The MONTGOMERY GUARDs.-The second
annual ball of the Montgomery Guards, given
at City Hall last evening, was grand success
Between two and three hundred couples were
present. Most of the Guards were in uniform,
as also were several visitors from other military
companies, and the effect was brilliant one.
The hall was hung with the flags of America
and Ireland, and appropriately decorated. The
music was excellent, the dancing was good,
and all were in the best of spirits. The Guards
fully sustained the reputation they achieved
last winter, and showed that they were an fat
in the matter of balls.
Previous to the opening of the ball, a knot Of
gentlemen called Captain Mcmahon into an
ante-room, where honorary member James
Cunningham, in behalf of the company, pre-
scented with few appropriate remarks, an ee-
CANT watch and chain from the jewelry estab-
lishment of Abner Lowell The captain was
taken completely by surprise and could scarcely
find words to express his thanks for the gift.

THE SERENADERs-This evening Buckley's
Serenaders open at Music Hall, with their laugh
able burlesque on the opera of ILucreza Bor-
gia. Those who are familiar with the opera
say that the burlesque is very funny, and such
was the verdict of those who saw the troupe
here last fall 1t should be remembered that
the exquisite music of the original is retained,
and the burlesque is on the words and the dra-
matte situations The orchestra is very fine.
The troupe embraces among others, Swaine
Buckley himself, Budd, rockingham, Eva
Brent and Minnie Loder In addition to the
burlesque opera, variety performance will be
given, in which the various artists will appear
in specialties. Reserved seats are now for sale

The latter declared it as bis belief that
the interests ot the great Republican
party were not identified with the
maintenance OF the so-called govern
ment in Louisiaps, or kindred estab-
lisbments in Southern States. No
party could endure the iniamy and dis
grace that bad been brought upon
those grotesque caricatures OF gov
ernment.
The discussion closed with speeches

LONDON, June S.-The Earl OF Vars
borough, said to he frequently "druDk
az lord" is again mtssing, and the
police are now making an earnest
search Tor him. On Tuesday last the
earl WAS in the House OF Lords and
deputy.sergeant, thinking him in a
worse condition than usual, accom-
panied him into an ante-room. A
short time afterwards the deputy re-
turned 10 the room but the earl was
not there, and since then no one who
knows him has seen him.

AND still there is something peculiar
about political affairs and politicians in
bleeding Ksnsss. We sll remember
the melodramatic air OF injured lnno'
cence with which State Senator YORK
exposed the effort made by that high
toned statesman, sometimes irreverently
termed "old subsidy PoM.," to lead him
from the paths OF reCtitude and virtue
by the payment OF seven thousand dol
lars to secure his vote for PoNRRoY as
= candidate for the United S,stes Senate;
and for a time there was an impression
that this "son of York" WAS a rare bird
among Kansas politicians in that he
seemed to have some symptoms ot
honesty.
Ex-senator PoMERoY was indicted for
bribery, and the machinery OF the Ia"
in such cases made and provided was
set in motion against him. But no"
comes the information that YORK and
others who were prominent in produc'
ing PoMRRoY's downfall are extremely
solcitous that the case shall not proceed
TO trial and have petitioued the Cour'
for its dismissal. The inference is tha'
there ia a good deal OF rottennes'
among prominent men in Kansas, and
that the judicial exposure OF PoMR'
RoY's character may lead to some un'
pleasant developments in relation tc
other public men OF the State. We are
glad that the Judge has determined
that the case must come to trial. The
proceedings will be watched with some
degree OF interest.

Cabau Corruption Fund.


New YoRK, June 8.-Allegations
having been made recently that the
Cuban bonds were placed in Washing
ton for the purpose Of corruption, SenoI
Aldamas, the only agent for this couu-
try authorized to pledge the credit OF

otherwise, write to say that "he has
always had too high an opinion OF the
American Congress to attempt to sway
it's action in regard tc the belligerency
question by any corrupt means.
Catholic Matters.
A letter from Rome speaking OF the
Vatican says a curious fact to make
record OF is that one frequently hears
the United States praised for it's liberal
treatment Of Catholics, both now and
with a few exceptions in the whole
course Of it's history. The only aerious
otfense charged against the United
States is that we will still persist in
maintaining those dreadful public
schools which makes it less
hopeful for the Jesuits 10
find in that vast country ground ior the
propagation OF the doctrines OF the Sy lila
bus and Papal infallbility. The priests
say that what the Catholic church has
lost in Europe in the past two centuries
has been more than made up by what
it has gained in the new world. The
first ste ps have been taken, and before
long beDeiac,ion will be bestowed by
the church on the name OF Christopher
Columbus. The examination of his
title to Catholic heroism has for some
time, by command OF the Pope, engaged
the attention OF the doctors of the canon
law. The claim is founded on great
act, little less than inspiration, by
which Christopher enlarged the
boundaries OF the Christian world.
The Chamber OF Commerce appoint
ed a committee to-day to 20 to Wash
