THE DRAMA.

ACADEMY OF MUsIC-sALvISTS GLADIATOR.
Salvini appeared last night in another new char
acter-being the sixth of tho series OF representa-
tions by which he is commencing himself to the
knowledge and admiration of the American public
He had before been seen as OtheIlo IngOmar Conrad
Hamlet and PaOlo He was now seen q The Clad
idtor. This parsonage is the hero of fve-act
tragedy, BY Sign5r A. Sa1met and, speaking with
reference to attributes conduct and experience, ne
may aptly enough be described as combination Of
Spartacus and Virginius. He is typo of enormous
physical vigor. suppressed ferOcity. animal tender
ness and the half heroic. half derious, and wholly
IeOnne defiance Of tyranny. torture, and immense
suffering.
All persons Of massive physique on the stage de-
sire now and then TO play part that will afford
vent for superintendent vitality. 1t is luxury to
them to revel in a free exercise Of the
brawny limb and the expanded larynx, to
rave about the stage to tear passion to
tatters to snort and sweat and bound. and fully to
realize the high vein Of Ercles Salvini seemed to
exut in this mood of physical freedom. He
in tights and rough tunic, belted He wore close
curled hair and q heavy mustache Ho looked
like Edwin Forrest He moved with a supple
stride and with an air above the condition
Of the slave, but it was very obvious that
he aimed at being nothing more than a tremendous
animal. Flashes of a grim, sardonc, humorous
scorn now and then lit up his action and, in the
strong scene in the arena in the frantic scene Of
final sacrifice, he tender and terrible, with
CLEANS of an emotion of paternal love and of human
misery higher than the general tenor of feeling
that marked this embodiment. The recognition
was thrilling SO much the situation would have
done for any actor of competent talent. The defiance
of the Roman people was far finer, as actlng-and
to the last the performance seemed most spon-
taneous and most unique in the hercer traits. For
intellectual enthusiasm there seems no occasion.
At all events we unconscious Of an impulse
in that direction. Salyini has done exceedingly
well something which was scarcely worth doing at
all. Nobody doubted his ability in melo-orama.
Hints of that faculty have been abundantiy
given, all along. His Gladiator may STIR tho
masses of play goers but the intellectual public
expects achievements OF a higher order from
an artist of such high gifts and such
colossal reputation. Tie actor was called
before the curtain three or four times. and
applauded in the most yocifcrous manner.

masters, and partly subscribed by bankers anu
financiers in harmony with the Administration.
We do not here contend that the result wouio
have been different if this had not been done'
but the fact that it was considered necessary
and was done is admitted by all. Ihere
is no computing the harm effected by
one season of such lavish expenditure.
All over North Carolina and Maine vote
was regarded az so much merchandise. VI
course the majority could not be bribed, but
even those who cast unpurchased votes felt
that they were contributing the price Of
vote to their party; and thousands were
bought outright 1t is not probable that this
monstrous expenditure will be soon repeated.
1t is very sure that the bankers and brokers
who gave so freely of their substance to pre-
vent the panic which was to follow the cleo
ton of Mr.. Greeley would not find it in their
hearts or their pockets to repeat just at pres
ent their lavish contributions. The clerks in
the public Offices Also fresh from their VIC
tories in st. Louis and Baltimore, would be
likely to throw Mr.. Harlan's assessing circu-
lar into the waste baskets if the regular two
and half per cent were demanded to-day.
But tho miserable precedent remains, and
in some other time of stress will be used
again, if means are not taken to prevent it.
This is scarcely possible, unless in some mo-
ment of political lull and calm when cOnsd-
erations of public interest and private con-
science are stronger than the dictates OF
caucuses. The politicians of the States which
serve as the preliminary skirmish- ground
where the Presidential fight is decided, derive
too much political consequence and, to speak
without reserve, too much money from these
shameful contests to be wiling to give them
up merely for the public good. But the honest
citizens who see every avenue OF life more or
less incumbered by the rubbish and nuisance
of thievish politics, ought to seize their oppor-
tunity at times like this, and remove one
enormous source Of corruption by fixing their
State elections on the day of the national
contest, at least in Presidential years. If there
be any lawful or constitutional means by
which Congress can aid in thls matter 1t Is
certainly worthy their most careful attention.

THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.

A small party is ridiculous, of course. 1t
being the law of small politics, as enunciated
by the gifted persons who hold offices on the
one hand and the equally gifted persons who
want to hold them on the other, that there
shall be only 3" two great parties. any attempt
to set up third ticket or organize third
party is sure to be derided as visionary and
impracticable. From the practical politicians
point of view the Liberal Republican Conven-
ton at Elmira was very absurd gathering
But was it The Administration party con.
fesses to enough in its own platforms TO work
forfeiture of public confidence. The Democratic
party with its unfortunate record whenever and
wherever it has been in power. is in no better
case. Thousands of honest men in both par
ties admit that this is the condition, and yet
so strong are the ties of party that they con-
tinue to vote with them, and to think with
the scheming demagogues who manage them
that it is the hight of abslrdity to organize
a third party or vote third party ticket.
The gentlemen who met at Elmira, and
passed resolutions, and nominated State
ticket, did precisely this, and, as they say, for
the precise reason that both parties have for
feited public confidence. They certainly
adopted an excellent platform. aud he'd

DIR. Bruins, who was one of the physicians
dispatched from NewOrleans to the relief of
Shreveport, reports that the epidemic which
has so fcarfully visited that city, more than
slecimating it, has now been checked, though
the malignant poison cannot be thoroughly
killed until frozen out by Winter. This is
cheering news, but the plague still RACES at
Memphis; the urgent need of assistance is not
yet over, and the work of charity should not be
stayed until the scourge has entirely disap-
peared.

vote of that city on tho Capital question last Mon

officers elected at the same time was 72S. Ihere
being two tickets in the field. the parties watched
each other on that vote though not 80 closely even
on that to prevent return in one ward OF l,4O1
votes for 1881 voters. But the Capital question
they returned 10 l6O all but &c of which against
the amendment. The total vote is larger than that
of last Spring by 20O0 and exceeds the Presidential
vote by $780, The Hartford papers touch the subject
mildly as if satisfied that NewH Haven is mad enough
already without being stirred up any more. but the
rest are in a great state of conundrums about it.

Five PER CENT BONDS ISSUED. -


The above six per cent bonds are exclusive
of those called for redemption June 1, and of
those purchased at various times in this city.
The five per cent bonds are exclusive of those
issued as representative of the $15,500,000
received from the British Government on ac-
count of the Alabama award. 1t is not our
purpose at this time to denOunce these
secret dealings with the Syndicate, though
the effect of them is to make it impossible to
estimate the supply of gold coming on the
market. We propose to show that the Sec
rotary has it in his power to provide himself
with currency by selling gold, and that he is
under no necessity of violating the law by
issuing legal tender notes in excess of the
limit of $3560OO,OOO, as he is now doing.
These operations with the Syndicate, made
public only on the 1st inst, we are obliged
to consider because they have an important
effect on the stock of gold owned by the Gov
eminent.
A dispatch from Washington last night to
the Associated Press conveys the announce
ment that, lowing to the small receipts from
"revenue, Treasury officials say it will be
necessary to issue $S,OOO,OOO or S0,OOO,0OO of
"the S44,OOO,OO0 reserve to meet current ex-
"penses of the Government during the pres
cent month" A full month ago, in THE
TRIBUNE of Sept. 10, we warned the Secretary
that an actual deficiency In the revenue was
not improbable, and we considered the ques-
t;on how it would be met. We concluded
that his better course would be to sell

THE TREASURY SHOULD SELL GOLD.

1t appears from the last two monthly state
ments of the Public Debt that some private
operations in bond swapping have been going
on between the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Syndicate. These are entirely Independent
of the Syndicates contracts to take fifty
millions of the new fves in place of the fifty
millions of fve-twenties on which interes-
ceased June 1, and fifteen millions more of
fves in place of an equal amount in five
twenties, called for payment Nov. 16.
These private operations, so far as they can
be traced Ia the Debt statements, stand as
follows:

crew under surveillance at Washington is more
than anybody outside of the Navy Department
can divine. IL would seem as though the poor

that they have reached home. The Tyson
party received the same treatment, but there
was nothing in the testimony afterward pub
