FoRD,S OPERA HOUSE-THE SLEEPING
BEAUTY.

FORD'S OPERA HOUSE-THE SLEEPING
BEAUTY.
As anticipated, a charming audience Of ladies
and gentlemen were at Ford's opera house to
grace the occasion Of the opening night OF the
dramatic season, and to enjoy the romantic ope-
ratio extravaganza Of the sleeping Beauty"
This fairy piece is seasOnable. 1t introduces over
thirty performers some Of them ladies remark
able for their beauty and talent, and comedians
of established reputation. 1t does not challenge
sturdy criticism for its only conception is that OF
light and airy nothingness, set off by sparkling
dialogue, rollicking songs and pretty dances;
and when It is remembered that Gustsye Dore,
with his extravagant genius, has designed the
scenery Of this old nursery tale, and that the
brush of GetZ has transferred ii to canvas, and
that lovely women like Weathersby and Chap
man and StOckman and Remick personate the
perfect regal and fairy drGnGtis persona OF the
piece, one conclusion is inevitable. This prelimi-
nary merry season will be enjoyed.

A SOUTHERN CONTEMPORARY-the Nash
vile Commercial RepOrter-in a recent article,
sheds considerable light upon one of the causes
of the want of prosperity in the Southern
States. 1t says there are too many drones
there and too few workers in the hive, and that
" it is really alarming to see the number of idle
hands in the country" Every city and town in
that region is described as being crowded with
young and healthy able bodied men, many of
whom have no avOcatiOns, yet who " manage
to keep alive, tut by what means is wholly un-
known" They absorb the energy of the
country and give it no aid, yet many of the
farms in the State are becoming wildernesses
for the want of their labor. They apply by
hundreds to be clerks in stores lawyers Offices,
&C., yet they have evidently no capacity for
such situations, and do not get them. Summing
up the case in a single sentence, our contem-
DOrary decribes their chief aspiration to be q" to
get place TO avoid manual labor. This
condition of affairs, we are sorry to say, is not
confined to the locality more Immediately re-

CHARLESTON, June 1.-The trial OF
Governsr Moses, for grand larceny,
which was set for tosday, at 0rangeburg,
did not take place, in consequence OF the
absence of the accused. The solici-
tor for the State asked for war
rant of arrest, but the court refused it.
Counsel for Moses then moved to strike
the case from the docket, on the grouAd
that the Governor cannot be indicted and
tried for any crime before courts until I'M
peached. The decision on this point was
reserved, and the case postponed till the
next term, which meets in OCTOBER.
This is regarded US substantially a tri-

THE srrUATgoN-vHE REMEDY.


of Texas to-day, feels the great and
pressing necessity for some stringent
measures to restore the country to its
former condition of peace and Sc,
curity. While we must always and
even set our faces unalterably against
the dangerous theory OF direct pun>
ishment of crime by the people, With
out the sanction of law; yet, the
condition is such that good men and
true have found 1t to be unbearable.
When selfscoHvicted thieves, and
confessed murderers, pass unscathed
through our courts, when they are
strong enough to protect each other,
even at the bar Of justice, when they
are rich and powerful enough to pro-
cure any sort of testimony that the
gravity Of the situation requires, and
when convicted even, appeal is
always made, and thus the ends OF
justice are cheated, for the chances
are that before final hearing can be
Mad, Jail delivery delivers him from
all his troubles. The fault is in the
courts and the application of the law
to these offenders. Quibbles, too,
often are sufficient. The character of
witnesses testiiying before the courts
should be vigorously and mercilessly
scrutinized. Almost any day we may
see upon our streets men whom the
community know to be thieves and
murderers, who are thus turned loose,
and are restored to their lawless EN-.
ployrsent simply because of mere
defect in process, or other trife as
light as thin air.
The arrest OF offenders against the
law is attended with extraordinary
difficulty and danger, and when an
officer becomes conspicuous for the
faithful discharge Of his duty as such,
he is at once marked out for the spe-
clal vengeance of these lordly crimi-
mails, and the ready tool to do mur-
der, is at hand. The peace officers in
the counties must have an extraordI-
nary force at their command, not only
to be able to cope with the lawless
combinations undoubtedly existing,
but also to protect themselves from
their revenge. 1- "-.3s
That the lnefficieIcY Of the courts
and their punishment, is the first cause
Of the present movement of the peo
pie to take the punishment of crimi-
mails into their own hands, none vii
or can deny. Now, let us get to th'
bottom of the difficulty, and lat vi
