The Clews Meeting,

NEW YORK, April 20.-The Grant meet
ing at Cooper Institute. Wednesday night,
is now called Henry Clews' meeting.
Clews circulated the call, used the post
Office to distribute unstamped circulars,
called the meeting to order, detailed clerks
in his bank to act as secretaries, and
finally provided sumptuous banquet and
brass band for the orators. This Mr.
Clews is one of the firm of Clews, Habicht
& Co., London, for whom Grant withdrew
the government deposits from Barring
Brothers. This financial change was made
through an understanding between Grant,
Clews and Secretary Robson. The house
of Barring Brothers was powerful friend
of the United States during the war, but
Clews is considered by Grant to be capable
Of more valuable service at present, and his
zeal Wednesday night will doubtless meet
fresh reward. .s..,

IN CARONDELET STREET.

A leaden dullness. pervades all opera
tions on the street; buyers are none, sellers
are few, and lookers-on as well as can't PM
losophers abundant.
In Ammonia there was yesterday nothing
done. s.ei
In Levee stock no motion ia visible. The
"poor is stagnant, and is by no means
whirlpool. The preferred has now reached
the stage of So 50 paid. Ordinary stock
rates from IS 1914 to $725; preferred is
down at So IS; so the ordinary is going at
half dollar more than the paid. Sales
are slim. sE,,3
Something of motion is at last visible
in Mexican Gulf Ship Canal stock, whose
pulse began slowly to settle and dwindie
until it threatened to 60 into the shades OF
nothingness. We are not precisely aware
what cause there is for it, but since the late
arrangement or reduction from $4,00O,OOO
of stock into 81 SOC, 900, the quality or car
rying capacity has improved. The fact is,
il oblicates the payment of $lO0 o share
this sum being refused by trustworthy
broker yesterday for ten shares.
There is absolutely nothing doing in the
buying up of certificates for city taxes.
Hence they are rated from seventy-seven to
eighty cents; Metropolitan the same, while
city tens are quoted at eighty mine to ninety,
seeming to partake Of the dullness attach
ing to the other city obligations.
Money is reported easy. The unfortunate
man who is obliged to sink the profits of
his business in twelve per cent note can't
exactly see how this is; but it is reported
money awaits the borrower, always reckon
ing he. is good. On the other hand, the
dullness in stocks is attributed to money be-
ing tight, and here we leave the question.

MIR. Dumr.tre as Charles vi.

1t is seldom an artist who is pre-eminent
both as an actor and singer finds role
more adapted to his peculiar abilities than
the character of Charles VI. seems to be for
Mr.. Dumestre. Indeed, what Nilsson is in
lMignon, Wachtel in Postillio,s, and Castel-
mary as MephistopheIes, Mr.. pumestre is in
his personation of the difficult role Of
Charles w., decidedly the most artistic
piece of acting we have seen this season.
As a rule, the strong individuality of this
favorite artist is too marked, and Dumestre
is more prominent than the character as
sumed. But in Charles this is all changed;
the man is absorbed in the character, and
for the time one forgets the existence OF
Dumestre while under the influence of the
unhappy king he personates.
The make up is perfect, and through
out there is an even consistency pervading
the character which goes far to make the
audience feel they are witnessing dread
full reality, SO faithfully does the artist play
the mad man.
The fitful changes Of humOr-now happy
over game of cards played with thrilling
earnestness, then sitting with contracted
brow and fixed eyes, moping and mumblirg
to himself; the next instant, as flash OF
reason light up his mind, assuming the ma
iesty and dignity of king, but lapsing at
once into utter imbecility on the ap-
pearance of the Queen, and ready
to exchange kingdom for play
thing-an these sudden transitions
requiring the most delicate analysis
and study, Mr.. Dumestre depicts
with consummate skill. Again, whose heart
does not leap with Joy when the poor old
man recognizes his son! The mixture OF
love and glad surprise thrown into his
| face as he clasps his boy to his bosom, We
| think, is one of the incest points of the per
Torrance. Then the utter helplessness and
abject terror portrayed in every muscle
where the king is confronted with what tt
his mind are spirits. 1t is painfully intense
and truthful. Added to all this fine acting
is the splendid sympathetic singing of the
artist. The climax of pathos is reached il
the great song "Pity Me-" in the first act
aad throughout the performance there is {
fine blending of song and sentiment ele
gantly developed by the vocal and histri
onic talent of Mr.. Dumestre. Those VIII
have not seen him in this role can not full,
appreciate his great abilities.

Massachusetts Quickstep,

A Washington special to the st. Louis
Times says:
One is constantly hearing of the great
ness of the Liberal movement, and the evil
dence that it really is assuming large pro-
portions daily accumulates at the head
quarters in this city. Letters and long rolls
the West and Northwest particularly
prompt and prominent. 1t is probable that
before this reaches you, you will have heard
of the movement III Massachusetts,. 1t has
been charged that there were no anti-admin-
istration Republicans in Massachusetts, but
an address, now on the eve of being pfomul-
gated, will undoubtedly dispel that illusion.
This address will be in the form OF call to
the Cincinnati convention, very much like
the one issued by Greeley IN New York, and
will be signed by such men as Edward At
kinson, the great tinancier, Warrington,
the noted writer in the Springfield Repubti-
can, and James Russell Lowell. The call
will have the signatures Of large number
not less influential, but perhaps less known
nationally, than the gentlemen named.

The Colored Observation-Disclosures for
Refusal to Unite with their White


NEW YORK, April 2l.--In the Colored
Methodist Episcopal Conference to-day an
earnest discussion took place of the ques-
ton of the union with the white Methodist
Episcopal Church. Rev. T. N. C. Gilbert
declared himself unutterably opposed to any
such union. He said that the Methodists
were like bees working in different hives,
and if the whites thought they extracted
their honey from the top flowers it was no
better than that gathered by the blacks.
Rev. James A. Jones said that various col
ored ministers and bishops would be lost in
a conference with the white church oracles.
Rev. Thomas James said that he was cp-
posed to the union; that the colored Meth
odists existed under sort OF prescription,
and was still "nigger." The speaker also
said that if Jesus Christ, with black skin
and woody hair, would come into the city
and enter the pulpit the white people
would not go to see Him. Bishop Clinton
asked, in establishment, "Wbat, not go to
zee Jesus 2" Rev. Mr.. James answered,
"No, sir, He would have to be whitewashed
first. and religion has got to be white
washed" Mr.. James appealed to the Zion
Conference to take higher and hoier
ground, and stand on Gods platform OF
freedom and equality to all men.
