1.-THE Poor Gentleman and
all the points OF this familiar comedy were thoroughly
appreciated by those who formed the distinguished
throng before the stage. The cast was distributed
after the following manner:-Sr Robert Bramble,
Mr. John Gilbert; Sir Charles Cropland. MT. George
Beeks; Lieutenant Worthingten: MT Q. w Barry;
OlapOd, Mr.. J. H. Stoddart; Frederick Brambe,
Mr. George Clarke; Humphrey Dsbblns, Mr.. ] Q.
williamson; Corporal Foss, Mr.. Il. M. Holland; War
ner, Mr. Quigley Emily Worthington, Mrs. Thomas
Barry; Miss Lucretia McTab, Mrs. John Selon.
Gilbert was as good as he generally Is IN SIR Robert
Bramble, and was admirably sustained BY the other
members OF the company. ',rhe Poor Gentleman"
Is OF those light comedies that are 80 full OF
pathos and numor that 1t appeals to the heart and
head OF oil those who have ever had an opportunity
OF witnessing Its presentation. The announcement
appended TO the programme that another per-
Torrance by the same company Will shortly be given,
was read with considerable favor.

and safeguards IN its management are not less I'm
perauvely dictated by selntereSt than by morality.
The practical efficacy OF those which have been de-
vsea and employed is vindicated by the lnfrequency
Sl complaints OF law suits; that &C most fourteen
spread business during the thirty years Of its ex-
istence only TINS one having attained TO any sue
cess Is pregnant evidence that its action is innocu-
Gus. All the judges ana private persons
whose concurrlng opinions thus testify to the
value and utility OF this business knew that
by no possibility could II be conducted without the
aid and cooperation OF agents or employees, and the
luoge who tried iais cause was the rst to discover
Inevitable destruction. Perhaps the refusal Of a
new trial has added another and powerful voice in
favor oil this idea; but, II So IL Is hoped that fuller
consideration Will lead to Its being recalled.
The counsel Tor the defendants In error maintain
the position assumed by the Court below in respect
or all the points and questions involved, and insist
that the communication OF the statement In this
case claimed 10 be a libel, from clerks 10 clerks,
submitted that the evidence Will conclusivey
show that there were no such rumors current Us
those published by Tappani and It Is asserted that
any rumors which were adoat were put IN cIrcua-
ton by the publication OF the libel IN New York. A
fair and honest inquiry by Tappan, 1t IL sad at the
home and place Of business OF the Beardsleys would
nave shown the faIsity ana groundlessness OF the
reports, and that the Beardsleys were men OF good
character and merchants OF unlmpeached credit and
character. The evidence in the divorce case
shows that the application by the wife OF
one OF them was without cause and resulted
from tae unfortunate disposition and partial insan-
Ivy OF the lady, and not from any fault In the con-
duct ana character OF the man. The repetition OF

no error In the charge that damages should be
assessed for such repetition. Many questions are
raised and discussed but those stated are the main

while there be secretly tamperod with The
half-breed Inhabitants, and was successful,
although he was a Cabinet Minister at the
time, in actually shaking their loyalty to the
Dominion Government. Moreover, Mr..
McDougall now charges the Dominion Govern
ment with having been the cause of his rebuff
by the Winnipegers; while the Government, in
turn, attributes his failure TO his own unwise
acts, not only in the past, but while at Penn
bina. 1t is, in fact a lucky thing for the
Canadian people that the Dominion Parlia-
ment is soon to be convened, when the
truth of the whole matter is sure to be brought
out. At present, however, the part played
by the various triclsters now misruling the
Canadian people appears anything but cred
liable, and their rule ought to be speedily
terminated.

DOWNFALL OF THE DOMINION.

