e.sJHWe do not understand why the
WaxahaGhie d mocrat classed Dallas
among the aspiran's for The Capitol. No
body here dreams Of such Thing, and the
HERALD has becn opposing the removal
FROM The first. We believe little paper,
published somewhere in the country, not
far from here, did say something about it,
but it struck everybody as ridiculous.
Should the State ever he divided, rallas
will then come in for the Capital Of North
crn Texas. Until that event occurs our
people prefer that the present Capital shall
not be disturbed. Austin answers every
purpose at present, and it is folly to think
of the trouble and expense Of q removal 10
some worse locality.

1t will be seen by the paragraph we re-
publish from the Philadelphia Press, that
Col. Tom Scott and party have left for
their Paci6c visit. The last Mckinney
Enquirer announces the departure of Gov.
Throckmorton. We understand lie was TO
meet Col. Scott and the rest of the party At
Omaha, and that they win be absent abou,
two months. As onc of the Directors OF
the Texas and Pacific Road, it was the
wish of Col. scoti, expressed when here,
that the Governor should go with him to
San Francisco and thence TO San Diego

1t Is somewhat singular that State war
rants of the fundable kind, which were
worth 70 cents on Saturday, when the
news OF signing the funding act became
town talk, should be worth but II on yes
terday, when the signing no longer became
doubtful but a fat aeeompH Such dead
ness in business of this kind has been ua-
frequent, even in the summer months. No
disposition to buy, uncertainty as to the
political future of the State, doubt of the
future developments, all combined make
the condition Of the market state of affairs
without spirit. Even in bank stocks, the
diyidendable kind, such scenes occur as the
following:
'tWhatll you give for fifty shares
81 don't want them"
What would you give if you did want
them Z"
q don't touch them; no calI-can't get
rid Of them
''Well. just make me an offer Of what
you think they're worth-give me something
to go upon"
Ny dear sir, can't do that I've not
the slightest idea oil trading
Sellers cover the field. AS a consequence
buyers do not come out except in small
squads, to see if they car. pick up anything
or catch fly"
Speaking Of this latter posture Of finance
sitting on her launches gloomily, one Of
the quick witted brokers replied as follows
to an ordinary question Of
What are you doing to-day"
Were doing nothing, not enough to keep
up the circulation. / stand here in the
street like a stick in the mud when the tide
is out, nobody tying to me, myself tying to
no one; like bump on a log-ages pass by,
and the bump is still there; like a frog
squatting on the edge Of a mud pond,
solemn-soon as any one comes along he
jumps in for fear Of being picked up"
The entire reports of business are com
bined, a coniugation Of the participle doing
nothing to wit: I'm doing nothing, you're
! doing, etc.
This state of things refers only to the ope.
rations in stocks, State and city securities,
which nobody seems to want, unless at
long Tune, gwen 1Or eohstueEauOn' quota
tons, which are like the wave-marks left by
the outgoing tide that registers its volume
are, of course, nominal" Among the
things that are talked about is the refund
ing OF licenses, which would deplete the
treasury still more and make, if carried
out, the city credit into corpse. Probably
this fact, which is SO protusely commented
upon, does more than any other thing tC
q weaken the market"
The probabilities are that in cotton an adj
vance Of an eighth viii take place; all the
calculations Of those whose interest is in
the staple mot buyersl seem to run in this
current. Yesterday the rates were moi
clearly pronounced, but were said to be al
| Saturdays figures.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
The Italian opera.


sDonizettis grand opera of "Lucretia
Borgiap was rendered in splendid style last
night, at the Varieties Theatre, by the
Italian Opera Troupe. Our people surely
do not know Of the talent composing this
company, else the house would be crowded
every night. We can safely say we have
had'no finer rendition of Lqtcretia during
the past winter than that of last night, and
Of Nine. Corani we do not hesitate to say
her superior has not, for many years, ap-
peared here in opera. She has a voice of
great purity and sweetness, full, round,
rich and sympathetic in every register,
grandly powerful and dramatic, and one
into which she throws a soul all on fire with
sentiment and enthusiasm. Her yocaliza-
ton is true, and particularly delicate for
one with SO large avOice. As an actress
she stands among the very best, and moves
with dignity and grace becoming a
Ristori.
Possessed with such talent, it may read
lily be imagined how thrilling the dramatic
character of Llscretie must have been with
Corani in the role. The audience were not
slow to see, indeed she made them feel that
no common artist stood before them to rep
resent the cruel poisoner. Throughout the
performance she carried the audience with
her, and drew perfect storms of applause by
her passionate singing and acting. In the
bird act where she intercedes for GenaYro
with the Daske, she was particularly fine,
and also in the closing scene when she an
nounces herself as mother to the unhappy
GenarTo. We have never seen her equal in
this character and our only regret is that
the house was not crowded to see this splen-
did artist and enjoy her fine singing.
Baecai as GenoTTo appeared to great ad-
vantage. He sings everything he under
takes with all his heart, and succeeds in
thrilling his audience many times during a
performance by his magnificent bursts Of
melody. His voice is a rare one, and We
shall expect to hear. of his being a great
favorite wherever he may go.
Reina sang the character of the Doike
very well. It.is a bass role, and better
suited to his voice than most Of those in
which he has appeared.
The Roman Hymn was finely sung by
Baccei, and delighted the audience so much
as to be called for the second time 1t re-
fleets credit on its composer, Signor NieolaO
Tonight "Trovatoren will be given as the
closing performance, with Corani and Bae
eel both in the cast.
