HyC eIipu Hall,
MILO.

Webster School has such circumscribed
I, accommodations in the matter of school
house, that the teachers were forced to seek
Lyceum Hall as suitable place for the ex-
Eibition exercises. The well known excel
lerce of the Webster and Jefferson schools,
had raised public expectation to such a
pitch that it was no wonder that the vast
hall, the corridors and stairways were all
crowded long before the announced open
ing hour. This was very tiattering indeed,
but when the ladies' and gentlemen crowded
and hustled in, occupying all the available
space to the utter exclusion OF the pupils Of
both schools, it caused disorder and disar-
raugement. In vain did the teachers pro-
test and request. The public knew the en-
tertainment was to be of an unusually high
order of merit, and pertinaciously held
their seats. All this was very compliment
ary, no doubt. but seriously embarrassing
The pupils were scattered here, there and
everywhere. The immense tErong in their
enthusiasm became really tumultuous Only
a portion Of the programme could be pro-
duced.
Miss Emma Taylor. was really artistic.
This young ladys appearance, her style,
her manner, all show her possessed Of ex-
traordinary elocutionary powers ana dra-
matte ability.
Then followed scene from the well
known comedy Of "School for Scandal in
which Miss Amanda Durbridge portrayed
Lady Teazle in a most pquante and grace
full manner, assisted by Master IL. Gregory,
as Sir Peter Teazle, This most difficult
piece of dialogue was rendered IN fine style
by these young people The recitation of
The Maniac" by Miss Eden Murphy, was
very good. The recitation of "Strige to be
Lady" was Interrupted by the auditory;
whether by an effort on their part to be-
come reconstructed or not, we can not say.
The tableaux presented were of the high
est degree of excellence The one Morn
ing and Night portrayed by Miss Jessie
Green and Miss Barthet, was one OF the best
we ever saw. "The -Four Seasons" repre-
sented in tableau, was beautifully pre-
sented.
The musical portion of the entertainment
was necessarily much abridged on account
of the disordered condition of affairs Gre
ated by the great pressure of visitors.
Among the choicest gems of the evening
was the duet, Where the Warbiing Waters
Flow" by Miss Katie Cooney and Miss
Linda Wolf
The comic duet by Misses Alice and Jenny
Fitch is also deserving of especial mention.
Though unfortunately thus 1ebarred from
giving their school entertainment as they
desired the teachers of the Webster School
have determined to give the public better
display of the powers OF their pupils under
more favorable auspices at au early day
next week

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, December :, 1873.

WASHINGTON, December :, 1873.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
The Democrats in Congress and the
Democratic press tried hard to show that
Mr.. Smith had perpetratei a fraud in the
matter of the certificate OF election from
the fourth district They charged that it
was impossible to have had canvass of the
votes within time to get the certificate On
But on the showing of Mr.. Smith and his
friends, they have had TO eat their words
The fact is that they were seriously put out
that he did not take two weeks instead of
eight days to present himself. Nothing is
SO offensive to Democrat as energy.
Mr.. Billings and Judge Dibble have been
busily engaged since Wednesday in pre-
senting additional arguments to members
of the Senate Committee on Elections upon
the legal points involved iu tho case of Sen
ator Pinchback. They have had frequent
consultations with the chairman and other
members of the committee. The committee
met on Saturday, the Senate not being in
session, aud after a lengthy consideration it
was resolved, on the suggertion of Senator
Morton, to hear oral arguments on Wednes-
day evening. This argument will be d-
rected to the question whether the commit
tee ought to be bound by tie decisions of
Louisiana that the government which ac-
credits Mr.. Pinchback is the constitutional
government OF the State. It is generally
believed that the committee will so decide
and report
L. is understood here that the gentleman
who represents the committee of Louisiana
Democrats, he who SO eloquentiy sat in the
gallery of the House, assumes that hs pro-
cured the committee to order argument
Indeed, letter, addressed by him to the
committee, which was telegraphed to New
Orleans and repeated here, i; shown as the
appeal which induced the committee so to
act. Senator Morton, the chairman, stated
to the writer this morning that 10 such let
ter, nor any other letter was sent 10 the
committee, and that he knew nothing of it.
The committee acted OF its own accord. and
the members had no intention CT agreeing
to report then, and at no time until a fair
hearing should be accorded to the represen-
tatives of both claimants
The principal difficulty with which
Messrs. Billings and Dibble have had to
contend is the incomprehensible record
which resulted from the wretcheG manner
in which the case for the Republicans was
presented during the investigation last win
ter. But for this stupidity, a prominent
Senator recently remarked, the case would
now be decided upon the essential legal
points involved.
/ think that there is no doubt that ma
jority of the committee will agree to a
report to seat Senator PInclback

WASHINGTON.

Report OF the Secretary of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON. December l2.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in his annual report.
while urging economy upon Congress, said
that should there not be a revival of busi-
ness at an early day and an increase in the
receipts over those of the past two and a
half months, additional means would be re-
uuiced TO meet expenses.
Should such be the case he would recon-
mend additional taxation, .judiciously laid,
so as to be the least burdensome upon the
people and business of the country rather
than TO resort to borrowing money and in
creasing the public debt.
The Secretary said this morning that the
public debt this month would be largely
increased, although it was now too early to
approximate the amount. He has written
q letter To the chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, recommending and en-
closing bill for that purpose, Tor the resto-
ration of duty on tea and coffee, which Will
yield about So, 900, ,000 per annum.
He also inclosed letter to him from
Commissioner Douglass, making the follow
ing recommendations: Increased tax of ten
cents per gallon on distilled spirits, which
would yield s. 10000 annually; four cents
additional per pound on tobacco, which
would yield $40U0,000: On illuminating gas,
which would give 81 800, 600; on the gross
receipts of railroads from passengers and
freight yielding $6,000,000; Oh steamboat
gross receipts from passengers and freight,
which would add $500, 900; on express COM
panies, adding S50o,000; on insurance COM
panies which would yield $1,000, 900; on
telegraph receipts. adding S250OO0, making
in the aggregate S22 10000.
This. with the tax on tea and coffee, would
make over S40,000000. The Commissioner
SAYS if more revenue is wanted it can be OBJ
tanned to the extent of SIC, 900 900 by restOr-
ing the taxes as formerly in schedule B,
which includes stamps on all legal lnstru-
mentS, deeds, mortgages, etc, thus making
additional receipts of over S32 900, 900 from
internal revenue sources.
The Cabinet.
The Cabinet session lasted two hours and
half. and was mainly devoted to the dis
cussion relative to our relations with Spain.
There are no new features in the Cuban
question.
The Civi! Rights Convention.
The principal business Of the Civil Rights
Convention, to-day, was the discussion of
the report of the committee on an address
to Congress ami the people of the United
States.
The President, replying to the Civil
Rights Convention, said: II am very glad
to receive the convention, and to listen To
your remarks. l have always believed that
enfranchisement and equal rights should
accompany emancipation; these rights
should have followed without legislation.
1t is unfortunate that any enactment is
necessary to secure such rights; but exist
ing prejudices have rendered it necessary.
hope that the present Congress will give
the relief you seek"
