The Capital Guards were favored last evening
with grand good audience at their entertainment
at Granite Hail. The stage performance was ex-
cellent, not only the standard drama being brought
out in most effective manner. but the tableaux
represented true to life Some of the comic scenes
were well done up and were loudly applauded
Tonight there will be change of programme, a
social dance at the close being attractive feature
The Guards were particularly fortunate last eve
ming in securing the services of Miss Wiley Of
Boston, who happened to be in the city, and who
sang several songs. Her singing was rapturousy
encored as indeed it deserved to be, as it was me-
lodous, full of vvacity, and artsticaly performed

TIE Cosr OF A, SrRlKE.-The New
York Commercial Advertiser estimates
that the loss from first to last to the
workinsmen by the present strike will
aggregate 81, 900, o0o. and 50 100000
to employers. About sixty thousand
mon, employed in twensy-nine different
trades, have been engaged in the strike
from first to last; but several thousands
have returned to work, after holding out
for fortnight or three weeks, and now
it is estimated that only ten Or eleven
thousand remain on strike. 1t is stated
also that the increased cost of produce
ton has driven business away from New
York and Brooilly n; the erection of new
buildings has been deferred, steamboat
contracts have been broken, and the pri-
ces of clothing, and many otsthc articles
in daily use, have advanced.

such conduct We have not admired the
character of Mr., Greeley heretofore nor
do wo now admire it, The question to
us is one of interest and policy. For

There can no longer be any doubt as
to the action of the Baltimore Conven-
ton. Up to date % of the 81 States
have, in their democratic con ventions
signifed tacir readiness to cooperate
with the friends of political reform. The
whole number of votes ut Baltimore is
142 Two-thirds will be 448. The
liberal elements already has 1872 votes,
over two-thirds, and VIC predict that
Greeley aud Brown will receive the
nomination on the first ballot. The Con-
yention will be almost unanimous even

following extract from private letter to
gentleman in Connecticut. Though
it was never intended for publication, the

deemed it of sufficient interest and i'm

Men YORK., June IL, 1871 have

serve it. Hence have said nothing to
