ENJOYABLE entertainment can be found than

the public the drama entitled the Marble

established himself as an actor of more
than ordinary ability, and we must say
that his acting was better than We have
seen on the boards OF the theatres in the
larger cities. Mrs. Irwin ne Marco WAS X

was the best piece Of character acting we
have yet seen on tho Cairo stsge. The

above those who lay claims to more. The
other characters we're all ably represented

Thieves.

When the Trnmhull resolution
was before the U. S. Senate a few
days since, the administration
Senators cut a sorry figure. In,
their attempts to- defend Grant
and excuse the thousands of de-
faulters who surround him, they
made assertions which were SO
supremacy ridiculous and so no.
torlously lralseg that even those
who feel disposed to stick to
Grant had to laugh outright.
For instance, Mr.. Edmund,s who
is more than suspected of be
ing n of the Grant ring OF spec
ulators, had the ~effrontery to as
sert that:
This administration will com
pare tavorably Gin the .way1aof
honestly with any administra-
ton that ever preceded it froEI
the days of Washington to this
day. There have been embezzle-
ments, I admit, but there have
been embezzlements, under all
administration" &c.tasd -sn45s ts.

. Sweeping Railroad Scheme.

The bill introduced in the House
of Representatives a few days a.
go by Mr.. Killiuger, of Pennsyl-
vania, and referred to the Com
mittee on Railways and Canals,
is described as the most sweeping
railroad scheme ever presented:
1t gives any ten persons who
choose to form an association the
right to build railroad between
any places designated in their
application, which is to be
made to the secretary ofthe In
terior.-It prescribes a uniform
gauge between the inside edges
of the rails of Sc, OF inches, equal
to one metre, and it makes each
association liable TO injury to
property caused by neglecting to
keep the gauge of their tracks to
the required standard. Every
application is to give all the par
ticufars relating to the intentions
OF the Company, whether for
freight OF passenger traffic, points
of starting and ending, course
and way stations, probable cost
of construction, &c. No dividend
shall be over 10 per. cent, per
annum, and If the net profits ex-
coed that, there must be a re-
duction in freight rates for staple
and agricultural products equal
to the excess This bill would
allow all railroads to cross high:
ways at grade, and existing roads
not having the prescribed gauge
to lay another track for making
connections with the new roads
Any such new railway would
have free right of way over al
public lands for one hundred fee.
