OF the Roses.
The triplet of essays on Italian Opera in
New York, which we published on this day
week, have brought forth a similar number
which we publish to-day. The great interest
which the public has taken in the subject will
be our excuse, apart from the value of the
communications themselves That they dis
agree, and on many points radically, is no cri-
terion by which to judge their merit or the
BUSINESS Of their respective causes "viator"
proceeds methodically with his statistical exhi-

that the ''star" system is an incurable evil,
and that the being unjust enough to expect
''the support to rival in excellence the stellar
apex of the operate pyramid has no idea of
the ratio between the salable price Of seats
and the purchasable price of perfect COM

of certain ladies in certain rifles that
the combatants cross swords in earnest.

The Storms Of November In Europe
and America.

The Storms Of November In Europe
and America.
While New York is looking at its first snow
storm Of the season we receive details from
Europe Of the terrific tempest which swept
over the northern portions of the Continent,
working ruin and disaster along the southern
shore Of the Baltic, among the islands of the
Danish archipelago and far out upon the
German Ocean. Storms in the month Of
November are things that the coasting pop
ulation of Scandinavia have Justly
learned to dread. Rushing down from the
north they drive the waves before them, and,
in addition to the shipping dashed by their
force upon the lee shore to the south all the
low-lying islands and the coast Of the Cont
nent are visited with inundation. Nine years
ago in this same month similar storm de-
stroyed hundreds of vessels then afoat in the
North Sea, and year after year the November
storms in that wide northern region count
their hundreds Of victims by sea and land.
The storm of Wednesday last must have been
unusually severe. The town of Stralsund we
learn, suffered terribly from inundation and
damage to buildings by the fury of the wind.
In the neighboring islands of Daro, Zingst
and Hiddensoe the loss of life was very great,
and to those surviving the horrors of hunger,
thirst and exposure were reserved. The
smacks of the island fishermen were broken
to pieces the wind and rising waves tore
down their dwellings even the wells on
which they depended for fresh water were
flooded with water from the sea. The larger
island Of Rugen also suffered from the in
undation. 1t is gratifying to observe that
the Prussian government, with commendable
promptitude, has despatched steamers laden
with creature comforts to the unfortunates
visited by this calamity. Along the serrated
coast of Denmark and its islands the storm
has also flung destruction broadcast. The
town of Presto, in the island of Seeland. was
badly inundated, and the small island of
Botoe completely submerged for time, all
the inhabitants being drowned. This sad
array of disasters does not cover the extent of
the misfortune Reports of losses to shipping
reach MS in increasing numbers and for a
week at least we shall be unable to compute
the full loss.

The WEEK IN WALL STREET was remarkable
for the tapering down of the excitement that
followed the Boston fire to dulness greater
than that of the preceding week Stocks un-
derwent smart rally from the 'break' of
Monday and left off nearly as they closed the
Saturday before the fire. Gold was strong and
closed at 113s. Money was active and tight
ell the week but was easier at the close.

Will spread throughout AHico, Who'll 80
very idea that animated Henry Clay In ms
steadfast advocacy of the American freedmen's
settlement of Liberia. We infer, too, nom
Sir Bartle Frere's enthusiasm upon this SUD-
ject that these colonies are part and parcel OF
his important mission to the East African
coast. And here, dismissing the other speak
ers of the evening, we may diverge to few
concluding remarks upon the services OF MI
Stanley in bringing the attention OF the Queen
of England and her government to active
measures for the suppression Of this horrible
slave trade of East Africa, the ramifcations OF
which extend through Abyssinia and the whole
valley Of the Nile, and through all those re-
gions around the Nile sources south OF the
Equator explored by DR.. Livingstone.
Enterprising and adventurous men, in their
boldest enterprises, have often achieved won
ders which they dreamed not Of in the outset.
Thus Columbus, in his adventure for western
passage to the East Indies, stumbled upon a
new world. Thus "Old John Brown" in his
insane raid upon Harper's Ferry, rekindled
our slavery agitation into revolutionary fire,
in which slavery in this country was con-
sumed. Thus Brigham Young, in planting
his Mormon community at Great Salt Lake,
though never dreaming Of such thing
opened the way for our pioneer Pacific Rail
road. Thus Stanley, the HERALD Commits
sioner, detailed to the heart of Africa to
find DR.. Livingstone, comes back from his
perilous but successful adventure with such
revelations of the savage atrocities OF the
East African slave trade that the British
Queen and the British government are
brought at once to active measures for it's
extirpation. That heroic old Christian philan-
nthropist, Livingstone, has said, but in the
voice of despair that he would rather be rec
ognized in the future as ON instrument IN
the hands of Divine Providence, through
whom this African slave trade was abolished,
than as the discoverer of the sources of the
Nile, and now it is probable that with his re-
turn to civilization he will find his dearest
dream in progress of fulflment and himself
chief among the heroes of this great emancipa-
ton.
Thus often apparently the ablest instru-
ments achieve in the purposes of Omnipo-
tence His greatest designs. 1t is impossible
now, with ell this accumulated testimony
against it, from Livingstone, Stanley, Burton,
Spoke, Grant, and from that king Of African
explorers, Baker, and from hundreds of other
witnesses, that this East African slave trade
can much longer survive. But it is to the ap-
pealing voice of Livingstone, the voice as Of
one risen from the grave, that the civilized
world is most indebted for these active Eng
lish emancipation movements; and in this
view the NEW YORK HERALD recognizes great
and enduring reward far transcending its high
est anticipations from its Livingstone Search
Expedition.

