ssnccrss ~ the Nilsson Concert season In
New York.

New York.
- the season of the Nilsson concerts in
New York is about to close for the present,
there being only two more performances
matinee on Saturday and the performance on
Monday might've can now sum Up the result
The season has been one OF unprecedented
success with the exception. perhaps, of the
Jenny Lind concerts, some twenty years ago.
Indeed it is doubtful il Jenny Lind proved
has. The best evidence of the impression Miss
Nilsson and the admirable ensemble of artists
engaged with her have made upon the
public is that Steinway Hall has been
as much crowded the last concerts
as at the first. We have on several occasions
expressed our opinion and the opinion of the
public Of Miss Nilsson as an artist Com
bined with a rich, sweet voice OF unusual COM
pass, there is a charm in her bearing and APP
pearance that captivates the audience Both
in the tones of her voice and manner there is
an expression Of sentiment which touches every
heart. These qualities more than extraordi-
nary brilliancy show the secret of her success.
OF course she is the great attraction; but the
manager has united with her first class artists.
1t would not be easy to find better combina-
ton for the performances. Brignoli, who is
universally acknowledged our first tenor, adds
greatly 10 the attraction. He is always a
favorte Then there is Miss Annie Louise
Gary, young and charming Ameri-
can, with well cultivated contralto
voice of the finest quality, aud with
piquancy and grace that fascinate US.
Vieuxtemps, the prince of violinists, touches
the feelings and arouses the enthusiasm Of the
audience as probably no other man can with
the violin. Verger is an admirable baritone
and Colletti is fine basso. The quintet on
Wednesday night by Nilsson, Cary, Brjgnoli,
verger and Colletti was superb. Added to all
these artists is Miss Krebs, very fine pianist
With such galaxy Of talent it is not surpris-
ing that the Nilsson concerts are so popular.
Still the public wants to see Miss Nilsson in
opera; for there, it is evident, she would dis
play greater genius and power. Can we not
have the pleasure Of seeing her In opera?
Can not Mr.. Strakosch and the stockholders
and managers Of the Academy of Music come
to some terms for the qualification Of the pub
lie and in the interest Of musical art? Or
this failing, cannot the Fisk Opera House be
obtained? The opportunity while Miss Nils
son is here this winter ought not to be lost.
What say these gentlemen9

old Tammany made laundering exhibit Of
strength at her grand turnout last night. Tho
procession stretched, probably, as far as from
Twenty-third street to the Battery, and every
man in 1t was entitled to vote, while many
of them doubtless felt willing and able to
cast several. Torches and transparencies
were displayed lavishly, and the darkness Of
the streets was brightly illumined by the
blaze. The turnout showed plainly enough
that Tammany has lost none Of her
power by the detection Of her rouyher
members, except in her ability to repeat. Be
tween the vigilance of the Uaited States mar
shals. determined to enforce the Congressional
election laws, and the loss Of those professional
voters who consider the casting of a dozen
votes each mild days work in State cleo
ton, the Tammany majority may be greatly
reduced on the Sth of November; but her ex-
hibt last night leaves no room to doubt that
the majority in this city, at least, will be hers

EyMAyog CAHooN, Of Richmond, Va, who
viii be remembered as the radical opponent of
Mayor Ellyson for that Office a few months ago,
has been convicted of forgery, By which he is
alleged to have defrauded tae State OF seven
thousand dollars, and has been sentenced to
four years in the State Prison Defrauding q
State is not considered SO serious crime in
this part Of the country, or many of our own
office holders would be in the State Prison
1t is probable that Mr.. Cahoon was too IN
popular, personally and politically, in Rich
mond TO allow him to commit such crime
with impunity. 1t is at least satisfactory to
know that there is o1e section of the Union
where people are punished for that offence.

THOMAS JACKSON, the murderer of Archi-
bald Douglas. was found guilty yesterday
of manslaughter in the third degree. the
highest penalty for which is four years in the
State Prison. The fact that he killed his VIC
tim in the heat of passion was the canse of his
easy escape from the dread penalty Of death.
This nice distinction renders murder a very
commonplace crime indeed, and makes the
well worn excuse of temporary insanity
almost unnecessary.

