him, and he will also have the proud distinc-
ton Of having inaugurated Italian opera as a
permanent institution. Mile Nilsson is an
artist Of too high standard to be surrounded
on the stage with materials calculated to mar
her success. As we have said In previous
article on the subject, zone prinla donna does
not constitute an opera company any more than
one swallow makes a spring" Then in the
fall there will be grand revival in the musical
world and many attractions Of ell kinds.
There are the Vienna Ladies' Orchestra and
Concert Troupe, the Parepa-Rosa English
Opera Company, Dolbys English Ballad
Quartet, and host of organizations formed in
this city. We trust that the Italian Opera
season will be of that brilliant character that
we shall hear no more invidious comparisons
between the New York Opera House and
those of the European capitals.

SLAVE EMANCIPATION IN BRAzI.--The Bra
lillian government has presented to the Cham
bers bill for the emancipation Of all slaves
belonging to the Crown. The bill provides,
after sevln years imprisonment, their owners
receiving indemnity from the treasury. The
whole scheme, we are told, meets with strong
opposition. 1t is gratifying to see the Brazil
ian government taking the initiative In this
matter Interested parties, as in our own ex.
perience. will resist. But slavery must fall il
it should tear Brazil in pieces. Spain must
take heed to the example Of Brazil On the
American Continent slavery cannot much
longer be tolerated.

The Resignation of jules Fnvrr.

II has been repeatedly rumored of late that
Jules Favre was on the point of resignng his
portfolio as Minister OF Foreign Affairs. It
now appears that the resignation has passed
into the region Of fact The cable announces
that Jules Favre and NJ. Valentin, Project of
the Seine, have rendered their designations to
~ Thiers. Since the memorable day of Sedan
Jules Favre has been prominent member Of
the de .focto governments of France. SO far
as he has had the opportunity it cannot be
denied that he has conducted with fairness
and becoming dignity the foreign relations of
his country during one Of the saddest periods
of her history. Much will be made by all
parties of the resignation of M. Favre. and
many absurd differences will be drawn there
FROM. The real explanation Of his resignation.
IL may be found, is that he yields to desire
which the friends of NJ. Theirs have more
than once expressed, that there should not
remain 10 bis Cabinet any one who was a
member Of the government of the National
Defence. M. Favre is not the man to remain
in Office if he Is not wanted II remains to be
seen whether his resignation will be accepted.
Should il be found that he retires from Office
because Of his knowledge Of conspiracy to
restore one or other OF the exied rinces, his
resignation will strengthen the cause Of the
republic.

Tho One Term Principle aud One Term
Candidates.


The friends of Philosopher Greeley gave him
q reception last night upon his return from his
tour of speculation down South. This, we
suppose, may be taken as preliminary move
ment in favor of Mr.. Greeleys nomination for
President by the republicans upon the one
term principle-a principle that nearly every
President processes to recognize before his first
nomination just as certain as he is to forget it
after bis election. In opposition to Mr..
Greeley there will, no doubt, be one or more
republicans who will be willing to accept the
nomination on the same terms, or, rather,
term. Of course the plea will not be put in by
General Grants friends, but, rather, they will
bring in his namc in spite Of it. Be that as it
may, it would b, q fine sight to see Horace
Greeley running on one term platform and
some sound and popular democrat, like Robert
b. Roosevelt, on another. Mr.. Roosevelt would,
nomination on the one term platform. The race
would be a gorgeous one, and knock the
field days at Jerome Park or Prospect Park
into demoralized chapeau BY the way, we
notice that the name Of Mr.. Roosevelt is men,
toned in Southern paper-the Atlanta (Ga.)
NeB Era--in a manner which must bring it
prominently before the Southern people. The
Nen Era abuses Mr.. Roosevelt most roundly,
and the best way TO advertise politician in
this country is to commence abusing him.
Raise a cry that he is prosecuted, and his cleo
ton is made sure. Thus much In favor of Mr..
Roosevelt in regard to the South. On the
other hand, NJ. Greeley has just been laying
pipe down there at the rate of five hundred
dollars a lecture, telling the Southerners what
he knows about farmng-and he, perhaps,
never saw boil of cotton on the stalk in a
cotton field in his life. However, here are the
two names for candidates for the Presidency
in 1872, peremptorily on the one term princi-
pie and no backdown Republican ticket,
Horace Greeley, of Chappaqua; democratic
ticket Robert B. Roosevelt Of New York
and may the best man win.

