own Importance as the Magnus Apollo OF the
republican party. AT all events, he is silenced
upon st. Domingo, and with Schurz and the
other republican mutineers against General
Grant, Mr.. Sumner must now seek some other
point of assault, or give up the fight to cut
him ont and cut him of as the republican
candidate for the succession. ''Where there
is will there is way and We apprehend
that the troubles of most of these disaffected
aud disappointed republican leaders lie
deeper or nearer home than st. Domingo
General Grant, however, has still the party
organization within his reach, and may still,
with proper management, be master Of the
situation. lie is learning, but has yet much
to learn Of the complications OF the political
party machine The examples furnished by
General jackson he may proftably con-
suit in reference to intractable boilers and
the conciliaiory policy of Lincoln with aspir-
ing but flexible malcontents should not be
overlooked. Jackson ruled Calhoun off the
Presidential track as declared enemy; but
Lincoln conquered the aspiring Chase, and
quietly disposed of him as q friend by
making him Chief Justice Of the
United States. LIT General Grant
call the leading republicans of Congress
around him for counsel in any doubtful move
ment hencefortb, and he may escape repeti-
tion of the troubles he has had to encounter
upon ST. Domingo. Let him propose gen.
eral amnesty in connection with the pending
scheme OF bill of pains and penalties on the
Southern Ku Klux Klans and he may do much
to secure his lost ground in the South; let
him be cautions in interposing his authority
| and his personal punishmcnts in relation to
| the local squabbles among his party leaders in
this State, that State or the other, and let him
| seek rather to heal than to widen the breaks
in the party lines, and he may do much to keep
his party together Otherwise the malcon-
| tents may reduce him to the humiliation and
the hazards Of scrub race in 1872.

SIGNS or TROUBLE IN TIE EAsr.--All our
latest news from Europe strangely raises
the question whether war must not soon be
fact in The East. The London Conference
has not settled the Eastern question. By con-
ceding the claims Of Russia the Conference
has not, while il has made Russia vainglorious,
satisfied Great Britain, or, indeed, any Of the
other Powers. Russia raises loan and
strengthens her army. Austria agonizes to
maintain the form Of unity. Hungary is
fighting for an autonomy which would make
her independent of all German influence, and
which might make her the nucleus of new
imperial centre. Prince Charles Of Roumania
remains al his post because he feels il to be
his duty, not because he likes II. The Ger
man press now speaks plainly and tells the
Cls-Leithans that their interests all centre in
incorporation with the empire. As Russia
can now put into the Black Sea as strong
feet as she pleases we shall not be surprised
to learn any day that Russia is on her way to
Constantinople. II the Turk must leave
Europe, why not now as well as later.

Widening Of Brcadway-Jsdse CardOzo's
Opinion.


Looking at tho future growth and require
ments of our metropolis, and in order to keep
pace with the magnificent Improvements
already completed and ia process of compile
ton in the upper part of our rapidly growing
city, no one doubts the more than feasibility,
the utmost necessity, in fact, of widening
Broadway above Tbirty-fourth street, in
pursuance of the scheme that first took practi-
cal form two years ago in the passage Of an
act to this effect by the State Legislature.
This was. well 80 far. Everybody con-
fessed the utility Of the measure. Every
If at all. Everybody saw that upper Broad
way thus widened would form grand COM
panion thoroughfare to the boulevards--would
open another Grand and spacious highway to
relieve our choked city from the grievous pres
sure of It's incessant tide Of travel The
trouble was the corruption, the jobbery, the
manipulations of s'ring' developed in carry
ing out the scheme. Our large and influential
property owners, as well as the city itself,
affected by the 1agitious character of the
awards and assessments made by the commits
sion appointed under the act, fought against
the commission. The fight was successful In
having the commission set aside and the pas
sage Of supplementary act, empowering
Judge of the Supreme Court to appoint a new
commission This power was exercised yester-
day by Judge Cardozo, of the Supreme Court,
in the appointment of Messrs. A. T. Stewart,
William B. Astor and James S. Hennessy as
new commissioners.
On account of the doubts raised as to the
consttutionality of the repeating act for
widening Broadway, aud the recent argument
before him in which those unfolding the old
commission claimed that they had vested
rights, Judge Cardozo prefaced his appoint
meant Of the new commission with very elabo-
rate but clear, cogent and exhaustive opinion
on the subject. III this opinion he substan-
tiates the constitutionality Of the act indicates
the frauds perpetrated under the old commits
sion and ignores the claim Of vested rights,
therein supporting the views of the Corporation
Counsel, who claimed that no vested right
exists until the property is actually taken
and used by the Corporation. This opinion
further wipes out ali the acts of the old COM
mission. The new commission take hold of
the subject de 7og0. II is unnecessary to
comment upon the high character of the new
commissioners. A great and important trust
has been committed to them. 1t is trust
they will discharge with answering fidelity.
If they accept, which it is to be sincerely
hoped they will, it is certain that new and
lively impulse will be speedily given to the
much desired improvements on upper Broad
| way, which, under the old commission, have
been under deadlock. Pending the doubt and
controversy on the subject everything here has
been at standstill, and speculation and bust
ness paralyzed. There is doubt no longer and
controversy Is at an end.

