A FEEBIE ATTEMPT TO LEaIsr,A ATE

A FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO LEGIsLATE
AGAINST A REPUBLICAN OFFICIAL OF
RICIIMoND.-Everybody agrees that the
present assessor of this city is a capable
and efficient officer, who performs an
amount of labor equal to one-tenth of that
performed by all the assessors of the State.
He is also Republican, by reason of which
he has excited the ''envy, hatred and NAL
ice" of certain Senators, who desire to re-
duce his pay by legislative enactment.
In the present tax-bill, now under dis
cussion in the Senate, one section of the
bill provides for the payment to each as
SCISSOR commission on the excess of TWEEN
ty thousand dollars.
This section effects no officers salary ex-
cept the assessor of this city, and whatever
gentlemen may say to the contrary, the
whole gist of the movement is directed
against the present assessor, because of his
politics. General Terry, in speaking upon
the subject, hoped that if the salary of any
officer was to be cut down Conservative
might be selected, thereby relieving his
party from the suspicion now existing. We
have no idea such move will have any
other effect than to put to shame its movers.

THE ACADEMY OF Music AHEAD
Immense CrOaods Flock to see the Wonder-
tul Nan aoth the Iron Jaao.-We have not
the space to speak of the varied attractions
now at the Academy of Music.
Last night the house was crowded from
pit to dome, with an audience of which
more pretending places might be proud.
Mons D'Abalie, the man with the iron
jaw, and his lovely wife, are the peculiar at
fractions at this place.
Mile Angela is the most perfect work
of nature we ever beheld-her form is ex-
quisite, exhibiting such perfect muscular
development as to excite the wonder and
admiration of every beholder.
The managers have wisely concluded to
retain the popular and charming Hyams
sisters, whose continued success for long
engagement bear evidence of true worth
and merit.
The Academy is truly the attractive
place of amusement, and the immense
crowd of last night attest the wisdom of
the management in securing first class tai
ent, entirely devoid of anything offensive or
vulgar.

Add up these various items and you
have the sum total, amounting to FOUR
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-SIX DOLLARS AND SIXTEEN
CENTS of the peoples hard earnings, that
have been wasted and squandered by the
present State administration within the
past year.
Hard pressed as our people are, they
cannot and will not submit to such extrav-
agance. What is the use to talk of re-
trenchment and reform, while the present
Executive so disregards the condition of the
people as to thus squander their money!
We place this record squarely before the
people, and believe they will rebuke this
stranger who, from his first entrance into
the State to the present time, has been on
a speculative mission, and who has wilful-
ly closed his eyes to the condition of her
people.
What would our Democratic cotempora-
ries have said had not the wisdom and pru-
dence of Governor Wells dictated economy
to him? Such howl would have gone up
from them as would have stirred the very
souls of our people, and although they de-
spise the adventurer and ex-sutler as hearth
ly as do the people generally, they have re-
manned silent over this report, and would
have continued so, but for our exposure of
its contents.
We leave them to do their duty.

The RICHMOND PosToFFCE.-There
is no organized or other formidable move
ment in the Republican party to procure
the removal of Miss Van Lew from the
Richmond postoffice, all newspaper state
ments to the contrary, notwithstanding.
Strenuous efforts have been made to make
out case against this patriotic and de-
serving lady, but we are convinced that the
efforts are confined to very few, and are
based upon such frivolous circumstances,
as to scarcely require any attention what
ever.

The Pope and Rns.ia.

Rome, Jan. 2S.--The Pope yesterday
granted an audience to the Grand Duke
Michael, brother of the Gear of Russia.
This is regarded as indicative of reconcilia-
ton OF the differences which have existed
between His Holiness and the Gar. 1t is
reported that the Pope, in return for per-
mission to refill the vacant Polish Episco-
pal Sees, will expressly sanction the adop-
ton of the Russian language in Roman
Catholic churches of those provinces with
mixed population lying between Russia
proper and Poland proper.

The BALI. LAST NIGHT.-The mas

night, was, of course, grand affair. This
was safely counted on. The theatre was
packed full of people, who showed unmis-
taxable evidences Of enjoyment throughout
the evening. When the curtain was raised,
and the grand spectacle opened to the view
of the audience, all were struck with won
der and amazement, and during the grand
march ofthe masquers gave way to the
heartiest merriment. The costumes, as well
as the movements of the revelers, OCCASION
ed much humor. The decorations of the
hall were in good taste. AT late hour
the company dispersed, all, so far as we
could learn, being well satisfied with the
entertainment.

GILBERT THE FIRST AND HIS ExTRAvA-

Let the Tax-Payers Read and Ponder over the
Squandcring of their Money,

During the present session Of the Gene
raj Assembly, resolution passed the SEN
ate, calling npon the Auditor Of Public
Accounts to furnish statement of all pay
ments made from the civil contingent fund
within the last fiscal year.
The Auditor has responded, and in his
report we find number of items of ex-
pense chargesble to his accidency tho Gov
ernor.
We desire the hardfsted yeomanry of
Virginia, whose stock and household goods
are frequently sold to pay taxes, to glance
at these items, and say whether they are
satisfied to toll on and suffer to support the
extravagant follies of this Democratic car
pet-bagger, who presides over the Executive
Mansion.
The economy and saving which marked
the term Of Gov. Wells compares as the
sun and star, with the spendthrift career of
Gilbert the First. We give the items as
copied from the Auditors report:

This is the phrase applied by His
Blackness, the Moor of Venice, to the
fair ladies Of Italy. 1t was the lovely
complexion of Desdtmons, such a radi-
ant contrast to his own, that won his
heart; and sooth to say, every man Of
discernment considers fair skin, like
sweet voice, an excellent thing in
woman" Now this is a charm which
can be acquired There is healthful
AID odoriferous toilet article, known
everywhere as HAGAS's MAoxoLIA BALM,
which literally transfgures q cloudy or
sallow skin, suffusing the discolored
face neck, arms and bosom with soft,
pearly tinge, and imparting 70 the sur
fsre a smoothness and gloss like that Of
polished marble. Instead OF clogging
the pores. like the sticky enamels, or
contracting them, and thus Obstructing
Precipitation, Ike the astringent cos
metics. 1t cleanses the skin from al i'm
purities and wonderfully improves its
texture. This peculiarly IS particularly
appreciated By our rural bellies, Who hnd
that the coarseness and roughness, which
countrv air IS apt to eugender are
speedilv.removed from their faces, hands
and arms, By this delightful preparation.

The Nation having said that Grant in
the first year of his term surrounded
himself with excellent men" the New
York Sun responds; /" 1t was during his
first year of Office that General Grant
appointed Adolphe E. Borie to be secre-
tary of the navy, although he knew that
Borie had never been familiar with pub
lie affairs, and was disabled by nervous
infirmity for any work whatever, and
could not fix his attention for an hour
upon any subject At the same time
Grant illegally detailed Admiral Porter
to perform, under false pretences, the
duties of the Office to which he nominally
appointed the incapable Borle. Was
this surrounding himself with excellent
men9 1t was also in the first year Of his
Presidency that Grant appointed his
brother-in-law, James f. Casey, a worth
less and incompetent fellow, to be the
collector of the port of New Orleans.
The same year he made his cousin, Silas
Hudson, an ignorant tinsmith of Daven-
port, Iowa, minister to Guatemala. AT
the same time he appointed James s.
Wadsworth, his wife, cousin, to be mar
shall of New York, Notwithstanding his
character proved to be so bad that the
Senate, servile to the last possible degree
in complying with the Presidents wish,
was obliged to reject him.