MARsHAL IMAGINATION BIDEs HIS TINE. A
despatch from France announces that Marshal
MaoMahon has refused to become candidate
for the Assembly from one of the vacant dis
tricts of Paris. This announcement does not
surprise us. The gallant old soldier wisely
resolves TO keep aloof from political strife. be-
leving, no doubt, that he can render more
effective service to France 10 the reorganiza-
ton Of the army than be could by engaging in
the political complications which service as
legislator would necessarily entail upon him.
Of all the soldiers Of France MacMabon stands
conspcuously forth "a model of gallantry
and honor. With name unstained and a
record ultainted Marshal MacMahon deter
mines TO retain the position he has so long
and wor,hily tllel-that or tue Grst soldier Of
Ersace.

American Jockey CIaJ.

Five races will be run to-day at Jerome
Park, the first very important one-the
Westchester Cup-which will have four starters
or more comprising Mr.. Belmonts bay horse
Glenelg, Mr.. Babcock's chestnut horse Helm
bold, Mr.. Sanford's bay colt Preakness. Mr..
Bsbcocks chestnut colt Conductor, and proba-
bly, some others The above-named are a
strong field, and the first three will most
likely win places; but it would be difficult
matter before the race to say which will be
first second or third. Besides, the track win
be heavy, and that will be favorable to tho
one of the best bottom. Endurance will have
to be brought into requisition, and should
there be soft spot in either Glenelg, Helm
bold or Preakness some of the others will be
likely to indit.
The second race is mile and a quarters
selling race--the weights to be regulated by
the value Of the horses starting. The third
race will be good one, as it is for all ages,
the horses to carry one hundred pounds,
mile and quarters This will give some
of the non-weight carriers chance, and, no
doubt there will be closely contested race.
The fourth race will be q selling race for three.
year-olds, with weights according to the value
placed upon the colts by their owners. The
fifth and last race of the day will be hurdle
race-a handicap-one mile and three-quar-
tiers, over six hurdles. Altogether there will
be sport enough to secure large attendance.
The Westchester Cup monopolzed all the
pool selling that was done by MCGOWAN &
Underwood last night, and the few sales that
we annex will show the estimation in which
the horses are held by the betters on the
raco:-

Morning Paper Printers.

Morning paper printers are consider
ed by the world ia general as sad set.
They resemble. the sailor in prodiSaii
ty. Working at slavish business
through the long hours of the night,
while the rest of the world are enjoy
ing their natural repose, and who
awake in the morning to find the fruits
of the printers labor ready at hand, to
be enjoyed over the morning meal.
Like the owl, they are lost sight of in
the day time, and only emerge forth
when darkness has again spread its
mantle. They have little time for
recreation, or for the pleasures OF
everyday life they make few acquain-
tances outside their own immediate
circle, and it is only when they have
completed their weekly labors, and
have forgotten for time their ardnous
and almost ceaseless duties, that they
appear in their true light.
Visit any of the drinking saloons
frequented by the craft on Saturdays,
their day of rest, and listen to them as
they gather around the social board.
Among them you will find men who
have Travelled over tile globe, filling
positions of trust and emolumeht in al
most every capacity, soldiers, law ers,
actOrs,s and many other professions.
One noted character among them is
known as the Commodore" having
held at one time prominent position
in the navy of one Of. the South Ameri-
can Republics, but circumstances has
forced him to return once more to his
trade. He now seems as contented as
if Ire had never known what it was ia
command.
The stage in this country has been
indebted for many of its brightest
luminaries to the craft, among then
Burton, Sol. Smith, ST., Mark Smith
Lawrence Barrett, George Holland
Hamilton, Leffingwell, and among The
lesser lights they are numbered by tn,
hundred. They seem to fill eith cas-,
and ability and position which forum,
may call them to. The world consid
ers them cynical set, and if they are
it is not to be wondered. Deprived
through their calling, from association
with the fairer portion of humanity
and dealing with men only through tn
medium of their writings, they los
that respect for their fellow men 'whicl
is natural to the rest of the human
Ispecics.
