the right and honest course more difficult
by condoning an act for which the Secre-
tary of the Treasury should have been i'm

take courage, even from the blunders OF
our opponents blunder it is, when
either the fool or the knave sets himself
up against the immutable law of Coo and
for committing it should be brayed in a

let the knaves who know the truth, but
still to falsehood cling; remember that,
from the day of the old Hebrew prophet to
the present moment, he who has debased

An entertainment of u very different kind has

of " Antony and Cleopatra.n Mrs. Lander de-
serves the highest credit for this attempt but it
is to be feared she will have nothing but trouble
for Antony and Cleopatra ID not a good
acting play. We often hear the remark
"Why is not such-and-such piece brought
out at the Theatres 7" In most cases
the sufficient reply is that they cannot be pro-
duced to advantage; because Shakespeare even
wrote drama IL not entire proof that it il a
good piece to act. II the unities of action were
present in 'Anthony and Cleopatra" as they
are in "Hamlet" and "0thelo" we may be
sure it would be as often done as those plays
are. The leading characters offer great oppor-
tunities for the actor hut the drama is dscur-
sive, fiagmentary, and grows tiresome in repre-
nentation. Mrs. Lander was intelligent and
graceful as Cleopatra, Int did not fill the ideal
of the Egyptian. INDEX.

ASCENSION YESTERDAY AND AERIAL YoYAGE TO
WILMINGTON AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
Yesterday afternoon a large balloon came
floating gracefully through the air down the
western side of the Delaware, from Philadelphia
towards Wilmington. The passengers in the
various boats up and down the river had fair
view of it and it occasioned no little excitement
with the people along the shore. The balloon
crossed the Brandywlne at the Rising Sun about
three miles north of Wilmington and then pur-
SUING more northery course came down on
the farm Of Philemond Chandler, adjoining the
village of Centrevile.
Isaac Fredd, the tenant of the farm, assisted
by some others about the place, caught hold Of
the drag ropes and brought the aerial strangers
to the earth The party proved to be Professor
Donaldson, of Barnums Hippodrome, and seven
reporters sof the various Philadelphia papers,
they having left that city at O'Clock in the af-
ternoon.
Mr. Fredd with his usual hospitality, soon had
the strangers at II well provided farmers table.
where hearty supper was partaken of, when
the balloonists with the exception of three who
were left, again entered the car and reascendiDg
were soon lost to view. At 1850 the party
again lighteda at Stottsvile Pa The highest at
titude reached $500 feet, midway between Ches-
ter and Wilmington, with those cities Philadel-
phia Media and Bridgetonsin full view. After
leaving Centrevile passed kennett Square, sight

east of the latter place.

THE VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY ACCEPTED BY Hts
CHURCH.
The report of the Investigating Committee
was presented to Plymouth Church last night.
In it Mr.. Beecher is acquitted of the charges of
adultery and improper solicitation. Grave errors
of Judgement are admitted, in the criticism Of
which, 1T is claimed, Mr.. Beecher himself will
join. The Committee claim that there is moth
ing whatever in the evidence to impair the con-
fdence of the Church in Mr.. Beecher's Chiis-
tian character and integrity.
The audience to which the report wes read
was all immense one, and the excitement was
intense. The main speeches of the evening
were made by B. F. Blair and II. W. Raymond.
The report was accepted amid great excite
ment. Francis D. Moulton voted "Nay," amid
a storm of hisses.

the room his eyes rested upon Mr.. Mackey,

but never word. Taylor is very bitter against
