Mr.. Curtis AND THE CIvlL-SERvcE Re
PoRM.--The New York Post referring to the
resignation Of George William Curtis from
the Ciyikservice Advisory Board, says:
"Mr. Curtis resigned his position soon after
the recent Federnl appointments in that Guy
simply and solely because he thought thal
in making these appointments, and Others
elsewhere, General Grant had thrown clyii
service overheard, and that his (Mr. Curtlss)
usefulness as a member Of that commission
was at an end Mr.. Curtiss friends, while
they must all regret the necessity of this re-
signation just So far forth as they feel an IN
terest in ciyil-service reform, will Justify him
for retiring from position in, which, if he
remained, he would be held responsible tpf
acts which are nothing more nor less than q
disregard of public pledges and mtockery
of the public faith" 49,. ,..es5s !;

Let the voters all be arrayed on one side or

to keep the offices and the donors and the

vital question is as between the ascendency
of radicalism, carpet-baggerism, and negro
ism on tho one hand, and the ascendency Of
the intelligent tax-paying people of Virginia
on the other hand, why let this be the issue,
and leave all matters of less importance out

pie Of Virginia that there seems to be a dis
position In certain quarters to raise new
issues. If they favor such course, let them
say so. If not, let them see to it that they
are not misrepresented 10 the next State
Convention Of the Conservative party.

such issues pilhin the party, the State IS
GONE. If they favor a square fight 'o'h

TIE ENGLISH OpERA--LUCA DI LAMAER-
MooR.--The splendid English Opera Com
pany may have selected an unpropitious time
for their visit to Richmond, but the Lcnten
season has had but little effect, if any, upon
the success which they have had and the
very great pleasure which they have afforded
the many who have been In attendance at
the Theatre aeachr evening of this the FIRST
visit of the company to Richmond.
Last night Lucia di Lammerm0or; was
presented. 1t is decidedly the most ambi-
tious performance attempted by the English
company, and certainly the rendition OF
Donizetti's best work fully earned the large
audience which was present. Miss Hersee,
the charming little actress and singer, de
served the handsome compliment which was
paid her during the evening, and reciprocal
ted it with very pleasant persoDatlon OF
the title role. Her singing was quite re-
markable for its beauty and method, and her
illustration of the sorrow-stricken heroine
was a thoroughly pathetic performance. MIR.
Bowler did well rs Edgardo. Mr.. Halps
Harry Ashton was praiseworthy, and Nh.
John Clark as Raymond made great deal
out of comparatively minor part. /
Tonight Fra Diavalo will be given, when
Mrs. Seguin will take benefit. There will
be matinee tomorrow afternoon, at which
the always popular Martha will be offered. (
