\ Conc ACT IN TRAGEDY.-One very sui
Try evening n the dog days Garrlck performed
the part OF Lear In the first four acts he re-
c.,ivcd the accustomed tribute of applause at
the conclusion of the fifth, when he wept over
the body Of Cordeia, every eye canght the M
lection
AT this interesting moment, to the astonlsh-
ment of all present his face assumed new
character and his whole form appeared agltat-
ed by new passion. 1t was not tragic, 1t was
evidently an endeavor to suppress laugh.
In a few seconds the old attendant mobiles ap-
peared TO be affected in the same manner, aud
the beauteous Cordelia, who was lying extend
ed on crimson couch, opening her eyes to
see what occasoned the interruption leaped
lrom her sofa and with the Majesty OF Eng
land, the gallant Albany, and tough old Kent,
ran laughing off the stage.
The audience could not account Tor this
strange termination of tragedy in any other
wav than BY supposing that the dramatis per-
.or;c we're seized with sudden fenzy but
their riSibty had different source
4 fat Whitechapel butcher, seated in the
center of the front bench of the pit, was accom-
pa,ied by his masliff, who being accustomed
t. sit on the same seat with his master at home
naturally supposed that he might here ENJOY
the same privilege The butcher sat very far
back and the dog, finding fair opening. got
on The seat and fixing his paws on the rail OF
the orchestra, peered at the performers with
as upright head and as grave an air as the
most sagacious critic Of the day.
Our corpulent Straightforward was made of
melting stuff, and not being accustomed to the
heat Of play house, found himself oppressed
by large and wel-powdered Sunday periwig
which, for the qualification of cooling and wip
ing his head, he pulled off and placed on
the head of the mastif1.
The dog, being in so conspicuous situation,
caught the eye of Mr.. Garrick and the other
performers. A mastiff in a church warden 5
wig was too much it would have provoked
laughter in Lear himself at the moment of his
deepest distress. No wonder then that it had
such an effect on his representative. - Vat

of Signor Sella, Minister of Finanoe,
there has been expended, since 1861,

to our national debt. The country is

will bo paid of in not too distant time.

The Charleston Courier we'll says:

The Charleston Courier we'll says:
SIN February, 1871, a resolution was
passed by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives for the appointment of a
committee of three on the part OF the
House and two on the part of the Se-
nate, to make q complete and thorough
examination of all the accounts of the
State Treasurer, Comptroller General
and Financial Agent, since their induc-
ton into office. with power to send for
persons and papers. and to submit any
part of the results of their examination,
to the Attorney General for his official
action.
'"The committee was appointed, and
upon that committee not single men,
ber of the Reform party was named.
They we're oil Radicals. 1t was COM
mittee of their own party, selected to
pass in judgment upon those who claim
ed to have the power, and to constitute
in their own persons the party. No
more favorable committee could have
been appointed. They were the nomi-
nees of tho Republican party itself, the
conduct Of whose leaders had been called
into question.
1.-THE report of that Joint Special In
vestigating Committee is before US. The
details of that report, in their own Ian
guage, showing 'glaring robberies OF the
Treasury for personal ambition and gain.
the cunning devices used to stif1e and
conceal the real character of the public
debt, 80 as to deceive the public mind as
to the 'over-issue' Of bonds, and the
'complicity of the executive and other
public officials, as the cloakings of con.
federation, by concert OF purpose, with
such as have stolen from the Treasury,
have already been spread before our
readers. This is the report and judg.
ment OF q Radical committee, upon %
complete and thorough examination OF
the conduct OF the Governor, and those
officials who were entrusted with the
conduct and management OF the affairs
Of State.
I'm their own words. they conclude
that legal means to bring these fraudu-
lent transactions to light, and the cor
rupt complicators to judgment, should
be instituted and forthered, there can be
no division of sentiment. The sooner
the work is begun tho less liable will the
guilty be to cheat tho demands OF JUS
tice.'
