The city Amusements.
AT THE ACADEMY OF Music the spectacle of
The Black Crook will enter upon its third week
this evening. Beyond question this is the most
elaborate and splendid spectacle ever produced
In this city, and those who saw the Black Crook
when it was given here q few seasons ago cannot
form any adequate idea Of the attractions of the
present entertainments. The play itself has
wisely been cut down until there is not enough
of IL to bore the audience, and great
variety of entertaining features are substituted
for the tedious, uninteresting dialogue. As the
Black Crook is a spectacle to please the eye, aud
net drama to please the intellect, the curtai-
ment of Mr.. Barras' work Is no loss to any one;
and except that some slight dramatic thread is
necessary to combine the various features OF the
entertainment into a harmonious whole, the rest
of 1t could well be spared. In consequence of
the demand for seats, the management have an
nounced that they can be secured twelve DAYS in
advance at Boner's No. 1102 Chestnut street, and
at the Academy.
AT THE CHEsNUT Mr.. Bronson G. Howard's
comedy OF Saratoga or, Pistols for SeUen will
be produced this evening. This piece has re-
Gently finished successful run of one hundred
performances at Days Fifth Avenue Theatre,
New York, where il was the great hit of the
season. This evening the three leading charac-
ters will be sustained by their original represeH-
tatives-Mr. james Lewis appearing as "Bob
and Miss May Fisk as ''Virginia Vanderpoel."
The remaining parts will be represented by the
members of the Chestnut street company.
AT THE ARCH Mr.. John Brougham will COM
appear az 'Shylock" in his own burlesque of
Much Ado About a Merchant of Venice. The
performance will conclude with the comedietta
of The Hdppiest Day Of My Life.
AT THE WALNUT Mrs. D. Z. Bowers will this
evening appear in her great role of Lady Aud
ley" In the drama of Lady Audley's Seoret. The
Lady Audley' of Mrs. Bowers r q wonderfully
fine performance, and is worthy of all the popu-
larity it has obtained.
AT THE MUSEUM, Ninth and Arch streets,
the drama of Uncle TOMS Cabin will be repre-
sented this evening.

CAMDEN, N. j., Ap5il 30, 1870 Editor Newark
Cosrier:-Among the candidates for Governor
learn you name Hon, James n. Scovel, OF Camden,
New Jersey.
This nomination would be most acceptable to the
young men OF West Jersey, and indeed OF the whole
State. 1t would ro1se the people from Bergen down
TO Cape May. The dissenslons aroused while
Mr.. Scove was in the Senate have entirely passed
away. Mr.. Scovels bold and defiant attitude to-
wards Rebellion in all its many-headed msnlfesta-
tons has not been forgotten. Asa radical Republi-
can he has displayed a sagacity for which due credit
has never been given him. And there is a certain
dash and independence Of character about the man
which makes him one OF the most remarkable men
of the country.
That he would sweep the State no man doubts,
and once Governor Of New Jersey, the State would
take no step backward. II. C..LBEs,