The Pope AND THE KING OF ITALY. His
Holiness Pope Plus the Ninth remains firm in
his declaration of the non possunsus against
Italy, as well in her Treasury as her general
diplomatic national policy. Signor Sella Min
lister of Finance in the Cabinet of Victor EN-
manuel, has just informed the Pontiff officially
that the State guarantees the payment of the
annuity voted to him by the Parliament Car
dinal Antonelli replied that the Pope sde-
clines to receive the annuity" The Pope, by
his action in this instance, sustains the princi-
pie of o free Church in free State, and his
refusal to take large sum of money which
has been raised from the Italian people by
direct taxation is, no matter what may be his
influencing motive, creditable to him as
priest and patriot

afterwards formed and voted for by the

The Cadiz Republicans says: The en-

railroad began the survey of the Cadiz
route under the supervision Of Mr..
Robinson, chief engineer Of the COM
psny, on Tuesday, October lst. This
survey begins at the mouth of Piuey
Fork and follows up the main channel
of Short Creek to Cadiz. After piercing
the ridge at Cadiz, it will follow down
Standing Stone Fork to some point in
Franklin township, from which it will
diverge to the north, connecting at Bow.
erston with the line Of the road hereto
fore surveyed to that place. The point
of divergence in Franklin township will
be either east or west of the town of
Franklin as may be deemed most IA
vorable for the location of the road by
the engineer himself. The engineering
party is expected to reach Cadz by
Wednesday evening of this week, and
the entire survey will probably be com.
pleted by the 10Th inst.

Sad Accident.

On Wednesday evening Of this week
a sad accident occurred at a steam saw
mill few miles above Ellenboro. A
little girl, whose name we did not as
certain, came running into the mill
while it was in operation, and becoming
entangled in the machinery, was in
some manner brought into contact with
the saw and literally cut to pieces. DR..
Sutton, Of Ellenboro, and Hall, of this
place, were called to render surgical aid
to the little sufferer.
P. S.-Since the above was put in
type we have learned that thechild is
dead. The accident happened about 4
o'clock and she expired about 9 o'clock.
Her name was Anna Elma Ewers,
daughter of Elwood and Clark Ewers,
and was eleven years of age.-Ritchis

ANENr the recent extraordinary vot-
ing in Philadelphia the Age remarks
that it is a scandal, which may seri-
ously affect the character of many per-
sons of hitherto unblemished reputation,
that the clergyman OF Philadelphia
were generally found to be staunch sup.
porters of HARrRANFr at the last cleo.
ton. Scarcely less remarkable is it
that they were noticed to be generally
drunk, disorderly and addicted to pro-
fame swearing. There ought to be no
doubt about their identity, for that was
not questioned at the precincts where
they voted. Some doubt, however, may
be thrown on it by the numerous COM
plants which we hear OF. like these

Two clergymen, Rev. Drs. B. Grigg
and r. c. Patterson, appeared before
the Commissioner and charged that
they had been refused voting on the
ground that other persons had voted on
their names.

HORSE THIEF ARRESTED.

An Old Operator Caught at Last.
From the Richie County Star, Oct. lo1
On last Thursday a portion Of the
village was electrified by the iuforma-
ten that Lsycock, the horse thief, who
passed through here three weeks ago
that day with Ave horses which he had
stolen, had had the audacity and reck-
less effrontery to come back with an
other horse, and put up al the Grant
House, the place where he had stopped
before. 1t appears that he rode up to
the house and inquired ifthe stable was
locked, and being answered in the neg
alive, put up his horse and came back
to the house. By this time Mrs. Wat
son had recognized him, but before
she could give information to any
one, he went into the room and picked
up the Star, containing local in refer
ence to him, which he had no sooner
read than his whole manner changed.
He threw down the paper, and going
back he told Mrs. Watson that he
wanted his horse fed Immediately and
that he would not wait for dinner,
although he had previously ordered
dinner and had requested that his
horse should not be fed until after
wards. Mrs. Watson then appar.
emily carelessly asked him how he
had succeeded with his horses that
he had here, and he answered in q
tone that evidently trembled from some
strong emotion: "Pretty we'll" After
| he had gone to the stable Mrs. Watson
| sent for Mr.. H. C. Culp, who came up
and taking the keys went and locked
the stable. He had scarcely got away
from it when Laycock came to the door
ard finding it locked, walked away and
was not seen again, leaving fine horse

TIE negroes in several of the large
cities have shown themselves in the
present campaign unworthy Of the DO.
litical privileges that have been confer.
red uponithem. They have been AFRO,
CANT and quarrelsome, faucying insult
where none was intended, and quick to
resort to deadly weapons whenever they
imagined themselves offended. While
the white people are. as general rule,
tolerant and good humored in their diff.
ferences of Political opinion, the nc.
groes are intolsrant and proscriptive
and are easily melted to deeds
Of violence. In nearly every po.
litical riot that has taken place
this year the negroes have borne
. prominent part, and 90 great is the
terror they have created in Cincinnati
that the Adjutsnt General, as q measure
OF precsution, has been compelled to
take from the negro militia battalion

GROSS, a negro orator from Arkansas,
who attempted 10 speak in favor of
GREELEY and Brown.
1t is not in this way that the negroes
will prove thsir fitness for the trust re-
posed in them, or establish the wisdom
Of their investment with the privilege of
voting. The negro population in this
city and State has been generally quiet
orderly and well behaved. They claim
no more rights than white men enjoy
and seem to be content to let every man
think and vote as may please himself.
But the almost daily accounts of polit-
cal disturbances in other cities show
hat the negroes there have not LEANED
he lesson Of moderation which happily
prevails among their brethren in West
Virginia.
