FREE PUBLIC LBRARY.-Hon. Stephen
Salisbury, president Of the board OF di-
rccrors Of the Free Public Library, presented
his twelfth annual report of the condition of the
library to the city council at its meeting, last
evening. Mr. Salisbury treated of everything
concerning the library and its management in a
very interesting manner, but at a length which
does not admit OF full publication this morning
His report included that of the librarian, Mr.
Samuel 5. Green, and also the reports of the
finance and other committees, and gave the
financial condition Of the library substantially
as shown by that portion of Mayor Yerry's in
aHgural relating TO the library.
The money matters have been carefully at
tended TO during the year, consequently the H.
Drary is in a good financial condition. The
work on the building at times during the last
two years has put it in excellent repair, with no
further outlay necessary in some time.
The report spoke warmly in praise Of the
librarian. In one place Mr.. Salisbury says
THE accompanying first report Of Mr.. Samuel
S. Green, as librarian, shadows forth the
carncSness and variety of the labors by which
lie has increased the number and satisfaction of
visitors, and has given new life and power to
the Green library of consultation, which some
have been disposed to re gard as dead, because
it can move only in the minds of those who car.
ny out its treasures" And in another place he
says of Mr.. Green: "The common remark that
good librarian is the best catalogue, indicates
but pant Of his value" The number of per.
sons who have begun to use the library during
the eleven months pndiur Nov 9Otb Is owen nc
2O19
The librarians report contains much that is of
interest concerning the various Departments OF
the library the progress made in systematizing,
the increased use made of the Green library. etc.
etc.; but we are compelled to let them pass and
only give few figures in this connection, as
appears in his report: The number of volumes
given out IN the circulating department durinp
the eleven months was 81 ,954; the largest nun.
her in one month"; ,32j-in January; smallest

added to the Green library, 9S3 volumes and 300

/umes aud 1858 pamphlets there have been given to
the library in the same time 4i9 volumes aud $40
pamphlets, including valuable donation from
Hon George +. Iloar. Among other additions
in the lower reading room are three newspapers
for the benefit of Canadian Flenchmen--two ia

books have also been placed in the library for

The TnEATRE.-A select and critical audience
found gregt enjoy mcnt in the performance of
The Marble Heart by the Boston Theatre Com
pany and Mr.. Frank Mayo, last night. The
piece was handsomely put upon the stage, the
setting giving proof that the management are
determined to melit general favor by liberality
of appointments and careful attention to minor
adiuncts. OF the acting of the drama much
can be truly said in commendaton. Mr.. Mayo
had the role of Raphael, the artist, and gave a
very meritorious performance. MIR. Aldrch
appeared in the dual characters of Diogenes and
Voltage, and gained many tokens of approval.
As Mile Marco, the marble hearted coquette
and inuiguant Mrs. }. B. Booth was truly
grand, and gave one of the most admirably
sustained portraits ever shown on our stage. In
earnesmesS, intensity and fidelity to character
she proved her right to be acknowledged one OF
the best actresses Of the present day. 1t was a
performance worthy of all the favor bestowed
Miss Noah, Mrs. Poole, Miss Godthwait, Mr.
Wilson, and others, merit more commentator
than we have room to give. Tonight the eX eel
lent drama Of "Thc Three Guardsmen," founded
on Dumas historical romance of that title, will
be performed, with Mr.. Mayo as D'Artagnan
the adyenturer He will have strong support
and those who visit the Music hall will have
much enjoyment. There will doubtless be a
large attendance, as the excellence of last
nights entertainment will induce all apprecia'
tors Of good plays to give Mr.. Booth the most
liberal support.

Last week, tho Supreme Court Of
Illinois, by ono majority, fined the

that tho Supreme Court would grant

Wilson, the proprietor, and Mr.. Sbu.
man, the managing editor, both testi-
fed that they never noticed the para.
graph, and that they had no desire TO
make any disrespcctful remarks about
tho Court; but it was no avail
Chief Justice Lawrence had "his back
up" and wanted the fine. The in
dications, are, however, that hc will
regret his foolish and silly exhibition
Of spite. Away in tho dead past, it
was customary for lumps Of pomposity

The Radical politicians in Philadel-
phia for several weeks laoored undcr
great excitement, The postmaster,
H. q. Bingham, was elected, or
counted In clerk Of the orphans court,
and Of course q vacancy occurred In
the postoficc. Tho ring candidate
for the position was George Trueman,
truo Cameronits, while the decent
members Of the party presented the
name Of George Fairu.an, a clerk in
the postofficc. To force the appoint
ment Of Trueman, Cameron gathered
up the Mayor, Sheriff, three Of the
members Of Congress, the Register
and all tho leading members Of the
corruption ring, numbering about
sixty, and posted for Washington, in
order To force bis appointment. "The
government" (GranD was mulish, and
refused to tell the ring committee
what he would do. Last week how
ever he appointed Fairman, to the
utter amusement and discontinue Of
Cameron and his corrupt ring. Tho
difference in the names Of the two
candidates was immaterial- Trueman
and Fdirman-but the difference in
the hackers was very great. The
honest element in the Radical party
in Philadelphia has triumphed in this
instance over roughs and corruption
ists, much to the surprise of tho latter,
and especially 10 Cameron, who but
a few weeks previous, in speech in
Lancaster, boasted Of his influence
over the President.
