Friend says:
" We have reason to believe that there are
influences at work, which, if not carefully
watched, will hand the road over to a corpora :
ton whose interest it will be to divert it entire

petty jealousy and the policy of certain parties
to whom the stockholders unwisey com mitted
their interests is very provoking. One thing
Is very certain, the picayune policy was tried
aud failed, and the only hope for success was
to stock the road and putt IN cou,}tiou far

U. q. DUN
Acting Governor of LOui
Academy OF Music.

The Two Roses" very pretty and well
written comedy, was given last night by
the Wyndham Comedy Company, and like
all their other productions, distinguished
by most of the good qualities that make
comedy enjoyable. The piece was produced
at the Varieties Theatre early in the season,
after much elaborate preparation, and it
was then intended for run. Of course
considerable expense was gone to by that
management.
By comparison, in some particulars, then,
the representation of last night suffered a
little, but in the acting and distribution of
the parts they were all that could be de-
sired. Miss Sydney Cowell and Miss Annie
Campion were respectively the two sisters
so prettily designated as the charming
flowers. The former lady, as Lottie, gave
an additional surprise, and q very pleasant
one, in her power Of depicting girlish senti-
ment in very pretty and fascinating man
ner. She was the perfect ingenue of the
French stage. Miss Campion. as Ida,
looked and acted prettily and dressed with
exceedingly good taste. Mr.. Wyndham, as
Digby Grant,appeared in a new light. that
of eccentric character acting, and was sue
cessfnl in presenting to the life the testy,
cunning, worldly, but aristocratic and dig
nitied man of the world All these quail
ties were depicted by him with admirable
effect, and the many lights and shades con-
sequent to such character were expressed
by him with consummate taste His make
up, too, was exceedingly good, without in
any way overstraining nature.
Fitzpatrick as Jack HyaH was manly and
spirited, and played with unusual ease and
vigOr. MIR. Woodfeld as Caleb Deecie, was
slightly imperfect in his lines, but was
otherwise good. The Mr.. Furaipal of RYAN
was quiet, unobtrusive, but effective bit of
acting. Giddens added much to the fun of
the piece by his very funny performance of
Our Ar. jenkins, as did also Miss Collette
as ArS. Jenkins
Tonight a great treat is anticipated in
the production of "Capilla's Husband"
and this, besides, being the occasion of
Wyndham's benefit, full house NAV con-
fidently be expected.
We understand it is the definite intention
of the management to produce the great
sensation comedy of "Rocks Ahead" next
week, of which more anon.

solicited so to do; and, after an anxious and
careful reflection in the case of the unhappy
men now before me, l must, however re-
luctantly, conclude that there is nothing in
the circumstances that would warrant
executive interference. The law must take
its course.
1t can not be denied that capital execu-
ton is horrible, either to witness or think
about; but it must be considered, also, that
the unavoidable element of the horrible is
an essential part of the punishment, in
tended to deter evil-doers from the commits
sion of crime. We can not. and we ought
not TO make paradise of the prison or di-
vest the gallows of thst hideousness which
is the great element of terror to ViolatOrs of
law.
Concerning the allegation that public exc
cutions have depraving effect, without
admitting this to be the case, / NAV remark
that executions in this State are compare
lively private. few besides q certain number
OF officials being permitted by law to witness
them.
Finally, believing that the time has come
when the safety and well-being demands
that n firm stand be taken in regard to the
strict administration of law, and the unde-
Waiting punishment of crime / can not con-
sent to offer an impunity to violence and
murder by extending to those fairly and
fully convicted q clemency which would
amount 20 an encouragement for other Of
tenders.
l may remark also, although it has little
to do with the merits of the case that the
death warrant for Bayonna and Abriel was
not signed by ne, but by the absent State
executive. Undoubtedly it was signed after
mature consideration, and l will not CON
travene it.
For all these considerations, gentlemen, /
am compelled, however reluctantly, to con-
clude that it is my duty not to interfere
with the due course of law in the case of
BayOnna and Abriel With great respect.
i remain, gentlemen,

Outrageous Seizure of an American YES
. sci in Cuba.
We copy the following dispatch to the
Cincinnati Gazette:
A letter received from Baltimore gives
the following particulars of the seizure at
Sagua La Grande, Cuba, of the American
schooner Lillias, Captain Griffin, of Stock
ton, Maine. Captain Griffin cleared from
Sagua on the third of April for Baltimore.
and being engaged in arranging his bust
ness on shore until late in the day. did not
arrive ON board his vessel until nine o'clock
that evening. During the night he was
awakened by noise on the vsssel and
upon rising, found a negro trying to con-
ceal himself on board. Next morning he
notified the house that had loaded the yes
sci, and threw her open to be searched.
Down in the hold a young negro was found
secreted, and was taken on Shore Captain
Griffin was thanked for his prompt intor-
nation and assistance, and prepared to sail
when to his surprise the schooner was
boarded by number of Spanish officers,
and he was ordered into arrest. The first
mate was also threatened with arrest. but
before the Spaniards secured him he jumped
into an open boat and put to sea, and was
afterward picked up on the coast of Flor
ida. In Captain Griffin's letter, which was
dated April 25, he states that he was taken
from his bed at midnight, and placed in a
crowded and filthy prison in sultry
climate, where he still remained at the time
of writing, having been three weeks in a
situation where his life was imperiled. His
vessel was still held by Spanish officers,
and there was no prospect of release or
even "a trial or statement of the charges
against him.