FROM the N. Il. sun
Judging from present appearances, affairs
are in confused, if not actually disorgsnized
state in the new Dominion. Our Canadian
correspondent informs us that honorable
Cabinet Ministers there are all by the ears;
and we ourselves observe that leading
Canadian journals are Houndering about, and
even turning complete somersaults at a
furious rate. Even prominent private citi-
zens talk wildly of independence, annexation,
anything but remaining as they are-neither
one thing nor the other, neither citizens nor
colonists. And SO far as the Dominion Cabi-
net is concerned, it is q very pretty little
quarrel as it now stands.
We have already referred to the religious
side of the question, and its immediate con-
nection with the ancient French element of
Canada But now new element of discord
has made its appearance. 1t seems that when
Mr.. Howe, of Nova Scotia, was bought over,
and old Acadia stood bewildered at his
course, it was distinctly understood at Ottawa
that he should have his choice between the
Presidency of the Executive Cauncil and the
Governorship of Red River. But Mr.. Nc
Dougall had previously been promised the
latter place, and he held the Premier and his
colleagues to their promise. Accordingly,
Mr. Howe visited Red River on his own ac-
count, and IL is now stoutly asserted by
the chief journal of Canada West thai

against renewing violent measures and civil
war, perfectly realizing that the monarchy,
to be effeotually restored, should come by
pacific means, naturally, as by a national
necessity, as tho last and only resource for
the country. In spite of the impatience and
distrust of the majority, Prim, in like man
ner, apparently, has praotised reserve, dis
simulated, procrastinated, and temporized
until path should be opened for him, in
some sort spontaneously, and by the mere
force of circumstances. He would have suo-
ceeded thus in getting back monarchy but
for something quite beyond his oontrol--the
impracticable timidity of the guardians of
his candidate, the Duke of Genoa.
Prim was fatally checkmated in this, and
now it is perfectly plain that whoever is to be
the deliverer and regenerator of distracted
Spain, he is not the man. IL is still as inn
possible as ever to forecast the upshot of the
turmoil. Yet we don't consider that the case
of Spain is to be despaired of. II has been
almost invariably true that whenever nations
have been stirred by great aims, they have,
sooner or later, found a man in whom such
aims were fitly concentrated, and who be-
came their great instrument, prompter,
guide, and accomplished. We believe that
he will yet be found in Spain, though the
people may have yet to grope long time for
him. How many despaired of France under
the Directory? The adventures the disas-
ters, the perils, the sudden and unexpected
righting of causes and of countries almost
foundering, are quite as startling in history
as the turns of fortune in the life of an in
dividual. Oontemporaneous history is indeed
q novel where we may read, with the self
same confidence as in the last product of the
circulating library, that tyrants and bad
causes will be nonplused and brought to
grief, and liberty and virtue rewarded-in the
last chapter. Let us revive this old lesson,
and wait hopefully until we see the end of all

THE NEW SOUTHERN BALANCE OF
POWER AND THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.


POWER AND THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
From the NJ y. Herald.
The bill passed for the restoration of Vir-
ginia determined the final conditions to Mis-
sissippi and Texas the two remaining outside
States. Within few weeks on the same
terms, we expect they will be reinstated in
Congress and restored to the control of their
local affairs, when the transition epoch of
Congressional edicts and Southern military
district commanders will be ended and the
new Union, under the thirteenth, fourteenth,
and fifteenth amendments of the National
Constitution will be in full operation.
We have in these amendments greater
revolution in the structure of the Government
than that which transferred the American
people from the crown of England to their
own institutions under the original Constitu-
ton of the United States. The trainers of
that Constitution founded it upon the sove-
reignty of the people; but in its details the
Government was shaped upon the English
model. The system of African slavery planted
by England, and even the African slave trade,
were engrafted upon our original Constitution
and projected in various special provisions,
while the shame involved in these concessions
was confessed in the careful exclusion of all
such words as slave, slavery, or STAKEHOLDER
from the instrument. Its trainers, however,
while driven to these shameful conces-
sions for the sake of union, consolyed them
selves with the hope that negro slavery
would, sooner or later, die out and that the
Constitution, therefore, might so be shaped,
meantime, as to disguise its recognitions of a
ruling caste and a seryile race.
