THE THEATRE-CPENING NIGHT.-The
Theatre was opened last night for the first
time this season, the Fay Templeton Star
Alliance appearing in Mons. Alphouso ;
or, Tempted Astray; and in the musical
extravaganza, Parepa Rosa. The house was
we'll filled, Notwithstanding the circus claim
ed its thousands of our amusement-seeking
population. The company Is nota large one,
but is sufficient for all practical purposes and
for all the pieces it undertakes, and Is as good
as Richmond ought to hope TO have until she
is more able and wiling to bestow upon the
Theatre larger patronage than has been given
for many years past. Fay Templeton is
child of genius, aHd is the CHIEF, though by
no means the only attraction; Miss Alice
Yane as Raynonde. Miss Isabel Vane as
Madame Guchard, Burton Adams as Oc-
taye, and John Templeton as Captain De
Montaiyhn, all recommended themselves to
the audience by their faithful acting and
esrnest desire to please. The stage was sch
with much taste. Indeed, the Theatre, haV.
ing undergone thorough cleansing, looked
quite pretty to eyes which have been shut oH
from it for six or seven months: The iln-
proyements 10 the vestibule and TO the
dress. circle stairway were noticed and adj
mired by all. The further improvements
contemplated, when completed, will make
lbe Theatre more comfortable and n,sre
pleasing to those who frequent it and who
regard its success as in no small degree im'
portant to our business interests. ...u
But to return to last nights performance !:
the people were in fine humor, and applaud,
ed every meritorious piece OF acting and
every good bit. Such imperfections as ex-
tsted they kindly overlooked. The afte1piece
was :. Parepa Rosa," in which little Fay ap,
peared in her astonishing miniature )Aeness
Of Parepa Rosa, with songs. dances,
and limitations of that celebrated singer.
Her part alone was worth going 40
see. but there were other r62'S well
filled, and the whole entertainment wa;
agreeable, and failed not to satisfy hdles AID
gentkmen, young and cid alike Il wa
sim ple and unpretentious, yet in many re
spects superior TO those Claiming more 1m
portance.
Tonight, Tempted Astrsy wilt be repeat

ChairmIn Committee on Light.
A MINORITY REPORT Mr.. CHRISTIAN THINKS 1T
CAN BE DISPENSED WITH.

| A MINORITY REPORT MR.. CHRISTIAN THINKS 1T
CAN BE DISPENSED WITH.
Mr.. George L. Christian presented mi
nority report, and states that he is most de-
cidedly OF opinion that it can be dispensed
| ,cih without the slightest detrment 10 any
interes. in the city and without any effect
whstever except so far as the Treasury VIII
| be depleted and the pleasure of the Superin.
| tensend .nt interrupted by such change.
MIR, Christian states that he would cheerluliy
agree with the majority it they bad given
xny reasons to satisfy his mind, but they
failed to do so.
The Superintendent performs no duty
which cannot be done without the use Of the
horse and carsSsge. Mr.. Christian calls Spe.
cjal attention 70 the fact that this horse and
carriage are not used 70. c)nveying any ma
teriQls Of the works, but only for the pie r
sure and convenience OF the superintendent.
He suggests the street-cars for the use of the
superin:endent. A quarterly ticket on the
cars NAV be purchased at Sl5, on which be
can ride as often as be peases. This eX.
pensiye luxury has only been attached to
these works within the last three or four
years. and il seems to him that it is the bound
en- duty of the Council 10 90 back and dis
pepse with every luxury and expense III eve
ry department Of the city.
He calls attention to the alarming fact that
these luXurieS according TO the Auditor 5
sta,emenD, the payroll, and the repairs and
expenses OF them for the past cIghteen
months. which are not included IN the AUDI
tors statement, have cost The city the enor-
moas sum of upwards Of $1,000, the Jeed-
ino Of the horse alone costing more than
t,oo and.a.hdL times as much Us IT costs
memper OF tD,s committee 10 FEED MS plVa'e
rorse, and more than It costs 70. hoard u
horse at any litery-s'able in Ric lmond.
where groom " and eUeryM!hq Is 1u!-
pi,hed. THIS amount, thus expended, "ouin
psy the interest at six per cent. on more
than S25, 900 Of the debt OF thlS po)r, laA
ridden community, and the assessments be.
ing increased ach day by the Sfa'e assess
meut now beng made. Mr. CHRISTIAN
tisclaims any personal feeling towards The
SuperlutendenG or any one else in The posi-
tioS be has taken.
Mr.. Christian urged the importance OF
reform, and hoped bis report would oe
adopted.
MIR. Higgins said he believed the former
superintendent, Mr.. Campbell, had horse
and eaoon. but he did no. know who fur
uishcd 1t. .....z 1- -. =.
Mir. S;raus said it had cost more than It
ought TO have done, nut hereafter IL "ouiu
moi cost more than $40 per month.
Mr. Talbot thought 1t was a pretty oig
SUN that the horse and buggy hsd cost ID
eighteen mouths, but he thought II was ne
cessary to keep 1t.
MIR. Curtis said that one good resson why
the Superintendent ought TO have MS horse
and buggy was that he was siXty years ot
age.

