DEAR SERiEs;-
am playgoer and always pay my money
like man. So have right to grumble when
see what | don't like, and am beguiled by
some bad acting from capital cigar. What
dislike most is q performance where the players
are not perfect in their parts, which is usually
the case on the first night of new piece. pay
to see play and not dress rehearsal, and q
manager receives my money under false pre-
lenses II he allures me to piece ere it is fiji to
be produced. See here how they manage things
on the French stage:-
'1n Paris the Bohemian Girl Is rapidly coming out.
They have had already forty-eight rehearsals."
Forty-eight rehearsals Here is something !

We should not hear such grumbllng about
slovenly stage management, and actors moi
working together, il forty eight rehearsals were
considered insufficient ere producing a new
piece. Yours in all sincerity,

TO MY DEAR WIFE.

My love, l cannot call thee fair;
'Twere difficult, methinks, TO trace
One feature that the world will dare
To call good-looking in thy face.
But Love is blind, and sets aside
The faults of countenance and limb;
Thy husband feels, with proper pride,
That thou art fairly fond of him.
cannot call thee rich, my dear;
'Twould scarce be true, in any sense,
To call thy twenty pounds year
Profuse and princcly opulence.
And yet maxim thou canst find
sentiment in which join
Which says that a eontented mind
is better than lot OF coin.
My owa, cannot call thee wise,
For, oh far otherwise thou art;
In Learning's race TO take prize,
'Tis requisite to take a start.
It gricyes me not that thou hast got
No farther than thine A g;
For thou hast mastered-happy lot -
The science of adoring me.

TOP-KNOT COME DOWN.

The Democratic Attorney General Of New
Jersey, following in the wake of the Demo
cratic Governor of Maryland has decided, in
answer to despatch from the Mayor of
Princeton, that ''as practical present ques-
ton of the hour, the right of the colored man
to vote, if he is otherwise qualified, should be
treated as settled in his favor" This answer
evidently goes against the grain of the De-
mocratic expounder of the law. He does not
like to make it. He avows his belief that
unconstitutional force was the means of pro-
curing the ratification of the fifteenth amend
ment," and he cherishes vague hope that
''on this ground it may finally be held by all
branches of the Government never to have
been in force" But for the present, and as
practical matter, he deems discretion the
better part of valor. He warns the Demo-
cratic election judges of New Jersey that if
they resist the amendment they will get
themselves and their favorite candidates into
trouble. He thinks they can refuse to take
colored persons vote "withoUt moral guilt"
but he warns them that such action will sub
ject them to the penalties of the law, and to
a civil suit, while "the person elected
may, if the votes refused would have
defeated him, lose his election" The only
possible hope he holds out to the antagonists
of the law is the meagre chance already re-
ferred to that the amendment may finally be
declared to have been adopted by illegal
means, but as he does not wish to see many
of his party frie nds victimized by danger
GUS experiment, he tells them that zone or
two cases in the whole State will be all that
can be of any good whatever" This exposi-
ton of the effect of the amendment in nulli-
flying all State statutes which prohibit COL
ored suffrage is nearly as conclusive as the
most radical Republican could desire, and it
foreshadows the rapid approach of a universal
recognition of the political rights of the citi-
zens of Afri can descent.

THE LOSS OF THE ONEIDA.

THE National House of Representatives
yesterday adopted joint resolution directing
the Secretary of the Navy to make thorough
Investigation with reference to the sinking of
the Oneida, and the conduct of Captain Eyre,
of the British steamer Bombay. 1t is emil
nently proper that the Government of the
United States should take official action with
regard to this sad affair, and make such an
investigation of its circumstances as will
place it in a proper light before the world
1t is important that it should be known def
nitely whether the officers of the Oneida
were responsible for the collision in the first
place, as upon this point there is considerable
obscurity and doubt. So far as the captain
of the Bombay is concerned, his disgraceful
conduct in leaving the sinking ship
with all on board of her
to perish, is sufficiently established
to make him for ever Infamous. Our Gov
.ernment, however, owes it to itself and to
the brave men of the Oneida that they should
be relieved from all blame in the matter if
possible, by showing, as far as it is possible
to show anything of the kind, exactly how
the collision occurred, and to prove the guilt
of Captain Eyre more clearly than it was pos
sible to do before board of Englishmen in
Yokohama. Independently of every other
consideration, it is matter of some impor
tance that it should be known whether the

