Register I'VE appeal to our people not
to neglect this important duty to-day.
The safety of our city may depend upon one
vote, and no man can vote who does not re-
gister.
We again repeat that the redistricting of
the city requires the re-registering of every
one.
Register the first thing you do on Monday.
DO not delay it, sickness or some unforeseen
accident may deprive you of the opportunity
altogether.
No Republican, who is unwilling to see this
fair city given up to the misrule and oppres-
sion which has marked the course of the pre-
sent Council should neglect to register on
Monday.
Register yourselves, and see that all your
friends and neighbors do likewise.

Hartford, May 3.-The Legislature
met to-day. 1t is understood that
the Democrats will strongly oppose
an investigation by the committee on the
canvass of votes of the matter 10 dispute
concerning the count of votes in New Ha-

undoubted errors in the counts.
The Legislative Committee will have
full power to make a thorough investiga-

received majority for Governor. 1t is
pretty certain from what has been learned
of the action of the Democrats in caucus
that they will oppose the investigation in
every possible way when the Legislature
acts upon the matter.

The Opera Last Night
GREAT sUccEss-cRowDED AND FAsH1sNABLE
AUDIENCE.

uhEAr ooCCEsS-CROWDED AND FASHIONABLE
AUDIENCE.
The amateur rendition of "The Bohemian
Girl" at the Theatre last night, was an affair
long to be remembered by the Richmond public
with just pride. The troupe can well afford
to invite criticism; and to pass them by with
the Consideration" usually accorded amateurs,
is an injustice to their dramatic talent and mu-
sical attainments.
Mr. Grants "Count Arnheim' was rendered
upon good conception of the part In vocal
ization and acting, it is an impressive charac-
ter, and one connected with some of the finest
music o. the opera. He was repeatedly en-.
cored.
"Thaddeus," sustained by Mr.. M. j. Dim
mock, was a happy medium between the ner
vous over acting and the tameness that is go
apt to characterize the amateur lover. He is
perfectly self possessed on the stage, and
knowing the capacity of his voice, uses it with
telling effect
"Florestein" was an innimitable piece of act
ing. Mr.. Watkins nice discrimination be-
tween the fool and the bufoou, is seldom at
tanned even by professionals the music of the
part is exceedingly difficult, but was given
with spirit and expression that called forth
enthusiastic eacorcs.
Upon Mr.. Chamberlayne's "Devilshoof," we
cannot pass more just criticism than to re-
peat the remark of several gentemen-whose
opinion can be regarded as authority-that
his approximation to the elder Seguin was the
nearest they had witnessed since the time of
that celebrated actor. The part is bold, rug
ged, and sharply defined, and one of the most
difficult of conception in the whole range of
opera. Mr.. Chamberlayne threw himself into
it with spirit that evidenced thorough iden.
tifcation with il. Both be and the "Gipsv
Queen are gifted with remarkable control of
countenance. The latter character was most
excelently personated and beautifully dressed.
In her scenes with "Devilshoof' she sustained
him with spirit that materially aided him,
inasmuch as it permitted the full scope of his
conception, without by contrast making him
appear to over-act.
"Arline" charmed the house, both by her
sweet soprano and ner naivette acting. la her
last concerted piece, the lingering traces of the
child OF nature were exquisitely brought out
and blended with the requirements of the
high-born lady.
The costuming, stage business and stage
management, was all that could be desired.
The minor parts were we'll sustained, and the
chorus the best that has appeared before a
Richmond audience for years.
To Prof g. A. Ambold, musical director,
too much credit cannot be accorded, as TO
him is due the success of the performances.
His thorough knowledge of music and ability
as an instructor needs no better endorsement
The performance will be repeated Thursday
night,

Messrs. Cook l. Webb, dealers in hardware,
on Pecan street, though they located in our
city but short time since, have made macy
friends in our community and with country
msrchsSss by their fair dealing. Their BUSH
ness is confined wholly to hardware, and
their stock is large and well selected. 1t
pleases us very much to see such enterprising
firms locating in our midst, and especially is
it a good sign for the future prosperity OF
our city to see new firms adhering as do
Messrs. Cook & Webb, to special branches Of
trade. Their stock ofiron, steet and cutlery
is very large, and builders, and others whose
hardware bills are necessarily large, would
do we'll to call on this new firm and price
their goods.
