SOME fatality evidently exists among those
California Congressman who are unfortunate
enough to become antagonized with this jour-
nal. Eugene Casserly, in ignoble retirement,
furnishes notable example Of our meaning
When we opened the war against him by an
exposure of his corrupt practices, he bristled
up with kind of Dutch courage which did not
at we'll on his Milesian person, struggled
against fate for while, and then resigned from
the Senate. And now Mr.. Luttrell, of the
Northern California district, has had the temer-
ity to follow in Casserly's footsteps. Our first
charge against him has awakened the echoes of
the gorges, canons, big trees, mules and other
things which Mr.. Luttrell represents; and we
ind that he has been mixed up in q certain in
defnably- mysterious attempt to do something,
regarding which he knows nothing, to the
injury of the Central Pacific railroad. Refer
ring to this matter, the Alta Californian says,
CHS demand for an investigation Of the affairs
of the Contract and Finance Committee is pre-
sented without any proper basis. He makes no
charge; he names no complaint, no sufferer,
and no witness, but he requests on general
principles that Congress shall make an exami-
nation of the affairs Of the Contract and FL
nance Committee. He wants to institute suit
to ascertain whether any crime has been COM
mitted, by whom, when, where, and Of what
character"

Hon. A. NJ. WADDELL, the talented Repre-
sentative from the Wilmington IN. c. dis
trict, was unanimously renominated yesterday
by the Conservative convention held at Mag
nolia, N. C. Colonel Waddell is Justly re-
garded as among the ablest of the Southern
delegation, and the compliment paid him yes
terday by his constituents in his absence and
while an invalid, shows that his services in the
last and present Congress are appreciated. AT
the same time we earnestly hope that Some
straightforward Republican may be elected to
fill his place.

THE proceedings of the Oldest Inhabit-
ants Association yesterday are of unusual
interest and value in a local historical point
ofview. Mrs. Anne Royal is inseparably
associated with the early days of the capital,
and the "reminiscences by Mr.. Bowling in
another column are of unusual interest.

THE defeat of Don Carlos at Bilbao is q seri-
Gus blow 10 that kingly adyenturer. If he had
succeeded, his proclamation as sovereign OF
Spain, and his recognition by France were down
on the programme. The so-called republic has
obtained 9 new lease Of life, and IL is BY no
means improbable that Don Carlos will disap-

THE NATIONAL.

There is to be an entire change of bill at the
National this evening. The Carncross &
Dixey troupeare favored with an immense au-
dience nightly whom they apparently entertain
in very agreeable manner. The troupe is
truly deserving of its success, for it is COM
posed of artists of the first order and gentle.
men, as well. The fun is devoid of coarseness,
a recommendation that all minstrel troupes do
not possess. While the singing and dancing
are first-class, the sketches arc extremely ludi-
crous and elicit unbounded applause. There
will be matinee given by the troupe on Sat
urday afternoon which bids fair to be one OF
the largest of the season.

THEATRE COMuouE.

The business being done at this favorite
place of amusement is very large, the house
being filled nightly to the very doors. The olio
is gone through in q satisfactory manner, after
which came 'tze grandee can-can," danced by
the corps of young danseuses of the theatre,
led by the pretty and dashing Miss Frankie
Christie. Screams of laughter and bursts of
applause greet this favorite dance every
evening, all of which attest the correctness of
the Judgment of Manager Rogers. This week
full brass band is placed upon the stage, and
the garden scene, representing the "Jardin
Mabille" at night, rendered additionally at
tractive by number of large, colored lights
ranged around the stage. The ladies who
dance the can-can are also stirred in very
pretty long dresses.

FORD'S OPERA HOUSE.

Mrs. Booth is winning golden laurels at
Ford's, and delighting large audiences by her
exquisite acting and gentle manners. The
lady has become prime favorite at the cap
toll, and will always be welcome in the future.
The opinion expressed of her acting in these
columns yesterday was materially strength
cned by again witnessing her acting last evening
as Juliet. Mrs. Booth possesses the happy
faculty of attaching herself to the audience,
and rendering her presence pleasing and de-
lightful. Mr.. Wheelock renders the star able
support, and warrants the prophecy that he
will yet reach to the top of the ladder of fame
in his profession. Mr.. flanagan, Mr.. William
Harris, Mr.. Stanley, and Miss Germon also ap-
pear to fine advantage in their respective parts.

FINE ARTS.