The Public Verdict ON Janaus,hek's Per-
f0rmnnce In English.

iOrmnnce IN ftnSlish.
There is but enc opinion as to the surprising
achievement of Fanny Janauschek in acquir-
ing the first position as on actress in English.
Such position, it is well known, she held as
performer in German. But to master our
language so as TO take the same rank in Eng
lish speaking countries was her ambition.
Through her wonderful perseverance and
genius she has attained her object. The uni
versal voice of the press accords her that
honor. 1t is really an epoch in the history Of
dramatic art. Jarauschek merits the support
of the American public for thus Identifying
herself with our country and for elevating the
drama among us. But great as has been her
achievement woman OF her ability and force
Of character would not rest satisfied even with
that She will advance, no doubt, to greater
triumphs, for it is said she perseveres in her
studies as much as ever. The classic drama,
Of which she is the best representative, has
been in state of decline for some time past
In the cycle of hanges in theatrical matters
the purely classic drama yielded to OPERA
boufe and other lighter representations but
the time has come, probably, when it can be
revived. At least that may be expected now
that we have great artist like Janauschek to
represent it in English. After brief season
in New York she is going to other parts of the
country for a time, where doubtless she will
gather fresh laurels. She has the best wishes
Of all lovers of true art for that great success
she deserves.

THE SPANISH THRONE. Spanish throne,
so long vacant, seems likely soon to find an
occupant unobjectionable to England, Prussia
and Italy. All these Powers, according to the
latest Geographic reports, have acqniesced in
the candidacy of the Duke of Aosta, son of
Victor Emanuel, for the Spanish crown. In
asmuch as Spain has failed to profit by the
lesson which prolonged interregnum might
have taught, that a king is, after all, but an
expensive supernumerary, this young Prince
who is not Hohenzolern, and against whom,
even if he were the ex-Emperor Of the French

The UHited Stntes in the European War.
Our special and general kilograms from
Europe concur in showing in what great respect
the United States as an important Power is
held on the other side Of the Atlantic. Here
tofore we have had numerous Illustrations of
the high consideration shown America and
Americans by the governments and the people
of foreign nations. American travellers are
the recipients Of courtesies which are not SO
freely extended to the citizens Of other coun-
tries. General Sheridan has been received as
quarters, and General Burnside, whatever his
public or private mission may be, seems to
have easy access into and out of Paris and
other places ON all occasions. Count Bismarck
is disposed to afford facilities for the regular
transmission of dispatches from the United
States representatives in Paris through the
Prussian lines to London. We are told that,
as il is understood the American Legation is
in freer communication with the outer world
than any other place in Paris, persons who are
familiar at the Embassy enjoy kind of dip
lomatic distinction which is not vouchsafed to
others. While the diplomatic corps generally
is scattered and disorganized, most of it's mem
bers having fled to Tours, the Minister and
Consul General of the United States still re-
main In Paris and continue tn hold their regu-
| lar receptions. 1t is said that no Power in Eu-
rope is now so popular with the Parlsans or
| is believed to be so formidable as the United
| States. When the authorities and citizens OF
the two contending parties and other European
Powers have so much respect for us it is evil
dent that propositions for an armistce, with a
view to permanent peace, strongly supported
by our government, would be most likely to
result in the speedy conclusion of the war.
This is a splendid opportunity for the United
States to appear in the proud position of peace
maker between two great European nations,
and to call forth the benedictions of millions of
suffering and sympathizing beings. But we
hear of no active movements on the part Of
the administration at Washington to bring
about this ''consummation devoutly to be
wished" by the civilized world. What we
want at the present moment is an authorized
representative in London, who would act in
conjunction with Mr.. Washburne in Paris and
Mr.. Bancroft in Berlin with full powers TO
present to the belligerents, in the name of the
President Of the United States and the Ameri-
can people, and in the name of humanity, the
American idea on the peace q restion.