Democratic Consistency.

The preamble to the Civil Rights
bill which recently passed the House,
was taken yerbatim from the Demo-
cratic platform in 1872, and reads as
follows:
WHEREAS, 1t is essential to just govern
ment we recognize the equality of men be-
fore the law. and hold that it is the duty
of government in its dealings with the
people to mete out equal and exact justice
TO all, of whatever nativity, race, color, or
persuasion, religious or POLITICAL; and it
being the proper object of legislation to
enact great fundamental principles into
laws: Therefore, Be 1t enacted, etc.
Here is a plain, square, comprehen-
sivc declaration of the doctrine sought
to be made practical by the Civil
Rights bill. 1t is neither more nor
less uncquivocal in the maintenance
of equal rights and the equality of
all men before the law than is the
bill that comes after it, and the Dem
ocrats in Congress in refusing to give
practical shape to their own declara-
tons of two years ago, proclaimed
that their former professions were not
sincere, but made for effect and to
catch Republican votes. The Demo-
cratic party Of to-day occupies its old
ground, and obeys its old instincts of
class prejudice and the denial of
equal rights to all men.

The Bounty Bill.

The Dubuque Times gives the fol-
lowing synopsis of the provisions of
the new soldiers bounty bill, which
has passed the House and now awaits
the action of the Senate:
1t provides for the payment of S.
33k per month for the time ofservice
of each non-commissioned officer,
musician, artificer, WAGNER, and pri-
vate, including those borne on the
rolls rs slaves, who served in the mil
itary service and were honorably dis
charged, for whatever service was
rendered between April u, 1861, and
May Q, 1865 If the soldier be dead
the payment is to be made to the
widow or minor children, but the
amount of all bounties previously
paid is to be deducted from the boun-
ty awarded by this bill. Substitutes
and those discharged on their own
application are excluded from the
benefits OF the bill. When the
amount of bounty under the bill is
less than 800, the person entitled to
receive it has the option to receive in
lieu thereof a warrant, not assignable
for 100 acres of land, the patent,
however, to be issued without requlr-
ing proof of either residence or set

Fire and Cold.

The Fayettc Union, of the 10th,
gives the following particulars of a
heart-rending calamity IN that coun-
ty:
About one o'clock last Thursday
morning, Mr.. Lorenzo Richmond and
family, living in the southern part of
Windsor township, We're awakened
to find their house in flames. The
entire family consisting of the father
and seven children, ranging from
three to eighteen years of age, were
sleeping up stairs, and when awaken
ed the flames were bursting through
the floor Without a chance to don
any clothing, they had barely time to
spring from their warm beds, and
rush out into the bitter, piercing cold
night and battle for life in the blind
ing whirl of drifting snow. But one,
a boy of nine years, named Fred, was
not even thus fortunate, but fell a
prey to the flames that rapidly con-
sunsNned the house and all it's con-
tents.
Quickly getting the surviving chill
dren under the shelter of straw
stack, Mr.. Richmond ran to the near
est neighbor, Mr.. Sensor, about
quarter of mile distant, and aroused
them. A team was hitched up and
driven to the scene of the calamity,
as rapidly as drifts would permit
Arriving there it was discovered that
Jessie, next younger than Fred, had
succumbed to the terrible cold, and
her spirit had joined her brothers in
the better world. All the others were
badly frozen, and Josie, the eldest,
very severely. They were taken to
Mr.. Sensor's, where they have since
remained, and every attention posi-
BILE given them. The only injuries
sustained by Mr.. Richmond were
some burns on the face. DR.. Darnell
reports all doing finely except Josie,
and thinks all will recover.

Cough NO More.

For several weeks past we have
published an advertisement of Halc's
Cough Cordial, together with favora-
bic notices thereof from our ex-
changes. We have recently had oc-
casion to try its virtue in our family.
A little son, sick with the prevailing
fever, was afflicted with'a most dis
tressing cough; which gave him no
rest, night or day. We have little
faith with "Patent" medicines, and
seldom much as try them; but some
thing had to be done, as the constant
cough prevented his recovery. We
accordingly procured a bottle of the
Cordial from the Agents, and com
menced its use according to direc-
tons. The effect was marked from
the very first, and the child that
night enjoyed refreshing sleep, with
only two or three fits of coughing;-
and by the next night there was
scarce 4 vestige of the cough left.
If this is fair sample Of what the
medicine will do, its growing popu-
larity is not to be wondered at

If we are allowed to Judge of the
standing and general liability as a
witness of Judge McCall-whose
severe Judgment upon the manage
ment of the Eldora Reform School
we published last weekly the
character given him by one Of his
home papers, the Oskaloosa Standard,
his testimony is not calculated to
substantiate the charges made. But
there will be no harm in investiga-
ton, and until it is made it will be
we'll to suspend Judgment. The
Superintendent, Mr.. McCarty, has an
element of vindication in the charac-
ter of at least a portion of his ac-
cuSerS.
