KATE FIELD did not achieve the
brilliant success in her debut at Booths
Saturday night, that had been antici-
pated by her friends. The Herald mildly
remarks that as "Peg Wellington she
displayed spnghtliness, taste and true
comedy power" but the Times finds it
difficult to imagine anything more un-
sympathetic than her presence and
delivery, and is ungallant enough to
say that she is neither young nor hand
some, winding up with, "her persona
tion had the excellences Of a frst-rate
amateur effort. which are equivalent to
those of fourth-rate professional es-
say" while the World critic is more
tender IN h1s treatment of her, calling
it "a reasonable success" and suggest
ing that she might do better IN some
role adapted to her qualifications.

The Financial Question.

Special 10 the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The President has been cOuversing re-
Gently with much freedom upon the finan-
cial question, which he now believes he
thoroughly understands. He adhereS very
decidedly to the hard-money views enun-
ciated in his veto message at the last ses-
sion of Congress, and in his famous Jones
memorandum. 1t is the belief here among
well informed persons that the financial
question will constitute prominent fea-
ture in the Presidents message, and that
he will take very strong ground for legisla-
tion in the direction Of specie resumption,
naming, probably, the first of January,
1876, as the time to usher in his specie
millennium. There is not the slightest
that these suggestions will be
adopted by Congress.
General Logan
expresses the opinion that thre has been no
change of opinion among the members,
and that when Congress comes together
the two bodies will be constituted upon
the currency question just as they were
last winter.
Congress will Hang Fire.
Considering the known views of Con-
gress and of the Executive, il is hard to
see how any settlement can be reached for
expansion on the one hand or contraction
and specie resumption on the other.

EnOrmeus Land GFsb-A Decision Of
Secretary Cox Reversed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-UnGer Con-
greSsional joint resolution of 1869, five
citizens were appointed to examine into
the condition of the Union and Central
Pacific Railways, who reported that about
two million dollars would b. necessary to
supply the deficiencies of both roads. Sec
retary Cox at that time, directed the Com
miSsioness of the General Land Office, to
withhold from them one-haf of the land
grant as security for the supply of the de-
ficiencies of the road. The reports of the
Commissioners, who recently examined
the roads, say the Union Pacific has, since
that period, expended S2,215, 900, and the
Central Pacific expended $500, 900, in ex-
cess of the sum FIRST named. The defcien-
cies having been supplied and the roads
considered as complete, reports were sub
mitted by the Secretary of the Interior TO
the President, who, on the recommendation
of the Secretary, has directed revocation
of the order of Secretary Cox, Withholding
patents for half of the lands, which will
therefore be released to those companies.
The Government BurgIars-JudEe
Humphreys Orders the Release OF
Hays and His BondsInen.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE trial of
the alleged safe burglary conspirators was
resumed this morning. The judge directed
the jury TO retire, and then inquired if
Hays was in court. Riddle informed the
court that Hays went 70 New York Satur-
day. Judge Humphreys said he had fully
considered the subject, and had written out
his statement, which he would submit.
He then reeited the circumstances Of the
arrest of Hays, which he characterized as
an extraordinary proceeding and attempt
at lawlessneSs and intimidation almost
unprecedented. He claimed this court had
sole jurisdiction of the case and had entire
control over HAYS. These remarks were
made to show the enorInity of the proceed
inss and that the offense was almost with
out parallel. He would treat the whole
proceedings as a nullity and order the re-
lease of HAYS and his bondsmen, and thus
wipe out this attempt at obstruction to
wards getting at the full facts in this case.
The question of contempt would be eonsid-
cred when.a a return was made TO the notice
issued yesterday.
At the conclusion ofthe Judges remarks,
the jury were brought in, and Mr.. Henlle
proceeded to address them, on behalf of
Whitley, saying that he would preface his
remarks by reading little history to the
jury, and he read an account Of the at
tempts to obtain possession of the throne
of England, known as the Papish plot of
the 18th ceHtary. He claimed that the
Michael Hayes, of this plot, was the Titus
Oates of that plot.