Mr.. SwEENY AND THE QUARTERLY RE
vIEw.-Mayor Hall comes to the rescue of
Mr.. Sweeny, President of the Board Of Public
Parks, in a communication which we publish
elsewhere this morning. The Mayor makes
some disclosures relative to the cause of the
attack OF the Quarterly Reciew on the Board
of Public Parks, which, without being abso-
tuteiy condemnatory, are highly suggestive.
We are glad at least to hear so much of the
other side Of the story, and we will be equally
glad to hear Mr.. Sweeny's REPUTATION of the
charges relative to the mutilation of Central
Park, which the Mayor confidently promises

Musical Prospects.

A foolish ramon has been set afoat to the
effect that Mile. Nilsson will sing in opera at
the Erie Opera House on Eighth avenue next
season. Whatever may be the success of
opfra 6oute at that establishment, we doubt
very much if it ever can he made the head
quarters Of Italian opera. This rumor may
have been thrown out as feeler to the stock
holders Of the Academy TO induce them to
recede from the extraordinary position which
they have so long and so persistently main
tanned against the true interests Of art. There
will be strong, and, we trust, successful,
effort made to enable Mile. Nilsson to appear
in some OF her world-renowned representations
metropolis. II depends entirely upon the
stockholders to make IL a grand success. No
better opportunity could offer to revive Italian
opera upon permanent basis. A doubt has
been expressed by some Of the magnates
alluded to as TO whether the New York public
will pay for Italian opera, the most expensive
OF all amusements. The unprecedented
success Of the four dollar concerts Of Nilsson
should be conclusive answer, and if that
does not suffice we can point TO the brilliant
career OF the Church Music Association. This
organization was formed by number Of
gentlemen who subscribed ten thousand
dollars for few first class concerts
at Steinway Hall. Each concert has
been attended by the crime dc Ia
creme of fashion, evening dress being
H. ,4;,, In Tho oh
three hundred picked voices, may be found the
best solo artists before the American public
and the orchestra, eighty in number, can only
be compared to that Of Theodore Thomas for
efficiency. Now here is on organization called
into existence by the liberalty and combined
exertions Of few of our leading capitalists
and made sort Of fashionable necessity. 1t
has grown into such favor now that it will be
necessary next season to give the concerts at
the Academy and to change the name to some
thing more appropriate than "Church Music
Association" The gentlemen who founded it,
and DR.. James Peck, who conducts it, are
determined to make it permanent success.
Why cannot the same thing be done in regard
to opera? In this society there are abundant
materials for the rank and file of first class
operate company, and the directors are nearly
all connected with the management of the
Academy. There is plenty of time to organize
season Of Italian opera for the fall, and If
the stockholders Of the Academy will only do
as much for Italian opera as many of them
have done in the CONCERT line SUCCESS is
foregone conclusion. Meanwhile we are to
have twelve nights Of opera in May by the
Havana company, with visconti and Villain
as the stars. Even such moroccan will be
grateful 10 the furnishing operate public of the
metropolis.

