The OLD SoUTH CHURCH.-NeSSrs Editors
The citizens are called upon TO vote on the
question whether the city shall accept the act Of
the legislature, comforting the power ON the city
government to buy this church whenever it may
be deemed eXpedent to do SO. This act was
applied for in 1871, but went over as unfinished
business to the legislature of this year; it is not
necessary to say that there is no likelihood that
any city council will take action in the matter
while the city treasury is in its present condition
but it would save the expense to the city and state
of doing the business over again at some future
time, if the citizens should now quietly accept
the act, and there let the matter rest till more
prosperous davS, or till some now unforeseen
event shall make the acquisition OF this property
by the city as convenient as it is desirable

EDWIN BooTH.-A large, fashionable and
intensely appreciative audience greeted Edwin
Booth at his temperance last evening. The
fine points brought out by the acting OF either
star or support were noticed aud literally ap-
plauded, and at the close Of the first play Mr.
Booth was forced 10 appear before the curtain
Ill answer TO an imperative call. The contrast
between the two plays presented, "The Merchant
Of Venice" and "Taming the Shrew," was most
striking. In the first, as the Jew Shylock,
cringing and abect till he thinks he has his
victim in his power, then for brief time letting
loose the worst passions Of his nature, only TO
have his dearest hopes fail, and be forced to beg
the boon of his life at the hands of his enemies,
he is simply above criticism. Throughout the
piece his acting was superb, and the audi.
tor lost all realization of the individuality of
MIR. Booth in his personation of the avancious
and reyengeGul Jew. AT the time of the trial,
when, rising to the hight of his passion, he de-
manded the pound of flesh, a shudder of
horror seemed to thrill the audience. In the
alterpiece, q condensation of Shakspeare's five
act play, Tanning the Shrew," his Petruchio
was finished piece of comedy acting-most
surprising TO those of his audience who, never
having seen him play the part before, hardly
dreamed there was so much in it, The support
was good. Miss Pateman, as Katharine, in the
aiterpiece, was spirited and passionate, and as
Nerissa, in the first play, charming in her arch
ness. Miss Champion, in the court scene Of
"The Merchant of.Vence," was very graceful
and effective. The male actors, particularly
Messrs. Ogden, Bangs and Puteman, ranked
much above the usual standard of supporting
companies.

THE MARTINETTI TRoUPE.-Ihe Martinetti
troupe closed their engagement at the theatre in
a manner which, TO say the least, did them no
credit. In the first place the announced bill, "Le
Roi Carrotte," was changed, and programmes
giving the casts of two other pieces were circu-
lated about the hall. Neither of these were
PLAYED, however, and the audience were forced to
listen to the two burlesques which were presented
on Tuesday evening. As fthis were not enough,
the members of the company hurried through
the programme, cutting every number of it
short, and closing the entertainment at half-past
nine O'Clock, SO that they could take the evening

A Good Authority.

An eminent lawyer in one Of our large cit

United States Supreme Court, writes as fol.
lows concerning the proposed constitutional
amendment, which We published last week
81 have read with great pleasure Judge Poand's
proposed amendment 10 the Constitution render
ing judges ineligible to Office.
have long been of opinion that the Supreme
Court Of the United States is the true balance
wheel in our political system Anything there
fore that is calculated to lessen the confidence Of
the people in that court should be avoided, and
every thing which promises to increase it should
be received With favor. The men who take
their places in the highest judicial tribunal
ever organized should consecrate themselves
to the discharge of its functions. From all other
ambitions than the faithful discharge Of their
great trust, they should be absolutely free. 1t
should not be in the power Of any one to intimate
that their action was on any occasion influenced
by political aspirations.
The proposed amendment would accomplish
this good end, and trust /, may be accepted by
Congress and the States