A RESOLUTION was introduced yesterday by
Mr.. Ingersoll, of Illinois, in the National
House of Representatives, instructing the
Post Office Committee to inquire into the ex-
pediency of extending free delivery system
to all cities containing population of not
less than two hundred thousand inhabitants,
and to State capitals containing not less than
one hundred thousand. We hope that this
proposition will receive favorable considera-
ton at an early day. There is no good reason
why the Post Office facilities might not be
extended to much greater extent than at
present, and even if it we're to be found an
additional expense, the convenience to the
public that would ensue from the adoption of
a free delivery system in the large cities
would more than compensate for the outlay.
If, however, Congress will abolish the frank
ing privilege, with all its enormous abuses,
an arrangement of this kind that would be a
practical benefit to an immense number of
people would probably not make the expenses
Of the Post Office Department as great as
they are at present. At any rate the matter
is well worthy of fair, candid, and thorough
discussion, and proper amount of attention
from Congress.

ANOTHER PUBLIC BUILDING BILL.
BoTH branches of the Legislature yesterday
passed a bill which places the public building
question on new footing. The House, how
ever, made slight amendment to the bill
passed by the Senate which has not yet been
ratified by that body, so that the fate of the
new project is still involved in some uncer-
tainty. Some of its provisions will meet the
cordial approval of the citizens of Philadel-
phia. 1t recognizes, for the first
time, the fact that taxpayers should
be consulted, directly, in regard to the
choice of site, and they are permitted
to determine by their votes at a general elec-
tion whether Washington or Penn Square
shall be chosen. The independence Square
project is very properly killed outright, and
the sentiment which forbids perpetual desc
Grafton of the birthplace of freedom is thus
respected, for the contemplated law provides
that whether Washington or Penn Square is
chosen as the site, ''all the present buildings
on Independence Square, except Independ-
ence Hall, shall be removed, and the ground
thereon placed in good condition by said
commission" In the proposed popular
vote upon the respective merits of Penn
Square and Washington Square as sites for
the municipal buildings, one of the provi-
sions of the law is adroitly designed to give
an undue advantage to the latter. The cleo
tion is not to be free and unbiased choice,
or pure and simple vote on the two loca-
tions. The bill provides that If Washington
Square is selected, then Penn Square is to be
appropriated to the use of the Franklin Insti-
tute, Academy of Fine Arts, Academy of
Natural Sciences, and the Philadelphia Lii
brary The natural effect of this provision
will be to array the influence of all the
friends of these institutions in be-
half of Washington Square, even if
their disinterested judgment would not ap-
prove that locality as a site for the municipal
buildings, and thus to bring powerful rein
forcement to the ranks of the party which
opposes westward march of the courts and
public offices. This provision is evidently
intended as a balsam for the wounds of the
Independence Square party, and at the same
time to console, in part, the advocates of
Penn Square if they are defeated in the une-
quail contest which is proposed. Following the
system which has lately been adopted, the
heBisia1ure, Willie IL ieaVes 10 tne people tue
right of deciding, under the conditions i'm
posed, the site of the new buildings, AFRO
gates to itself the privilege of deciding in ad-
vance who shall erect them, and it names a
commission to perform this work, the only
popular element of which is to consist Of the
Mayor and Presidents of Councils, or three
men in body of eleven. The commission,
however, embraces the names of number of
talented, honorable, and public-spirited citi-
zens, and, as a whole, it is formed of good
material

THE CALIFORNIA WINE TRADE grows in extent
and Importance Except where the land is more than
three thousand feet above the level of the sea, the
entire State is well adapted to the cultivation of the
grape which is grown from the extreme northern
limit of the State to the southern, distance Of six
hundred miles. 1t was estimated that there were
twelve million fruitbearing vines in 1864 while this
year the number is put at thirty millions, the amount
OF land under grape cultivation being about fortytwo
thousand acres II all the grapes grown were used
in the manufacture OF wine the product it Is esti-
mated would be thirty million gallons. The scale
on which this peculiar industry is conducted may be
judged from the fact that one manufacturer alone
produces nearly half million gallons annually.