SENATOR BLAIR AND THE ''BRoDHEAD"
LErIEE AGAN.-The question of the Brod-
head letter was brought up IN the Senate yes
the sentiments expressed in that letter rela-
live to the unconstitutionallty of the recon-
struction laws and the duty of the President to
,disperse the carpet-bag governments but, he
said. the democratic party had never used
such language. Mr.. Blair was not the demo-
Blair. The sbrewd Senator from Missouri
evidently aims to secure TO his party all the
good that famous letter may do it with the
South, while he shields the party from the
evil that may ensue from it in the North.

An adjourned hearing on the reference in
this case in the United States Circuit Court
took place yesterday, for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning what has become of sixty thousand
shares of Erie stock claimed by the English
shareholders to be their property, and now
alleged to be, or to have been, In the custody
or under the control of the receiver appointed
in the State Court to take charge of the stock
in question. The receiver, on examinations
testified that he had not seen the original
certificates Of these shares since the early part
of September, when he delivered them at the
Office Of the Erie Railway Company. What,
then, has become Of them? Who has them |?
This Is what the Court, and especially
Heath and Raphael, who lay claim to them,
want to find out. A member OF an eminent
law firm in this city, who appears as counsel
for the English shareholders, suggests the
idea that If he were to go to the Office OF the
Erie Railway in search or for an examination
of those certificates he would be rudely
treated, IL not violently handled, and expelled
from the place. Other branches Of this rail-
way war have been removed from the State to
the federal courts. The campaign Is COM
mencing in earnest, and, therefore, the
gentlemen Of the long robe had better in
crease their knowledge of "black letter." for
they will require il all in the legal battle that
is about to ensue concerning the Erie manage
mcnt and the disposition OF its stock.

Easter Among the theatres.

Tne penltential season OF Lent Is no less
unpalatable to the managers than to the
devout Christians who are deprived of their
steaks and chops by the rules Of the Church.
A large portion of theatregoers religiously
keep away from the seductions oil the foot
lights during these forty days of fasting and
prayer, and the approach Of Easter is hailed
with delight at every Thespian temple. With
''The Fools Revenge ''The Marble Heart"
and "The Lady of Lyons" at Booths; "The
Nervous Man and the Man Of Nerve" at WAL
LA Grande Duchesse" and "Les Brigands'
at the Grand Opera House, ''Horizon" at the
Olympic, "Across the Continent" at Woods
Museum, "Pluto" at Lima Edwin's, and Sat-
suma's Royal japanese Troupe at the San
Francisco Minstrels, there will, indeed, be no
lack Entertainment the present week. But the
attractions at the various theatres next week
are particularly interesting. Mr.. Booth
revives his Richelieu, in order to honor the
occasion with ecclesiastical pomp and Charles
Mathews makes his first appearance in
America in fourteen years at the Fifth Avenue
tinguished representative of the English
stage, will also appear at the Theatre Francois,
with Miss Laura Keene, aud at Wallacks
standard temple of comedy new bill will be
arranged for the great festival.
Shakespeare, surrounded by all the glory
and splendor OF modern stage art, will be the
presiding genius at Niblos, and a vivid picture
of American frontier life will be unfolded
before the Olympic audience. Even the
smaller theatres are brushing up for the
occasion, and parade their most seductive
bills. No one can complain Of the energy and
liberality displayed by our theatrical managers
to please their patrons, and we only wish that
similar spirit would animate the representa-
tives Of the sister art. With the sole excep-
ton OF the German opera at the Stadt theatre
music will have no place in this Easter
rejoicing on the stage. This is an unaccount-
able fact when one considers the musical taste
so prevalent in the metropolis.
CHEERING PROSPECT OF Crops ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY. published yesterday a
synopsis Of reports from many and different
parts OF the country showing the crop prospect
this year. From every direction the cheering
information comes that there is promise of
great abundance. The growing cereals look
well, and the soil and labor have rarely been
in better Condition to produce good crops Of
cotton, tobacco and other things, while only
little south Of us and throughout the whole
Southern country the peach end other fruit
trees are laden with promising blossoms. This
gratifying news comes from all the Western
and Southern States, and no doubt we shall
have the same from the North and East as
soon as the season Is little more advanced.
What rich and glorious country we have
How favored by Providence Here Is not
only enough for all our own wants, but this
country is the granary of the world as well.
Surely we ought to be thankful for such
blessings.