There is now on exhibition at Messrs. Warren
Choate & Co.'s large collection of sutotypes
belonging to Mr.. Braun. The collection COM
prises all the drawings, paintings, frescocs, an
tique and modern statuary Of all the galleries
in Europe, including the London National Gal
lery, the Louvre in Paris, Dresden, Vienna,
Weimar, Basic, Florence, Venice and Rome, in
all comprising over 1900 subjects of the
masterpieces of the world.
The works of the masters are done by spe-
cies of photographing, for which Mr.. Braun is
famous. The fidelity with which every minute
shade andtouch is presented is truly surprising.
The treasures of the great European collec-
tions, many of which arc jealousy guarded,
and copies obtained with difficulty, may be
seen in these autotypes with even the coloring
of the originals. The autotypes are of various
sizes, ranging from the dimensions of a card
photograph to q picture nearly two by three
feet. The collection should be visited by all
who take an interest In art.

ADJUSTMENTS,
THE PARTISAN FOLLY.

Next week we are to have the Partisan Folly,
from Niblo's theatre, New York, at Ford's.
The combination are doing an extraordinarily
large business in Baltimore this week, and by
the opinion of the press Of that city, seem to
deserve IL. The Baltimore American says
notwithstanding the unpropitious state Of the
weather last evening, large audience assem-
oled at Ford's Grand Opera House to witness
the first performance of the Transatlantic
Novelty Company. 1t is exceedingly gratifying
that actually, everything that has been her
aided by the New York press about this excel
lent troupe is true, and the vociferous applause
which followed every performance of the eve
ming, the best proof for It. The acrobatic feats
by the Almonte brothers and les pctits Rous-
sells; the aquatic performances by Mr.. j. B.
johnson, the skatorial ballet and the jugglery
act are the finest that has ever been presented
in this city. The Man Flute, Don Ferrayra,
cannot be praised enough for the excellence
with which he performed the most difficult
operate selections from Norma and the
musical salute by the Opera House orchestra
was certainly the best appreciation. The per-
Torrance closed with the comic pantomime,
THE Barbers,' in which the Lowell and Al
monte Pantomime Troupe appeared, who did
their best to keep the audience laughing from
beginning to end. Altogether, last nights
performance was the hest of the kind ever
seen, bearing particularly strictly moral char
acter, and the statement of the manager of the
troupe, that his combination comprises all the
celebrities and variety wonders of the Old
World, is throughout verified" So IT,.
e.. OLD FOLKS CONCERT.
Two exceedingly pleasant concerts We're
given on Monday and Tuesday evenings at the
school house, on Nichols avenue, Uniontown,
under the auspices of the Pioneer Sabbath
School, conducted by Mr.. Salmon G. Brown,
with Mr.. William j. Simmons presiding at the
organ. The programme was well arranged,
and the manner in which it was carried out
and the music rendered reflected credit on all
engaged. Among the many pieces sung,
which called forth an extra round of applause,
were the "Armor Bearer" and "Pull for the
Shore" by Miss Martha E. Southern; ga
Sweet Face at the Window" by Miss Lucinda
Younger; "Write Me Letter from Home" by
Miss Anna NJ Brooks; checked in the Cradle
of the Deep" by Mr.. Frisby; "Winter Song"
s'Denominational Quarrel" and Cousin Jede-
diah, by Gideon's band, under the leadership
| of Mr.. Simmons.
The ladies and gentlemen who took part in
the concerts have been invited to pay Wash
ington visit and sing at some of the church
entertainments. 1t is to be hoped they will
accept, and those who go to hear them may
rest assured of treat.
During intermission, on both evenings, Mrs.
Sarah E. Skinner read a very instructive and
well-written paper, entitled "Higher civiliza-
| tion."
Before dispensing on Tuesday night the Sab
bath-school passed a vote of thanks to DR.. j.
L. N. Bowen for the handsome picture of the
late Senator Sumner, which he presented to
them few evenings before.

Seventh-street road was In very bad condi-

have the charter of the road condemned, and
nnally II was condemned Oy act OF Congress IN
1871. The roadway in some places was as mar
row as eighteen or twenty feet, with deep
washed gulleys on the sides. In some places,
in the winter and early part of the spring, It
was impossible; late in the spring when 10 was
very wet weather, or soon after the frost left
the ground, many places had been corduroyed
by pine logs to support the travel. The cui-
verts and the bridges there on the road, win
the exception Of one, were in very dilapidated
condition. ~

you speak off A. There is some on what Is
called the third section, above Brightwood,
and few places in front of John Saul's nur-
sery ground.
O. How has 1t been during the wintera A.
It has been better during the winter than
through the months Of March and April. The
