Editors OF tho Register:
The appearance, in her appropriate
role. of Bessie Turner, in the dull and
trdiou, realistic School Of Scandal, a. the
same is rendered before Judge Nelson,
of BROOKLYN, rcnews somewhat the int
rest that had nearly tagged out of popu-
lar existence 1t i healthy sign of the
popular morals and good taste, that the
people began - soon I" tir" of the
Be,ehcr-Ti}ton scandal. There hung
about the names Of the eminent filth
eaters and dirt fingers such a dizzy
glamour rs for awhile held the gaze of all
m one universal unsccinS stare. But
the spell Is broken, and lying. lewdne,,
hypocrisy and mcannes>, as they develop
their Lldc0us Ide:Crmitics III the POntih Of
a genuine Plymouth, or the High Priest
Of counterfeit Gcid,t igc are just as
dark. monstrous and rcpulsiye, a when
they hang from the crown OF the COM
mon scoundrcl, and villains. At least, to
this base level "f cstima ion are they
surely settling, and ii is Il healthy and
encouraging sign that they are dong -.
The treat dailic, of New York have
Guessed and coniectured everything
probable and improbable OF, in, about, or
concerning this greatest case Of dirt and
,Iobbcr. except this, which seems To me 10
be a purpose OF the defense considerably
more obvious than any expectation Of &C
quittal. mean. the settled and syste-
matte purpose of Engineering out the
trial indefinitely, until Mr. Jeffrey or
some other sick or sickening juror shall,
in the cunIsc of nature, or in the I'M
natural course ot'worry and aSphyXia OF
the brain and lungs, succumb and die out
Of the casc, thus bringing it to Il barren
and incOnclu,ive conclusion. Rightly,
no doubt. do EyartS and Shcarman count
that if this first terribly eXhausting
mil can only be fought to AN indecisivc
draw. their wounded and tagged antag-
onist NAV fail t. find hackers for Sec
ond trial.
Ten Nights In Bar Room received
mere crcditable rendition ut the hand,
OF our Fairvew amateurs on Friday
night last. in the court house, than | have
ever seen the drama received from any
unprofes,ioual, anywhere, in my expert
encc. 1t was really performed well. Mr..
George ". Hatch i'll the character OF

cdv not strictly comic acting rs YOU will
find once in twenty times in the best
stocked theatres. He brought out Il
good deal better S1,qpie, in fact, than I.

after him conceived Of. Mr.. John 7.
Pugh. as Joe Morgan, had q difficult
part TO play, but he played it naturally
and produced correct dcllueation of the

others al,o-Me.srS. o. ). and +. ID.

whilst the ladies-Mi>ses Alice +. Cas-

Alas, it j, L. be feared that the annual
wailing of the husbandman over the
blasted prospects ofthe frmt crop, Is this
