MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
Tho CITY Amunementa.

AT THE CRsNUT no performance will be
given this evening, in order to arrange for the
appearance of the German Bioplastic troupe and
the Lauri family of paptomimists, who win COM
mepce an engagement tomorrow evening. The
performances of these troupes are spoken of as
novel, interesting, and beautiful, and we GER
tainly hope that they will be able to produce
some sort of an entertainment that will prove
attractive enough to fill the benches at the
Chestnut.
AT THE WALNUT Mr.. Chanfrau will appear
this evening in q new drama of American life
entitled KIT; or the arkansas TrdueIler, written
by 7. h. De Walden and Edward Spencer. This
piece is said to be full of exciting incidents that
are calculated to please the popular fancy.
AT THE ARCH Lotta will appear this evening
in the drama of Hearts Ease.
AT THE AMATEURS DRAWING Room the
French Comedy Company will appear this even-
ing In the original Frou-Frou. There is con-
siderable demand for seats to witness this per-
formance which will undoubtedly be one of the
most interesting given by the troupe, and in
order to accommodate those who are unable to
attend this evening, an extra performance will
be given tomorrow.
MISS CARLoTTA PATTI will give two farewell
concerts and matinee at the Academy of Music
on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, previous to
her departure for California and South America.
It will be impossible for this fine singer to
appear here for long time, and it may be that
she will never return. The opportunities, there
fore, afforded for hearing her will doubtless he
made the most of by our music-loving citizens.
The sale of seats will commence to-day at the
Academy of Music.
AT THE ELEVENTH STREET OPERA HOUSE
the burlesques of Thomas and jeremiah, The
Wig-Mdker, The Streets of Philadelphia, and
other attractions will be given this evening.
AT DUPREz 81 BENEDICT's OPERA HOUSE
bill of novelties is offered for this evening
which includes the burlesques of the United
States MdaI, Trials of a Bachelor, fisherman s
Luck, and other amusing features.
SIaNoR BLITz, JR., will give an exhibition of
magic and yentriloquism at the Assembly
Building this evening.
DIR. j. Soils COHEN will deliver lecture on
the subject of "The Physical Beauties of Musi-
cal Sound at the Amateurs Drawing Room on
Wednesday evening next. The lecture will be
illustrated by number of new and beautiful
experiments

Continued from the Third Edition.
Mr. Thurman remarked that for one he was
IN favor of the early restoration OF Texas to her
rights, but in view OF recent events he feared that
report from the Judiciary Committee to that effect
would only ensure the hostility Of the Senator from

send In an adverse report on the subject then certain
Senators would be sure to vote to admit the State.
Mr.. Drake rose to reply, but Mr.. Sherman called
the regular order, which was proceeded with.
Mr. Morrill, Vt.), from the Committee on Public
Bui dng5, reported with an amendment, in the

The PieRan Fight-Letter from Col. Bake

The Piegan Fight-Letter from Col. Baker.
WASHINGTON, March 2s;-The following was re-
ceived to-day at army headquarters
FORT ELLIS, Montana, March 23, 1S7O.-Genera P.
II. Sheridan, Commanding Military Division, Chi
cago:-In answer to your telegram received on the
22d inst, report that after having made every effort
to get the judgment OF the ofncers OF the command
was satisfied the following number approximates
as nearly to the extract truth as possible:-
The number killed at the Piegan village was 173,
OF whom l20 were able-boded men, and SO women
and children ID women and children were after
wards captured and released. believe that every
effort was made by the officers and men to protect
the non- combatants and such women and children
as were killed were accidentally killed.
The report published in the Eastern papers is
wholly aud maliciousy false. 1t seems incredible
that the false assertions of two persons, neither OF
whom had made any efforts to inform themselves in
the matter, should outweigh the reports of those
engaged In the fight, and VINO feel that they have
nothing to paate or conceal in their conduct. All
that the officers OF the command ask of the authOri-
ties is full and complete investigation OF the CAM
pagl, and less than this cannot be conceded them.

The Lexington (Ky.) Statesmen says:-
Great CONSERVATION was created on Thursday
IN the usually peaceful village of Rose Hill,
where our Shaker friends pursue their happy
aVocations. Among the deniEens OF tals pros
porous community were a young man W the
name ofJohn Boyd and maiden called Jarah
McCoid, and 1t seems that under their quiet aud
apparently cold exterior they cherished an un-
Shakerlike attachment for each other, and on
Thursday, to the horror of the brotherhood,
they eloped They went to the town of Nicholas
vile, and, having put up at the Verandah Hotel,
called in Rev. Mr.. Hunt, and were united In the
holy bonds of matrimony before numerous COM
pany, among whom was our informant, Captain
William Harlan, of Tennessee. As they stood
before the reverend divine he with broadbrim
in hand, and with the long blue home-spun coat
peculiar to the brotherhood from which he had
ned, and she 'in simplest habit clad, they were
not an unnteresting co pile. Even her horrible
costume, as the female spectators regarded It,
could not disguise the bt Nuty of the bride, for
she was fresh and fair, AMI the groom was as
happy as man could be.

Wall street New York was utterly quiet and
dull Saturday. There was a rather active de-
mand for money at seven per cent. during a
portion of the day, and . general marking up Of
rates on call. The lowest figure at which the
government houses were offered balances was
hve per cent. while among the stock houses the
rates were six and seven per cent Commercial
paper was not affected by this activity, the
amount of first class acceptances on the market
teing very light. The figures Of the bank state
mtnt submitted Saturday afternoon are irrec-
onciable, except on the hypothesis that money
hi 9 been artihcially rendered scarce. There is
reason to believe that the banks during the week
were actually gamers In legal tenders, as the
rates OF domestic exchange favored, and still IA
yor, New York % against the West and South.
The loss In deposits Is the decrease in specie; the
loss In legal tenders is the amount locked up by
t1e bears" The total loss in reserve is over
hve millions, but the banks still hold nearly
twenty millions of reserve in excess of the
amount required by Law, 80 that they are in good
money should it be superadded to the expected
activity dvring the ensuing six weeks.
