In regard to the recent dispatch sent
by order OF the President to the gov
ernOr of Texas, it is stated that without
forming or expressing any opinion as to
whether or not SRntanta had violated
his parole, the President and Secretary
DelanO, fearing he might be executed
before the evidence could be fully col
lected, considered it merely just to delay
his execution. 1t is to-day ascertained
that under Governor Davis's Glenn
ency the sentence OF Sautsnta was COM
muted from death to imprisonment for
life. Under this Communication he has
lately been placed in the Texas peni-
Tertiary.

ANUS gMENTS.



Extensive preparations are being
made for the masquerade ball to be
given at the Exposition tomorrow
night. The managers have removed
the different stands from the building,
which, as is well SHOWN, is one Of The
most spacious bathrooms in the Union.
We hear of quite number Of ladies
and gentlemen preparing handsome
costumes for this ball, which Will doubt
less be brilliant and attractive. Good
music has been engaged for the occasion.
Happy Cal wagner.
Happy Cal Wagner's MINISTRIES appear
at the Memphis Theater tonight, and
continue the rest OF the week, with
grand family matinee Saturday after
noon. Cal Wagner is a general favOrite
with the public Of the United States,
and wherever his pane is heard, it is as
sociated with gladstone songs, comic
rlirth, and pleasant humOr. No city 10
the Union can give Cal Wagner a better
house than Memphis, whose people,
both old and young, he has so frequent
Iy delighted. He now revisits Memphis
with large and well-oTganized min
strel troupe, which, In general excel
lence and individual talent, cannot be
surpassed. Their appearance at the The
alter tonight will be greeted with q
packed house, such q one as Memphis
gives her favorite actors and Ministries.
Procure seats in time.
The DeCastro Troupe.
There was another large Audience at
the Greenlsw Operahouse last night to
greet the excellent DeCastro troupe.
The entertainment was one of the most
delightful our citizens have ever enjoy
ed, aud in addition TO its varied features,
| Il was quite novel and highly amusing,
both to old and young. Prot, DeCastTo's
magic circle mystified and astonished
every one, for he is Q clever artist and
succeeds in everything he undertakes.
Jeppe's character songs were superior to
any we have witnessed on the Memphis
stage for many days, and while seeing
the ludicrous image and hearing the well
accommodated voice Of this accomplish
ed artist, one naturally recalls the orig
inal Lord Dundreary in his role Of in
comparable hurlesques, Miss Fannie in
her performance upon the staff bells re-
ceived repeated applause, and was not
permitted to retire until she had com.
piled with the call Tor another sweet air.
